UPLOAD, SETUP & USAGE

Thanks for purchasing the Video Elements WordPress Theme. To get started, simply upload the

“videoelements” theme folder included in your download package to your target WordPress

themes folder (http://www.somesite.com/wp‐content/themes/).

Once uploaded log into your WordPress administration control panel and click the

“Presentation” tab (WordPress 2.3 or below) or the “Design” tab (WordPress 2.5) and choose

the Video Elements theme as shown below. Your theme selection should now be activated.

SIDEBLOG SETUP

There are a few more things you have to set up before you start using the theme. First… create

a category called “Featured”. This category will be used to display the “More Featured Video”

list found within the default sidebar. When creating a post, select the “Featured” category for

any video you want to be listed within the sideblog.

POST RATINGS INSTALLATION & SETUP

In order for the post ratings to work throughout the theme, you will need to download and

activate the WP‐PostRatings WordPress plugin found at the link below.

Once downloaded, upload the “postratings” folder to your WordPress plugins folder

(http://www.somesite.com/wp‐content/plugins/). Activate the WP‐PostRatings plugin through

your WordPress admin control panel. (Shown below in 2.5)

Now that the ratings plugin has been activated, you need to configure some ratings options.

Click the “Ratings” tab in your WordPress admin control panel, then click “Ratings Options”. If

you want the ratings feature on your site to look exactly the same as on the Video Elements

demo please refer to the following screenshots on how to adjust your ratings options.
