    I'm new to all this and I know I can go into customize in the theme appearance, work within in the different sub categories in there and such, but I'm just not understanding why the navigation, the front page text, the first sample blog post that I added are. I published them all and added them in the customize section, but I'm not seeing anything. I am getting only new images on the home page under the initial image every time I add a "Front Page widget" (I have up to four that it allowed me to use), and the navigation customization area doesn't appear to do anything. To top it off, the front page text that originally appeared on my page when I published it disappeared after I added additional "Front Page" widgets, so now there are large images stacked on top of solid blocks of color that you can scroll through, but no text and I have no idea how to add it!

    When you log into MyStudioPress - http://my.studiopress.com/
    If you look next to the Café Pro theme, you will see a Download link and a Theme Setup Link.
    Open the Theme Setup.
    You will see:
    First Steps
    Pre-Installation Setup
    Child Theme Installation
    How To Import Demo Content
    I'm assuming you have done the first two, since I can see your site.
    Try importing the Demo Content. It will add everything like the theme. Then you can go through and edit it with your content and images. It's an extra step, but makes setting up a complex theme much easier.

    Follow through the Theme Setup Instructions step-by-step. Yes, it may take a bit longer, but you will have a beautiful site when you are finished.
    If you don't understand something, you can contact Support or post on this forum. But ask one question at a time.

    And the text, like on the Front Page, does go away as soon as you add a widget.
