Hi, I just downloaded the theme. Seems great in the demo, but I'm really struggling to achieve anything like in the demo.

Can someone take me through an easy step by step guide to getting the speakers widget working on the homepage, and then the subsequent speakers page and individual speakers pages, like in the demo? I can't seem to figure it out myself! Would be greatly appreciated.

Also, how do I get my site to show the same font as in the demo? What font-family is this? Cheers!

On this page http://www.gavick.com/demo/wordpress/fest/?p=928
It says there should be a "Speakers" post type, and even a special tab where you can add speakers. I don't have these. Am I missing something?

Okay, nevermind. I figured out the widget for now at least! (I needed 6 speaker posts.)
Now I have another problem.

On my actual Speakers page (which lists all the speakers in their little bubble things), the 6 posts categorised as "Speakers" show up, but so does icons and links for EVERY other post. Regardless of what they are categorised as. Any help here please?

Hello,

It would be much easier with the quickstart package - you'll have exactly website as on our demo.

Rgarding your question, could you send me a PM with backend access to your website? Then I'll be able to check this issue exactly.

You mean from the download sections? I tried to upload the quickstart package as the theme originally, but it wouldn't upload and was taking hours via FTP transfer.
Are you able to tell me how to change the fonts to match the demo though?

I will create an admin login for you in a sec.

Yes, quickstart from the download section, here is a tutorial:

Of course you can also configure your theme manually, following this page:

Check Fonts configuration, you can also import theme settings (fonts, layouts, features, and other settings from Fest -> Template Options), please check this article:

Thanks for all the help.

Now, is there any way I can change the title from "Speakers" to Artists. Specifically on the Speakers page.

Yes, please go to Speakers -> Categories, select "Speakers" category and change name to Artists (levae slug "speakers") that's all.
