idiots guide to editing and changing the demo content was created by jimmyc

uploaded the demo website and it looks great but I now need to edit and change content/images etc.
The last template I had from hot joomla templates I figured it out but this one I am hitting a brick wall. So is there an idiots guide I missed somewhere? How do I access the template?
got the template now so a bit further forward but new issue. I unpublished most of the module to see what was left. what was left was content with articles providing that content, and images.
My problem now is, if I try to edit articles and save, I am told 'Invalid field: Created By Unable to find a user with the ID: 690'
what is the solution to that?

Hello,

Regarding article saving, when editing an article, go to the Publishing tab, click the user icon next to "Created By" and select a user or click the "No User" button. Then save the article.

Thank, so simple. looked at the page code, looking for the source of the background image. What is generating the image? Something to do with 'hero' I found hero images in the media/custom folder

Hello,

The hero image is defined in the file /media/templates/site/marketingagency/css/custom.css in this part (around line 296):

Code:

.hero_row {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    min-height: 600px;
    text-align: center;
    background: url(../images/custom/hero_bg1.jpg) center;
    background-size: cover;
    margin-top: 0;
}

To change it, you simply upload your own image named hero_bg1.jpg (or hero_bg2.jpg if you are using style 2, etc...). The recommended resolution is 1920 x 1280px.

Regards,
Milos
