It is recommended to create the pages, even if they are blank pages, before creating a new menu. Next, go to Appearance > Menus, click the **Create a new menu ** button, type in a name for your menu and click on the Create Menu button. You can add pages to the menu by selecting them from the Pages box on the left. You can also use the Custom Links box to add pages by typing in the page URL and in the Label field the page’s name in the menu.
You can manage the menu structure by dragging and dropping pages in the menu box.

After you are happy with your menu, from the Manage Locations Tab, use the Main Menu select box to choose the new menu. Click the Save Changes button to record the changes.

CSS & JS Files
CSS Files: If you want to insert your own custom CSS code, you can use the Custom CSS field, located at Appearance > Customize > Custom Code > Custom CSS.
A theme update will overwrite all changes made. Insert all your custom CSS only in the Custom CSS field. It will override the all.css file and the changes will not be affected by an update.
Javascript Files: It is strongly recommended to avoid making any changes. If you consider you have the necessary knowledge and wish to edit them, we strongly recommend making a copy before.
If you want to insert your own custom JS code, you can use the Custom JS field, located at Appearance > Customize > Custom Code > Custom JS Code.
Child Theme
A great solution to keep all your customized options safe when updating is to create a child theme. In short, this is a WordPress theme, running alongside the original theme, with some customization overriding some original functions, without altering the original theme itself in any way.
You can create a child theme by uploading the leisure-child folder (unzip from download package) next to the leisure folder in the wp-themes folder.
Customizations made in the child theme folder will override the original theme. Files with the same names from the child folder will override the same files from the original theme. (ie. header.php in leisure-child will completely override header.php from leisure)
If you want to learn more about the child theme customization, please follow this link to read a comprehensible article.
Translating the Theme
The most comfortable and safe way to translate your theme is by using the popular WPML plugin. Install WPML Translation Plugin
If you choose to translate your theme without any translation plugin, the first thing you should do is to download and install Poedit. Alternatively, you can translate your theme without any external software, just by installing the Loco Translate Plugin.
The easiest way to translate your theme is by installing the Loco Translate plugin. Install and activate the plugin and then follow the instructions on how to translate the theme.
To translate the theme using Poedit you need to follow the next steps:
Open the en_EN.po in Poedit
Save as your new language. The filename of your .po is crucial. Gettext uses the ISO 639 standard for language abbreviations and ISO 3166 for locales. If your translation is written in American English for example, your file name will look like en-US.po. Capitalization is also important here. For a full list of language and country codes, check out these two links: Gettext language codes and Gettext country codes
Once you save, POEdit by default automatically creates a .mo file alongside your .po file. It is recommended to keep both files together.
Place the .mo and .po files in the languages folder located in the Leisure folder
The final step is to tell WordPress which translation file to use for your website. To do so you need to edit wp-config.php located in the root folder of your WordPress installation. When you open the wp-config.php file it should look like this:
/**
WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.
Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen
language must be installed to wp-content/languages. For example, install
de_DE.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de_DE' to enable German
language support.
*/
define('WPLANG', '');
Your file should already contain define(‘WPLANG’, "); but if it does not, you can add it in. You simply need to add your language and locale code into the define.If you were to translate your theme into German, you would have this:
define('WPLANG', 'de_DE');
