Simple blocks
There are 8 of these “simple” blocks, which are the most appropriate blocks when creating static content on a page.
How to configure simple blocks? Visit the link below to learn everything about simple blocks.
5 -
Advanced blocks
There are four of these blocks, and they are “dynamic”, meaning that they dynamically display content created elsewhere.
For example, news post, you will create them in a special tab called “Posts” on your dashboard. ou can then place the block on a page, and it will automatically display the selection of posts you’ve configured.
No need to copy them over multiple times!

Layout
By visiting the link below, you’ll learn more about the 404 page, the search page, and other Minos features that require configuration.
- 404 error page
- the website fails to load
- or if someone tries to access a page that does not exist on the website
A source of frustration or a snapshot of your site at a given moment, this is the page users are redirected to if:
It’s essential because it lets visitors know that the content they were looking for could not be found.
Its user-friendly configuration indicating the steps to follow (including a default redirection to the home page) is highly recommended.
- Search page
You can add a search bar to the menu to help visitors find what they are looking for more easily. The search page lists different types of pages - a post, an event, a team member, or a page, allowing users to filter their search.
- How can you change the background color of your general website? How can you add scripts for tracking, for example? How can you add a little decorative touch?
You’ll find the answers to these questions under the misc tab!
7 -
Header and navigation
At the very top of your site, you’ll find the header. It consists of a menu (the navigation bar) and other elements (a CTA and/or a search field), helping visitors navigate your site.
The header needs to be well-structured, as it gives users an overview of the site’s content at a glance and allows them to easily find what they’re looking for.
By visiting the link below, you’ll learn how to set it up.
8 -
Footer
At the very bottom of your site, you’ll find the footer. It usually contains your contact information, social media links, and one or more menus — but it can also include logos, such as those of your partners.
By visiting the link below, you’ll learn how to set it up.
9 -
Revisions
Here you will find all versions and updates of your site's “stylistic” configuration, from the first time you configured it.
If you’ve “lost” some content or if a page contains a block that doesn’t look the way you set it up, you’ll need to go directly to that page to make the correction.
For each of these revisions, you can
- view the details
- copy the values
- export them
- delete the revision
- select the revision — meaning it will be the version restored on your site (if you select a revision from three weeks ago, your site will look exactly as it did three weeks ago)
- import new revisions by entering code directly into the “import” box
10 - Site identity : logo, favicon and tagline
By “site identity,” we mean more than just its domain name — it’s about its branding and the few words that will accompany it wherever it’s mentioned (in browser tabs, search results,…).
The site identity is configured in the Appearance tab → Customize → Site Identity from the dashboard.
a - Logos
- Click on “Change logo” and select the new logo you want from your site’s media library that opens.
- Secondary logo (optional) → you can select a second version of the logo, for example to display it in the footer.
b - Site title and tagline
- Enter your site title (for example : Minos)
- Enter your site tagline (for example : a Minotaure theme)
c - Site icon or favicon
The site icon, also called the favicon, is the small icon that represents your website in the browser tab and complements your visual identity. It appears on the far left of the address bar and on your browser tabs.
Once these elements are set, click “Published” at the top right to save and see them appear on your site where they’ve been configured!
