Questions about Craft demo

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello. These questions are specifically for the Craft demo theme which I would like to use.

– Would you recommend installing the demo with full content or no content before making changes to it? Or would you recommend starting from complete scratch?

– How to stop randomized posts on front page?

– What should be the size of the banner for full width and height? (Basically so that my banner fills the entire yellow space)

– How to modify or delete the menu icons?

– How do you change the font of texts title and posts that are on the front page? (I’m changing the font but it doesn’t appear on front page, it only appears once I click on the actual posts themselves)

That’s all for the moment, thanks!

Hi,

The easiest way would be to install the demo with content, gradually replacing it with your own. Start from the top for example, with the logo, menus etc. Configure the blocks and widgets on the page to display your own content

Customize the footer as well. Content in blocks and grids can be filtered and sorted as you wish, random is one of the sorting options available.

The header style used in the demo does not have a limit for the logo size, any image can be used. However the demo uses a logo of this size

With a background color set in the theme panel

This creates the effect of a full width logo, you can use a single wider image or create a similar effect.

Those icons are created specially for this demo. They are added like this

When you will replace the header menu with your own, they will not be visible anymore. You could add your own icons like this

All the modules have settings for font customization, in the theme panel

Article titles, excerpts fonts can be modified in the theme fonts settings. For example the Must Read block is a block 5, this is the module it uses

Please let us know if you have further questions or you need help with something.

Thanks
