== Description ==
Cover2 is a content-driven blogging theme for WordPress. Built on top of Automattic’s Underscores, Cover2 allows you to focus on your writing. There are no sidebars to mess with, just a single column view of your content.
== Features ==
= Full-width featured images =
When you use a featured image, it displays as a full-screen background image behind the title.
= Put widgets in their place =
Cover2 puts your content first, exactly where it should be. But that doesn't mean you can't have widgets and menus, and that's where the overlay comes in.
The overlay is a full-screen menu and widget display. You can define one menus and as many widgets as your little heart desires.
Additionally, there are three footer widget positions, which collapse to a single column on small screens.
= Accent Color and Overlay Color Scheme =
Customize Cover2's header color and overlay color scheme in the Customizer. Live preview shows you exactly what it'll look like before hitting Publish!
== Recommended Plugins ==
= Jetpack =
Automattic's Jetpack plugin comes packed with modules for any theme to use, but Cover2 is designed to work nicely with these:
- Site Logo
In the Customizer, you can not only set the site title and tagline, but also a site logo. You can enable and disable any combination of these three options.
- Featured Posts
In the Customizer, you'll find the option to assign a specific tag to featured posts (the default is "featured"). Tagging a post will give it a special place on your blog's home page: it's displayed larger than the normal post listing, with its featured image displayed prominently behind it. If you have tagged more than one featured post, Cover2 will display them in a slider.
- Infinite Scroll
The Infinite Scroll module already works just fine, and we're not messing with that. :)
= Aesop Story Engine =
Cover2 was built from the ground up with Aesop Story Engine in mind. Break out of the content area with full-width components like images, galleries, maps, and more.
== Installation ==
= GitHub =
You can download the latest from GitHub. Follow these steps to activate Cover2:
1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/peiche/cover2/releases/latest).
2. In your admin panel, go to **Appearance > Themes** and click the **Add New** button.
3. Click **Upload** and **Choose File**, then select the theme's zip file. Click **Install Now**.
4. Click **Activate**.
== FAQ ==
1. How do I set the background image behind the post title?
When you use a featured image in Cover2, it displays as a full-screen background image behind the title.
2. Can I change the font size?
Cover2 does not allow you to change the default font size. I recommend creating a child theme before making changes to the theme.
3. I am receiving an error in the Customizer, what should I do?
Disable any caching plugins that you may have activated.
4. How do I make links look like buttons?
A normal like looks like this:
<a href="https://wordpress.org">WordPress</a>
To make the link look like a gray button, add the `button` class, like this:
<a href="https://wordpress.org" class="button">WordPress</a>
To make the link look like a button with the same link color as defined in the Customizer, add the optional `default` class, like this:
<a href="https://wordpress.org" class="button default">WordPress</a>
