Hello Guys
I’m starting with WordPress. I’m quite exited, but also a little bit confused.

I have following plan:
I have six different pages. No I want, when a user comes on my site, that he only sees the widgets and six different pictures.
And by clicking on the pictures the user gets on a linked page.

Is that even possible?

Thanks for your help
Cheers
Michael

Themes with an optional grid page template, where the featured images displayed in the grid link to pages include:
- Edin
- Goran
- Motif
- Sela
To display only the images you would empty the title fields of the child pages after creating them (the title slugs will remain) and leave the page content empty.

The images displayed will be featured images, added to each child page.

Hi Michael, in addition to using a theme that supports child pages, you could do this with almost any theme using a static homepage, just by uploading six images and linking them to different pages. Just wanted to throw this option out there since it means you have quite a wide variety of themes to choose from.

Some links you might find handy:

Hello
It’s already me again.

I now have found a template which fits quite good. But it only has one menu.

Now my question:
Is it possible to change the html, php, or css code from a template?
For example if I want to add an other menu, oder if I want to filter the menu according to the current page?

Kind regards
Michael

@ michipellaton,
I don’t believe you can add such elements with CSS, but rather only modify existing elements or features. For example, If you want two or three menus, you’ll have to pick a theme with two or three menus, respectively. An extra sidebar can not be added to a theme if the option isn’t already present.

CSS can also be used to move, remove, or hide features (sidebar, header, menu, etc.). I am uncertain as to whether it can be used to add features.

@michipellaton, Harmonic only has the one primary menu. You can use a Menu Widget in a Widget Area on your site. As @musicdoc1 says, adding another menu isn’t something that can be done with CSS only.

We cannot edit the theme files themselves here at WordPress.com since we all pull off of the same theme files. Having things structured like this means that we can easily and quickly do updates and bug fixes since we only have to update one set of theme files.

Each menu item in your menu has a unique menu id, so you can hide certain menu items from certain pages. You do this by using the unique page/post id, which can be found in the opening body tag for the particular page along with the unique menu id CSS class and then using display: none to hide that menu item on that page. If you wish, give that a try, and if you run into problems, just let us know.

No items found.
