Theme Management

  • Lets say I downloaded a theme similar to this
    https://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/23567.html

    How would I go about putting the pictures in the slots meant for them and making them thumbnails to a page relevant to a picture?
    This is clearly not a post. Is this something that has to be done in the CSS or Html or can it be done through the manager in the page section?

    Thanks as always

  • I am having a similar problem and answer to this would be great

    It really depends on the theme’s backend. Some themes provide an admin feature that will allow you to do what you’re asking without having to touch any code, which sounds like what you’re looking for.

    Since I’m not familiar with that theme in particular, I would ask them directly. Try their support chat.

    well, its either going to have a theme options menu that you can go into to change up the photos if it’s a well coded theme

    Or you’ll have to upload your images to the themes images folder, and change some code in the css or one of the php files to point to the proper image location. It won’t be a hard tweak, and if you are paying money for a theme, it sure oughta have detailed instructions

    No plug-ins involved?

    no i definitely wouldn’t think so…

    Too bad they don’t give a lot of detail before you buy…it’d be nice to know what you are facing before committing

    the requirements say you need to have photoshop (GIMP is free, and also opens .psd files. That hints that youo may have to do some image editing…..I’m not sure how much tho)

    NOTE–that says website template, not wordpress template….To Be Clear…..downloading a theme similar to that which is WP ready should be easy to adjust pictures…..that specific template would not be

    Also if its not a plug in, what are plug ins like this for:

    ?

    well…if you find a theme that is set up to have ad placement in it, or images like the one you showed….. the code is already in place. All themes have image folders, thats where the components of the theme are kept. Making a picture a link that leads to a page would be as simple as switching out one url for another within the template.

    Again, I can only be generic, as every theme is different. They are all coded in a manner that makes sense to the author.

    There are many themes out there that have slots for you to insert your own photos into slots.

    That plugin is to add rotating ads to your site. It’s just an easy way of managing rotating ads. Instead of hard coding that into your theme, you use that plugin and then only need to insert one line of code into your theme to call to that plugin.

    I would definitely recommend looking around at some of the free themes out there, finding ones that look appealing, installing them to see what you can do. Don’t pay for any themes for sure, until you are sure you are able to use them. Try to develop a basic understanding of how themes work, how to do minor edits, etc….

    HI,

    I’m so new and clueless. How do I find the theme’s folders. My theme is here but I don’t know how to access it. I put it in the url after wp-admin but that didn’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
