Designing Pages with the Builder

Watch the video tutorial below to see how to create the demo homepage with the Builder.

Step 1) To create the demo pages using our Builder as shown on our demo:

• In admin, go to Pages > Add New
• Enter page title
• On Themify Custom Panel:
  • Sidebar Option = No Sidebar
  • Content Width = Fullwidth
  • Hide Page Title = Yes
• On Discussion panel, uncheck "Allow comments" to disable comments on this page
• Publish the page and click "View Page" to view the page on frontend

Step 2) Using the Builder to construct the page content and layout:

• From top admin bar: select Themify Builder > Turn On Builder
• First row:
  • To start: drop in a Text module on the first row and enter [themify_event_posts] to show the Event posts
  • To customize the row: hover the menu icon located on top-left of the row > select Options
  • In the row options: specify the background color, font color and link color as you like
• Second row:
  • Now drop another Text module on the second row, enter a heading text (h2) as you like and insert a [themify_video_posts] shortcode to display the Video posts
  • Again, in row > options: specify the background color and font color as you like
• Third row:
  • On the third row: drop in another Text module, enter a [themify_gallery_posts] shortcode to display the Gallery posts
  • In the row > options: specify the background color and font color as you like
• Fourth row:
  • On the fourth row: drop in a Text module, enter a heading text (h2) as you like and insert a[themify_event_posts] shortcode to display the Event posts
  • In the row > options: select Row Width = fullwidth and then specify the background color and font color as you like
• Fifth row:
  • Similar to the above step: drop in another Text module, enter the headings (h2 and h3 text) as you like and insert a [themify_video_posts] shortcode to display the Video posts
  • In the row > options: select Row Width = fullwidth and then specify the background color and font color as you like
• Sixth row:
  • Drop in a Text module, enter the headings (h2 and h3 text) as you like and insert a few [button] shortcodes
  • In the row > options: specify the background color and font color as you like
• Save: don't forget to save the Builder when you are done with each step.

Tips: in the row options, you can upload a parallax scrolling background image, video background, or insert a gallery slider.

FYI: There are more features available in the Builder. Please refer to the Builder documentation for more info.

ScrollTo Row Anchor Menu (Single-Page Menu)

To achieve scrollTo row anchor:

• Step 1) First enter the Row Anchor name in Builder > Row > Options (e.g. "portfolio").
  
  
• Step 2) Then in the WordPress menu link (WP Admin > Appearance > Menu), insert the anchor name as link URL = "#portfolio" (basically add # in front of the anchor name).
  
  
• Step 3) On the page where you want to have the single page menu, select the menu in Themify Custom Panel (the Themify Custom Panel is located below the content editor when you add/edit the page).
  
  
• Result: When the #portfolio link is clicked or when users go the URL with the #portfolio anchor (eg. http://yoursite.com#portfolio), it will scroll to the row where it specified Row Anchor = "portfolio".

Full Height Builder Row

Full height row will set the height of the row in 100% viewport height and the row content will automatically align in the middle vertically.

To set full height row in Builder:

• With the Builder turned on > Row > Options
• Select Row Height = "Fullheight (100% viewport height)"

Disabling the Event post type

If you wish to use a third party plugin to manage the events on your website you may need to disable the Event post type that is included in the theme. To achieve this first create a child theme, then add this to the child theme's functions.php file:

class Themify_Event {}
function custom_themify_theme_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
	unset( $meta_boxes[6] ); // Event Options
	return $meta_boxes;
}
add_filter( 'themify_theme_meta_boxes', 'custom_themify_theme_meta_boxes' );
