    <p>Get timely updates from your favorite products</p>
    [mc4wp_form id="306"]

You just need to create a new menu (or edit your current menu) and add link to your social pages. Remember to assign it to **Footer Social** menu location. This menu will detect the correct icon from the URL. For example, if the URL contains "twitter.com" it will display the Twitter icon.

    - `image` - A single image, which will be shown above post title.
    - `video` - A single video, which can be any video from Youtube, Video or other video websites. Support URL or embed code. The video will be displayed above post title.

    Using post format in Sober lets you differentiate post from each other and make the blog page / single page looks more beautiful.

    When you edit a post, select a format you want to apply to that post on the **Format** meta box on the right. When you choose a format, a corresponding meta box will appear **below** the content editor, here's the list of them.

    All you need to do is just enter **all** information in the fields in these meta boxes. This information will be used to decorate the post. For example: gallery post format will uses uploaded images to show a slider above post title, a video post will display a video player above post title, etc.

    Portfolio
    =========

    From the version 1.1.0, Sober start supporting to manage and present your Portfolio. To have this feature, you have to ensure you are using at least version 1.2 of **Sober Addons** plugin. If you are using an older version, please see this [update Sober Addons guide](#faq-update-sober-addons) to update it.

    ## Enable Portfolio Support<a name="enable-portfolio"></a>

    If you are using the version 1.2 or newer of Sober Addons plugin, you can go to **Settings > Writing** to enable Portfolio support.

    ![Enable portfolio support](images/portfolio-enable.png)

    After you enable Portfolio support, you can see a new menu "Portfolio" on your admin. In this menu, you can manage your **projects** and **portfolio type**.

    ## Create Portfolio Page

    After you enable Portfolio support, you can view your portfolio in the link: `http://your_domain/portfolio`. But we recommend you to create a page for this to easier management in future. Please remember your portfolio URL will be that page's URL.

    1. Go to **Pages > Add New** to create a new page for your portfolio. Name it as "Portfolio" or whatever you want.
    1. Go to **Settings > Reading** to select Portfolio page.

    ## Control Portfolio Display

    Sober has options to help you control how your portfolio be present on the front-end. Please note that your [portfolio page](#toc-create-portfolio-page) will be used to present your projects. You don't need to add any content to that page.

    To control how to portfolio display, you can navigate to **Appearance > Customize > Portfolio**. In this panel, you will see two sections:

    - **Portfolio Page**: this section contains options to handle the portfolio page display.
    - **Project Page**: this section contains options to handle a single project display.

    Let's go through each section:

    ### Portfolio Page

    In this section you will see bellow options:

    - Portfolio Filter: enable or disable the project filter on the top of your portfolio.
    - Portfolio Style: select the style/layout of your portfolio. You can chose either Classic, Full Width or Masonry.

    ![Portfolio layouts](images/portfolio-layouts.png)

    With the _Masonry_ style, you will have new options on **Customize > Page Header** that allow you to select page header image for the portfolio page and select text color for that page header.

    Besides these options, there is an option in **Settings > Reading** that let you specify how many project will be show up per page. It is **Portfolio items show at most** option.

    - With **Classic** layout style: we recommend to show 9 items per page. Or you can use other values like 6, 12, 15, 18.
    - With **Full Width** layout style: we recommend to show 8 items per page. Or you can use other values like 16, 24.
    - With **Masonry** layout style: we recommend to show 6 items per page. Or you can use other values like 12, 18.

    Translation
    ===========

    **Tell WordPress which language file to use.**

    If you don’t use WordPress in your native language so far, you have to tell WordPress which language to use to activate the theme translation.

    You can do this by editing the wp-config.php file (the file is located in the main directory of your WordPress files) and defining the WPLANG constant. You have to set your language code there, for example fr_FR for French translation.

    ust add the line below to your wp-config.php or change it if it already exists:

    `define ('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');`

    ## Using Plugin

    The easiest way to translate your theme locally is by using the [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/) plugin. After you have installed and activated the plugin, simply go to `Loco Translate > Home` in the left-hand menu to start translating the theme from your WordPress backend.

    ## Using Poedit

    Poedit is a common program which you can use to translate the theme. It’s available for free on [poedit.net](http://www.poedit.net/).

    After you have installed Poedit, you can open it and select `File > New Catalog from POT file`. Then select the .pot file from the theme you wish to translate which you can find in the `/lang/` folder of theme.

    Then go through every line of text and translate it to your native language. Afterwards you can save the catalog with your language code (for example `es_ES.po`). Normally Poedit automatically creates the .mo file and saves it, too.

    The last step you have to do is to upload your created language files to the language folder of your theme using FTP.

    ------------------------------

    Child Theme
    ===========

    Sober is fully child theme compatible. We have attached a basic child theme to the download package which contains the minimum of required files. If you are planing any code customizations we highly recommend to do this inside the child theme! Learn more about child themes [here](http://codex.wordpresss.org/Child_Themes)
