Speakers Page

Hi, I am creating a website for an event we are having and purchased your theme for it. I am wondering if it's possible to have 3 separate pages for "speakers", one with a category of bands, one for performers, and a third for vendors. I tried looking through the documentation for that and the sponsors page but I couldn't find anything. I am probably just missing something obvious.

My site can be found at http://brownstock.thetonybrownfoundation.org

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, you can add more speakers pages, like here:
https://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/fest/?cat=87

but you have to add them to separated categories, then you have to duplicate you category-speakers.php file and change it into category-slug.php, where the "slug" is a slug of your category. Then you'll probably also have to edit these category files to display only "speakers" from certain category, by changing this line:

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => $tmp['name'], 'posts_per_page' => 100 );


you can add "cat=cat_ID" parameter to display only speakers from one category.

Thanks for the reply, I will try this when I get home tonight. Just one more question, is there a shortcode or something to get the speakers and sponsors pages to display they way they do on the demo with the animation and everything?

So I still can't get things to show up correctly. Can I PM you a login and see if you can see where I am going wrong?

Sure, send me a PM with the access, then I'll check the issue.

PM sent, thanks for helping.

Actually not sure why but the messages are sitting in my outbox and not my sent messages folder.

You didn't edit files properly, please check i.e. category-bands.php file (I've modified it).

This line should be changed to display speakers only from category with ID = 3.

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => $tmp['name'], 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'cat' => 3 );


please add other categories ('cat' attribute ) for rest of your categories.

Thanks for that, I will adjust the other pages. However the bands page still does not seem to be showint anything. Any idea why? Also, what about the sponsors page? Sorry for all the questions, but your setup documentation doesn't say anything about setting these pages up, rather frustrating for a paid theme.

Because this theme allows only to display speakers page - exactly as on our demo website, other modifications (like from my answers above) are generally theme customization, so there's no documentation for that.

That didn't answer my question about things not showing displaying, all you did was defend the documentation. That's what I want, regardless of the customization, there is nothing that tells me how to set up a standard speakers page or sponsors pagelike on the demo. Let's pretend there are no separate categories, how do I go about setting up those pages like it is on the demo?

Ok, but what things exactly are not displaying? i.e. the perfomers are here: http://brownstock.thetonybrownfoundatio ... erformers/
the same layout as on the demo:
https://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/fest/?cat=87

If you want to display them on the frontpage (GK Speakers widget) you should use the proper slug "performers" and you should have at least 6 performers, it's described here:
https://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/fest/?p=941

The sponsors are described here:
https://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/fest/?p=924

Full code for the sponsors page:
(it's enough to repalce images)

Code: Select all

hi there, can you tell me please how to get the speakers page to look like this

https://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/fest/?cat=87

( that is with the photos displayed inside the circles)

Thanks Keith

Hi,

It's default view for the speakers category, so it's enough to add new speakers and speakers category should be displayed exactly as on the demo: https://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/fest/?cat=87

hi sorry i dont understand what you mean, this is the speaker page i have at the present.

http://irishpokercup.com/players/

maybe an easier question is
how do i view the speakers category page?

hi i see now how to view it in speaker/categories and click view, but it is now showing the default view. you and see here, thanks http://irishpokercup.com/category/players/

sorry it is NOT showing
the default view. you can see here, thanks http://irishpokercup.com/category/players/

because this view is for speakers, if you've changed speakers to players, you have to change the filenames, please check this article:
https://www.gavick.com/blog/change-cust ... fest-theme

hi thanks i got that sorted, can you advise how i change the size of title text (players) formerly "speakers" to a smaller size please?

see here http://irishpokercup.com/category/players/
also i presume this page is too wide and thats why the sidebars are not appearing on it?

thanks and regards Keith

Hi,

Please check your GK Speakers settings, you should find there "Full width custom post category" option which may be disabled.

Regarding the Players font, please add this custom css code:

Code: Select all

.speakers-page header h1 {
   font-size: 30px;
}


thanks is the override.css page i put this code into? i have tried both
.speakers-page header h1 {
font-size: 30px;
}
.players-page header h1 {
font-size: 30px;
}

am i correct in assuming it is this this page i want to edit category-speakers.php?

Custom css code always add to css/override.css file or use custom css plugin.

Please use this code:

Code: Select all

.speakers-page header h1 {
   font-size: 30px;
}


I can't see it on your page: http://irishpokercup.com/category/players/
