[Support request] Brand Theme – Problem with creating new pages

[sophia]

Hi, I have a question about the Brand theme. I decided to create a new page – and it not the same width as the home, and additionally the left bar menu does not work at all. Is this theme supposed to only be a 1 page site?
Thank you,
sophia

Hi Sophia,

You just need to set the page to Full-width through the Content Container settings. Reference: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/content-container/

In what way is the sade bar not working?

For reference, can you provide the link to the site in question?

You may use the Private Information field for this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-premium-support-forum/#private-information

Hi Fernando, I tried all of that, in the end I disabled all side bars to make it somewhat presentable. Site url below

I think I am going to need two menus with this theme?

[Fernando]

Are you going for Hyperlinks on your menu?

Or, are you okay with just regular menu items?

[sophia]

Hi Fernando,
I thought I was going to be ok with one page with the scroll feature- but I now want to hyperlink to a new page. That is when I discovered the problem – I don’t know if this is possible with this theme.

Hi Sophia,

Try adding a new menu item with the new page’s URL, eg. set the menu item’s URL to /honda-cost-and-component-re-design.

Let me know if this works 🙂

HI Ying,
The link will work, my issue is getting back to the home page. I will send the url below

my issue is getting back to the home page

Not sure I understand the issue, how about adding a menu item with the homepage link?

[sophia]

The default sidebar is visible on the left – and you cannot use it from this page at all – they are all dead links. I don;t see how people will understand that. The best solution I could come up with was to have no sidebar – and have one button linking back to the site. I wrote into support bc I thought you may have a better solution.

HI Guys , is there a solution for this, or is Brand supposed to be a 1 page theme only? PLease check link below.

Hi there,

the designer behind Brand did build it for a Brand Guidelines site, which would commonly be a single pager.
But it can be used for a multi page site.

If you want it to be a multi site however, it would mean that ALL links in the Navigation need to be full URLs. Otherwise they won’t work on the new pages you add.

Thank you for the clarification David.
