    Many thanks for getting back to me.
    I am happy to just have the one content area I have, I don’t think I need a new section at this stage.

    My issue is that the one content area disappears from the home page after you click on something else and return to the homepage. I would like this one content area section to remain visible whenever the user is on the homepage whilst there is content in it (and then when we delete the urgent content it can go until next time). This seems to be a problem on all browsers I’ve tried. I tried just refreshing when returning to the homepage and this doesn’t help (plus I don’t think we can rely on users to do this anyway).

    Our URL is: https://abingdonmusic.org.uk and the site is live.

    Any help gratefully received.

    It might be easier to give you the URL as it is something that changes.

    The site is now live:

    Home

    Go to the hompage and the ‘Covid-19 update’ is near the top, above the slider
    Click on a different page
    Return to the homepage – the Covid-19 update has gone, but we could do with it staying.

    Any help gratefully received
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    What we need is pretty much what we’ve got now, I don’t think a screen shot will help (and I can’t get it to attach here).
    The issue is that the ‘Content Area’ (which is what we want – we have placed it just under the Menu) on the homepage is only visible when first arriving at the website/homepage. If the visitor goes to a different page on our website and then returns to the homepage the Content Area is no longer visible.
    Is there a way this can stay (unless the text on the page is deleted by us, of course) on the homepage and still be visible when the visitor returns after looking at a different page?
    Thanks
    Helen

    Thanks for your help with this.
    Nearly there, I think!
    I can now get the urgent information where I need near the top of the homepage. Strangely, it is only there the first time of visiting the homepage within a session (I’ve tried on several different browsers), so if you go to Home, then select a different page, then return to Home, once you return to home the urgent information box has disappeared (it is not on the homepage at all, not even further down). Any ideas? It would be good if it could stay so that people can refer to the information/read more option whilst they are exploring the site, not just when they first arrive.

    Thanks,
    Helen

    Thanks for the email.
    The ‘Content Area’ still doesn’t appear as an option when following the links as you suggest.
    I’ve emailed yyou a screen shot.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi, just following up on our email exchange as I am keen to get our website live – it is so close.
    I have tried adding text as you suggest to the home page but I can’t get it to show on the published home page. Any ideas?
    You mention re-ordering, for example. I can’t see a content section listed in the customiser.
    I have tried updating the theme.
    Any help gratefully received,
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    That sounds just the sort of thing. Thank you.
    Can I put the text on my current homepage (LABELLED front page), even if the title at the top of the page is not ‘Home’?

    Also, I can’t see the content area section in the customizer, so can’t get the text to appear on the homepage yet.
    I have tried updating the theme but still can’t see how I see the content area in the customizer to choose/re-order.
    Any help gratefully received.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    We have added a content area section in your theme. Now you can add content in your home page and shuffle it according to your need through section reordering present in the customizer.

    To add content follow the below steps:

    Dashboard >> Pages >> Home page(Home page template) i.e front page >> Add reqiured content in this page.

    Please check it.

    Many Thanks

    Hi again,
    Just to add my URL is: https://abingdonmusic.org.uk/

    We would need to be able to edit the text of the bar/box very easily too.
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    That’s the idea, thank you.
    I would like to have the option of playing with colours and fonts if possible. Please would you be able to let me know where to find this in your options or, alternatively, the code to access this part of the site via additional css? I know how to do the font/colour part of this but don’t know what the 2 components are called (we would ideally have the lower ‘Music for Everyone’ a little larger and red, for example)
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I can’t get a screenshot to paste in here so I can only explain verbally but will try to do so in relation to the ‘Academic Education’ example site homepage (as on your preview).

    So, on your example site:
    Under the slider, there are 6 coloured boxes on the left hand side (3 x2) – I have the equivalent of these and wish to keep
    At the same point, on the right, there is some text Lorem ipsum… (a heading and then a paragraph).
    Underneath this paragraph there is an orange box that says ‘See Course’ and it is this box that is the same as I’d like to get rid of (mine doesn’t say anything).
    I believe it is within the ‘Why Academic’ editing section.

    Any help gratefully received
    Thanks

    in reply to: Hyperlink text colour – is it possible to change? #12013
    Jim Hines
    Participant

    Hi,
    It’s every time there is a hyperlink,
    So, for example, all the ‘Directory of musicians instruments are light orange (too light to read)

    The links to documents (e.g. within ‘Adults – Abingdon community orchestra’) are also light orange (too light to read)

    I can’t get the screenshots to paste in here, sadly.

    It is any time there is a link in the text.

    I need to experiment a bit with what looks right – I would have thought a darkish blue/dark orange/red for either before or after clicking (consistent throughout). It would be good to know how to change it rather than just have it fixed, if that’s OK. I’m happy to make minor edits in the stylesheet code if I can be pinpointed to where this would need to be.

    The only way I can change it globally is by changing body colour in the Typography settings but this then changes lots of other colours, even when I have specified a different choice of colour elsewhere (e.g. menu bar headings/course titles on home page) – it overwrites everything else.

    Any help very much appreciated.
