Quick Start Guide

Tirenoa adds its own menu to the WordPress admin area. Almost everything you do with the site starts there: site-wide settings, the header and footer, forms, saved content and maintenance tools.

This guide shows where things are and how the main parts fit together. Tiaro installs and sets up Tirenoa for you, so you usually start with a working site and only need to find your way around.

The Tirenoa Menu

Click Tirenoa in the WordPress sidebar to open the dashboard. The same screens are also reachable from the menu bar at the top of every Tirenoa screen. Which entries you see depends on your user role and on the features that are switched on.

Global Options

Open Tirenoa › Options. Global Options hold everything that applies to the whole site. The sidebar groups them: Site, Design, Navigation, Content, Media & Social, Privacy & Security, Email, SEO & Performance and Advanced.

Start with Colors and Typography in the Design group. Elements use these values by default, so one change there updates the whole site. Click Save Changes when you are done.

Note: Reset Section and Reset All put options back to their defaults. Use them with care on a finished site.

Create A Page With The Builder

Go to Pages › Add New and enter a title.
Click Live Builder to edit the page as visitors will see it, or Back-end Builder to build it inside the admin area.
Add a container, choose its columns, and add elements such as text, images or buttons to the columns.
In the Live Builder, use the Preview and Responsive controls in the toolbar to check the page on desktop, tablet and phone.
Click Save. The toolbar also lets you set the page to Publish or Draft.

The Live Builder button in the top bar of the Tirenoa dashboard opens the home page in the Builder. Inside the Live Builder, the Support menu in the toolbar lists the keyboard Shortcuts.

Header And Footer Through Layouts

Header and footer are not set in Global Options. They are Layout Sections that you build with the Builder, like a page, and assign in a layout.

Open Tirenoa › Layouts. The Global Layout applies to every page of the site.
Click the area you want to change: Header, Page Title Bar, Content or Footer. Create a new Layout Section there or choose an existing one.
Edit the section with the Builder and save it.
To give some pages a different header or footer, enter a name and click Create New Layout, assign its sections, then click the cog icon to set the conditions that decide which pages use it.

All sections are listed under Tirenoa › Layout Sections, where you can also create one directly with Create New Layout Section.

When You Need Help

Tiaro is your support contact. If something does not work, open Tirenoa › System Status, click Get System Report and then Copy For Support, and send the report along with a description of the problem.
