A new site is mostly empty pages and decisions. The Setup Wizard makes those decisions with you in five short steps and creates what is missing, so you end with a working site rather than a blank one. Anything you already have is kept exactly as it is.
Where to find it:
The wizard opens from the notice WordPress shows right after you activate the theme. You can open it again any time from Settings, at the bottom of the tab, with Run the Setup Wizard. Its five steps are listed across the top: 1. Your Look, 2. Your Pages, 3. Your Menus, 4. AI and 5. Done.
Step 1, Your Look:
Pick your look. All of this can be changed later in the Customizer.
- What are you building: Business or blog site (the default), Membership or course site, or Funnel or offer site. This only sets sensible defaults for the next steps. Every feature stays available on every site type.
- Layout: Classic site, Member portal, Boxed classic or Minimal.
- Color scheme: one of the ten schemes, from WordPress Native to Rose Pink.
- Blog layout: List, Card grid, Magazine or Classic.
- Login page: Classic, Split, Minimal or Dark. Your logo, a background picture and the welcome words are set later on the Your Site tab.
Press Save and Continue, or Skip this step.
Step 2, Your Pages:
Create your pages, in one click. Each row says Already set or Done when it is in place.
- Home front page: a standard page set as your front page.
- Dashboard front page: a page with the Member Dashboard template, set as your front page. Best for membership sites.
- Updates page: your blog page, in the layout you just picked.
- Legal pages: Privacy Policy, Terms, Earnings Disclaimer, Cookie Policy and Accessibility Statement, linked in the footer.
- Cookie notice: switched on, with Fine-tune it on the Legal tab.
Press Create and Continue.
Step 3, Your Menus:
Your main navigation and the Dashboard Quick Links are created and assigned in one click. Menus you already assigned are left alone, and the step says Already assigned next to them.
Step 4, AI:
Connect AI (optional). Pick Google Gemini, Anthropic or OpenAI and paste the key. How do I get an API key? opens short instructions for each provider. A tick box switches on the AI assistant for logged-in users. If you already have a working key, this step simply says Connected. Skip, I will add a key later is fine too.
Step 5, Done:
Your site is ready. The last screen offers View My Site, Add My First Training, Read the Training Guide, See the Family and Fine-tune in the Customizer.
Auto Start My Blog:
A new blog is the hardest one to write: nothing to link to and no sections. Auto Start plans your first articles, then writes them properly, with pictures, sections, tags and SEO.
- Open ResultsAiX Theme, Home, and find the Start your blog card. On a site with posts already, click Write another set of articles.
- What is the blog about? is filled in from Train Your AI and your site name. Change it if this run should be about something narrower.
- How many articles: 3 to 10, with 5 chosen. They are written one at a time, so you can stop whenever you like.
- Pictures in each one: None, 1, 2 or 3. The first one in each article also becomes its featured image. The line under the form shows how many pictures that is and the rough picture cost.
- When they are written: Leave them as drafts for me to read, or Publish them straight away.
- Press Plan my first articles. The plan is one small request with no articles yet. Read it, then press Write them all.
The run is saved as it goes. If you leave the page, the plan is kept and a Continue box picks up where it stopped. Stop finishes the article in progress, then stops.
Demo content:
Prefer to see the layouts filled in first? Settings, Demo Content has six finished sets: Local Business (Offline), Coaching and Consulting, Online Business and Digital Products, Membership and Trainings, Funnel Pages and Blog Posts. Each shows the pages it creates and a preview. Press Install This Set. Nothing you already have is ever overwritten, and removing a set deletes only what the demo created.
The menu before you build one:
Until you assign a menu, the header shows a simple stand-in: Home, your top-level pages and the blog page, and Trainings once a training is published. The Home tab reminds you with Set your main menu and a Build a menu button.
A real example:
Jo sets up yoursite.com in about ten minutes. In step 1 Jo picks Business or blog site, Classic site, Ivory Cream, Card grid and the Dark login page. Step 2 creates the blog page and the legal pages, step 3 the menus, and step 4 connects an Anthropic key. Back on the Home tab, Auto Start plans five articles about balcony gardening with one picture each, saved as drafts for Jo to read.
Tips:
- Fill in Train Your AI before Auto Start, so the plan follows your business, not a guess.
- Install a demo set on a test copy of your site if you want to compare layouts side by side.
- Next, choose your layout and colours. See Site Layouts And Colour Schemes.
