Blocksy - Introduction (Start Here)
Welcome to the Blocksy Documentation Hub for your Empress Made theme! We are SO excited that you're here. Are you ready to get your new theme set up on your website!? We can't wait to see what you create! Let's get started.
In this article, we'll introduce you to Blocksy, guide you toward lots of helpful resources, and teach you how to navigate our documentation.
What is Blocksy?
Blocksy is a fast, modern WordPress theme framework built for flexibility and customization. With its powerful block-based system, you can visually adjust every part of your website, including layout, typography, colors, and more, without writing a single line of code.
Blocksy is free to use, with no required upgrades. A Pro version is available and adds advanced functionality, but those premium features aren’t necessary for creating the beautiful designs shown in our theme demos.
You can learn more about Blocksy on the Blocksy website.
How to Navigate Our Documentation
The Blocksy Documentation Hub contains three main categories:
1. Getting Started – We recommend starting here first. In this section, you'll be introduced to Blocksy. You will learn how to install the theme you purchased on your website, as well as how to use the elementor block collection included in your theme.
2. Theme Setup – This section goes over how to set up various theme areas, such as social icons, navigation menus, footer, and more.
3. Blocksy + Elementor – In this section, we'll teach you how to customize your theme. This includes customizing your homepage and other pages, adding your own images, modifying the header layout, and more.
4.There is also a section for each specific theme (e.g. Fiora Theme) which contains tutorials that are specific to each individual theme.
Blocksy Support Center
In addition to all of the documentation and tutorials here in the Empress Made Support Center, you also have access to a fantastic library of tutorials in the Blocksy Support Center. We recommend checking out their Documentation and Video Tutorial sections.
