Hello Everyone

I am trying to make the following updates to my Website (not live yet) but cannot find the solution through the documentation/manual. Any help appreciated. Thanks

1) Change the text on the ‘Read more’ button.
2) Remove the magnifying glass icon / search facility
3) Change the color of the hyperlinks (which have been hand coded within a page).
4) Make certain menus non-clickable (the menus which have sub menus).
5) Change the content that appears AFTER a Contact form has been filled out.

Thanks again

Hi Guys

Any takers? I’m guessing its best to create something in the Custom CSS area for this?

Useful to learn to use the console view in Chrome to highlight page elements to show classes in use other than looking at page source.

Bump doesnt do anything.

Hello Paul,

1) You can change the read more button from the translation section of the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/HwtAGm8P3T8t

2) You can remove the search from the menu either with css or by removing it from the theme files:
css: .header-search-wrap{
display:none!important
}
from the files: http://screencast.com/t/X6DjcpVf

3) You can inspect the links you created using the browser inspector and use css to target them(it’s best to assign them a custom class so you can target it)

4)You need to create a custom link (link to ‘#’) for them and then add the sub-menus or mega-menu:

5) The content is controled by the plugin (most likely contact form 7 as this is the recommended one)

I hope this helps.
Thank you!

Thank you, Bogdan B.

Do you happen to know how I can change the “Featured” links on the homepage – http://www.fcengland.com/

At the moment they link through to a post, but ideally I’d like them to go direct to their relevant page. Is there anyway of customizing? Or even using a different image template?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
I think you are referring to the category tag: http://screencast.com/t/I3gUTccke That does not lead to any post, but the category archive page for that specific category. If you want it to link to something else, you will have to alter the theme files and create conditions for it here: http://screencast.com/t/Fxb9hGEcpox
Thank you!

Thank you once again. I’m sorry I’m not good with code, could you perhaps provide an example of how to do this?

For example I would like the “Tryouts – All the Info” image to link to http://www.fcengland.com/tryouts/

Thanks so much

Hello,
There is another way of creating a redirect if this is what you wish. you can use a redirect plugin and simply add the link and set the link you want it to redirect to. This does not involve any coding knowledge. Use a 301 redirect plugin or if you wish to create redirects in htaccess and not make use of plugins you can use this tutorial: http://www.htaccessredirect.co.uk/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
