 * Hello! I just loved this theme, so impressive. I’m just a beginner and creeping
   to build my website. I cannot edit the contents of breaking news neither put 
   the wonderful slider into my site. I’ll be very glad if you guide me how to do
   these two things.

 * Hello,
    Thank you for the appreciation about the theme,
 * For the breaking news content you will have to go to
    ** Dashboard => Appearance
   => Customize => Breaking News => Breaking News Setting
 * There you can see an option to select category, select a category that includes
   the post you require.
 * For the slider, you will have enable the slider section from
 * **Dashboard => Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Slider Section=>**
   Choose where you would want to display the slider from “
    Enable Slider Section
   on” section.
 * I hope this helped,
    Best regards.

 * Thanks for your response. I fixed the breaking news content but still have problem
   to fix the slider. As your suggestion, I enabled **Dashboard => Appearance =>
   Customize => Featured Slider => Slider Section=>** but couldn’t put sliders as
   my wish and also the right section after slider seems to be blank. I highly appreciate
   if you give me some time to guide me in brief.
 * Thank You

 * Hello,
    I am very happy that some of your queries were solved,
 * Since you have enabled the slider, now you will have to go to
    **Dashboard =>
   Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider =>Slider Type**
 * Then you will have to select slider type as featured category,
 * Then you will have to select the category, this will be the category that contains
   posts that displays their featured images in the slider
 * Finally you will have to assign the number of slides to show on the slider.
 * For the area besides the slider you will have to go to,
    **Dashboard => Appearance
   => Customize => Widgets=>Slider Right Widget Area**
 * Then you will have to add a widget, WordPress by default has many widgets, but
   except that the theme also provides you with their widgets like “Magzimum Special
   Posts”, “Magzimum Category News”, “Magzimum Social” etc.
 * You can add any widget you think is right for your website on that area,
 * I hope this helped,
    Best regards.
