• Hi John,

    1. Scrolling Banner/Panels
    Is there an easy way of adding a scrolling banner to the Lithestore home page?
    I’d like to use that to put some promo messages across for my store. Would still like to have the product categories, and headings following that. Do you know a good plugin for this?

    2. Blog Post
    Is there a good way of incorporating a more visually styled ‘blog post’ on the home page, so people can see it more prominently and be kept up to date?

    Those kinds of options would help keep the site more dynamic.

    Thank you.

    LCB

    Hi

    For these two needs, maybe you can try KingComposer page builder plugin, I know this plugin has many useful elements such like blog post and so on, you can add everything to the page.

    Thanks

    Thanks John, will try this out now. Hope it works harmoniously with your existing layouts. Cheers

    Hi again – I installed KingComposer – and spent quite a while playing around with it.

    However whenever I create a new page it follows the structure/layout predefined by the site (when I apply any sections/elements).

    It ends up with a few awkward gaps and spaces and with everything aligned in the middle (as per the lithestore theme).

    Also I cannot figure out how I would include featured products if the formatting worked.

    As mentioned, the goal is to include a few dynamic elements/banners in the lithestore site. Will keep trying but I’m struggling a bit to make sense of this.

    Regards,

    I’m sorry that this free theme doesn’t include options for adding banners on the home page, to be honest, it’s not highly customizable, it more like a basic framework for our other themes, and we are planning to rebuild the free version based on another powerful page builder – Elementor, give users more customizable space. And we will also have a plan for the Pro version (still in the discussion)

    Based on the current template, if you want to insert something into the home page, you may write some custom PHP codes or JS codes with the hooks.

    For example, insert a fullwidth banner between “Handpicked Stuffs” and “Top Rated Products” sections, you may add the following custom codes into functions.php

    add_action('lithestore_after_featured_products', 'my_first_banner_section');
    function my_first_banner_section(){
       echo '<div class="banner">...add the content in the banner container....</div>';
    }

    Thanks
