: Editing Content - Corporate Response WP : eminence25 July 09, 2013, 12:36:27 PM I'm very new to wordpress, but believe it's potential is amazing. Your templates are proof of this. Before stumbling a cross your website I was fooling around with a more standard template I found for free, just to get a feel for it. It was much easier to edit content using the "Appearance" sub categories (text/images). On the template I'm using from you guys (corporate response), the only way I've been able to edit the logo or images, was to actually go into editor and find the lines where they're referenced. Is this how I'm suppose to have to edit the site? Using editor?
Sorry if this seems dumb, I'm just trying to figure out if I'm making A LOT more work for myself than I should be. : Re: Editing Content - Corporate Response WP : Tristan Rineer July 09, 2013, 01:32:04 PM The majority of theme customization has to be done through the "Shape 5 Theme" admin page. Currently the only way to change the logo is to put a text widget in the "logo" position (though the Appearance -> Widgets) page, with an image tag pointing to the logo you want to use.
Since you mentioned that you're using Corporate Response, I'm going to move this thread to the board for that theme. I'd be glad to hear any suggestions you have for how to make the theme customization more user friendly. : Re: Editing Content - Corporate Response WP : eminence25 July 11, 2013, 10:36:11 AM The majority of theme customization has to be done through the "Shape 5 Theme" admin page.

Is Joomla any easier to configure? I'm sorry, but this is a lot more work than I had imagined. : Re: Editing Content - Corporate Response WP : Tristan Rineer July 11, 2013, 10:57:44 AM How does one change the rest of the images on the template? Same way? Firebug (http://getfirebug.com/) is the easiest way to figure out what to change and where it is located, either in the code or the file itself. The majority of the images from the demo are in the content, so you'll change them by editing the content - which you would need to do anyway to get a site ready. If you need to change the background images, Firebug can tell you exactly where the files are, and what lines of the CSS they're called on. Is Joomla any easier to configure? All the WP releases are "converted" to WP from the Joomla ones; I would guess that WP is still easier to configure, just because it's an easier CMS. I'll be glad to help in any way I can. (I also respond to the forum more often than the Joomla side usually, so if you need support, I'm more likely to be able to provide it quickly.) I'm sorry, but this is a lot more work than I had imagined. That's completely understandable. I'm still trying to find ways to improve the WordPress version of the framework to make it function more like what people expect from WP, the main problem is that Joomla as a CMS has very messy code, and I have to write custom alternatives to a lot of things that WordPress just doesn't have. The WordPress developers still don't see WordPress as a full CMS, so even the ability to have different layouts per-page isn't a core function. Feel free to let me know what you're having trouble with, and I'll do my best to explain the easiest way to make it happen. : Re: Editing Content - Corporate Response WP : eminence25 July 11, 2013, 11:05:44 AM How does one change the rest of the images on the template?
