- Copy all the files in the repository in a directory called "ubuntu-community" under the wp-content/themes/ directory.
- Enable the "Community theme for Ubuntu" theme from Appearance » Themes. If you are running multisite, you will need to network enable the theme first under Network Admin » Themes.
When the theme is set up, you might want to do the following things:
[Appearance » Menus]
It's highly recommended to add the front page as the first item for this menu
since there is no link to the main page visible by default.
[Settings » Reading]
Note: When you set a static page as the front page, its title will be hidden
by default. This is to ensure maximum flexibility to make the front page look
as you like. If you want to use a regular title on the front page, simply add
a "Heading 1" element to the beginning of the page.
