Rania Demo 3
Use the guide below to mirror Rania Demo 3. Remember, your theme may look a little different, depending on whether you integrate customized colors and fonts, how many posts you've published, and the images you've uploaded to your media library, posts, and pages.
Each large heading section below corresponds to one of the main tabs in the Customizer. To access the Customizer, from your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Customize. Look for the Site Identity tab, which is the first section in our guide below. Continue on to note the sub-tabs and various sections within each parent tab. If you work your way down the Customizer tabs and follow the guide below, you should cover the bases!
Need a little help visualizing? For a visual of how our Help Desk Demo Guide headings correspond with tabs in the customizer, please review this article.
Happy customizing!

MENUS
Menus may be highly variable based on your specific website and content needs. We've outlined how we structured our menus in this demo below, to give you an idea of how you could set yours up similarly. Keep in mind that while you can name a menu anything you wish, you must also assign menus to a menu location. The table below shows you what menus we assigned to which location. The link list in the second column will help guide you in terms of which menu in the demo corresponds to which location.
| Menu Location: | Link List in theme (for guidance on where menu appears): |
| Primary | Style, Grid Plugin, Boutiques Plugin, Pop Up Plugin, Buy |
| Top Left | Home, About, Contact |
| Top Right | Subscribe, Pop Up Plugin, Shop |
| Footer | Home, About, Contact, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Copyright Year |
