Using this format, you can share your favorite music tracks with your audience in a fashionable way. Beware, however! This post format is not just another audio player with some text below!

Quote Post Format
Famous people provide famous quotes, and famous websites share them! The Quote Posts Format allows you to create beautiful quote posts that increase user engagement and are easily shareable. Having more shares for your content means having more visitors for your website.
Password Protected Post
While the default WordPress themes allow you to have password-protected posts, they do so in a dreadfully ugly way. Silicon Blogger, however, creates beautiful password-protected posts containing an elegant lock on each one of them. Details always matter, and your visitors will surely acknowledge your efforts for perfection.

Great theme. Thank you 🙂
Thanks 🙂
How do I install the slider for the front page? I installed Owl Carousel but I’m not sure how you all got it to show only on the front page as part of the header. Thanks!
Sorry, I figured out that if I add a featured image I get the posts on the front page. However, now I’m running into something different. The featured images are showing at the top of the posts they’re associated with. Also, the images on the front page are sizing differently from eachother. Can I control this?
Hello,
“The featured images are showing at the top of the posts they’re associated with. ” – Yes, that how it have to be and about images sizes: If you are use this theme with already existed content it will better to regenerate thumbnails, you can use that plugin.
How can I show the post slider at homepage?
Hello, it’s easy click edit post and in sidebar just before “Featured image” choose “Yes”, like that

Hello!
I just downloaded this and I cant seem to add my logo to the title of the site. It’s already added on the customization section and it does not appear.
Can you help me please?
Thank you
Make sure that you can use customizer with standard theme, if not, that means problem on your hosting
Two questions:
1. Is there a way to add a personalized footer?
2. The current date appears in the published line on my blog post. Is there any way to change it back to the published date. This seems to have happened after using “Regenerate Thumbnails.”
3. How do I show the social media buttons in the header?
Note: My site is not public yet. It’s still in “Coming Soon” mode.
Thanks for your help. Otherwise, this template is very nice!
