FAQ

What do I need to make this theme work?

You will need a self hosted site with WordPress installed. Need hosting? I’m in love with Bluehost and their easy, one-click WordPress install.


What size should my logo be?

Your header/logo size should be 880 × 260 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 880 x 260, but it will appear half the size at 440 x 130. This is because retina screens need double the size 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?

Your featured images need to be at least 1125 pixels wide and 1500 pixels long. All of your other images can be whatever size you wish, but I recommend at least 800px wide (the blog post width).


I don’t want a shop. Is that okay?

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


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 as soon as I can!

*Disclaimer: I do not provide support on how to make custom code changes to the theme, or other 3rd party plugins that weren’t recommended for the theme. I also don’t provide support for WooCommerce.


Can you install and set up the theme for me?

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

Another year in review, although I don’t think 9 Another year in review, although I don’t think 9 photos could quite sum up the extent of the impact that 2022 has had on my life and how much it’s changed me. 

Behind the smiles, bright colours and exotic locations, I spent a large portion of this year grieving. The loss of a love and the future I imagined with him, my estranged biological father, my life in South Africa when I left for Bali, an unrequited love and then the biggest loss of all: who I was before finding out I was going to be a mother. 

The thing about loss is that it also leads to growth. Besides the enormous amount of loss I’ve had to deal with this year, I’ve also learnt so much more about myself and grown in ways I’d never imagined possible:

Next year I’ll be celebrating my first Christmas as new mom with a 9 month old baby, continuing the festive traditions I grew up with and hopefully forming my own as a new little family of two. So on that note, a very Merry Christmas from The Bump (aka Frances, Frankie, Fran or Fox) and I 🎄
