I have installed X-Theme now with Ethos and want to place the “Essential Grid” (plugin) fullwith direct above the Masthead – like “Post Carousel” would be, or below the Masthead. Where must I place the shortcode to do this.

Thanks

Chris

You will want to add your code in wp-header.php located in wp-content\themes\x\framework\views\ethos. Place your code above

<?php x_get_view( 'ethos', '_post', 'carousel' ); ?>

or below

<?php x_get_view( 'global', '_navbar' ); ?>

Try to experiment on the location. If you’re using a child theme, copy the modified file in the same directory in your child theme’s folder.

Hope that helps. 🙂

Thanks for your reply. I dont know how to integrate the shortcode for my “Essential Grid”. What is the exact syntax I have to write in my “wp-header.php”?
… the shortcode which I would enter in a page is: [ess_grid alias=”featured_events”]

Thanks in advance

Chris

Please create a Child theme using THIS GUIDE, then add the wp-header.php from x/framework/views/ethos/wp-header.php to YOUR CHILD THEME/framework/views/ethos/wp-header.php. You can follow THIS LINK for more information.

Then open up the newly added wp-header.php file and add your plugin shortcode into the file using do_shortcode function.
Please CLICK HERE for more information on that.

Thank you.

The following do_shortcode function is great for displayng one shortcode (ex. Google map) across all pages. However, is it possible to insert a different map on select pages?

For example: State map on home page, city maps on interior pages, and district maps on posts.

= = = = = MY CHILD THEME/framework/views/ethos/wp-header.php = = = = =

<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_header’ ); ?>

<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_slider-revolution-above’ ); ?>

<header class=”<?php x_masthead_class(); ?>” role=”banner”>
<?php x_get_view( ‘ethos’, ‘_post’, ‘carousel’ ); ?>
<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_topbar’ ); ?>
<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_navbar’ ); ?>

<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[google-map-shortcode-example]’ ) ?>

<?php x_get_view( ‘ethos’, ‘_breadcrumbs’ ); ?>
</header>

<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_slider-revolution-below’ ); ?>
<?php x_get_view( ‘ethos’, ‘_landmark-header’ ); ?>

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Well actually you can use THIS FUNCTION and use if statement to decide where to add your shortcode using that do_shortcode function.

You can find the ID of your page or post using THIS guis.

Thank you.

first of all GREAT WORK!!!

Im really enjoying working with the Integrity.

Question:

I would like to show Essential Grid only on certain page above header and cant figure it out how. I followed above steps and managed to integrate Essential Grid above Header but its shown on all pages.

Here is php:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/INTEGRITY/WP-HEADER.PHP
// —————————————————————————–
// Header output for Integrity.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_header’ ); ?>

<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_slider-revolution-above’ ); ?>

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ess_grid alias=”Style 2 – Even Grid”]’) ?>

<header class=”<?php x_masthead_class(); ?>” role=”banner”>
<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_topbar’ ); ?>
<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_navbar’ ); ?>
<?php x_get_view( ‘integrity’, ‘_breadcrumbs’ ); ?>
</header>

<?php x_get_view( ‘global’, ‘_slider-revolution-below’ ); ?>
<?php x_get_view( ‘integrity’, ‘_landmark-header’ ); ?>

Please help,

Regards,

Damir
