Posted in: Newspaper

Is it possible to create a Header-Area between the Header and The Posts where one could use Widgets for Gallerries, Sliders or any other Widget.

Any CSS code will be welcome if the option is not there in the Theme.

Hi,

That is possible with the tagDiv composer and cloud library plugin. You can design a post template for example, in any way you want

Add any elements you want in the post template and apply it to your posts. Templates can be created for many pages (categories, tags etc)

If taht is so, can I not not create a custom template by using td-composer directly and ad it to my Template library as a Custom-template. Without having to go to the Cloud Library.

I am sorry that this solution will not work. In an earlier query here I was told that Newsman theme can not display Vidoes on the Home Page displays but only on Single Posts. because of that I can not use td-Composer any more. I still use the theme but my front page is created through another plugin Content View. Hence, I would like to create this Widget Are Header within the Theme options and not via td-composer which forces me to put the short code in a Page (the other plugin Content View is already using that Page to create front page display).

Is there a CSS code possible by which this Widget Header can be create above the Posts area. Content View only uses the Posts display area. All other areas I am managing via the Theme only.

Only through the Cloud library plugin you can add a new template (import or create)

This plugin is in beta state, we will try to improve it’s functionality and also add more templates in the future.

It is true that featured videos can only be actually played in the post page. In pages you can embed single videos or playlists, or use dedicated video elements like the video playlist or even button elements (with video popup).

Where exactly do you want to add the widgets? Maybe it could be possible by editing the theme page templates and adding the widget there. But this way if you want to make modifications to it you will have to edit the code.
Also, content in pages is meant to be added with the page builder, adding it in other ways may cause problems either with the layout or maybe with the functionality.

How do I send you a Word file where I can show you what I am wanting. I see no option here to attach a file. Can I post an image here ?

You can post a link to an image and I will take a look. Upload it using a free image upload website and paste the link here.

So below the header and above the page content. By using the page builder you can design any page with the content you want. If you want that section to be displayed on every page of the website (posts, categories etc) you could include it in the header template you are using maybe. Use the shortcode of the elements you want. Example with a block

<?php echo do_shortcode('Shortcode here'); ?>

Other than this there would be no way I can think of to do what you are trying to.

Unfortunately, I do not use td-Composer. Just the Theme options. If you can give me the code which I can insert in the header3.php, I will do that and try.

What page builder are you using? Theme blocks or grids for example will work with both tagDiv composer and WPBakery, so their shortcodes will work.

If you maybe use a different page builder and none of the provided composers are active, then the shortcodes will not work.
In that case you could try and use shortcodes provided by your page builder instead.
