WordPress page setup

Go into Wordpress Admin and create a new page.
Enter the Page Title that you what the header tab to be named (ex. “Photos”).
For the Parent Page make sure Main Page (no parent) is selected
For the Page Template assign the newly created template with the name FAlbum Page template.
The page slug can be assigned to ex. “photos-main” (It should not be the same value you used in falbum configuration for the URL root value).

Then go and run the new page.
You should see a page_id value displayed on the page. You will then need to edit the wordpress\wp-content\themes\connections\falbum.php file again and change the page_id value from null to the number shown.

Example

Old:

$page_id = null; //Change this to match your sites WP page id of new Photos page

New:

$page_id = 2; //Change this to match your sites WP page id of new Photos page
