Hey guys,
I am sorry, but I am totally lost with how to adjust my Crafts theme to my needs.
I can find all these layout options but I have NO idea where to edit the text or menu details.
Can I hire somehow to walk me through my questions?
And no, your forum is not helping me at all… ;(

And where can I see which size the images need?

Thank you.
Stephanie

Hi,

You can create topics and post your questions here on the forum. We will try our best to help you. Provide details about what you need help with, so we can give you more accurate answers.
The menu can be edited as usual, in Appearance->Menus
https://www.screencast.com/t/otEZqGT0odv
There you can create new menus and manage their locations as well.
Each module requires a particular thumbnail size. The thumbnail sizes must be enabled in the theme panel
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
These sizes will be automatically created from the featured images you use for your posts
https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
Please let us know if you need help, or need further questions.
The theme documentation is found here

Thanks

Dear Simion, thank you from the heart for this reply. I am honestly totally lost with my site.
Where can I change the icons of the menu? Is there a pool of different designs where I can chose designs?
And is there a chance to change the color of the menu background in Craft theme or are those images?

Thank you

Hi,

The icons were specifically created for that demo and there are no other icons provided. If you would like to use different icons in the menu please follow this guide
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-add-icons-in-menu/
There is a wide selection of Font-awesome icons to choose from.
The background color of the main header menu can be changed in the theme panel

If you mean the block titles background, that is an image

Here you can see all the available block header styles

Dear SImion,

I am truly impressed by your support! Thank you!!!

My last question for now:
on my current layout the top half of the theme is editable but the lower part I cannot change in the composer. the different blocks and colums dcannot be clicked and don’t highlight in blue, so I can’t delete anything. Why is this?

Thanks

Hi,

I believe you are referring to the Latest articles section of the page. This section is always displayed on the bottom of the page (after your content) and cannot be edited with the page builder
https://www.screencast.com/t/Lu4s4lemtc
It can be customized in the page edit screen
https://www.screencast.com/t/5Z5BGXcr
Or removed in the same screen by selecting the default page template, in the page attributes settings
https://www.screencast.com/t/v9tEfb3A92O
More information about the available page templates here

Dear Simion,

I have another question regarding the photos I uploaded.
Checking the speed of my website the program made me aware of a very poor speed. I need to know how big do the photos have to be. I upload one photo and the theme uses this one photo for all the needed placements? Can someone explain this to me one on one? I will pay for this help… Thank you!

PS: I just was able to check all the files that still cause some issues: it is the instagram feed on the bottom of my page. Can I change the image size the WP or Newspaper theme uses to import the images from Instagram? thank you

Hi,

Unfortunately there are no options to modify the size of the images served by Instagram. You could reduce the number of images displayed, that would have a positive impact if the images are an issue.

Thanks
