[Resolved] Creating info boxes

[Michel]

Hi all,

I used to work with the Pagelines DMS framework before porting my site to Generatepress and I would like to know how to reproduce a specific type of layout feature.

Basically, the framework offered iBoxes. You would fill visual editor fields where you would select a Font Awesome icon (or a photo), a title and then HTML for text and other elements.

I am especially adamant about using Font Awesome, plus information in boxes for a neat look.

Do you have a recommendation to make in that regard? Should it be a plugin or another resource such as bits of Bootstrap? I don’t mind diving into something difficult to implement if it gets results.

Hello,

GP has built-in FontAwesome icon library so you can add them with HTML. See this post for more info: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/menu-social-icons/

As for boxes, it can usually be done with some CSS.

If you can provide some examples of what you are after we can probably help you out some more!

Font Awesome mixed with a plugin like this would work: https://wordpress.org/plugins/lightweight-grid-columns/

A page builder like Elementor might be worth checking out as well 🙂

Well, I experimented with bits of Bootstrap CSS and it seems to do what I wanted:
