Hello @william, to change the main menu background color you have to write a simple custom CSS. For e.g.
to change the current black background that appears upon scrolling to red then copy/paste following CSS code in Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> Custom CSS and [Save].

CSS snippet:

.navbar-fixed-active {
    background-color: #FF0000 !important;  /*you can change this HEX code as per your required color */
}

Hope this will work for you.

Thank you.

Hi @amitb.designer, creating Photo Gallery page is simple. Please follow these steps below :

1. Go to your Gallery page click Add Media button just above the content editor section.
2. Then appears a new window. On the left column of this panel select Create Gallery.
3. Upload new images or select the existing ones and click Create a new gallery button on bottom right of the panel.
4. Opens up a new panel , select Attachment Page option in Link to settings. Select no. of columns, image size , etc according to your design and requirements.
5. Then click Insert Gallery button. You will get the shortcode inserted into your content editor. Give this image gallery a title for e.g. Adventure

It looks something like this:

Adventure

[gallery link="file" ids="770,769,768,767,766"]

You can create more galleries under different titles by repeating same steps as above.

Thanks

HI @dmanfordjm

Happy New Year to you as well 🙂 . Glad to help you.

To resize the sidebar you need to change the bootstrap resizing classes e.g. col-sm-8 , col-sm-4 through PHP approach which is a little bit tricky and need some coding idea. These classes are handled from theme hooks functions ( location : inc/theme-hooks.php) wen_corporate_implement_primary_class for left content area and wen_corporate_implement_secondary_class for sidebar . Copy these functions in your child theme and change above class values to adjust / resize the sidebar and corresponding content area.

On your second query it’s bit unclear whether you want to add your sidebar background a different color or any specific widget or part that you want to change.

Lastly, on your third query, for adding banner below main primary menu you need to modify hooked function wen_corporate_implement_header_logo (location: inc/theme-hooks.php) . Inside this function just after closing the menu wrapped div <div id="site-navigation"> you can place your banner code. It will appear beneath the primary menu. Copy that function in your Child Theme functions.php to override this changes.

Alternatively, to do all these customizations if you are not too confident and familiar with function overrides and accordingly the design adjustments then you can Hire a Customizer to get you through these requests in a more safe way.

Hello @andrew, since you are using a free version of Photo Perfect theme there is no in-built option to do this differently.

But this feature is available in premium version of Photo Perfect theme where you would get the check option within a page editor section to set the Featured Image as a Banner.

Thanks.

Hello @dmanfordj, current Services Widget is only compatible with fontawesome icons but not custom images, meaning that you can use variable icons simply by inputting available fontawesome class to generate icons of your choice. For e.g fa-paper-plane, fa-icon-user, etc. You can find more compatible icons here and use them using as class name.

Alternatively, if you want your custom images as icons then you need to customize the Widget code in core file for which you may need to Hire a Customizer to do this custom job for you.

Hope this helps resolving your query. Also if you have any more queries kindly post it back.

Thanks

Hello dmanfordj, am sorry to know that you are still having problem with the logo size. Actually, theme does not crop the logo to default size so you need to make sure before uploading it that the logo you are using is not actually too big in size. For e.g if you cropped down the logo size to 100×100 px from Photoshop and upload it through Customize-> Theme Options -> Header -> Logo and [Save] , your site should show this actual logo size in header.

Going to your next query, to make site full-width you can do it by adding following CSS snippet in your Child Theme’s style.css .

@media (min-width: 1200px)
.container {
    width: 100%;
}

Thanks

Hello dmanfordj,

Thank you for your appreciable comment. Before you upload your logo, you have to resize it manually using some image editing tool like Photoshop to your appropriate choice and upload it in your site.

For changing site color to orange you need to do a little CSS hack. You can copy entire existing CSS codes from CSS file e.g. blue.css (/css folder ) to your new CSS file e.g. orange.css and edit all hex color codes to orange.

To know the hex color code for orange check : http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colorvalues.asp

Then enqueue this new file through functions.php in your new Child Theme. Child theme is a better approach to override your parent theme with your
custom changes.

Hope this helps resolving your issue.

Thanks

Hello @m.gurkangurer,

Regarding your first question if you have already set up a custom homepage and now are trying to show separate blog page to display all posts from different categories then please try following the steps below.

1. Create a new separate page e.g. Blog from Page menu of Dashboard.
2. Now, go to menu Settings -> Readings and choose second radio option on Front page displays label. Here configure
Front page : Select page from the options to display it as main homepage
Posts page : Select page from the options to display it as a blog page e.g. Blog page here.

3. Finally Save and view your blog page that should display all posts from different categories as a blog.

Hope these instruction would address your first query.

And for adding thumbnail in the blog lists, first of all there should be featured of each of the posts that are listed in the blog lists page. After that, go to Themes Options -> Layout Options where choose ‘Excerpt and Thumbnail’ under ‘Archive Layout’. It will show thumbnail along with the post excerpt.

Hope that helps resolving your issue.

Besides, if you still have some confusion somewhere then kindly post in query with your site URL so that we could specifically answer them.
