Dear staff,
Could you give me some hints to build a homepage showing a search form at the front with Metropolitan PRO theme? or any other theme ?

Here is an example that I’d like to build:

Hello Michael!

1. Access the homepage, edit it with the TagDiv Composer and add the Search Form element in your header.

2. Please follow the video to see where you can find, build your sticky header on mobile and desktop too: https://www.screencast.com/t/l6v2Belt

Thank you!

Dear Bettina,
Thank you very much! I just made a lot of progress under your instruction. It works!

Currently, I have some other problem along the way, could you take a look:

1) the background image’s resolution level is very low, can’t find a way to adjust it. It looks like this: https://www.gowiselife.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/resolution1.jpg

2) is it possible that the background images will change when visitor visit the page next time? or different visitor from different location see different background image?

3) is it possible to have some gif or motion pictures or image slice over there?

Thank you so very much for your reply, it helped a lot.

Yours

Michael

Hello Michael!

Glad to hear that!

1. Making smaller images bigger is not a good option for this because the quality of images will be destroyed as in your example. Also, make sure that when you upload an image, you choose full size: https://www.screencast.com/t/Oxue274e

2. We do not have such an option for this, sorry.

3. Unfortunately, we do not have animations. Maybe you can find some plugins.

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

Got it! Thanks!

Here is another question:

I have made a new page called “home-search-bar”, if I want to make this page as new homepage, what should I do?

I tried to change it’s name to “Home”, and delete the original “Home”, but it doesn’t work. Could you guide me this?

Thanks!

Michael

Hello Michael!

Set the page as homepage by accessing Settings -> Reading: https://prnt.sc/h9ImaJnI7ub3

Delete the original Home and then create a new one.

Thank you!
