1: How to remove unwanted links. 2: More queries
  • In the site I'm making for a client I've chosen to use shell lite as my basic, as it covers my basic needs and has a professional and sleek look that I like.

    But I'm facing a few issues I haven't managed to squeeze out my self.

    1: How do I remove the documentation link on this page? Is it also possible to get fullwidth on the page? How would for instance, make a picture go from one side to another? msooyf.jpg

    2: I want to customise the frontpage more. The website I'm making is for a local tournament-arrangement. That is to say, they have four competitions each year. One biking, running, skiing and a march. So I need to make the frontpage more customized to those needs: Sponsors, a news feed, a more pronounced facebook-button. I think I could solve these most easily with widgets(and that would be handy, as the person with the task of updating the page is not very technical), so how can I control the widget area of the front page? How can I make more widget areas? Can I make widget-areas for specific pages? Or should I try another theme(Or CMS, crikey)?

    3: In the blog-page(I want my other pages to be information-pages), this line suddently turned up on the top:
  • 3: In the blog-page(I want my other pages to be information-pages), this line suddently turned up on the top:"You're in all Blogs Section" How do I remove it? I couldn't seem to find.

    4: My "client" want's a more information heavy footer. How should I proceed in making that?

    I'd also say thank you. As this is my first endeavour in to WP(I found it to be what fitted my client needs the most), your theme has helped me learn WP so far, though I still have a lot to go.

    Also, after this barrage of questions, where is your donate-button? :P
  • Hi,

    Documentation link is not produced by Shell, this is most likely something in your sidebar. Shell has two items in http://themeid.com/demo/shell-lite/2011/10/28/contrary-to-popular-belief/ and they're can be changed once you add new items via widget area.

    Full width is possible if you choose the "Content Full" Template from "Page Atribute" section of your WordPress dashboard. See: http://screencast.com/t/2SBXDLKvwj

    In front-page.php you have 3 columns (boxes) and they're widgets, so from there you can do whatever you please.

    Images have three WordPress generated classes, alignleft, aligncenter and alignright, all you need to do once creating a page/post is to insert an image and from uploader itself choose the alignment that you want to use. This is a standard WordPress feature, Shell only sets nice styles for it. See: http://screencast.com/t/7rBpRQkQ

    Now if this is a widget and you want to align images simply add class="alignleft" or aligncenter and/or alignright to your image.

    Heavy footer, that should be fairly easy, (I just want to mention, anything you customize should be in a form of a Child Theme, see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and http://themeid.com/forum/topic/3/use-child-theme-for-personal-customizations/) just follow this post http://themeid.com/forum/topic/45/updating-text-in-footer-section/

    Different widgets on different pages is possible with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dynamic-widgets/ plugin. It's simple to use and it works great.

    Removing "Currently in..." can be visually hidden if you add this to your style.css
    .currently-in {
        display:none;
    }
    

    For right now I don't have time to integrate this in Theme Options, but I will in future updates.

    Also worth mentioning that Shell has Theme Options http://screencast.com/t/OsvGoC9n where you can do most of your customizations from there. Including the Facebook button as well.

    It's very late and I am ready to get some sleep, this will answer all of your questions I think, in case that something was left unanswered please let me know. And also post new questions once you have them.

    P.S. As far as the donate button... if you wish to contribute you can use https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=AQ9YUMGVGJ5W8
