In video 3 of the Flexibility3 Theme series I go over the Quick Change Settings.
I hope you enjoy them.
Remember to maximize the video to watch in full screen–click on the button that looks like this–on the bottom of the video. 
In this video I start out with the first option in the theme–Quick Change Settings

Holly,
Thanks for telling me about the footer and how to get rid of the built in monetization. Hope it is still only $27.
Diane,
I think Ryan has gone up to $47–but still a good deal–in my humble opinion
I’m justing getting started with my first self hosted blog and it’s amazing the great help that’s out there. Great videos, easy to follow. I appreciate the added insight and commentary. Thanks
How do you get rid of the “About my Blog? It says “just type and it will be automatically replaced.” Sorry, but that’s not true. There is no WYSIWYG editor. All you see in the page you are referred to is a mess of CSS with no readable text, no way to change it or get rid of it. Basically, I don’t want “About my Blog” at all if it is this terribly difficult to edit or get rid of. But there is no obvious method to remove it.
I’ve worked with html for a long time and understand it. Have to be honest and say I really hate wordpress so far but know I need to use it. If this software could incorporate a normal web page editor that is truly WYSIWYG, it would be a great stride forward. I DO like the look, though, and the idea of the tabs. Just has to be taken a step further. But a good start. And your videos are well done and a good length. K
Kent,
I hear your frustration–there are basically 4 components to working in wordpress.
#1 Your basic wordpress install–with the dashboard
#2 The theme you decide to work with
#3 Plugins that make doing anything in wordpress easy
#4 Widgets
Once you go through all the options of working in each of those components–you will learn to love wordpress as much as I do.
I see in your next comment you found your answer: Settings, General
You can actually work in html using the editor and setting up custom pages for your blog–I just don’t happen to have tutorials for that at the moment.
Thanks again for visiting my site and I hope I can lower your frustration level a bit.
Hoilly
I am just getting started and you video is easy viewing. I was recommended the flexibility theme and told it was easy and as you have shown it is.
Thanks you for putting these videos togeather!
Holly,
Where do I go to upgrade Flexibility3? When I looked for it, it is $127. – not $27. Has the price changed that much, or am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks! ShariLee
PS: I LOVE your videos – they are a great help
Alan,
I do love this theme…that’s for sure.
Holly
Kent,
I answer this question here
http://simplehowtovideos.com/flexibility3-top-sidebar-options/
Hope this helps.
Holly,
I’m just starting to work my way through your Flexibility 3 videos and I’m convinced that this is video #2 that’s going over the Quick Change Settings. You began this post by saying, “In video 3… I go over the Quick Change Settings.” – did I miss something?
Thanks for sharing how to remove the ads by purchasing the theme ($47 as of this moment).
hmm, I’ll have to take a look at my videos and see where I made a mistake. I think I cover everything–but will def look to make sure.
Hi Holly,
On the default flex3 theme it seems that the about side widget is smooshed to and is too small opposie hello world. However in this video when you changed the color to blue it seemed to correct itself. I tried that and mine is still too small and the word about is hidden. Do you know how I can fix that? Thanks.
You can change the widget size in your options–same place you can change your content size.
Hope this helps.
Holly, I bought the purchased theme from Ryan. I still have the very bottom of the footer with a clickable link to another site that came with this theme. How do I change it so go to my affiliate site instead?
Hi Holly,
I’ve been exploring the Flex3 theme but have run into a glitch with the color picker. The color palette window doesn’t pop-up. I’ve reinstalled the latest WordPress 3.1.3, as well as the Flexibility 3 theme, but still no color picker. Have you encountered this? Does it require a separate install of the color picker software to function?
An unrelated question is whether you’ve tried to integrate Buddypress with the Flex 3 theme?
I’ll be interested in your upcoming videos on create new html page layouts for the theme.
Thanks
I love this theme many options and changes you can do to your page.

Hi Holly,
The most beautiful and functional theme I’ve come across – and believe me, I’ve done extensive research! I’ve fallen totally in love with it. Which version of WP is required?
Joan
I’ve used the Flexibility theme for over a year now–so the theme works beautifully on all the past versions. And Ryan does a good job in keeping the theme updated to work with the latest versions–so you should be o.k.
I have not encountered the color picker issue.
If you are having trouble–shoot a quick video using jing and let Ryan know so he can check it out.
I have not used buddypress with this theme–but we do use backupbuddy.
Are you talking about the “small row” of affiliate links at the bottom? or are you talking about the two blocks of affiliate links in the feature footer area?
If you’re talking about the “small row” you need to install the licensed theme.
If you’re talking about the feature footer area–those can be edited in the footer widgets.
What has happened to the options. When I click appearance > options all I get is an ad for FlexTheme or some plug-in. I can’t find the options screen pictured in the videos on any tab. Apparently they are no longer supporting the Flexibility 3 theme. If I can’t, or don’t want to, afford the $197 for FlexTheme, I guess I’m out of luck.
You may have to do a fix that Ryan talks about here:

There is still support for the Flex3 theme:

Hello,
I am just starting out and apparently every little tiny step gets me even more lost! Talk about feeling ignorant. I am trying to change the colors to my site and I can’t get any changes to save! It seems to be remaining in default.
Remember, I am VERY new to this. I can check email and surf the web, that’s about it. Thank you for your videos.
O.K…I think I AM a ding dong!! I figured it out…refresh…ya…missed that one. Thanks anyways!
I am brand new to flexibilty3. I was following your video tutorial and when I tried to change the color font on the quick change tab this is the error message i get. “Your stylesheet is not writable. Loosen the write permissions on style.css until you no longer see this message when saving. The default value is 644 on most servers, but you may need to increase it for your particular server. You may also have the theme installed improperly. Make sure the theme folder structure is /wp-content/themes/flexibility3/ and nothing different.” How do i fix that?
Shirley,
I’m sure you’re not a ding dong!!! How funny…you made me smile today and I thank you for that
