Hi Chreste – please provide a link to your site so I can take a look directly. Thanks.
I’m seeing a Read More button below your featured page:

Could you explain exactly where the buttons are missing?
Kathryn,
I would like to have the red “read more” buttons below the pictures. Nothing special. I think that is what most of the GORAn sides do. However I still have difficulties with configuration. It seems to be kind of limited. Maybe there is another plugin what I have to install. Such as the Jetpack Plug in, which clarified many of my questions.
If you’re referring to this section on the Goran demo:

Those are Featured Pages, which you can select in the Customizer’s Theme Options panel:

Selecting three static pages there will show the page’s excerpt, which is either pulled automatically from the first portion of the page’s text, or you can also add a manual excerpt below the post editor for each page. A “Read More” button will be placed below each excerpt. Upload a featured image to each page and that’s what will be pulled into the front page.
You can also check out the Goran setup guide in case it helps answer other questions:

A feature that requires Jetpack on a self-hosted site is the Site Logo option in the Customizer.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Kathryn,
After understanding what a “Featured Image” is, I could fix it.
I have the German version of WordPress, which makes it harder to understand because of the different terminaology.
Thank You so much.
Chreste
Ah, glad you’re all set and you’re very welcome!
How would I go about translating the text of the Read More button to my language???
lmtoy – there are pre-existing translation files for many languages. Please start a new thread: https://wordpress.org/support/theme/goran#postform – and mention what language you’re looking for, and provide a link to your site.
Once you’ve done that I’ll explain how to install the translation in your language. Thanks!
