Each Our Hometown theme has a number of prebuilt locations available for menus. Menus can also be placed in any available widget area, but the prebuilt areas have additional styling applied to them. Available menu spots include: “Main Menu” is your main menu area. “Secondary Menu” is the space below that. Left Utility and Right Utility are the 2 menu areas on the top fixed bar (if you have that […]
Logo Image
It is not often thought about, but eventually there may come a time when you will need to change the logo on your website. Maybe you’ve undergone a total re-brand. Maybe you’ve just changed your color scheme. Or, maybe you just like to shake things up with some seasonally-themed artwork in the header. Whatever the reason, changing your logo is extremely easy! Simply navigate to your homepage and activate the […]
Hiding WordPress Authors on Article Pages
Most customers prefer to hide the “WordPress Author” field from their article pages in favor of the standard Byline that is extracted from the PDF edition. The WordPress Author is the WordPress user who published the article on the website, and will usually display as ops@our-hometown.com (or the e-mail for whatever user published the article) unless they have changed this setting in their profile page. For full service customers, there […]
Customizer > Site Colors
Site colors can be chosen on the Site Colors tab under the Customizer, either using hex codes or a draggable color selector. If you need to do more customized colors for specific areas of the site, you can also apply colors via the Custom CSS section.
Customizer > Logo & Image Options
Each theme contains varying logo options. Bernard contains a main menu and footer section logo. Clementine contains a mobile / fixed header menu logo and a main logo. Ford contains a left-aligned header menu spot and a main menu spot. You can also place images in the footer widget areas to add additional logo positions in the footer.
Customizer > Themes
Our Hometown offers a variety of themes, that differs slightly from theme to theme. Most of the differences can be seen in the header and menu designs. All layouts and widgets and slider styles are available across all themes. All sites are extremely customizable though. Talk with your Our Hometown representative about which theme will work best for your needs and about your styling options.
