Thank you – I realize now I asked this twice in the same way, but what I was after was whether or not there is a template with a a widget area (for ‘before content’) that will align 2 or 3 widgets in a horizontal row. The RockStar does have the option but if more than one widgets is added they display one after the other vertically.

[Glen Pavelich]

Is there a theme with a ‘horizontal’ widget area above or below the content? I see some themes have a widget area ‘BEFORE’ content, but I’m assuming this is a vertical sidebar, or does this in fact mean horizontal?

Thank you – I will check it out before I purchase the preferred template for this job.

Is there a template that you know of that has a horizontal widget area, say optional for below the header or in the content area?

But I have a new question.

Every time I select ‘theme options’ by mistake it completely breaks any settings I have set under customize…. ie turning feature slider off, setting the layout to 3 columns, etc.

It would be best to take it right out of there since it doesn’t work anymore. If I set something in there it doesn’t stay clicked anyway, but in saving that selection, as I said above, it breaks the other settings back to defaults.

[Glen Pavelich]

OK – Fixed it – I see you have discontinued the theme options tab.

[Glen Pavelich]

Right header sidebar social widgets also disappeared.
Essentially – none of the theme options will stay clicked, and it seems corrupted because all but the active tabs are greyed out.

I had to add this to my child-style
to hide it until you can take a look

#slider-wrap img {
display: none;
}

[Glen Pavelich]

Ha! But replacing the header that way makes it non-responsive to devices.
Is there a simple trick to make a background image in the header responsive?

If not, (using appearance/theme options to assign the image)
how do I disable the header for the pages, so it only appears on the home page.
And is there a way to make a different header appear on the pages (other than the home page)?

[Glen Pavelich]

Sorry, I likely didn’t make that second part of the question clear.

It wasn’t about adding featured images to a post, but adding CSS code for second branding area photo (for the header) …so I could have a larger header image on the home page and a shorter one on all the other pages. I couldn’t find the proper class to grab, but I did figure it out. See code below.

#branding
width: 1000px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid #eee;
background: #000 url(/ThemeTrialWP/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/backgroundSmall.jpg) no-repeat;
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

.home #branding {
width: 1000px;
height: 642px;
background: #000 url(/ThemeTrialWP/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/background2.jpg) no-repeat;
}

As to the first question: The code you gave me for the new widget area works perfect, and is exactly what I was looking for help with.
Thank you so much.

The support here at Catch Themes is one of the reasons I use Catch almost exclusively for the WP sites I build.

And sorry… I found still one more thing in addition to the previous post I just made.

I have two page branding images… a shorter one for the pages, and a longer one for the home page, but I can’t find a different class or id that allows me to set one for each.

Can you tell me how to set the second one below so it appears only on the pages, and the top so it only appears on the home page?

#page #branding {
width: 1000px;
height: 642px;
background: #000 url(/ThemeTrialWP/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/background2.jpg) no-repeat;

}
#branding {
width: 1000px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid #eee;
background: #000 url(/ThemeTrialWP/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/backgroundSmall.jpg) no-repeat;
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

[Glen Pavelich]

Yes, thank you very much that is the code I needed help with, and I appreciate your taking the time to show me how it should look. I learn from this… thank you.
Can you assist with one more thing on this.
I now have the new widget area working, except I cannot get the 3 items within the widget to float left so they are horizontal across the page.
You will see below header how they align vertically. My css doesn’t seem to be working to get the sections to float left.
Thanks
Glen

I finally accomplished this, but I have another question because I only want this new registered widget on the home page.
My site:
The added widget area is just below the header and contains the 3 images: liqueur glass, jelly tree, jelly

I have the functions.php code as:

// Optional Main Content Sidebar Added
function tgherbs_widgets_init() {

register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Main Content Widget’, ‘catch-box-pro’ ),
‘id’ => ‘main_content_sidebar’,
‘description’ => __( ‘Main Content Widget’, ‘catch-box-pro’ ),
‘before_widget’ => ‘<section id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => “</section>”,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”widget-title”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,
) );
}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘tgherbs_widgets_init’ );

And have added it to the header

near lien 106 just above div id=”main” class=”clearfix”

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘main_content_sidebar’ ) ) : ?>
<div class=”main-content-widget”>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘main_content_sidebar’ ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

BUT for catch-box-pro how do I edit the php so it only displays on the home page.

Can you instruct me as to what code to use?

[Glen Pavelich]

OK. The default (link to relative post) isn’t even working for the short-code generated posts. Sigh. I do have a ticket in with plug-in support.
Thanks

[Glen Pavelich]

I’m upgrading from pro 3.3 to pro 3.4, and will be sticking with my child theme which is activated. Can you respond again whether I should expect any issues. Your statement ‘considering you are using original theme, not the child theme” left me still unclear.
I will look into the plug-ins but would like to be certain once and for all if the child theme makes a difference in whether or not the customizations are maintained during the upgrade.
Thanks

PS to my earlier reply above – The wooCommerce sidebar works as it’s supposed on the test site I did up for this same client… (Same template, same settings, etc). Can be viewed at http://www.fireflywebs.ca/TestSite

So there’s something else amiss for their official site. (See francodenicola.com) Can you help me figure out what it is?

[Glen Pavelich]

I added wooCommerce widgets to

Optional Sidebar One

and then set that for each of the Store pages.
It works for cart, acct, checkout, but the Store page itself shows blank even though it is also set to optional sidebar one. Please see: http://francodenicola.com/store/

I thought I should also check the product pages, and they have no sidebar but that’s ok, but the category page shows blank again.
http://francodenicola.com/product-category/clearing-restoring-renewal-retreat-2016/

(There is only one test product here, and one category image.)

If all the new template will do is offer the optional WooCommerce sidebar per page, then it will likely not be a fix for this.

[Glen Pavelich]

Yes I have definitely dragged in the wooCommerce widgets to the wooCommerce side bar… that’s why it’s so weird. The default is still showing on the acct/cart/checkout pages, and nothing on the store page. http://francodenicola.com/store/

[Glen Pavelich]

Re:

1) Woo Commerce sidebar not working, but instead the default side bar is appearing there.
I tested on our site and it is working. WooCommerce Sidebar is only available for WooCommerce Pages like shop and products pages. You have selected no sidebar layout for your shop, so it is not appearing in WooCommerce Pages

Where exactly do I have selected no sidebar layout for the shop?

Because on my store page I have it clicked for right sidebar..
