Theme branding settings

Leave a reply

There are four 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
  • page’s favicon

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 Theme logo type. 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:meetgavernwp-themebranding2 You have to choose an image logo and specify its sizes.
  • Text logo – likewise in the previous option, some additional options appear:meetgavernwp-themebrandilogo 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).

The last section of theme branding settings is connected with the favicon. Page favicon is a small graphic, that is associated with the page or Web site. You have to specify direct path of favicon.ico file or use the Upload Image button.

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:

meetgavernWP-backendbarnding

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:

meetgavernwp_backend2

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:

  • theme’s branding
  • administration panel branding

Thanks to theme’s branding options, a user may specify:

  • specify page’s logo
  • specify theme’s footer content
  • decide about displaying a framework logo under page’s footer
  • specify page’s favicon

More information about branding options for a theme can be found in an entry devoted to a “Theme branding” tab in an administration panel.

Administration panel branding options allow to define:

  • a logo displayed next to a theme’s name in an administration panel sidebar
  • a logo visible over a log in form to an administration panel

More about branding options for an administration panel can be found in an entry devoted to “Back-end branding”  in an administration panel.
