Before you create your menu for this theme, make sure your pages/sections have been created already. This way they will be available to be inserted into the menu.

Follow this steps to create a menu:

• Go to Appearance> Menus in the main admin menu.
• At first you will probably need to add a menu (create a menu), give it a name and click Save Menu.
• The new menu will appear in a tab in this location. Click on this tab to begin adding menu items.
  Use the dialog boxes on the left hand side of the page to add items to your menu.
• Select the master page you created as well as all of the sub sections or child pages and click “Add to Menu”.
• Now you can drag the newly inserted menu item to their correct sequence and rename their titles if required.
• After you have added and edited the menu items click Save Menu in the bottom of this area.
• Adding the menu to the theme

Finally you will need to specify the location for this menu.  Select menu for Primary, Main or Footer menu and check box where you want to display it and click Save Menu.

You can select individual post or page layout style from any post while editing or creating new post, by selection style from right side as shown in picture

If you want to change layout of whole website then go to Theme Options and change layout from there if you selected single post then it will not overwrite settings.

For this first please take backup of theme, Because you need to change in core files, Edit theme file in RepublicPro folder > Layouts > Files with names like file-Left.php [left sidebar], filetyoe-right.php[Right sidebar], filetype-center.php[center content], filetype-full.php[no sidebars] (if you choose center which means content to center and sidebars on both sides change that).

We have uses grid system in files to separate and define size of diff. area, Lets edit center layout. Index-center.php file

Here sidebar left

small-12 medium-3 large-3

Middle Content

How this works :
Small screen small-12 [Full width]Medium screen medium-6 [Half screen]Large screen large-3 [4th part of screen]

large-4 + large-4 + large-4
or
