A live version of this help file can be found here.
Once you’ve activated Paperback, you’ll be forwarded to the Getting Started page (Appearance → Getting Started). Here, you can view the help file, browse frequently asked questions, and activate your theme’s license to enable Typekit fonts and theme updates.

We strongly recommend that you add your theme’s license key in the Getting Started page. By adding your key, you activate the beautiful Typekit fonts we’ve added for you as well as seamless theme updates. With theme updates enabled, you’ll get a notification in your dashboard whenever there is an update available. You can then update right in your WordPress dashboard, keeping your site healthy and secure.
You can find your theme’s license key by signing in to your Array dashboard and visiting the Downloads page. Click the Manage License link on your theme to view the license key. Copy this key and enter it into the sidebar of your Getting Started page and click the Activate License button. Your license key should now be active!
Jetpack is a free WordPress plugin that provides various features and enhancements to your WordPress site. Paperback utilizes several features of Jetpack, most importantly the Portfolio, and must be installed to get the most out of your theme.
Once installed, activated, and connected to WordPress.com, you can visit the Jetpack settings page, which is now available at the top of your admin menu. You will need to activate the following Jetpack features by clicking Settings tab at the top of the page, and clicking the Activate link next to each feature. For the best performance, we recommend deactivating all Jetpack features by default and only activating the ones you want.

Paperback is customizable via the WordPress customizer. Here, you can change the theme’s options and add widgets to your sidebar. To access the theme customizer, click Appearance → Customize in the WordPress admin menu.
Theme Options → General Settings
Featured Post Header
These settings will help you customize the Featured Post Header seen on the homepage of your site.
Colors
Paperback includes 6 dynamic color schemes that are very easy to tweak and customize. Using the Base Color Scheme drop down, you can choose whatever color suits you, or even stick with the default and customize individual elements. Use the handful of color pickers and their descriptions to tweak the colors on your site live. When you’ve got something you like, make sure to click the Save & Publish button.
We’ve also included a Custom CSS box for additional style tweaks. Use this setting to add minor CSS edits. If you plan on making several CSS edits, you should create a child theme to ensure your edits are safely stored when the theme is updated.
Site Title, Tagline & Logo

Paperback includes four menu locations: Primary, Secondary, Social and Footer.
Create a social icon menu in your header to let visitors know where to find you.
Paperback is best used when paired with great content and beautiful photography. This theme takes advantage of WordPress’s built in galleries as well as some extra galleries provided by the Jetpack plugin (see above for installation). Enable the extra Tiled Galleries and Carousel by going to Jetpack → Settings. Once you’ve done that, you’ll notice you have a few new gallery types available when creating a gallery.
The gallery most used throughout the Paperback demo is Tiled Mosaic. This gallery generates a unique layout based on your image order and orientation. The effect is a nice, neat dynamic grid. Arranging your images can change the layout, so feel free to move your images around to get the layout you want. You can also choose to randomize your images to generate a unique layout upon each viewing.
If you enabled the Carousel feature in Jetpack, the images in your gallery will open in a lightbox for larger viewing.
Paperback uses Jetpack’s contact form feature for adding contact forms to your pages.
There are two widget areas in Paperback. One in the sidebar of posts and pages and another in the footer area. You can mix and match widgets to either of these areas, styles are provided for both.
Using the Simple Image Widget plugin, you can easily add an image with a customizable link and link text. Once activated, you’ll have a new Image widget available on your widget page. Drag this widget to the sidebar and continue to fill out the required content.
Paperback comes with three different layout styles. You can choose from one column with a sidebar, two column with a sidebar, or three columns without a sidebar. The three column layout is for users who would rather utilize the screen space for more content.
You can select which layout you’d like to use by visiting Appearance → Customize → Theme Options → General Settings.

Paperback comes with elegant drop caps, text highlight, and pull quote styles for more expressive typography. Each require the use of the Text tab in your post editor, but fear not, they are simple to add!
Drop Cap
A drop cap is a large capital letter at the beginning of a text block that has the depth of two or more lines of regular text. See how we’ve used dropcaps on the Paperback demo.
To create a dropcap you need to switch over to the text view of your post editor and wrap the first letter of your paragraph in a span with the class dropcap. See an example below.
<span class="dropcap">T</span>his is how you dropcap.
Text Highlight
Text highlight simply adds a yellow background to your text, useful for in-paragraph emphasis. To highlight text, you need to switch over to the text view of your post editor and wrap your text in a span with the class highlight. See an example below:
<span class="highlight">This text will be highlighted.</span>
Pull Quotes
Pull quotes are similar to block quotes, but are reserved for less text. See Paperback’s Style Guide to see the suggested usage. To use a pull quote, you need to switch over to the text view of your post editor and wrap your text in a span with the class pull-left or pull-right. See an example below:
<span class="pull-left">This text will be pulled left.</span>
<span class="pull-right">This text will be pulled right.</span>
