Theme branding settings

webmaster — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:05:23 +0000

There are three key places connected with branding in a theme based on GavernWP framework:

page’s logo
page’s footer
framework’s logo under a page’s footer

There are the following administration panel options responsible for these elements:

In the case of a framework’s logo, it is only possible to switch it on/off.

Footer content is defined in Footer content option. It will be displayed at the bottom of the page, usually on the right side.

The majority of parameters are connected with a page’s logo. The first step in a logo configuration is to choose a logo type; there are the following logo types available:

Defined in the CSS code – a logo is defined theme’s CSS style as an element having cssLogo class. In this case, except CSS code modification, no other settings changes are needed.
Image logo – after choosing this option, some additional options will appear: You have to choose an image logo and specify its sizes.
Text logo – likewise in the previous option, some additional options appear: Theme logo text option specifies whether main logo text and the signature below it will be taken from WordPress settings (from WordPress settings) or will be specified by a user (Own). In the case of choosing the second option, two additional fields to fill in will appear:
None – in this case, a logo will not be displayed.

Note: None option is useful when you want to define a logo code in theme’s code yourself – then, it is enough to add your own code to an appropriate file (usually it is: layouts/header.php).

In order to adjust stylistics of an administration panel to a GavernWP page, there are some options allowing to adjust the look of administration panel elements to a theme of a page given.

You will find the following options in a back-end branding tab:

The first two options are connected with a logotype displayed on a log in page. You have to choose an image which will be used as a logo and then insert the size of the image chosen. In this way, you may achieve, e.g. the following log in panel:

The remaining two options are connected with theme’s login displayed in a main menu of an administration panel:

We recommend to use an image in 16×16 size – bigger or smaller images may cause problems with menu layout.

GavernWP makes accessible options allowing for theme’s branding. Branding options are divided into two groups:

Administration panel branding options allow to define:

a logo displayed next to a theme’s name in an administration panel sidebar
