Configuring the front page

↑ Back to top

In the front page below the header, this theme will display the latest posts by default. You can assign a static page to display in front instead of the latest posts. Learn how to display a static page in front →

This way you can have the Home Page template, a default page, that is a page with a right sidebar, a full width page or your shop display in front, instead of the latest posts.

Home page template

↑ Back to top

This theme comes with a custom made template to create an attractive and very functional home page, just like in our demo.

Create a page and assign the Home Page template to it. Learn how to change page templates →
Add a featured image to this page, which will be resized to 2000x700px.
Assign this page to display in the front of your website Learn how to display a static page in front →
Note that the featured image of this page will display in the bottom section of the home page.

To have a video instead of the featured image like in our demo, upload a mp4 video in your Media Manager or somewhere else and in your dashboard go to Appearance > Customize > Theme Options. Add the url of the video in the respective field.

Featured Content

↑ Back to top

The Home Page template will display the WooCommerce product categories by default. Add an image (thumbnail) to each product category, suggested size is 535x535px. You can add a thumbnail in the bottom of the screen when you edit a WooCommerce product category. Add also a description to that category. You can arrange the order categories are displayed by dragging them from the sandwich button in the right of each category.

Alternatively you can have featured content instead of WooCommerce product categories. In your dashboard go to Appearance > Customize > Theme Options and check the box to Display featured content instead of WooCommerce categories.

To feature a page or post, in the bottom of the right column in the editor, check the box to Feature post in the front page. Add a featured image which will be resized at 535x535px.

Video Widget

↑ Back to top

Above the video in the front page there is a widget location named Video Widget. In your dashboard go to Appearance > Widgets and add a grouped block to this location. Learn how to add widgets →

Inside the block, a H2 title, paragraph and html block containing the code below to generate the button

<a class="btnmore" href="url goes here">View collection</a>

Front Page Bottom Widgets

↑ Back to top

At the bottom of the Home Page template there is a widget location named Front Page Bottom Widgets. In your dashboard go to Appearance > Widgets and add a grouped block (first) and an image block (second) type to this location.

Inside the Grouped block add an H2 title, a paragraph and html block to display the button using the code below.

To add a call to action button to the text widget like in our demo use this html code

<a class="btnmore" href="url goes here">Explore our shop</a>

The image you add to the image widget should be square in order to achieve the circle effect. The name and the job title are the caption of the image. Wrap the title inside span tags to give it a different style like this

<span style="font-size:13px;color: #999;text-transform:none">General Manager</span>

Block patterns

↑ Back to top

WordPress has introduced the ability to create pre-designed block patterns that you can use like a block template in any page or post. This theme comes with four pre-designed blocks that you can use anywhere in your website.

What makes block patterns even more special that you can edit it freely and add additional elements to each block. Learn how to add block patterns →
