Search Results for 'page template'

First, to set a page as your homepage, do this:

1. Create a page and call it “Home” or something.

2. Go to WordPress’s “Reading” settings and set it to use a static page. Then you can choose the page you made.

Then you can customize your homepage by editing that page you made.

If you edit it and see the normal WordPress editing screen, click the blue “Backend Editor” button, which will take you to Visual Composer’s editing view.

From there, you will see the rows and columns that make up your homepage. If you want, set the homepage template at the right, from one of tagDiv’s basic ones. Then you can click on the + icons to add an element. For example, a slider, a Big Slider, a Revolution Slider at the top.

Then the main part of your homepage is usually made up of block elements. The demo homepage is made of blocks set to show their categories. When you edit a block’s settings, that’s when you would make them show your categories — and many other options.

It’s found in the folder when you download all the files from Themeforest. 🙂

They really should add a note about this in the documentation, as it’s standard practice to include version info with file downloads. However most folks new to webdev would not know that.

Wellllllll…. I had trade some posts with RADU on this topic in hopes he might add a custom field on the user page for an author image loaded locally (this can be hacked from the functions.php file; I did this with one of my own responsive themes in 2011 pre-bootstrap which was insane — three column layouts without bootstrap were really a freaking pain for responsive; float right inside a float right … ugh!).

This was on my to do list before I got sick … and was just thinking the same thing 🙂

You would think there would be plugin for this, since really all it takes is adding new field to user meta for each user; then calling that from the theme author box template.

This may be my Labor Day weekend project ! 🙂

example how to on this topic of adding custom user meta
http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields

in the above case we’d be replacing a twitter field with a user photo field, where we could put in local URL to the user photo (e.g., /uploads/my-name-here_100x100.jpg); then call that in the Newspaper theme.

Hello,

some themes support custom shortcodes on category pages (top and below) or a category header-picture (e.g. post stlye 3 could look great here), this may be easier to implement. In my case, I’m going to replace category pages by custom pages but it’s really complicated, yes.

Some elements in child them won’t over-ride certain custom modules, so to “hack” a new feature into an existing module (not a page template), it requires hacking the parent, unfortunately.

Likely you will need to locate the file which has the login widget code and edit it to put in generic links on that dropdown, or add query if the links are unique to each user.

If you look in your theme folder, under includes > widgets > td_login_widget.php

you would likely add the links there.

e.g.,

            echo '<ul class="top-header-menu td_ul_logout">
                    <li class="menu-item">
                        <a href="#" class="td_user_logd_in">' . $current_user->display_name . '</a>
                    </li>

                    <li class="menu-item">
                        <span class="td-sp td-sp-ico-logout"></span>
                        <a href="' . wp_logout_url(home_url()) . '">' . __td("Logout") . '</a>' .
                        get_avatar($current_user->ID, 20) .
                    '</li>
                  </ul>';

Always good to “explore” the files and folders for the theme to look at what is there, as this is often the starting point for any special customizations not built into the theme itself. Most of the stuff “included” onto pages/posts that are not main templates are found in the /includes/ folder.

Hope that helped! 🙂

Medium, I agree with the images being small. I had planned on fixing those problems once I have the layout finished.

The top slider should, if I’ve read the documentation right, be holding the Big Slider. I’ve chosen the Homepage template in the Visual Composer list with the Homepage – bg + with article list. So that Big slider should be sitting in the location that it looks like you’re missing slides. Instead it seems to have pulled beneath it, leaving the box open above.

Good point about the weekend. I work so much I forget the days of the week. Thank you for your help though, I appreciate it.

Hi Lucian,

I want, when access some categories, that website show some different layout. So i will make some page (use visual composer), with a page define for a category.

How to custome? If you have tutorial for problem, please send me.

Best regards,

My pleasure. I ended up not using cache plugin, since mod_pagespeed does great job in combination with server-based cache since it doesn’t have to run through the php system or wordpress code as a caching “plugin” does. You *can* use one, but I found it didn’t help much really and caused too many issues when I need to update a page or template.

Trick is knowing how to clear the cache on server when you go to update the theme to clear out everything before and after upgrade so web browsers can “see” the new versions of the style sheets.

But I think you’ve got it 🙂
