Hi,
I just updated to BB themes- so I am sure my questions are due to my unfamiliarity with the theme - my site is fullpotentialplanet.com - everything above the menu is an issue for me - don’t know how to delete “edit” or HOME - or change the header image. Also - I thought I was placing the nav menu at the bottom or the page - but it’s still sitting on the top of the template. Sorry for these elementary questions - you have my my wp info from a previous session if needed - or I can send it again. Thanks for your help.
I just checked the home page - and see that it was saved without page builder attributes - it’s now saved as a pagebuilder home page. The above questions will now make a little more sense :).
I’ve been able to make a few of the needed adjustments - I guess the main thing now is figuring out how to build a header - and to figure out the differences and attributes of customize > Preferences (is there any place that summarizes the attributes of the various preferences) - and customize >headers - trying to figure out how to navigate this material. Also - I thought I had set up my home page so the nav menu would be at the bottom. Couldn’t make that work. Learning — learning — curve 
Hi - how do i delete the title from the header (from WP settings/general/site title) - and add in my own custom text or image. I see where I can add in background - but not foreground.
Help with editing Header svp - as noted above
Hi Duncan,
I have provided you with a link to our Knowledgebase article that goes into detail about the theme options via the Customizer - http://forum.wpbeaverbuilder.com/knowledge-base/the-wordpress-customizer/
To change the Site Title or add a logo image, you will want to load up the WordPress Customizer and navigate to Header > Header Logo. From here you can choose to have either Text or upload a logo image.
If you have any further questions related to your header, don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks,
Danny
Thanks Danny – starting to get things worked out. I was making a narrow interpretation of the logo option - didn’t realize I could do a header with it. Maybe others make that error too - if so - just call it “logo & text”. When I insert a photo as background on my home page (the orca) - I’ve tried all kinds of pixel sizes - and can’t get the full length of a breaching whale in the photo - I think the whale extends well below the visible area - but don’t know what adjustment to make to get it to fit in the space. Also - is there any way of adjusting margins or padding on the right sidebar? fullpotentialplanet.com
Thanks
Hey Duncan,
The reason why your background photo goes outside its container is because you have it set to Fixed positioning. That is how it works, i.e., it tries to cover the entire viewport, not the element it is in. You can change it to Scroll and you’ll see it fixed.
The sidebar size can be adjusted under Appearance > Customize > Content > Blog Layout. Take note though that we have a bug with the custom size and we’re currently working on a fix.
Ben
Thanks - that was an easy fix . Is there a way to Move the sidebar up a bit - so the top of the sidebar is even with the top of the image? fullpotentialplanet.com
Hi Duncan,
Can you try the following CSS, please?
.fl-sidebar.fl-sidebar-right.fl-sidebar-display-desktop.col-md-3 {
position: relative;
top: -125px;
}
Thanks,
Danny
Thanks - all going well. Take a look at http://fullpotentialplanet.com/sonic-healing/ It’s the same thing on each page – a “choose menu” – below the header - and an “edit” below the page title – don’t know how to get rid of them - I think it’s from WP ??
Hey Duncan,
The Edit link is from WP itself. It only appears when you’re logged in.
The Choose Menu is from the theme. That is the place where your menu should be. Are you planning on not using any menus on your site? We can hide it via custom CSS if you want.
Ben
OK Thanks. Re: Choose Menu - I placed a menu on the bottom of the Home page. I will place a menu on top for members - and then on “non-member” pages - I’d like the option of no menu - or placing it on the bottom of the page. Does that work with the default theme?
Duncan
Hey Duncan,
Yes, we can hide the primary header with CSS. The snippet below should do the trick!
.fl-page-header .fl-page-nav-wrap {
display: none;
}
Ben
Hi - the CSS snippet did the job - I put it in Customize CSS. I had a snippet to adjust my sidebar - which now seems to have been disabled by the above snippet. Seems to be a conflict.
This is what I have now:
.fl-page-header .fl-page-nav-wrap {
display: none;
}
.fl-sidebar.fl-sidebar-right.fl-sidebar-display-desktop.col-md-3 {
position: relative;
top: -125px;
}
Also - is there any way to get my Member login (now placed at the top of the sidebar - to show up at the top of the page on mobile? It now shows up after the footer on mobile.
Hi Duncan,
What I would suggest is that you add your login widget to the top of your page (underneath your header). Then in the settings for that module navigate to the Advanced tab and in the Responsive Layout select Small Devices Only.
When you save the changes the login widget will only be displayed on mobile devices.
Thanks,
Danny
Perfect - re: Login Widget – would have never figured that out on my own - gracias!!
Any suggestions on the sidebar placement. Obviously the css code to remove the nav piece - is conflicing with the sidebar css code.
Hey Duncan,
The reason why the sidebar CSS no longer works is because you’ve changed its setting to display on all devices, instead of just the desktop view. The code below should fix it right up!
.fl-page-content .fl-sidebar {
margin-top: 0px;
}
Also, you can remove the previous code.
Ben
Great - did the job - is there an easy way to add my sidebar content to every page? – Also - setting up Xenforo - forum plugin - is there a best practices suggestion for setting it up with the BB default theme? https://xenforo.com/
Hi Duncan,
If you add your widgets to the Primary sidebar via WordPress Admin Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets. They should automatically display when you set a page to use a sidebar template.
Xenforo is forum software that has no relationship to WordPress and has it’s own skin/template system. Therefore, if you want to match your XenForo forum with a similar design to your BB theme. You will need to manually design it yourself using HTML and CSS.
