How to Get Started with the Podcast Starter Sites
We recommend installing any Starter Site on a fresh WordPress installation. If you decide to install it on an existing site, your settings will be overwritten.
To get started, Go to Appearance > GeneratePress. Make sure the Site Library is activated.
Next, click the link to go to the Site Library.
Choose Podcast, Space or Spirit from the Site Library by clicking on the thumbnail.
Then click “Get Started,” confirming the site you’ll be importing.
Once you’ve done this, click “View Site” to see your new site! You can then edit each page within the site editor and customize colors and fonts to match your brand within the Customizer.
GeneratePress Makes Professional Sites Easy for Any Podcast Site
With a few easy steps, both professional web developers and small podcasters building their own sites can enjoy all the benefits of a professionally designed website.
Where many other page builders and development tools require presentation logic on the site’s front end, GeneratePress does all of the heavy lifting behind the scenes. When you edit your site’s content and layout on the backend, GeneratePress creates all of the end-result code necessary to display your site on the front end of your site.
For site visitors, 100% of the code is compiled and ready to go. Even with zero coding knowledge, GenerateBlocks puts the power of professional-grade code into your hands.
The result is the fastest and most performant experience available for even the most high-traffic podcast sites. Your site visitors get blazingly fast results every time.
