Organicity WordPress Theme Installation

1. Set the SCRIPT_DEBUG constant at the top of /organicity/functions.php to false for production: define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', false );

2. Copy the organicity directory in this project to the /wp-content/themes/ folder of your WordPress install. Run the shell command grunt in the project root before copying to ensure the latest versions of the JS and CSS files have been concatenated and minified.

3. You can remove the _src/ directory from the copied theme folder if you wish as this contains the unminified js and sass files and won't be used by the active theme.

4. Login to the WordPress dashboard, navigate to Appearance > Themes and activate the Organicity theme.

5. In the dashboard navigate to Settings > Permalinks and select 'Custom structure' as the permalink style. In the adjacent text field enter /blog/%postname%/ and click 'Save Changes'. Custom permalinks require the mod_rewrite module to be active in Apache. On Nginx servers you may need to modify your config file, see this link for more details.

6. This theme requires the Meta Box plugin. In the dashboard navigate to Plugins > Add New and search for 'meta box'. Install the plugin named Meta Box (by Rilwis) and click 'Activate Plugin' once it has downloaded.

7. Create 4 pages named 'About', 'Blog', 'Contact' and 'Home'. Navigate to Settings > Reading and select the 'A static page' option for the 'Front page displays' setting. In the dropdowns set 'Front page' to the 'Home' page you created and 'Posts page' to 'Blog'.

8. In Appearance > Menus create a new menu called 'header' and assign the following pages (and a custom link to /events) in the order shown below and select 'Header menu' for the 'Theme locations' setting at the bottom of the panel.

9. The Organicity theme adds a custom settings panel in Settings > Social media. Here you can add the URLs to the different social media pages for the project. The icon links in the site footer will use these settings.
