Getting Started with Pegasus

Note

If we built your site, Pegasus is already installed and set up. You can skip straight to Your first steps.

Installation

Pegasus is installed like any other WordPress theme, with one important rule: the theme folder must be named exactly pegasus.

Upload through the Dashboard

1. Download the theme ZIP from the Pegasus GitHub repo.
2. Rename the extracted folder from pegasus-master to pegasus.
3. In WordPress, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
4. Upload the renamed pegasus theme, then click Activate.

For developers: Git

cd wp-content/themes
git clone https://github.com/Visionquest-Development/pegasus.git pegasus
git clone https://github.com/Visionquest-Development/pegasus-child.git pegasus-child

The child theme (pegasus-child) installs the same way. Activate the child theme so your customizations are kept safe. See The Child Theme.

Plugins

• Recommended plugins: Pegasus may show a notice recommending plugins. Install them from Appearance → Install Plugins.
• Pegasus plugins (sliders, tabs, etc.) are installed one at a time, only as needed. See Shortcodes and Components.

Your first steps

1. Pegasus Options → Logo: upload your logo. If you leave it empty, your Site Title (Settings → General) is shown instead.
2. Pegasus Options → Favicon: the small icon in the browser tab.
3. Pegasus Options → Header Options → Header Select: pick one of the five header layouts.
4. Appearance → Menus: build your menu and check Primary Menu as its display location. See Menus and Social Icons.
5. Pegasus Options → Footer Widget Areas: choose how many footer columns you want (None to Four).
