1. Getting Started with WordPress

SpeakerSumo is a WordPress Theme (Tip: What is WordPress?) designed to showcase professional event and conference speakers.

You have made the right choice. Using SpeakerSumo requires an intermediate knowledge of WordPress.

This means that you should have basic knowledge of using WordPress. Our theme is made for WordPress.org (as opposed to WordPress.com) this means that you need a hosting provider where you can install WordPress and activate SpeakerSumo. If you don’t have a hosting provider, we suggest .

If you are not confident with WordPress, we suggest 3 actions:

1. Watch the following videos: What is WordPress? – How to Install WordPress – The Dashboard and read the handy guides at WPBeginner. Everything you need to know about running a WordPress site is on the web. WordPress is an open-source software with a huge and helpful community of users. You will find answer to any concerns you may have.
2. Run a test installation with the default theme and give it a whirl. Play with it and get confident with different sections of the Dashboard.
3. Use WordPress Forums and Docs. Search the forums for your question, there will probably be an answer. If there isn’t don’t be afraid to ask, you will find WordPress community eager to help and friendly.

2. Getting Started With SpeakerSumo

We developed SpeakerSumo utilizing the core WordPress functionality as the basic foundation. It is designed to showcase professional speakers with great functionality and beautiful design.

Using SpeakerSumo you will be able to:

• Showcase your public speaker profile.

  • Show your event schedule.
  • Show testimonials
  • Show topic ideas
  • List books you’ve written
  • Show all your social media links: Email, RSS, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Linkedin, Pinterest etc.
  • And so much more…

You will be able to do all this and more by focusing on two different areas:

• SpeakerSumo Customization
• SpeakerSumo Dashboard Sections

But first things first, let’s install and activate SpeakerSumo .

3. Installing SpeakerSumo

To install and activate SpeakerSumo on your WordPress site, head over to Appearance-> Themes and click on the Add New button.

On the next screen, click on the Upload Theme button at the top.

Click on the Choose File button, locate the SpeakerSumo zip file, and then click the Install Now button.

The theme will take some time to upload. When finished, click on the Activate link to activate SpeakerSumo on your site.

If you need more information about installing and activating themes in WordPress, then please read this article.

These sections pertain to different content types showcased on your website. We will explain each section as required.

3.2 SpeakerSumo Customize Options

Head over to Showthemes->Theme Options. Here you will see different options to customize SpeakerSumo. We will show you how to use each of these options later in this guide

Back to top

4. Customizing SpeakerSumo

Now that you have installed SpeakerSumo, it is time to set it up to meet your needs. We always suggest to activate the theme on a fresh WordPress installation with no plugins and no previously populated content.

Please head over to Showthemes->Theme Options.

Let’s have a look at the available options. The Theme Options panel for the SpeakerSumo theme is divided into five sections:

• General Site Settings
• Social Networks
• Social API
• Contact
• Tools

We will walk you through each of these options. Don’t forget to click on Save Options (top-right) as you make changes.

4.1.1 General Site Settings-Logo

On the General Site Settings tab, the first option is to upload a logo for your site. You will see a button for uploading a logo. Click it. Browse the image logo and crop it as required and save the changes. Make sure your chosen image has the dimensions: 314 x 32 pixels.

4.1.2 General Site Settings – Choose a Font

4.5 General Site Settings – Generate Dummy Data (Tools)

The last tab on Theme Options screen is Tools. SpeakerSumo provides a function to populate the site with dummy content.

Please read this carefully. By clicking on the Import button; you will populate the whole site with dummy content. While this is great if you don’t know where to start, it is non-revertible. Therefore you will need to delete the unnecessary content generated. This can take quite some time. We suggest to populate with dummy content only if you are not sure about how WordPress works and want just to edit content and pictures. Note: Populating the site with dummy content does not exclude reading this guide as you may still need to refer to it to change the populated options.
