J) Drag-and-drop Page Builder (only in Premium Version available) - top

Using Drag-and-drop Page Builder, you can simply create your own page layouts. Working with Page Builder is as easy as managing widgets in "Appearance > Widgets" panel. By default (if all the MaidenHair theme features are active), the Page Builder contains 37 widgets altogether:

If you have installed some plugins offering their own custom widgets, they will be probably also included into the Page Builder widgets offer.

Here is a guide how to create a custom page template:

  1. Create a new page in "Pages > Add New" panel.
  2. Page Builder adds an extra tab called "Page Builder" to the standard WordPress editor - click on this tab for displaying the Page Builder interface (it is located beside the standard "Visual" and "Text" tabs).
  3. You will see the left toolbar with 3 icons: Add Widget, Add Row and Prebuilt Layouts.
  4. The rows de facto represent individual widget areas. If you are creating a new row, you can specify the number of columns (widget areas) in this row. In the upper right corner of each row, you will see 3 icons. Clicking on the middle icon called "Visual Style", select the option "MaidenHair" for widgets-layout pre-defined in this theme. If you select the "Default" visual style, the widgets will be displayed by the default way, which might not always fit into the page layout.
  5. Click on the add widget button (plus icon) in the toolbar to bring up the widget selection interface. Click on the widget that you want to add to the selected column.
  6. Now you can see the selected widget interface. Fill out the offered fields and then click on "Done" for saving the widget.
  7. For editing the content of a widget, click on the title. If you want to move the widget to another column, just pick it up and drag it to the another column.
  8. Publish or update the page.

Tip: If you do not want to display the Share Buttons on some page, just select the "Page without Share Buttons" or "Full Width without Share Buttons" page template instead of the Default Template.

If you would like to display different Right Sidebars or Footers on some specific pages, the bundled "Custom Sidebars Manager" plugin has to be installed. It gives you unlimited ability to replace the default Right Sidebar and Footer widget areas on every page/post by different widget areas.

  1. Go to "Appearance > Install Plugins" and install the bundled "Custom Sidebars Manager" plugin.
  2. Go to "Appearance > Widgets" and click on the button "Create a new sidebar" in the upper right corner.
  3. Fill out the name and description of your custom sidebar.
  4. Insert as many widgets as you like into the new sidebar.
  5. Now, if you are editing some page/post, in right you can see a new box called "Sidebars". Simply select the desired sidebar for the "Right Sidebar" or "Footer" widget area from a drop-down list. The selected sidebar will replace the default widget area on that page.

If you go into "Appearance > Custom sidebars", under the tab "Default Sidebars" you will be able to set your custom sidebars according to the post type and category (for example, you can set different sidebars for all posts and for all pages).

Tags are similar to Categories. They are used for better description of posts. We can say that Tags are the keywords which specify the posts in great detail.

4.) How could I set title, description and keywords meta tags for each page and post?

The easiest way is to install some SEO plugin, for example All In One SEO Pack.

5.) Where could I set the number of posts, which display on index/categories/archives/search pages?

Go to the "Settings > Reading" panel and set the options according to your needs.

6.) I do not want to display the latest posts on my home page. Could I set a static page as my home page?

Yes, go to the "Settings > Reading" panel and choose the option "A static page" instead of "Your latest posts".

7.) How could I set the URL addresses of my pages and posts into user-friendly form, instead of "?p=123" displaying?

Go to the "Settings > Permalinks" panel and choose the option "Post name" in section "Common Settings".

8.) Where could I set my time zone and date/time format?

Go to the "Settings > General" panel and set the options according to your needs.

9.) Where could I set the header image?

Go to the "Appearance > Header" panel and upload here your own header image or select one of the already uploaded images.

10.) I have tried to upload a theme through "Appearance > Themes" panel, but I got the following error: "The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini". How can I fix it?

This error is caused by a too low memory limit set on your web server. To fix it, please contact your web host provider with the request to increase the memory limit for uploading files. Or, you can install your theme through FTP.

Once again, thank you so much for choosing this theme. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist. Best regards and have fun with MaidenHair!
