OK thats it for ou Woothemes Delicious Magazine Review
how do you enable the "unique features" i have the delicious magazine already on my site, but i don't see the options for any of those listed features
Hi I have the Delicious magazine theme on 2 of my websites. It is a pretty theme once its set up. Once you have installed the Delicious theme look in the left hand column of your admin panel and just between the Comments and appearance tab and you will now see the Delicious magazine tab. If you click on tha tyou will get all the options for the theme divided into General options, styling options, typography, featured panel, etc.
While they ALL let you customize the colors, fonts etc of your blog, it is the featured panel that lets you set up the really nice looking slider and the featured items. Basically the only trick for the slide is to add a unique “Tag” to every post that you want to appear in the slider. (For example you could use the word Slider as the unique tag). Each one of these posts will need to have a featured picture so that the picture appears in the slider. You then just set the options in the featured panel. If you have more questions ask me here or go to the woo support forums!
