Creating Vertical Menu

Artisteer WordPress templates support Vertical menus with pages or categories. To configure pages on your vertical menu go to Export Options and select Pages before exporting your template.

You can also add a vertical menu from WordPress Administration (for dynamic sidebars) by going Appearance -> Widgets -> Vertical menu.

Creating localized WordPress Themes with Artisteer

When exporting themes Artisteer automatically includes several language files obtained from Wordpress Website at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Localization

Specifically French, German, Italian and Spanish translations are exported by Artisteer in the Wordpress compliant file naming format: <country>_<lang>.mo

For example German language file is: de_DE.mo

Installing additional language support

To include a different or additional language support in your Worpdress theme please find and copy the desired language files into your specific Wordpress theme folder.

You can find the additional language files in your default theme folder
"<WordPressFolder>\wp-content\themes\default",

or on the Wordpress Website at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Localization.

To select a different language than your current Wordpress language, change the "define" function in the wp-config.php file, for example: define('WPLANG', 'de_DE').

Editing translations

To edit translations for your language please download and install Codestyling Localization plug-in from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/.

Then in WordPress administration select Manage -> Localization.

Customizing the Footer

To customize the template footer via WordPress 2.6+ administration:

go to Administration -> Appearance -> Footer
edit the HTML

Please note that the footer content will be placed within the Paragraph container (<p>).
