Theme setup wizard

Olymp comes with a setup wizard that enables you to create the demo layout with a just a few clicks.

After installing the theme, in your Dashboard go to Appearance > Theme Setup.
The setup wizard will ask you to install and activate necessary plugins, and import the demo content. Please be patient while WordPress imports all the content.

Adding a logo image

Setting up the menu

This theme has three menu locations, the Primary Menu (main menu), Footer Menu and Social (the menu to display your social media profiles). Create menus and assign them to each of the available locations. Learn how to setup WordPress menus →

Social media icons

This theme will automatically display links to your social media profiles as icons, using a Custom Menu. Learn how to setup social media menu →

Header image and content

First add a header image. In your Dashboard go to Appearance → Customize → Header Images. Add the image you want to display. You can add more than one and randomize them. Header image size is 800x968px.

You can add some text on top of the header image. In your Dashboard go to Appearance → Widgets and add a text widget or any other widget type to the Top Widget location.

To add or change the text of the call to action button, in your Dashboard go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options and you will see two fields; one for the url of the button, and the other for text.

Configuring the front page

In the front page below the header image, this theme will display the latest posts by default. You can assign a static page to display in front instead of the latest posts. Learn how to display a static page in front →

This way you can have the Home Page template, a default page, that is a page with a right sidebar, a full width page or your shop display in front, instead of the latest posts.

Home page template

This theme comes with a custom made template to create an attractive and very functional home page, just like in our demo.

Create a page and assign the Home Page template to it. Learn how to change page templates →
Add a featured image to this page, which will be resized to 2000x700px.
Assign this page to display in the front of your website Learn how to display a static page in front →
Note that the featured image of this page will display in the bottom section of the home page.

To have a video instead of the featured image like in our demo, upload a mp4 video in your Media Manager or somewhere else and in your Dashboard go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options. Add the url of the video in the respective field.

Featured Content

If you have WooCommerce installed and activated, below the Front Widget will appear WooCommerce product categories. Add an image (thumbnail) to each product category, suggested size is 535x535px. You can add a thumbnail in the bottom of the screen when you edit a WooCommerce product category. Add also a description to that category.

Alternatively you can have featured content instead of WooCommerce product categories. In your Dashboard go to Appearance → Customize → Theme Options and check the box to Display featured content instead of WooCommerce categories. If you are not going to use WooCommerce, the theme will automatically display featured content.

To feature a page or post, in the bottom of the right column in the editor, check the box to Feature post in the front page. Add a featured image which will be resized at 535x535px.

Video Widget

Above the video in the front page there is a widget location named Video Widget. In your Dashboard go to Appearance → Widgets and add a text widget to this location. Learn how to add widgets →

To add a call to action button to the text widget like in our demo use this html code

<a class="btnmore" href="url goes here">View collection</a>

Front Page Bottom Widgets

At the bottom of the Home Page template there is a widget location named Front Page Bottom Widgets. In your Dashboard go to Appearance → Widgets and add a text widget (first) and an image widget (second) type to this location. Learn how to add widgets →

To add a call to action button to the text widget like in our demo use this html code

<a class="btnmore" href="url goes here">Explore our shop</a>

The image you add to the image widget should be square in order to achieve the circle effect. The name and the job title are the caption of the image. Wrap the title inside span tags to give it a different style like this

<span style="font-size:13px;color: #999;text-transform:none">General Manager</span>

WooCommerce

The theme does not need any special settings for WooCommerce, it is setup to work out of the box.

If you need help to get started with WooCommerce, here is a tutorial.

Block patterns

WordPress has introduced the ability to create pre-designed block patterns that you can use like a block template in any page or post. This theme comes with four pre-designed blocks that you can use anywhere in your website.

What makes block patterns even more special that you can edit it freely and add additional elements to each block. Learn how to add block patterns →

Team members

This block is designed to display a three column responsive layout that you can use to display your team member. It includes an image, the person’s name and the job title. You can add more information to each column if you wish.

Note that you can use this block more than once in any page to display any number of team members.

Suggested image size is 480x560px. View team members pattern →

Cover block with text and button

This block is designed to display a full width section with a background image. On top of the image it includes some text and a call to action button. Use this block in a full width page template with no sidebar. Suggested image size is 2000x600px. View cover block pattern →

Services block

You can use this block to display three columns, each of them including an image, a title, a description and a button. You can edit, or delete any element. You can use this block more than once in each page to display as much content as you want.

Suggested image size is 640x426px. View services block pattern →

Contact form block

This block is designed to display some content with a contact form and an address block in the right. In the demo we are using the Contact Form 7 plugin, as this theme includes styling for this, but you can use any other form. View contact block pattern →

Wishlist feature

Wishlist is not a built in feature in Olymp. You need to use a plugin to have this feature. In our demo we have used YITH Wishlist plugin. The theme includes styling for this plugin, but you can use any plugin you like.

Follow the plugin instructions and assign a page where the wishlist is displayed. After that go to Appearance > Customize > Theme Options and add the url of the wishlist page in the respective field.

Footer section

In the footer you can use a text widget to display some information related to your business. In your Dashboard go to Appearance → Widgets and add text widgets or any other widget type to the Front Widgets location. Learn how to add widgets →

In this theme you can edit the footer copyright info from the Theme Options.

Thanks for your help. Viva support, as usual, has been excellent.
Good product and great support – hard to find these days.

Jim Tom

Moving websites isn’t ever as easy or as simple as you imagine when you start out. So having Viva Themes respond to us within 24 hours every time we called for help was a massive win. He was also to the point and ‘easy to use’. It never felt like we were being a pain, and he always gave clear and simple instructions. So simple even I was able to follow.

Barrie Bramley

Ever since I purchased my theme from VivaThemes.com, I have received unparalelled support from the staff. In fact, every time I had a question or needed help with something in the code, the staff at VivaThemes replied very promptly. In regards to the theme, I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism it conveys for my business. I feel very comfortable referring potiential clients to my site – it is one of my best marketing materials. Thank you so much for the fantastic theme and all of the support, I look forward to more great themes in the future!

Justin Ferriman

Buying the Revival theme was a great decision. The template is beautiful and very easy to edit. If you look at the site I build with it I have just touch little things… and not just me… even many friends and other people say to me that the final design is amazing… and i laugh when i get realized that i have just worked not more than a week on it! Thanks Vivathemes, thanks a lot!

Juan Pablo Villani

We bought the Revival theme, and it has been one of the best investments so far for our business. A very clean and custom theme that gives you a fantastic framework to start with! They answer both on Twitter and e-mail. We will buy our future themes from Viva, for ourself – and our clients!

Espen Eik

Taking on the responsibility of building a web site for my organization was daunting, but with the immediate help of Mike and the user friendly designs I’ve been able to present a product that my boss is not only content with, but ecstatic about. The immediate response from Mike for tech support was not only pleasurable, but simple and to the point. I would recommend VivaThemes to anyone interested.

David Sharrocks

J’ai acheté un thème chez Viva et ai été surpris de la rapidité et de l’efficacité des réponses qui m’ont été fournis. L’Equipe m’a aidé à régler tous mes problèmes, les thèmes sont bien codés, fonctionnels et très bien pensés. Le package envoyé permet de bien comprendre les fonctionnalités particulière de chaque thème et les fichiers transmis, de pouvoir retravailler le thème le plus facilement du monde. Un grand merci à l’équipe, qui j’espère, continuera à nous faire profiter des ses talents !

Georges Langeard

I needed a professional theme but straight forward layout and navigation. A microsite if you must, Delirium almost read my mind! Everything i could want in the theme was there, and the fantastic theme customisation panel gave me total layout control. I simply edited css colors, images and in less then an hour i was up and running – would have been quicker if i wasnt gawking over the well written code.

Naeem Mayet

Viva Themes has been great, they quickly responded to my questions with straightforward answers. Their WordPress themes are not only great looking but they are easy to modify, even for someone with no previous experience like me. I looked around at many different places for a theme for my company website and chose Viva Themes for their great pricing, ease of use (love my advanced theme panel), and customer service.

Gene Klingonsmith

Thanks for building small business themes…
So many WordPress themes are fine for blogs, but useless as a small business Web site (WordPress is a handy CMS after all).
That’s why I’m overjoyed to say “thanks” for building themes with home pages and other Web site goodies. I’ve already built a site using Delirium, and while I’m not techie/Web developer, I was still able to create a site that made my client very, very happy.
I purchased the complete themes pack, and expect to roll your themes out for other small business customers. Great work!

Tom Chandler

I used your Revival theme for a client’s wellness and pilates business. The process of modifying your theme for their branding and color was simple. Good job.

Robert Ivan

I just wanted to thank you guys for your themes and the fantastic support. My company develops websites for small businesses and entrepreneurs and no matter how expensive I have yet to find themes to compete with the high quality and service that you provide. I look forward to seeing what other themes you develop!

Ryan Meo

I am not a web designer, but I had a short deadline to make a website for a luxury leather brand for the Japanese market- in Japanese. WordPress was still fairly new to me, and while I knew that there were thousands of themes available, they were either too expensive, too chintzy or otherwise not appropriate. That was until i found Viva Themes. Several of the themes were exactly what I had in mind and in the end I chose Delirium. I had a couple of problems and had to contact them. They were extremely helpful- very fast, courteous and more than willing to help me solve my problem. I am so glad I went with with Viva Themes- not only for the great website, but also for the fantastic service. Thanks again. I will definitely be back.

James Kemp

I wasted a day of my life looking through thousands of free themes, then I found you guys, 5 minutes & $48 later and I was completely happy. The Space + Color theme was exactly what I was looking for and more, my client was bowled over by it and I must say using it really raised the standard of the project. If you cost a day of wasted productivity and stress against finding a superb solution in 5 minutes for such a great price it doesn’t take a genius to see the best option. I think Viva offer the most stylish and reasonably priced themes available and will most certainly be purchasing more.

Rich Bos

Your themes are very clean, simple and easy to customize. All of my questions were quickly answered via email and the Space+Color theme worked perfectly for a site I did recently. Thanks for the awesome theme!

Brandon Maskell

As a very new and inexperienced user of WordPress and having very little experience of building websites at all I thoroughly reccomend Viva Themes to you.
I used the Prospectum theme to build my website and it is so easy to use and is superbly customizable.
I also recommend Mike to you as he is very supportive and as a newbie ‘web designer’ I probably drove him to distraction with my queries regarding CSS – all of which were answered promptly with easy to understand answers.
I have little knowledge of the WordPress template business but these products are ludicrously under priced in my opinion. GBP 27.00 is the bargain of the century!
Thank you Viva.
