🛠️ Theme Setup

Setting up Polar involves:

1. Installing the Theme: Extract the main downloaded zip file. After extracting, you will find a folder named similar to the theme name. This folder is the production-ready theme.
2. Uploading to Ghost: Make a zip of this folder's content (all files and folders within this folder) and upload it to your Ghost site.
3. Configuring Theme Options: Open the config.hbs file located in the partials folder with a plain text editor. Replace the variable's value with your own values, such as setting the Disqus shortname and API key.
4. Customizing Footer Widgets: The footer is widgetized. You can change the position or entirely remove any of them if you wish. To do that, make very little changes in the footer.hbs file located in the partials folder.
5. Adding Social Links: To add the actual social links to the icons in the footer, open the social-links.hbs file located in the partials folder. Replace the # for each href value with your own profile links.
