I don't see the Featured Content menu in my customizer, where can I find it?

To make the Featured Content menu appear in your customizer, you need to install the Jetpack plugin because it has the required code needed to make featured content work for the Gazette theme.

Once Jetpack is active, the Featured Content menu will appear in your customizer. No special Jetpack module is needed and a WordPress.com connection is not required for the Featured Content feature to function. Featured Content will work on a localhost installation of WordPress if you add this line to wp-config.php:

define( 'JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG', TRUE );

Where can I add widgets?

Gazette offers two widget areas, which can be configured in Appearance → Widgets:

  • An optional sidebar widget area, which appears on the right.
  • An optional footer widget area.
