Hi Sakin – I need to see where my actual url for slider appears in code. Should it appear in home.php, or index.php etc?

My url is actually a <script> in one case and an <iframe) in another and I also have an associated file for another two. In order for my url to work with the slider I need to upload these associated files somewhere….not sure if this should be in adventurous pro folder (presumably these associated files need to be in same location / folder as home page).

Or maybe I need to make a child theme to override original? (last resort!)

thanks
daniel

Hello Daniel,

You shouldn’t edit/add any file inside your theme folder ‘adventurous-pro’. As all these edits will be reverted back to original when you update the theme and you will loose your customization. So, if you want to edits just css then you can use “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” and if you want to edit large level of CSS and/or functions then you need to build child theme and edit it. For child theme, you can check out http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/

You don’t need to any file to upload your image and link in the slider. The slider images that you are viewing by default in the demo slider images. You can replace those image by selecting your own slider type from “Image Slider, Post Slider, Page Slider and Category Slider”. You can choose that from “Appearance => Theme Options => Featured Slider => Slider Options => Select Slider Type“. After that you can check our theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/adventurous-pro/ where you can ready detail instruction on how to add those slider image.

We also have screencast for Image Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-image-slider/ and Post Slider http://catchthemes.com/blog/videos-blog/video-series-adding-featured-post-slider/

hi – thanks – no I don’t have a problem with changing slider images or updating url’s etc. But I need to upload add this url e.g.
<iframe>..www.abc.com…</frame> – this does not seem to upload with <iframe> or <script> tags etc. Hence wanted to amend manually.

Also where do I change hover / colour in header + how do I change header background colour. I understand there is a custom CSS option but don’t I need the ID’s to customise? etc…

sorry I am struggling because I am used just to doing my own code in main files etc.

thanks
Daniel

…apologies but also can’t get slider images to show in Safari…
thanks

@D: Sorry we don’t have option to add in iframe code in slider. You can either use Page, Post, Category Slider or independent image slider. Also, I don’t understand why you are trying to add in ifram.

To change the color in “Adventurous Pro” theme, you can go to “Appearance => Theme Options => Color Options”

ok sakin thanks – ok last thing I hope!

I have my site at http://betting-exchanges.com – on home page I know that I have the different layout options. On the right side of the page instead of ‘Archives’, ‘Meta’ etc. could I have a custom menu or an image instead – can I do this? I don’t see custom menus for this area…

Otherwise I have to choose another layout option.

Also slider does not show up in Safari (is it compatible?) thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Yes, you can change the that widget to any widget you want from “Appearance => Widgets”. To add menu, you can drag and drop “Custom Menu” widget to your sidebar and for image, you can use “2. Adventurous: Advertisement” widget and add image url there.

I just tested in my Safari and your slider is displaying fine. Can you refresh your browser and check in.

Regards,
Sakin

Thanks Sakin,
Ok I have added a custom/menu widget to my sidebar with works – but I want each page to have a different (advertising) image. When I add the advertising widget – is there an option to have one image in sidebar on one page and another image in sidebar on another page?

[Sakin]

@D: Yes, you can do that. You can use plugin “Jetpack” and control widget with Widget visibility module.

Hi Sakin –
I found another post that gave me the answer for changing the hover color in the sidebar / menu widget and I have successfully added to my Custom CSS.

But is it in the main CSS/stylsheet under ‘editor’ that I find the ID’s? It’s just that if I don’t know what the CSS ID’s are, then how do I search for them add them / change them in the Custom CSS?

At present I want to change the widget custom menu text color (before hover/rollover)

Maybe you could direct me to this. Thanks.

@D: You shouldn’t edit anything from “Appearance => Editor” as this will edit the core theme file which will be reverted back to original when you update or upgrade the theme. The safe way to add CSS will be from “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” or by build child theme and adding it in child theme style.css

You can add the following css to change the color of the custom menu in your sidebar.
.widget-area .widget .menu a { color: #757575; }
