Caribou has possibly the most versatile navigation system of any WordPress theme. It’s simple to use, but there are a few things to learn first.
You have a navigation bar that can be switched on or off, and with various selectable options. Then there’s a footer into which page links can be placed, and a set of tabs along the top right of the page. All in all, a lot of power. The screencast below will help you to see these navigation options in use.
When you want a front page to be a complete section like in the Caribou demo, you need to define a section called something like ‘Home’. You do this by writing a new page, setting the Page Template to be a Section layout, setting the appropriate navigation options and saving. You then need to set options in Settings | Reading, which will allow you to define this page as your site’s front page. To see how it’s done, follow the instructions in the screencast below.
Our Caribou Theme has introduced the concept of Sections to WordPress. To learn how to create these Sections we’ve created the following screencast. Audio track coming soon.
