Lush FAQ

DISCLAIMER: This page contains some affiliate links, which means I receive commission if you make a purchase hosting using my affiliate link!

What do I need to make this theme work?

You will need a self hosted blog with WordPress installed. Need hosting? I’m in love with Bluehost and their easy, one-click WordPress install. To learn more on how to start a blog, visit my how to start a blog page.

While not all are required to make the theme work, I recommend installing the following plugins for full functionality:

  • Jetpack – for contact form, related posts section on single post page & subscribe by email
  • Genesis eNews Extended (if you’re using an email service like mailchimp)
  • Simple Social Icons
  • Genesis Simple Share
  • WooCommerce & Genesis Connect WooCommerce
  • Regenerate Thumbnails
  • Heart This
  • Instagram Slider

What size should my logo be?

Your header/logo size should be 950 × 300 pixels. You can upload your logo in the Customizer > Header Image. If you don’t have a logo yet, you can simply type in your blog name and it will match the default styling.

Note: You’ll need to upload a logo sized at 950 x 300, but it will appear half the size at 475 x 150. This is because retina screens need a double resolution to look crisp & pretty. While this logo area may appear to be a little small, it is optimized for placement on all screens, including mobile devices.


How large should my images be?

You’ll need to make sure that your featured images are at least 1100 x 745 pixels. All other images should be at least 1100 pixels wide.


How does the “read more” button work?

If you are using excerpts on the archive pages, blog page, or in the Featured Posts widget, the “Read More” button will appear automatically. You can turn off the Read More button on the blog page by going to Customize > Content Archives > choose Display Entry Content. You can also manually add the MORE tag wherever you want in the post when displaying full content.


Can I use the grid on the blog page?

Yes! Simply choose “Enable Grid Layout” when creating your blog page.


I don’t want a shop. Is that okay?

Totally! If you don’t want a shop, simply don’t install WooCommerce.


Do I need to have the home page widget areas? I just want the blog page to be the home page.

Nope! By default, the blog page IS the home page. The home page is widgetized and ONLY activated when widgets are placed inside the Home Top and Home Bottom areas. So remove any widgets from these areas if you just want to display the blog loop. If you want your blog page to be the home page, but you ONLY want the top and/or middle widget area to show, then simply don’t add anything to the “Home Bottom” widget area.


If I purchase, will you help me if i get stuck or have more questions?

I’m always happy to help! I’ve created tutorials on how to install & setup your new template. If you need more assistance, you can always email me and I’ll get back to you ASAP.


Can you install and set up the theme for me?

I’m your girl! Check out my service packages.

  • 7 years of a setting sun kind of love in you. It’s constant, faithful, secure, but ever changing in color and depth✨. I love you forever and always @dmrouth
  • Happy Friday Friends.✨Looking forward to our first full weekend home since December, where we will finally be able to take down the Christmas tree☺️. I know everyone else is well into their resolutions for the new year, but since we have been gone so much, February feels like my January and I have fully embraced that! Sharing my vision for 2021 personally and for my blog very soon, so keep your peeps open.✨✨✨
  • A collection of unedited sunsets from our Christmas in SoCal that I can’t stop dreaming about.✨Spending more time lately being thankful for the little things that inspire me. It’s always the little things ☺️. #nofilter #gratitude #neverstopexploring
  • Hello friends happy Monday! I’M BACK! And I’ve dusted off the ol’ blogging fingers to share a more personal look at what 2020 was for me.☺️ . I went through so much growth this past year personally (didn’t we all), and worked through old struggles of fear, and self doubt that surfaced from old childhood trauma. But I have come out stronger and more resolved to be the person I was created to be. . Opening up about that and a snap shot of the highs and lows of this past year on the blog. Link in bio to read
  • Challenge Accepted.✨To my fellow woman, you are beautiful because of... The abuse you endured that you do not let define you. The disease or condition you developed that you do not let control you. The scars you have from childbirth that you choose to see as a souvenir. The times you chose a kind word over a tearing down comment. The times you looked at her with admiration and did not question your own worth. The times you gave your body the care it needed instead of pouring from an empty cup. For the all times you loved when it
  • Now more than ever it remains my heart to support brands who stand for something, whether that be their ethics (how they treat people), sustainability (how they treat the earth), or ways that they choose to honor both through giving. ✨ . With that said I am elated to share this beauty of a watch with you by @nordgreenofficial who believes in “good health, a clean environment, and full education as a right for all.” With every watch purchased they give either 2 months of clean drinking water to one person in The Central African Republic, 1 month of education
  • Love is the driving force that promotes the deepest change. Love is what brings unity. Love changes us more than simply knowing something and acting on it. When you love someone you do everything you can to protect that person, see them grow, see them thrive. @rachel.cargle said it best when she said “action without empathy is simply performance”, and I believe empathy’s roots are in love. So I am praying, praying for greater love in my heart, and in every heart, a love that would drive us all to true sustained change and action on behalf of Black lives.
  • Standing with you #blackouttuesday
