Hi,

I have just purchased X Theme and I have activated Cornerstone & the latest version of WooCommerce on my site but I’m having a hard time trying to find how to build my pages with cornerstone.

If I create a new page and I ‘Edit with Cornerstone’ I can build the page like I expected but when I click the ‘Edit with cornerstone’ link on the pages created by WooCommerce it doesn’t start cornerstone it just takes me to the standard wordpress customizer. Please can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

I see on the home page (http://theme.co/x/) it says it has Full WooCommerce Integration + 4 Unique Shop Designs but I cant see how to use any of the designs or modify my pages.

Please can you help?

Thanks

Aaron

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the very detailed information. To be able to edit the product with Cornerstone, you must allow the product post type to be edited in Cornerstone. You can set this option by going to Settings > Cornerstone > Allowed Post Types. Please check products so that you can see the “edit in Cornerstone” in the product editing page. Please be advise that Cornerstone editing in any post type can only be applied if and only if there is a content preview area. The layout is still dependent on the product page template which is built in X. In your case, if you want to edit the product page, you will only be limited to the product description only (http://prntscr.com/aejoof). Any layout modifications must be done outside of Cornerstone.

We also regret to tell you that WooCommerce demo content were not included in X Addons > Demo Contents. We only rely on the demo data provided by WooCommerce. If you want to have demo contents for WooCommerce, you must import the dummy data that comes bundled with the plugin which can be imported to instantly give you a working store with products to test different WooCommerce features.

To know how how to import WooCommerce demo data and where you can get the dummy-data.xml, please check out the documentation here: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/importing-woocommerce-dummy-data/

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Thanks for the help, this seems to be ok now, I have a couple more questions though if you dont mind.
The first question is specific to the footer. I have gone through all the customization settings to my liking but I cant seem to be able to find where the font colour is for the footer, I have set the footer background to white but as the text is also white you cant see it, am I just overlooking something obvious here?

Also how would I go about changing the layout for the actual pages which aren’t supported by cornerstone? for example the product page, if I wanted the image over to the right side and made a bit smaller for example and maybe have some aditional details next to the image such as the user who has posted the item etc (or any additional information in general)

Thanks

EDIT: Oh Yeah, and if you go to ‘My account’ for example there is a grey bar under the header and at the bottom of the page, can the colour for these be changed & where would I need to look for font size? I see in the customizer there were lots of header sizes but how do I know which 1 is which? or just as an option could the grey ‘bars’ also be removed from this (or other) pages?

Thanks again

Hi Aaron,

The footer links use the global color used for all other links. Some stacks uses static color. But you force it by adding this CSS to Admin > Appearance > Customizer > Custom > CSS.

.x-colophon a{
color: #000 !important;
}

If you wish to change both color and background, then

.x-colophon a{
color: #ccc !important;
background-color: pink !important;
}

And about the image, you don’t need to change the layout. Just use WordPress’s editor default functionality. For example, you can insert an image, but before you do that, it will give you some selection of size and positioning/alignment. If you choose the right alignment, then it will go to the right. Then any content you added after that image will be on left (Text wrapping). We don’t have documentation about this since it’s WordPress’s general feature. You may want to check WordPress’s codex/documentations 🙂

And about the header, it’s a landmark. It’s not part of cornerstone, but it can be disabled by choosing Blank templates under Page Attribute setting, or by checking Disable Page Title under Page Settings section.

Hope these helps 🙂

Hi,

Thanks for the help, I changed the background colour for the footer which I think actually looks better.

I’ll have to read through the WP docs I think when I get some time as I’m still quite new to it, about the grey bar though I disabled page title and tried various templates under the page attributes section but nothing seems to get rid of it, could you possibly have a look for me to see what im doing wrong please? I have changed it back to default for now – the grey bar shows on the ‘shop’ & ‘my account’ page just so you know.

Thanks

Hi,

To remove the grey bar, you can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

body .x-header-landmark {
    display:none;
}

Hope that helps

Hi,

That worked great thanks, I have a bunch of other questions mostly regards tweaking various parts of the theme such as removing the border from buttons when clicking them and changing various colours which I cant find options for in the customizer. Please can you tell me the documentation I should be looking at for there types of customizations? and would it be better to modify the css files directly and upload them via ftp? I have looked over the knowledge base but i’m not sure where to look for those specific type of questions.

Thanks

Hi there,

Those changes require custom CSS.
It doesn’t matter if you add CSS to style.css file from WP dashboard or FTP account.
If you have any additional questions at this time we kindly ask that you open them up in a separate thread. The longer threads get in the forum, they become more difficult to support as they tend to drift off topic and they also make it troublesome for users trying to search for solutions. Keeping threads relevant to their original inquiry ensures that we can keep better track of what has been resolved and that users can more effectively find answers to similar issues they might be experiencing.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for all the help. Sorry for getting off topic, I do this sometimes 🙂 I’ll post new threads in future for other questions.

Thanks
