[Resolved] Layout questions (Sidebar)

[Josef]

Hi there!

I started using WordPress yesterday and installed the generatepress template.

My website is for my uncle who is an engineer and want just a static website (only pages, no blog function).

– How to move the logo on the left side of the header? When I add a logo it’s right under the site identity name.
– How to have page specific sidebars? When I have the layout global… or Content / Sidebar it always shows the sidebar from the template settings. How to have different sidebars on different pages?
– Is there a way to modify the bottom line (Copyright for my uncle)
– How to sort the navigation in specific order?
– Is there a way to have the navigation always on top even when scrolling?

I’m sorry for those beginner questions. I try to learn as fast as possible 🙂

Anyway: thank you very much for this nice template and for all supporting answers!!

Sorry, another question:

How to edit the text in the editor for pages? For example I would like to add a heading but I just can select bold and italic 🙁

[Josef]

Update: I was able to sort the navigation manually 🙂

Dear Tom! Thank you very much for your support 🙂 !! Every hint worked except for copyright (I’m thinking about buying some addons in the future).

Best regards
Josef

Weird about the copyright – did you add your code using these instructions?: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-php-functions/

Hi Tom,

I used the PHP code with the plugin code snippet to add it to WP.

I’m still building and testing all the functions and some plugins… it makes fun and I’m sure that I have some questions in the future 🙂

Thank you very much for your great support!

[Tom]

You’re welcome 🙂

Hi Tom,

sorry, I have another question 🙂 I have my Logo back below the site title and tagline.

But there is a lot of free space between the logo picture and the navigation. Do you happen to know how to remove the space between logo and navigation? 🙂

Thanks a lot!!!

[Tom]

Hi there,

Do you have a link to your website? Would help to see what’s causing the spacing 🙂

[Josef]

Dear Tom,

yes, the link is: http://www.ingbüro-meisel.de

Another question is: could I add a second logo? I would like to have one below the title (like the blue one right now) and one logo on the left side near the title?

Thanks a lot

[Tom]

If you have the Spacing add-on, you can reduce the spacing in the header by going to “Customize > Element Spacing”.

Otherwise, you can try this CSS:

.inside-header {
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

You would have to use our GP Hooks add-on to add a second logo.

However, I suggest combining all three elements (logo, site title and blue background) into one main image. It will be more responsive that way.

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

[Josef]

Ok, I see 🙂 I think I need some more plugins 🙂

For your information: The CSS code didn’t work to remove the space between logo and navigation 🙁

Do you recommend adding the title “Ingenieurbüro Meisel” in a picture? But then search engines does not recognize this title as text…. is this correct? If yes, I think a two logo solution could be better?

[Josef]

Hmm… ok, nevermind. I will put the second logo just in one image as you recommend!

But I still have the issue with the free space… 🙂

[Tom]

Add your CSS using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-css/

Adding CSS to the core theme will result in you losing those changes when you update the theme.
