Setup
You’ve reached the general information setup instructions for the Chapter26 Wordpres theme created by Chris Fay, for ThemeForest.net. 
The fastest way to build this theme would be to download the exported demo content provided and import it through your freshly installed Wordpress install.
This will import the content, links, custom fields, etc… that exist in the demo, allowing you to view and customize from a functional standpoint.
This approach will also allow you to more easily see how things have been configured through a functional pre-configured setup (and how they should be configured), rather than digging through docs piece by piece – hopefully a bit easier. I will however provide basic information on how to setup each page in the demo as well, so if you need further help just hover over the setup link to activate the more specific subpage documentation for further details
As always, if you need further help in setting up this theme, have questions, would like customization assitance, or need anything at all, please email me directly either through this demo’s contact page or through my personal site located @ chrisfay.net
Below are some general items you will want to be aware of…
Navigation
The navigation links are page based, with a single level of subpages used for the dropdown navigation on hover. Simply create the main pages and any sub pages you want to use and they will automatically be created appropriately. The ordering can be controlled via the chapter26 options panel (ie alphabetical, manual order, etc…)
Category ID’s
Remember to enter the category id’s required after importing/creating the required categories, or you’ll have unwanted content show up in your header and the blog roll after import and when creating new content.
Color Schemes
There are two main color schemes – a dark and a light (dark and ‘SnowWhite’). Simply toggle between the two via the chapter 26 admin options to suit your needs.
Page Templates
There are 4 main page templates – Profile, Work, Testimonials, Contact – each requires a page to be created and the template assigned. The Profile page has been configured as the home page, and the contact page is a fully functional contact page – all you have to do is set your email address in the chapter26 options panel to receive emails.
Theme Admin Options
For fun, I decided to update the admin interface for all my themes moving forward. As you’ll notice, chapter26 utilizes an accordion style hierarchical interface to group the volume of options, making it easier to sort and find information, also making it bit more fun to play with. I’ve also included quite a few additional admin options to make it easier to customize and include many options for your needs. I hope you enjoy it!
