College Education is an education theme for schools, colleges, coaching classes, kindergartens, universities and training centres. Out of the box it behaves like a standard blog. The designed homepage is a page template, so it only appears once you create a page and assign it — this is the step most people miss.

1. Set up the homepage

  1. Go to Pages → Add New and give the page a title (for example Home). Leave the content empty — the template supplies the layout.
  2. In the Page Attributes box, set Template to Full Width.
  3. Publish the page.
  4. Go to Settings → Reading, choose A static page, and set Homepage to the page you just created.

The template file is full-page.php if you ever need to find it.

2. Create a page for your posts

Still under Settings → Reading, set Posts page to a second empty page (for example Blog). Without this, your posts have nowhere to live once the homepage is static.

3. Fill in the homepage sections

Everything on the homepage is driven from Appearance → Customize. See Customizer Options for the full reference.

The homepage banner has 4 slider slots. Empty slots are skipped, so you can use as few as one.

4. Set your menu

Go to Appearance → Menus, create a menu, and assign it to a location:

  • Top Header Menu — the primary location.

5. Add widgets

Under Appearance → Widgets you will find these areas:

  • Main Sidebar
  • Footer 1
  • Footer 2
  • Footer 3
  • Footer 4

A note on demo content

College Education does not bundle a one-click demo importer. The homepage is assembled from Customizer settings and your own posts and images, so there is no demo database to import — fill in the sections and it takes shape as you go.
