Site Structure:
Header
- Header was created using Astra Pro Theme Customizer. All edits to the global header will be done within the theme customizer.
Footer
- The site global footer was created with Elementor Theme Builder. To edit the global footer + bottom bar, in the wp-admin sidebar under Elementor, go to Templates > Theme Builder. Click on ‘Global Footer Template’ and Edit with Elementor.
Blog Archive Page
- The blog archive page is a static page that can be edited from the Pages list.
Archives Template
- This template can be found in Templates > Theme Builder. This template is a catch all for category, author, date, comments, etc. archives pages generated by wordpress. If by any chance a user ends up on one of those pages, this template will display.
Single Post Template
- There is a template in Templates > Theme Builder that styles the layout for blog posts. This layout will pull in dynamic content into the single blog post (i.e. featured image, post title, published date, pagination, back to archives button). Global layouts to blogs like adding a sidebar can be adjusted in theme settings > sidebar > blog post layout.
- When adding a new post, clone an existing post and edit the content with Elementor. DON’T FORGET TO CHANGE:
- Post Title
- slug
- Featured Image
- Check proper category check-boxes if applicable.
