Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Selection from lists with constraints?Thank you so much for taking the time to give me some pointers and clues. I am a WP wimp but I have used Yellow Pencil to edit stuff when I did not know how to do the CSS (and where to put it) and I think Using a booking plugin and changing the labels is a great idea.
Now, why didn’t I think of that?
I might try an e-commerece plugin too, though I have never used one before: this might help getting a bit more knowledgeable too.
Many many thanks.

In reply to: [Polylang] Is it possible to edit OVER a page and its contents?That’s brilliant. Thank you very much!
Yes it does. A lot. It’s so much easier if they can be.
Thank you very much.

In reply to: [Custom Post Type UI] How to create and use a first custom type postThanks a lot Michael.
I think he suggested custom posts because I enquired about the repetitive nature of creating each clock individually, having to clone it and start again for the next figure. I had asked him if there was such a thing as a Format Painter, such as you find in Office products, or the equivalent for Visual Composer. That’s why he suggested this would be better served by custom post types.
I think I get the fact that the plugin just simplifies the creation of custom post types. It’s just a bit overwhelming with all the options, so I was hoping I would get to see some basic video, but I guess I’ll understand more if I check out the docs online.
Anyway, thank you very much for your patient and comprehensive response. Once I get into custom post types, I think this plugin will become indispensable.

In reply to: Author posting without WP Admin/Dashboard?Thank you very much. That’s really useful.
The back end posting objection comes from the fact that I did not advise it, simply because I knew nothing about it. While I’ve got to grips with WP to create a decent site structure, I really have no idea about posting and the blog side in general. Often, it comes down to knowing what things are called: now that I know it’s called back end posting and does not give admin rights to the rest of the site, I can start learning.
The same goes for your search recommendations. I looked under CMS which overpowered me with irrelevant (for this project) functionality. But now I know what I am looking for is a front end editor.
So thanks for your patience. I got the answer I needed an a useful lesson in WP terminology in the process.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [OceanWP] Change menu font size and styleJust wanted to say thank you as well.
Thank you both.
I did download the blank theme and I will start palying with it after Christmas. I had already taken all the chapters for the tutorial so it’s time to dive In before I start asking other questions.
Slobodan, am I right in thinking LiveComposer was a paid plugin on CodeCanyon before but is now free? I will buy the paid add-ons and donate if that is the case.
I hadn’t seen the whole post. Thank you for taking the time to explain fully. I don’t feel up to dealing with the Titan Framework just yet.I know that ultimately, I will need to tackle it but for now, I think you have just confirmed that I need to start with a theme to customise. I have indeed checked out the LiveComposer themes but I would still value your recommendations. The requirements I know I do have is ease of use (if that is indeed different from theme to theme) and responsiveness. Short of that, I am happy to hear your recommendations.
I know I have written this before but I really do appreciate people taking time to post answers. Means a lot. Thank you.

Yes, that would work for me. You would have to get feedback from other users but I could definitely go for that.
I think users with a bit of experience find LiveeComposer easy. I am stuck at a very basic level (where do I deal with headers and footers, what do I still need to do in the WP Admin panel etc. That’s really because I am a WP newb too, but I would be happy to pay that kind of money for limited support.
Thanks Slobodan.
Thanks a lot.
It’s a shame I missed it when it was a plugin for sale (support was included) but it looks like there’s a great community building up around it. I am new to WP and I tried several drag & drop builders and Live Composer is my favourite to start off with.
Thanks again for your help.
