Banner as header for Category page

Recommended Posts

saundebn

I'm pretty new to WordPress and Platform Pro, so forgive me if this is a newb question. I'm creating a very simple site for students to use as a simple portfolio. Most of the pages are static and look like this, with a banner element at the top. http://cl.ly/5qf2 The one dynamic page is the portfolio, which will just show all the posts with the portfolio category. It currently looks like this. http://cl.ly/5qmi As you can see, we get the text of the banner element, but not the image. How come? And aside from that specific issue, how can I adjust what PlatformPro elements appear on a category page? Thanks.

For the banner element, did you upload the banner image? Also, for the category page, there are no settings for customizing what appears in there but it's possible to change elements within the main posts page and a default page.


Please read the docs before posting. Please do not private message me unless I ask you to.

Before this gets all negative, I wanted to make sure and say thanks for your reply. Genuinely appreciated. Yes I've uploaded the image and it displays correctly on every other page except this one. It seems like either the category page uses a different template than the default, or something is broken on the category template. I am, quite frankly, baffled that there are no options here. Can that really be true? I thought the whole point of PlatformPro was to use it as the basis of your own custom theme. So every PlatformPro user has a category page that looks exactly like their default template? Starting to think I wasted $95...grrr....

here's the standard posts pages template setup: http://www.screencast.com/users/cshoffmann/folders/Jing/media/b9d163e3-db33-41f5-adad-0f3e1ebb3864 Now, if you want to customize the template you drag the section above the content you want. You can tell it to hide by default. If you are wanting a different image for your header each time then you will need to add the dynamic header plugin and code it in in the functions.php file. That will render a different image on each page as you assign it. The template set up of the Site Header is global in Platform Pro. Platform Pro is limitless in what you can do. Out of the box it looks great. If you want to do more with it it is possible. For $95 it's a hell of deal in my opinion.
