This Ad Bar is holding 2 widgets. The first widget you add with create the blue bar and the second widget will create the gray. Both the Blue and Gray, as well as the font color for each can be changed in the color customizer. You can use your social media icons up here. Link to a page on your site, or maybe que a popup from a newsletter provider.

Widget 1 – Custom HTML widget holding wording and a fontawesome.com icon
Widget 2 – Custom HTML widget holding a hyperlink

Option 1 – Single Image

The demo is using an Image Widget to display a single image. You must presize your image before you add it. There is no code to minimize the height. We did this so you have more flexiblity on how much shows or does not show. 600px is the height the demo uses. Keeping it shorter will pull that optin up, going longer and the optin drops.

Optin 2 – Slider

Using Soliloquy or another slider of your choice, you can add a slider short code to a custom HTML widget, in the Full Width Image spot. Keep your images the same size, 1900px Wide by 600px High.

The Home Optin uses 2 Widgets. The first is holding your wording and the Arrow. The second is either your Optin, an image, or featured page/post widget.

Widget 1 – Custom HTML

widget that holds wording and the image for the signup button. This cute button comes with your theme. If you would like the button to disappear on mobile then you will want to wrap the image in the signup div. That copy paste code is below.

H1 – Oh Hey
H2 – Upfront Call To Action
H3 – What’s Important to you
H4 – (not shown will be in the same font as h3, slightly smaller and black in color.)

SignUp Div

Widget 2 – Enews, Image, or Featured

The demo is using the Genesis Enews Extended plugin. You can use an Image Widget, or Featured Page/Post Widget. Below is an example of using an image that links.

About 1 – 1100pxW by 850px

This widget area is using a Genesis Featured Page widget, pointing to the about page. Blow are the exact settings in the Featured Page Widget that the demo uses. To change the image, you would go to the page itself, About for example, and change the featured image of the page. The Genesis Featured Page Widget pulls that image to show on the front of the site. You can change this to any page, or post you would like. You can also use an Image Widget and place the link, but note that it will not have the hover effect.

About 2

This widget area is holding 2 Custom HTML widgets. The first widget adds the script wording. The second widget adds the title, blurb and button.

Widget 1 – Custom HTML

H1 – Hello You! – Be sure to keep this short. If it is too long it will not fit correctly.

Widget 2 – Custom HTML

H1 – Welcome to the demo
short blurb
Then add a button that links. The copy paste code is below

Plain Button

Image section 1 and 2 are set up the exact same way.

Step 1 – Change the images

To change the image you see in this section you would do it in the customizer. Go to Appearance > Customize > Image Sections. These 2 sections are Image Section 1 and Image Section 2. Make sure to properly size your image before loading it. These sections are a parallax section and the recommended size is 2000x1080px.

**Keep in mind that these are image sections and will adjust for the height, not the width. Use an image that does not need to be size specific, like a portrait. These image sections are meant to be backdrops to the message.

Step 2 – The widget

Each is using a Custom HTML widget with the following

H1 – Blue Font
H2 – Script Font
Wording for the blurb
Button that links – Copy past code is below

Plain Button

This widget area is flexible and adjusts based on the amount of widgets placed in it. How it adjusts is below

The demo is using this section for 3 featured pages. To get the demo look, you will place 1 Custom HTML and 3 Genesis Featured Page Advanced Widgets in the Home Service widget area.

Widget 1 – Custom HTML

– Is always 100% and is holding the Flexible widget message.

Widget 2, 3, 4 – Genesis Featured Page Advanced

Below is how each widget is setup. The color block on the image, will be the page title. The colors for these 3 color blocks can be changed in the color customizer and will adjust with the Blue, Yellow, Gray button colors.

This section was not shown in the demo but can be used for any number of things and is flexible. Below is how the flexible widget area will adjust based on teh widgets you use in it. You can use this like the example above from Main Street Web Design. It used Featured Page Advanced widgets to highlight her portfolio. You could also use it like the image below and create a closing section, like on the Serendipitous theme but with the Boho Styling.

This section will show up above your footer throughout the site. The demo is highlighting testimonials but you can use it for another optin, or message.

Optin Example

To get this look you would use 2 widgets. The first is a Custom HTML widget with the wording. The second is the Genesis Enews Extended. Below is the example.

Footer Widget 1

This widget area is holding 4 widgets. The first holds the message. Then 2 navigation menu widgets and the fourth widget is your client portal button.

1st Widget – Custom HTML Widget
2nd & 3rd Widget – Navigation Menus will be 50% width. Create them at Appearance > Menus. Blue writing is added in the description of the menu, just like your home navigation
4th Widget – Cutom HTML – Button that links. Copy/Paste code is below.

Plain Button

Footer Widget 2

1st Widget – Custom HTML with a short message
2nd Widget – Simple Social Icons

Footer Widget 3

The demo is using the Genesis ENews Extended in this area. You can use it to highlight your social feed, a mesage or even move the testimonials here. The blue color can be changed in the color customizer.

This is where you place the Instagram shortcode in a text widget. To get the IG feed to show up the same as the demo you will need to set the display options in the IG settings. The demo is using 8 images, 8 columns, 2px margin. I’ve also unchecked the features of showing the Header & Load more but left the Follow Button.

Assign the Template

To assign your blog to a page, you would first create the page. Then click to edit the page and over on the right hand side is where you can choose the template for the page. You would change yours to Blog template. Once you do that all of your posts will auto show on this page.

Gutenberg Editor

Classic Editor

Blog Slider Widgets

You can choose to use this widget area or leave it blank. The Demo is using two widgets in this widget section, a Genesis Responsive Slider widget and a Navigation Menu Widget. You can create your custom post menu in the Menu section at Appearance > Menus. You can also place above or below the slider.

Genesis Slider Settings

To setup the slide like you see in the demo you would want to make sure that you have the Genesis Responsive Slider installed. Then go to Genesis > Slider Settings > and set your slide settings like the image. You only have to worry about what is in the circle.

Trouble Shooting

If your images do not fit, make sure first that they are at least 1000px wide. If they all are, then you will need to run the regenerate thumbnails plugin. After you have done that on your images, they should all fit.

This section is holding 6 Widgets. Below is how it is setup. You can pick and choose which to use.

Widget 1 – Custom HTML

Widget 2, 3, 4, 5 – Genesis Featured Page Advanced

Each one of these posts is using a Genesis Featured Page Advanced Widget. I’ve also used custom image sizes vs the default post size, because I wanted them to be shorter. This section is designed to hold 4. If you would like to hold more, or less, you will need to adjust the % in the theme file. The Genesis Featured Page Advanced plugin will allow you to load custom images, links to anywhere on your site, and even create your own titles.

Below is an example of how 2 of the 4 are setup. The first is going to a page on the site that already has an image in the correct size as the featured image. The second widget is using a custom image and linking to a post on the site.

Widget 6 – Genesis Enews Extended

This theme is designed to use the post excerpts for your Shop Style or Reward Style Widgets. You can also use it for affiliate announcments, special guest posters and even optins on a per post basis. To use the excerpt on the post, you first want to make sure that “excerpts” are enabled. You only have to do this once.

Gutenberg Editor

Classic Editor

Step 1 – Create a post, click on the “settings options” tab in the top right corner
Step 2 – Make sure that “Excerpt” is checked
Step 3 – Scroll down your blog post and find the excerpt box. This is where you would copy paste your shopping widget or other content. The demo is using the built in accent text and a shop style widget.

Accent Text Example

Many of you will need to add an affiliate disclosure notice at the top of sponsored or affiliate linked posts. To add your custom message to the post go to the edit the post. Make sure that “custom fields” option is selected. To do this click on the top right hand arrow where it says “Screen Options”, then check off “custom field”.

Gutenberg Editor

Step 1 – Click the 3 dots in the editor and then click on options

Step 2 – A screen will pop up and you can select the Custom Fields Box

Step 3 – Once you select that custom fields box, it will open it up like on the classic editor for you to add in the affiliate blurb

Classic Editor

Next scroll down the page until you the custom field section.

1 – Click “enter new”
2 – Enter the wording “affiliate” in the “name” section
3 – Enter your affiliate message in the “value” section
4 – Click “Add Custom Field” when finished and now that custom filed will show at the top of your post.

This is one of those features that gets asked for often. We added a signature widget that will show below your posts and above the shop widgets. The signature widget does not have any height or alignment restrictions in the style sheet. So you can design any style signature that you would like. You can even use this widget for an advertisement, CTA or message, it doesn’t have to strictly be used for a signature.

Keep in mind that it will show below every single post, so if you have multiple authors on your site then this probably isn’t the best option for you and should be used for something else.

Step 1 – Assign the Template

Create a page and then assign the Client Portal page template to it.

Step 2 – The Image 1900pxW by 1080pxH

Decide what background image you would like to use and be sure to size it properly before you load it. Then go to Appearance > Customizer > Image Widget Sections > and load your image to Image Section 4.

Step 3 – Set the widgets

Go to Appearance > Widgets > and add you widgets to the Client Page Widget section. The theme is designed to use 3 widgets.

First Widget – Is the message for your client and held in a Custom HTML widget.

Second Widget – Is a Custom HTML and what you would paste your client portal script in, or your membership login shortcode.

Third Widget – Optional, Image widget that you can add your submark/badge to.

Step 4 – Preview and link

If you followed 1 through 3 then your new page is ready to be viewed and shared with your clients.

This is a great way to guide your readers when they click through from Social Pages. To set it up, create a page and change it from the default template to the the Social Page Template. Then go to Appearance > Widgets and add your widgets to the Social Page Widget area. Once you have set that up all you have to do is link the page in your social profiles for your readers.

Widgets

1st – Custom Menu
2nd – Simple Social Icons
3rd – Featured Post Widget

Menu buttons

Create a custom menu that you would like to show on your Social Page and then add it to the widget area. This menu will automatically have the menu items show up as buttons.

*Example is from Hello Luv but the setup is the same.

This widget area is designed to be sticky and show on all of your pages and posts. In the demo we are using the Genesis E-News Plugin and the Simple Social Icons below it.

You have a built in Accent Text.

Plain Button

Button with heart

– Change <i class=”fa fa-heart”> to any other Font Awesome Icon

Circle Button

This little button was only designed to hold 1 icon, no wording. Though you could put wording in it and you would have an oval icon. The icons you can use can be found here FontAwesome Icons
