1. Unzip theme

2. Update pelicanconf.py:

   THEME = 'themes/pelican-attila-x'
   

The following settings can be added to pelicanconf.py in addition to the ones supported by Pelican (SITENAME, SITEURL, AUTHOR etc.,)

Path to website's logo relative to the content directory, for example images/logo.svg.

Metadata for authors. At a minimum, there should be a single entry corresponding to the website's AUTHOR, for example:

AUTHOR = 'Astro'

AUTHORS = {
  'Astro' : {
    'avatar': 'images/author_profile.svg',
    'website': 'https://example.com',
    'location': 'World',
    'bio': 'Astronaut · Writer',
    'twitter': 'https://twitter.com',
    'facebook': 'https://facebook.com',
    'github': 'https://github.com',
    'gitlab': 'https://gitlab.com',
    'mastodon': 'https://mastodon.social/',
    'cover_image': 'images/author.svg'
  }
}

Links to social media accounts for this website:

SOCIAL = (
    ('Twitter', 'https://twitter.com/'),
    ('Facebook', 'https://facebook.com/'),
    ('Mastodon', 'https://linuxrocks.online/')
)

Links to appear in site navigation:

MENUITEMS = (
    ('Home', '/'),
    ('About', '/about'),
)

Cover images to use in template pages. Keys correspond to template names.

COVER_IMAGES = {
    'index': 'images/rocket.svg',
    'authors': 'images/authors.svg',
    'archives': 'images/archives.svg',
    'categories': 'images/categories.svg',
    'period_archives': 'images/period_archives.svg',
    'tags': 'images/tags.svg',
    'category': {
        'blogging': 'images/blogging.svg'
        },
    'tag': {
        'pelican': 'images/blogging.svg'
    },
}

Use an alternate color for links:

COLORS = {
    'primary': '#e63946',
}

The following settings can be added to publishconf.py

If you use Commento for comments, uncomment this setting
