Thanks very much for sharing the articles. I have now restored a backup and followed all the steps to prevent it from happening again.

It looks awesome! Love your post on 50 Shades – totally agree ??

You just reminded me that I need to set up Link Within….I can’t do it from a Mac (I don’t think, anyway) so I will have to do it at work.

Sorry, I’m by no means an expert – the instructions above just worked for me. I would suggest joining the devpress forum if you still haven’t figured it out. It only costs $5 for one year’s access, and they are very good at answering questions quickly.

Haha thank you ?? I hope it helps! I just know how painful it was when I was trying to do it, so hopefully some other people can find this thread too. I’d love to see the finished product!

You will probably need help with that too! I think it’s a joke because they make you pay to be a member to find out how to do basic things with the theme. They have a documentation section in the website, which tells you how to add the slider. I spent days trying to figure it out on my own, so I wish someone had helped me! Here is how to do it:

Usage
The following steps will teach you how to achieve the structure of the Oxygen demo site. You will also learn the specifics of the theme, which aren’t really that much – it’s made to be as intuitive as possible.
Login to your WordPress admin panel and navigate to “Pages -> Add New”. Fill in a page title – ‘Home’ for example (doesn’t really matter) and then click the “Template” dropdown list. Select “Front Page” and then click the “Publish” button.
Go to “Settings -> Reading” and set the front page to display a static page – from the “Front Page” dropdown list select the title of the page we created in the previous step. In my case that was ‘Home’.
Start adding posts to your site from “Posts -> Add New”. Write title, text, images, video, etc. Choose category(-ies) and tags for the post. Then look at the bottom right panel and set a “Featured Image”. After all is done, there is just one final step – specific for this theme…
Just under the “Featured Image” box, there is another one – titled ”Location”. If it’s not there, then you need to enable it by clicking the “Screen Options” button (upper right corner) and checking “Location” – then it would appear. This is where you choose where the post should be displayed on the home page.

Select “Featured” if you want the post to be displayed in the featured content area – as a slide. The next three posts with the wide thumbnails are the “Primary” area. And the remaining 12 posts – presented by their title and metadata only, form the “Secondary” area. So make your choice by clicking one of the radio button and then “Publish” the post. Note: You can remove a post from the home page later – by editing the post and selecting the last option “Do not display”. It will remove the post from the home page (but only from the home page!).

Sure. For a great theme, they certainly don’t make it easy, I have to say!

Go to Appearance>Menus. The primary menu is the one that runs across the top. Scroll down and select the pages/categories you would like to feature in that menu, and then it does all the hard work for you! As you can see, I also added a side menu and a bottom menu.

I didn’t think it had anything to do with the theme itself though – surely it would be similar for most themes?

Yes, it seemed to fix itself, thankfully!
