[Resolved] Elements templates

[chris]

Hello,

I’m rubbish with code, and I’ll looking for some element templates that I can use, really I only need to pop and image in the background with some chunky text over the top. but I’m finding it really hard to get right. Do you guys know if there is a library I might be able to look at and grab the code from? thanks in advance

Hi there,

Are you referring to the header elements?

If so this should help:

Hey Leo,

Thanks for getting back to me.

kind of yes, but I have to say the examples aren’t the best. Is there anywhere I can get some? Even if I have to buy some? I’m finding it so limiting at the moment I’m considering changing themes.

Thanks

Can you provide an example of what you are after?

Hello mate, thanks for getting back to me.

Maybe something like this?
https://www.cascadepools.co.uk/
Where it says “beautiful swimming pools?”

Thanks

Will be using a slider as background or just a background image?

Are you familiar with the Gutenberg editor?

I’m just using a background image and I’ve not heard of Gutenberg editor.

Also is there any strange rules around using elements on the homepage? I’ve set some up on other pages and they work fine. (I’m using display by exact page) but for some reason when I switch the page to the homepage it doesn’t like to show. do you know if there some extra setting I need to look a when adding elements to the homepage?

thanks

I do however use WPBakery Page Builder

If you prefer to use WPBakery then you should be able to build that exact thing within the page builder without using the element module.

The front page requires this display rule:
