How to add a menu on the left hand side

Hi

I am using the Bizway Pro theme (bilalmirza.ca). I am contemplating putting a menu on the left hand side to list (and link to) our services. Is that possible if so how?

When I put the services on the top menu... it goes into two line and looks bad. So other options I could explore are

1) reduce text size of home page top menu bar
2) get rid of the search from the top menu

Thanks,
Nazia

 

Hello,

Go to the header.php file present in your theme directory and follow the instruction shown in the image given below.



This will solve your issue.

If you still want to reduce the font size of menu then paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

#menu .ddsmoothmenu li {
font-size: 14px;
}
 

You can adjust the value of "font-size" as per your requirement.
This will solve your issue.

 

Okay this is great. It worked for now....

I still want to add a menu on the left hand side. To accommodate this, I am willing to reduce the width of all my sliders.

 

Hello,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that with our theme unless you custom code something up. Sorry.


Thanks & Regards

Hi Gourav,

Tell me more about "custom code something up". Where do I go about finding this custom code. Are there people that will do this for me? Do you know how much it would cost?

I want to post a new thread but I can't find the link/button "post a new thread" ... so I will try positing it here.

I am using the BizWayPro theme. My website is bilalmirza.ca. In the widgets section I want to do two things

1) have links to the services, not ALL of the pages. How do I get the page ID for the home page so it does not display as a link in the first footer widget area.

2) there is not enought space between the map (in the 3rd footer widget area) and our mission statement (in the 4th footer widget area)

Hello Nazia,

1. For your first issue you can use Custom Menu Widget.
Firstly create custom menus from the Appearance > Menus panel in your dashboard and then
go to the Appearance > Widgets panel in your dashboard and drag & drop Custom Menu Widget in the First Footer Widget Area
and then select custom menu that you have created.

2. For your second issue you can paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

.footer_widget img{
width:100%;
}

This will solve your issue.

 

Thanks, got that to work... now the next issue:

In our about us page (http://bilalmirza.ca/?page_id=6) I want to be able to list in a table - pictures and text about our team. I am having trouble with formatting:

1) Alignment
2) Bolding text (name)
3) making smaller text for degrees
4) removing space (line) between name and position held


Please help

Thanks,
Nazia

 

Hello,

Firstly paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

img.alignright {float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em}
img.alignleft {float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0}
img.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto}
.alignright {float:right; }
.alignleft {float:left; }
.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto} 

This will solve wrapping text around images issue.


Now, go to the Pages > Add New pages panel in your dashboard and paste the code given below in the text editor.

Code:

<img class="size-medium wp-image-12 alignright" style="border: 0px; margin-top: 0px; background-color: #eeeeee; margin-bottom: 0px;" alt="about us - wall sign  mirza chartered professional accountant" src="http://bilalmirza.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/about-us-wall-sign-mirza-chartered-professional-accountant-300x100.jpg" width="450" height="150" />

This will solve your issue.

For text formatting issue you can try TinyMCE Advanced plugin.
Download it from the link given below and install it from the Plugins panel (Plugins ->Add New ->Upload) in your Dashboard.

How do I make webpage NOT appear on the the menu bar?

I want a webpage "Why Choose Us?" only accessible through the column headings... but when I publish it... it shows up in the menu bar.

 

Hello,

Go to
Appearance > Menus
Create a custom menu and only add the pages that you want to show in the navigation bar.

I want to add a contact us form on the home page as the 3rd column featured area. How do I do that?

my url is : bilalmirza.ca

 

Hello,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that with our theme unless you custom code something up. Sorry.

But you can display contact us form in the Footer Widget Area.
Firstly install Contact Form 7 Plugin in your dashboard.
After that,
Go to the Appearance > Widgets panel in your dashboard and
use Contact Us Form Widget in the Fourth Footer Widget Area.

 

Thanks,

I installed the plug in. Created a contact us form.

However, I don't see it in the Widget area to add to the fourth footer widget area.

 

Hello,

Go to Appearance > Widget
Drag "Text" widget and add your plugin shortcode there and drop it in the footer widget area.


Thanks & Regards
Gourav Shrivastava

 

Don't quite understand... but that's okay...we decided not to put it in the widget area after all.
