Customization of Virtue

Hi Tara,
1. The online store is actually run through woocommerce, not through the theme. So you won’t even have to install the plugin.

2. Yes, there are actually options to add a portfolio carousel as well as an icon menu to the homepage. Or you can set your homepage as a static page and add whatever content you like to the homepage.
The premium version makes it really easy to add tons of carousels, images, widgets, etc. to the homepage. You can see premium demos here- https://themes.kadencethemes.com/virtue-premium/

Let us know if you have further questions!

Hi Hannah,

I agree that the premium theme may have more of what I need. Thank you for the link.

I would like to minimize my site down time by preparing as much as I can ahead of time. I don’t suppose there is some kind of cheat sheet for ideal image sizes for the sliders etc. on the virtue premium theme?

Thanks!

There isn’t really a set size that we tell people. It kind of depends on the look you want. Obviously if you have a small image and you want it to be fullwidth it will be stretched and won’t look as clean, so in that instance larger images work better. But for something like your logo you would obviously want to use a smaller image.
Sorry, I know that’s not much help.

How do I edit my carousel portfolio in the free version?

roycefk,
I assume you mean on the homepage? You can edit in Theme Options > Home Layout under Home Portfolio Carousel Settings.
In the future please start a new thread and post a link to your site.

Hi, I know this isn’t the place to post my question but I’m lost ?? If someone could please help me figure out how to center the sitewidebanner in the Virtue Theme, I would be so grateful. I have tried:

.virtue_banner {
padding:30px;
align: center;
}

among other things. The padding works, the alignment doesn’t.

Thank you, anyone, for any help!

Hey wargin,
Try adding this to your custom css box in theme options > advanced settings:

.virtue_banner {
  text-align: center;
}

Hannah

Hannah you are a saint to be taking your time to help! text-align didn’t work but img-align did. Thank you. Obviously I need to work on my css skills (and everything else!)

.virtue_banner {
img-align: center;
}

Hannah, if you’ve got a minute, I was wondering … I just upgraded to Virtue Premium. Should I create a new Child theme based on it, or is the one I created on the free version going to work just fine?

I really appreciate your help! I’m sure you’d rather be doing something much more fun and interesting!

Thank you,
Ginger

Hey Wargin,
Sorry for the delay, it depends on what’s in your child theme. You would need to change the assigned ‘parent’ template. Then you would still need to import the theme options. Then any template that you are overriding you have to update with the premium theme template. It is probably easiest just to create a new one. ??

Thank you Hannah, that’s what I did.
Now I’m trying to figure out how to get a front page (landing page?) without the header. I’ve created the page and have asked for the landing page template, and for it to be the static front page, but I’m guessing that’s now how you do it.

I’ve been away from this endeavor, and have lost some ground with building the site after upgrading. The site is jewishamericansongster.com, and I have a coming soon plugin enabled, I have tried disabling that.

Your help is greatly appreciated as always. Thank you.

Now I see there is an option to move the slider above the header on the home page! That will do. I think I’ll be ok. Thanks!
