Unnao is a magazine/news responsive blogger theme which gracefully adapts to mobile devices to make sure your customer finds you on the go. Follow this guide to install Unnao Theme on your blog and make the required changes.
Before we start the installtion process, download the theme from ThemeForest and unzip it.
Installing this blogger theme requires you to follow two simple step.
An alternate way to install the theme is to first remove all the widgets from Layout, then go to Theme > Click the arrow beside Customize > choose Restore > then simply upload unnao.xml file. The problem with this method is that sometimes widgets are put in wrong places after upload. You then have to go to Layout and rearrange them. So, the recommemded method is to follow the two step guide mentioned above.
Once you have uploaded the theme, here's a list of points to remember -
1) If you want to hide a widget for some time, instead of removing it, open the widget and turn off the option named Show this widget
2) Go to Settings > Under Site feed > Make sure Allow blog feed is set to Full
3) Some widgets do not need Title text, so if widget title is showing in some inappropriate place, simply open the widget and remove Post Title. Just leave it blank.
4) Go to Theme > Click the arrow beside Customize > In Mobile Setting, make sure Desktop is selected.
5) If your blog is new, Popular posts widget will take some time to appear so don't worry.
6) Go to https://www.blogger.com/edit-profile.g and make sure 'Show my profile page' is ticked and your name and image is present. Also fill in some text in Introduction box. Author profile below post won't appear if Introduction is empty.
7) For fetching thumbnail for custom widgets, this is the preferance images uploaded on blogger> video thumbnail> 3rd party images> placeholder image
8) It is highly recommended to use images uploaded on blogger for your blog. We compress them using webp format and resize them to appropriate size that helps load your blog faster. 3rd party images can also sometime cause thumbnail issue.
Go to Theme > Customize > Advanced > Blog Header > Srcoll to find the option named Header Box Height > Change it's value.
Finally click the Save icon on the bottom right corner.
Go to Theme > Customize > Advanced > Blog Header > here you will find all the colors to change
See section (Q) Theme Options to show background Image in the header section.
Go to Layout, click on the edit link on Header widget to open it.
Replace Blog Title and Description with your own.
If you want to use an image logo, simply upload the image using Upload image from computer option and then choose the option Instead of title and description for Image Placement.
Finally press the Save button.
Click on the edit link on Menu widget. A dialog box will open up with list of menu items and options to add/remove/edit them.
Click the pencil icon to edit a menu item. Use arrow to move a menu item up or down.
To add a new item, scroll to the bottom and click ADD A NEW ITEM. A new dialog box will open with Page Name and Page Url option. Type menu name in Page Name and your menu link in Page Url and then click the save button.
Let's understand how menu and submenu works.
Setting up first level menu is pretty easy. Simply click ADD A NEW ITEM and add your menu name and url. Then keep repeating it to adding more items.
Once you have all the items you need, simply click the Save button at the bottom.
To add a submenu, simply add an underscore (_) before the menu name. Then use arrows to put it below it's parent.
Adding mega menu item is same as Submenu but instead of underscore(_), we use hash (#).
To add sub sub menu inside your submenu item, use double underscore (__). Then use arrows to put it below it's parent.
Note that here the parent has to be a submnu item which is represented by an underscore in the beggining.
If you want your menu to stick to the top as you scroll down, change Menu widget Title to Sticky
To revert it back to normal, simply change Menu widget Title to Normal
Open Header Button widget and you will see this code inside widget's content box.
Open Header Alert widget and switch on the Show this widget option.
Replace widget Title with your text and add a link using 'Add a New Item' if you need it.
If you want to customize it further, you need to replace the current widget with HTML/JavaScript widget. Here's how to do it -
First remove current widget, then click 'Add a Gadget' link and choose 'HTML/JavaScript', then keep the widget Title empty and paste your html code inside Content area.
You can generate HTML code using post editor. Simply create new post, add text, link, etc.. then switch to HTML View by clicking the pencil icon in the toolbar. Finally copy the code inside HTML view. Paste this in your widget content box.
Go to Layout> Click the 'Edit' link to open the widget> turn on 'Show this widget' option> Click the Save button.
To add italic style to the title, simply wrap the text with italic tag. Like this - Cutting Tech
So, Exclusive Cutting Tech News becomes Exclusive Cutting Tech Tech News
You can change italic text color using Theme Designer. Go to Theme> Customize> Advanced> Blog Info
Open the Featured Posts widget, inside the content area you will find the below code -
Let's understand why we need featured_remove_label option.
Say you didn't change any thing in the above script, then latest 5 posts with label featured will show up. But mosts posts will show featured as a label above post title because blogger lists labels alphabetically.
So, what this option does is tells the script, if the first label is named featured, then show the second label name. This way you don't end up with having mosts posts with same label name in featured section.
In a nutshell, it can be any label name that you don't want to shown in featured section.
Open the Discover widget inside Homepage_Sections. You will find code in this format -
Go to Layout and inside Homepage_Section add the Label widget. Make sure Display option is set to Cloud
Click Add a Gadget inside Homepage_Sections, then choose HTML/JavaScript, inside Title type your section title and inside Content paste the below code -
lists of label names seperated by a comma. For the first tab that is named all, 4 latest posts that have any of the above mentioned label will be displayed. On click the label tab, only posts with that exact label name will be displayed.
If you show only one label name
If you want to show date below post title, change false to true
Choose the color scheme for each individual post section. It has three options - blue, red, green and black
If you choose black theme, you can customize it to any color you want using Theme> Customize> Advanced> Homepage Section Type1
Show/hide previous and next arrows. By default it is true, if you want to hide the arrows, change it to false
Add text below widget title
Click Add a Gadget inside Homepage_Sections, then choose HTML/JavaScript, in content box paste the below code -
Here data-tags do not create tabs. But they work the same as type1 in fetching posts. If you add multiple labels seperated by a comma, latest posts with any of the above mentioned labels will be displayed. You are not limited to just one label. You can pull posts from multiple labels.
There is only one theme for now named black but you can change all it's color to anything you want using Theme > Customize > Advanced > Homepage Section Type2
and works the same as posts section type1
This section does not have subtitle option.
This is default featured posts widget by blogger. You can add it anywhere inside Homepage_Sections
Simply click + Add a Gadget and choose Featured Post
Just make sure all three options Show post title and Show text snippet and show image are ticked. Then simply pick which post you like to display from list of all the posts.

Left footer by default has two widgets. First one is an Image widget, which you can use to add your blog logo or anything you like. Second one is Text widget you can use for adding description. You can add more widget and see for yourself if it looks good.
This is the area where we have added link lists. By default, we have added four Link List widgets. Open them and add/remove/modify as you like.

Second floats to the right which contains code for social media icons.
Open Social Icon widget, inside content, you will find code in this format -
Replace # with link to your social media profile, icon name with social media name like facebook, twitter, etc and SVG CODE with icon code from here - https://icons.getbootstrap.com/
To get icon code, simply click on any icon then copy the svg code from Copy HTML section
For example -
Below the search input box, we have two widget. First is the Label widget that you can find under Search_Tags section in Layout, which displays selected labels.
Second widget is Popular Posts widget which you find find inside Search_Posts section. Go to Layout> Open Blog Posts widget> Make sure items are arranged like the below screenshot
Table of Content automatically appears on top of the post. It will select h2, h3 tags as heading and subheading. If h2 tag is not present in the post, then it will use h3 and h4 as heading and sub heading. So, you don't have to worry about using specific heading tag.
If you want to hide the Table of Contents section, see (Q) Theme Options
Instead of top, if you want to show Table of Content somewhere else inside the post, you just have to insert this code
To add any code inside post, first type your first name or any unique name in your post where you want to add your code, then click the first option i.e pencil icon in the toolbar and choose HTML view, then click anywhere inside HTML code and press press CTRL+F, in the search box type your name and hit Enter. Once you find it, replace it with your code.
This way your code will be added exactly where you want it and you don't have to worry about messing the HTML code.
You have an option to add a post block inside your post. To do so, you have to add this code inside your post.
Add it where to want post block to appear. See Add code inside post for help in adding code to your post.
Add below code in your post. See Add code inside post for help in adding code to your post.
Go to HTML View in your post editor and paste the below code right at the beginning.
This will show up on widgets like this -
and on post page like this -
data-max is the max value of your review. Do you want your review score out of 10 or out of 100? Use whatever value you like.
data-score is the actual review value. So, if data-max is 10 and data-score is 8.6, then review is 8.6 out of 10
Say your data-max is 100 and data-score is 72, then you can turn data-percent to true so your review is 72%. It basically just add a percentage sign after the review score value. Nothing else.
data-title and data-description can be left empty if you don't want a review box but a simple review circle on post page.
To change review box colors on post page, go to Theme> Customize> Advanced> Post Page Reviews
Note that you can add review tag anywhere and any number of time in your post's 'HTML View', use add code technique to insert the code correctly.

(L) Search Box
Back To TopSecond widget is Popular Posts widget which you find find inside Search_Posts section.
(M) Single Post Page
Back To Top(M1) Table of Content
Table of Content automatically appears on top of the post. It will select h2, h3 tags as heading and subheading. If h2 tag is not present in the post, then it will use h3 and h4 as heading and sub heading. So, you don't have to worry about using specific heading tag.
If you want to hide the Table of Contents section, see (Q) Theme Options
Instead of top, if you want to show Table of Content somewhere else inside the post, you just have to insert this code
inside the post. See below on how to insert code to your post.To add any code inside post, first type your first name or any unique name in your post where you want to add your code, then click the first option i.e pencil icon in the toolbar and choose HTML view, then click anywhere inside HTML code and press press CTRL+F, in the search box type your name and hit Enter. Once you find it, replace it with your code.
This way your code will be added exactly where you want it and you don't have to worry about messing the HTML code.
(M2) Post Block
You have an option to add a post block inside your post. To do so, you have to add this code inside your post.
<div class='postcard' data-id='5351122204897338930'></div>
Replace id with the id of the post you want to show. You can find post id in your address bar while editing your post. Post Id is the numbers after last slash.Add it where to want post block to appear. See Add code inside post for help in adding code to your post.
(M3) Warning and Info Box
Add below code in your post. See Add code inside post for help in adding code to your post.
<p><aside class='info'> If rather, him the would treble-range wild any long of policy waved preparations disguised first initial that commitment had my in for spirits gradual solitary</aside></p>
For warning box, replace info with warning. Replace grey text with text you want to displayed inside info or warning box. (M4) Reviews
Go to HTML View in your post editor and paste the below code right at the beginning.
<div class='review' data-max='10' data-percent='false' data-score='8.6' data-title='Spider Man' data-description='Tom Holland’s third outing as the puppyish web-slinger is endearing and chock-full of eye-popping spectacle'></div>
This will show up on widgets like this -
and on post page like this -
data-max is the max value of your review. Do you want your review score out of 10 or out of 100? Use whatever value you like.
data-score is the actual review value. So, if data-max is 10 and data-score is 8.6, then review is 8.6 out of 10
Say your data-max is 100 and data-score is 72, then you can turn data-percent to true so your review is 72%. It basically just add a percentage sign after the review score value. Nothing else.
data-title and data-description can be left empty if you don't want a review box but a simple review circle on post page.
To change review box colors on post page, go to Theme> Customize> Advanced> Post Page Reviews
Note that you can add review tag anywhere and any number of time in your post's 'HTML View', use add code technique to insert the code correctly.

Some Tips
1) If your ad is not centered and you want to show it at the center of the page. You have to wrap your ad code with center tag. Just add
<p> your ad code</p>
2) Another tip is to add spacing at the top or bottom of your ads. For that you simply have to use the line break tag. Say you want to create some spacing at the top of your ad, then just above your ad code insert
tag. You can add multiple tags to create more space. Like this -
<div>
<div>your ad code</div></div>
