Homepage layout

update: I’ve activated the slider but I don’t know how to add pictures to it.

Hi @lbmb,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.

1) I would like to have the same home page as shown in the demo version.
That is:

– An “about me” on the right side and which stays on almost all pages. Should I simply use a widget with text space ?

Yes you should use text widget and add the content in it.

– A slider for some pictures on the top

You can achieve this by configuring the theme as described on the following page in the section “How To Setup FrontPage And Activate Slider”.

2) I would like to modify various things :

– the color and font of the title (at present “Martin Baer”)

You can try achieving this by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Activello Options -> Other -> Custom CSS

#logo .navbar-brand {
    color: #000;
    font-family: arial;
}

Please change the font family and color value in the above code to whatever you want to use by referring the following pages.

https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colorvalues.asp

– the copyright text. I can add text easily but can’t access to the current one. I could use firebug with mozilla to remove it but I would like to edit properly from the html pages. I couldn’t find the copyright text on the footer.php page.

You can achieve this by editing the custom function custom_activello_footer_info in the functions.php file of Activello theme in its child theme by referring the child theme solution shared in the following topic.

– Edit the “Search” written inside the search bar on the top-right hand corner.

You can achieve this by translating the theme as described on the below page.

– Edit the title of the website which appears on the tab. At present “Martin Baer” followed by a vertical line. I would like to either remove this line or to add some text after it.

You can try changing it by using the following wp_title filter.

Thank you so much for you help, I’ll try everything ??

May I trouble you again ?

I’ve created a drop-down menu for my main topics of interest (For instance “Langues” on my website). I would like to add new choices/pages to the existing sub-menu.

That is: Langues/Japonais/New choice.

I’ve put a new page under the “Japonais” sub menu, in the menu setting, but nothing appears. Even when I click on the “Japonais” sub-menu, the new page is not displayed.

Is the theme limited to one sub-menu ?

Thank you for your help.

This theme is built on Bootstrap and by default it doesn’t support third level of menu structure and one submenu is max so to achieve this you have to develop custom code by referring the solution posted in the following reply.
