How do I split the home page to three columns and change its color?

Hello,

I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. Is this correct:

• You have a page called “Home” and you’re using the default template
• Under “Layout” you have it set to “Three Columns, Right/left/center”
• You say the result is not what you wanted. What is the result and how is it different from what you wanted? Do you have a link to your page?

If you excepted a result like the demo you should set the page template to “Front Page”.

If you want to change the styling you should use a child theme.

Hope that helps you. If not, feel free to write again. If you have any questions beside these I recommend you sign-up for support on Theme Hybrid.

Hi Jesper,

Thank you for your reply and for the lovely and flexible theme!

I got the home page with only one column.
When I set it to “Front Page” – It doesn’t display the content of the Home page (text and YouTube link).

Oh, right. I know what you mean. That’s a bug in the theme that will get fixed in Cakifo 1.6

I recommend you put this in your child theme functions.php:

<?php

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_setup', 11 );

function my_child_setup() {

	/* Get the parent theme prefix. */
	$prefix = hybrid_get_prefix();

	/* Set the layout for the front page. */
	add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_cakifo_child_frontpage_layout' );

	/* Other Actions and filters calls go here. */
}

function my_cakifo_child_frontpage_layout() {
	if ( is_front_page() && ! is_home() )
		add_filter( 'get_theme_layout', 'my_cakifo_child_layout_home' );
}

function my_cakifo_child_layout_home() {
	return 'layout-3c-l'; // 3c-l, 3c-r or 3c-c
}

?>

OK, I’ll look into the “child” creating and get the above code.
I’ll let u know if OK ??

Thank you so much!!

Seems OK. Just to make I got it right:
You mean that the ‘Child’ files: Style.css and functions.php will only contain the code that you’d sent to me? Right?

Yes. Exactly. Glad it worked ??

Thank you!

May I ask how to change the page color ? (not the background)
And
Is it possible to take off the path (for example): “You are here: Home / Support” ?

Thanks again!

Please use the support forum on Theme Hybrid where Cakifo has it’s own support forum or look in the Wiki https://github.com/jayj/Cakifo/wiki – The breadcrumb thing is mentioned under “Theme Extensions”.

Hi, im trying to do the same thing, but i cant get it to work.. the css like

/**
 * Theme Name: Cakifo child
 * Theme URI: https://link-to-your-site.com
 * Description: Describe what your theme should be like.
 * Version: 1.0
 * Author: Your Name
 * Author URI: https://link-to-your-site.com
 * Tags: Add, Whatever, Tags, You, Want
 * Template: cakifo
 */
@import url( '../cakifo/style.min.css' );

and the function file like:

<?php

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_setup', 11 );

function my_child_setup() {

	/* Get the parent theme prefix. */
	$prefix = hybrid_get_prefix();

	/* Set the layout for the front page. */
	add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_cakifo_child_frontpage_layout' );

	/* Other Actions and filters calls go here. */
}

function my_cakifo_child_frontpage_layout() {
	if ( is_front_page() && ! is_home() )
		add_filter( 'get_theme_layout', 'my_cakifo_child_layout_home' );
}

function my_cakifo_child_layout_home() {
	return 'layout-3c-l'; // 3c-l, 3c-r or 3c-c
}

?>

can someone please help me?

The code should work. Are you sure the child theme is activated?

I’m sorry but I can’t help more. I offer limited free support for the theme – please sign-up on Theme Hybrid for more support.

*edit* my bad.. think this works after all.. thanks

You should not edit functions.php in the cakifo folder. You should edit functions.php in the cakifo-child folder.
