In reply to: WP themes not showing photos?Thanks for pointing me into right direction. It looks like good old step-by-step approach is once again the best thing to do.
I will definitely follow this support forum and hope to be able to contribute back in the near future.
Again, thanks for your time and patience with me 🙂 Have a great day!

In reply to: WP themes not showing photos?Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude and not reply to your questions. Yes, it looks like everything is working well. The style.css is loading correctly. I managed to delete that test data XML file which was causing a troubles to me (for some reason my main ‘Menu’ contained more than 20 items which overlapped and everything looked ugly). I also misunderstood that after I download any free theme that it will come with all the photos, icons, logos, fonts and other settings as it is shown in the theme demo. That’s obviously not the case.
For my second question I still haven’t figured out how to make visible those sections that are missing (question number 4 and 5), as well as the missing parts in my footer (question #7). I thought there would be an option in customizer to make this work, but it is not there. Do I need some plugin maybe?
As you can see I am really confused. I am reading a lot and trying to make everything work properly but as a WP is totally new to me I ask some silly questions. Making a website from a scratch by using HTML, CSS and some JQuery is much clearer in my mind because I know where everything is and how it works. But WP is somehow different. When I click on index.php page or any other .php file there is no classic HTML skeleton but just some PHP stuff instead.
There are too many WP tutorials so I am not sure which one to choose. Could you please recommend me one or two that are up to date and really good? For now I am just trying to learn how to customize some WP theem but my goal is to learn how to build a WP theme from scratch. Thanks again for your help. Appreciate it very much!

In reply to: WP themes not showing photos?Hi Ross! Thanks for your reply. Maybe everything is okay but I don’t know how to make it work. I downloaded Pinnacle theme but when I installed and activated it I miss some parts of the theme:
1. I don’t see the Menu items (Home, Portfolio, Contact us…) at all but there is a message ‘No menu assigned’ at the top right (inside the Menu)
2. The logo on top left (inside the Menu) is missing
3. The main header “PINNACLE A versatile, responsive WordPress theme.” is using a different font
4. The section below, which contains “Great Photography, Responsive Design, Tons of Options” is missing completely!?
5. The section which contains “Responsive design. Powerful Options.” and “Read more” button is also completely missing
6. The section with the latest posts is there but w/o photos (but I later managed to add some other photos by myself)
7. The footer is there but it only has one line of text “© 2015 Pinnacle – WordPress Theme by Kadence Themes” everything else is missing: footer logo, Follow us, Resources, Recent projects and the small menu at the bottom right.When I go to C://xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/pinaccle/assets/img I can see that most of the images, icons and logos that are shown on the theme link above are not downloaded at all into the img folder on my C disc (C://xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/pinaccle/assets/img). Maybe because of user rights as the link above is just a demo? Or not???
Am I supposed to see those free WP themes as they show up on the theme demos online in the same way when I install them or it is normal that most of the photos, logos, icons… etc. is missing???
This is very likely just a basic question but I would like to figure this out properly, so I can move on with learning WP. Thanks for your time and patience!
