[0. Preparation]
*Categories
Please sort item posts for sale into 'item' category which is automatically set by welcart plugin, and sort blog posts into 'blog' category.

* Default thumbnail for blog archive page
On blog archive page, this theme shows thumbnails automatically from 'post-thumbnail', otherwise one of attached images. But when any post-thumbnail or attachment is found, no-image.jpg (in /img/ folder)  is shown as the thumbnail of the post. We recommend you to replace no-image.jpg with your own.


[1. Top page]

*How to set slider images
1. Prepare images of 1600px x 400px.
2. Go Apparance, choose Header.
3. Choose the images you want to show.
4. All uploaded images will be shown as slider.

*'What's new' Box
New marchandises within 15 days are shown in randam order. If you want to change the period, open front-page.php then change the number of "strtotime('-15 days')" on line 22.

*'Recommended' Box
Marchandises in 'itemreco' are shown in randam order.

* In case you choose Front page displays > A static page
Page article (without title) will be shown between 'What's new' and 'Recommended' Boxes. You can add bunners or images from the static page editor.

* In case you choose Front page displays > Your latest posts
Between 'What's new' and 'Recommended' Boxes, 8 items except new items and recommended items would be shown in randam order.


[2. Archive page]

*Thumbnails
Priority of the thumbnails: 1. post-thumbnail, 2. one of the attached images, then 3. no-image.jpg in /img/ folder.

*Number of posts to show

- other categories (such as blog posts) : the number you set at 'Blog pages show at most' in 'Reading Settings'.
