<h1>Getting Started with Evo</h1>
<p class="intro">Evo is a flexible, beautiful showcase-style WordPress theme with a very flexible layout, the ability to change thumbnail sizes, post videos, and more!</p>

<a href="#install">Skip to Installation Instructions</a>

<h2>Features</h2>
<p>Evo offers some robust but easy-to-use features:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <h3>Three Beautiful Color Schemes</h3>
    <p>In addition to the default light theme, there are two additional color schemes as well, which can be enabled on the Evo Colors & Images Options page.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <h3>User Submission Page</h3>
    <p>By popular demand, Evo includes a submission page that can be customized to fit your needs inside the UpThemes Framework on the Submission Form options page.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <h3>AJAX Page Loading</h3>
    <p>Evo uses a custom twitter-style pagination to allow you to continue loading new posts into the page without being taken to a new page.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <h3>WordPress 3.0 Menu Support</h3>
    <p>Custom menus allow you to configure your navigation the way you want it! Evo features two menu zones in the header and footer, as well as unlimited widget menus.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <h3>Simple Video Embedding</h3>
    <p>Easy video embedding using the Simple Video Embedder plugin from Press75.com makes video embedding easier than ever. Requires installation of Simple Video Embedder plugin, download separately.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <h3>Resizable Thumbnails using WordPress 3's Featured Image</h3>
    <p>Thumbnail sizes are completely under your control! Just set your desired image sizes in 'Settings > Media' and setting the medium size image to the desired width and a height of 9999 (for images of various heights).</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <h3>Ad Zones Built-in</h3>
    <p>There are now two ad zones that accept plain HTML and Javascript below the header and above the footer.</p>
  </li>
</ul>

<h2><a id="install"></a>Installing Evo</h2>

<ol>	
	<li>In WordPress' admin panel, go to 'Themes > Install Themes > Upload ' and browse to the Evo ZIP file.</li>
    <li>Click the 'Install Now' button.</li>	
	<li>Once installed, visit the UpThemes Framework theme options page and set up the various options you require.</li>
	<li>After that's done, go to <em>Settings</em> > <em>Reading</em> and set "Blog pages to show at most" to a number that makes your images end at the end of the last row of thumbails. For three across, I recommend 12 or 15, for 4 across, 12 or 16.</li>
</ol>

<h3>Install Plugins</h3>

<p>Optionally, you should install the following plugins to really make your installation of Evo awesome.</p>

<ul>
	<li><a href="http://www.press75.com/the-simple-video-embedder-wordpress-plugin/">Simple Video Embedder</a></li>
	<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-likes/">WP Likes</a></li>
</ul>

<h2>Additional Instructions</h2>

<h3>Adding Gallery Items</h3>
<p>To add gallery items, all you need to do is create a new post, upload an image of any size, select a category, and publish the post. <strong>DO NOT insert the image into the body of your post.</strong> This will result in an image on the right side of the page. If this is what you want, then ignore this warning. To create a lightbox image slider for the post, simply add multiple images to the post. Again, you do not need to post the image in the body of your post for Evo to do its thing.</p>

<h4>Using Widgets</h4>
<ol>
	<li>Go to Widgets.</li>
	<li>On the right side, there will be a set of widget zones for Index, Single, and Page. This allows you to add widgets to different sections of your site</li>
	<li>From the list of widgets, select a Text widget and drag it over to the zone you want the ads to be shown in.</li>
	<li>Enter the ad code into the textbox and save it.</li>
</ol>

<h3>Adding Advertisements to your Site</h3>

<h4>Using the Built-In Header and Footer ad zones (recommended)</h4>
<ol>
	<li>Go to the UpThemes Framework Ad Manager.</li>
	<li>Enter the HTML or Javascript from your ad company into the Ads Below Header or Ads Below Footer area.</li>
	<li>Click Save changes.</li>
</ol>

<h3>Using Videos in Posts</h3>
<p>Evo works with the <a href="http://www.press75.com">Simple Video Embedder</a> plugin from Press75.com.</p>
<ol>
	<li>Install and activate the Simple Video Embedder plugin.</li>
	<li>Go to the Video Options (on the left under Settings) page and set them to a default width of 500 and height of 306.</li>
	<li>On the post page, simply enter the URL of the video into the Video URL box (in the Post Video Options widget).</li>
	<li>Click Update Post.</li>
</ol>

evo-theme's Issues

Default thumbnail handling does not work properly

Default thumbnail output calls $width and $height, which are undefined. These need to be defined using get_option( 'thumbnail_size_w' ) and get_option( 'thumbnail_size_h' ), respectively.

Forum Issue: Photos disappear in IE9

From the forums: https://upthemes.com/support/topic/photos-dont-show-up/

Fatal Error: undefined function rss()

Referenced in functions.php, in rssfeed() callback hooked into wp_head(). Function name updated in Framework, but not updated in Theme. Should be upfw_rss().

jQuery jFlow Appears Not To Be Working

See demo:
http://demos.upthemes.com/evo/2008/06/10/post-format-test-gallery/

I assume that the images should be scrolling, and the navigation should be styled?

Clicking the navigation links works, but auto-scrolling does not.

Also: we should add a custom image size for these images. Overly large full-size images kinda break the layout. (I suppose it's possible that this is related to the slider not working properly?)

Custom Image Size Handling

Investigate whether Theme should implement custom image sizes via add_image_size(), rather than relying on modifying core thumbnail/medium/large image sizes via Dashboard -> Settings -> Media.
