This is a quick guide to getting started with MonoWP. If you need specific assistance, you can start a new topic (requires a www.ads-software.com account).

TEMPLATES
In addition to the standard templates, two other templates are provided, allowing you to build your own customised pages:

• Full Page allows you to build the internal content of the page, without showing the title, meta, and comments, thus showing only the header and footer provided.
• Canvas allows you to build the entire page, without showing the title, meta, and comments, as well as the header and footer provided.

You can apply these templates to your pages, as you would for any other template, via the settings sidebar, while editing/creating the page.

BOX SHADOWS
Background shadows can be applied to all blocks containing images, Group blocks, and Columns/Column blocks. In order to apply it on Button, Image, Columns, and Column blocks, you can set the shadow “Mono” under the Border & Shadow controls on the bottom end of the block settings sidebar panel (requires WordPress 6.5). While for all other blocks you can select the “Shadowed” block style variation in the block settings sidebar panel.

TEXT SHADOWS
Text shadows can be applied to all blocks containing titles, including Heading block, Quote/Pullquote blocks and Cite block. In order to apply it you can select the “Shadowed” block style variation in the block settings sidebar panel.

TEXT JUSTIFICATION
Paragraph block can be justified by select the “Justified” block style variation in the block settings sidebar panel. This will overwrite any current text alignment.

To the Separator block can be applied a wavy effect by select the “Waves” block style variation in the block settings sidebar panel.

With MonoWP Child Theme you can make your own deep customizations to MonoWP, without directly modifying its files, and still receive updates to MonoWP without losing those modifications. MonoWP Child Theme includes everything from MonoWP by default. This includes the design and any of its functionality.

You can learn more about child themes here.

HOW TO INSTALL

CUSTOMISATIONS
You have the option to overwrite any template, part, or pattern that exists in MonoWP by adding a file of the same name in MonoWP Child Theme (patterns must also have the same registered?slug?field). Of course, you can also add brand new templates, parts, and patterns to MonoWP Child Theme, even if they don’t exist in MonoWP.

You can also add your own custom code to theme.json, style.css and functions.php files, by going to Tools →?Theme File Editor.
