A few questions about Pro and its usage

Support
#1

Hello,

First of all, thank you for providing such a comprehensive tool, it seems to have great potential.

  1. We’ve just recently started developing out own website and we were wondering if there are any drawbacks for using only the PRO header tool to build the website. We’ve used both Cornerstone and Pro and we just love the flexibility that Pro offers.
  2. Is there a way to add a gallery made with “The Grid” into a content bar from the header builder?

The example we’re working on is here: http://designuncles.com/page-1/outnabout/

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Tibi

Hi Tibi,

You could try adding the shortcode. I am not 100% it will render, but add the shortcode save it and test on the live version, not on the builder.

Let us know how it goes

Hi Joao,

I’ve tried pasting the code in a content container or even a widget but it doesn’t seem to work. Do you know of any way we could insert a gallery into a bar?

Also, are there any drawback from using only the Pro Header Builder? D:

Thank you ~

Hello @Javid,

Thanks for writing in! Any plugin you’re using that provides you with a shortcode to output can be used in the builder. You should be able to take that shortcode and place it into a Content Area element, which is effectively a blank canvas for you to output anything that you need. If the content is not rendering in the builder, try saving and going to the actual live frontend of your website to see if it’s there. Sometimes a plugin’s code could have a conflict with the live preview, but we’ve tested this very technique with plugins like Revolution Slider and others which are very complex and have been able to see them rendering in the preview.

Regarding building out your entire website using Pro, this is certainly technically possible, but keep in mind the physical markup of your content. Pro’s header markup is output into the site <header>, so all of your content will technically be considered to be part of the header. Visually you can achieve anything you want here and definitely do this if you wish, but structurally this may potentially create some issues with how your site is “seen” by search engines or assistive reading devices, but I can’t speak to that with any certainty.

Hopefully that helps to point you in the right direction. Cheers!

Hi @kory

I see the issue with the matter and I’ve decided to go with cornerstone as to not come across any other issues D:.

Thank you all for your help. I might post a few more topics as I come to grips with it.

Thanks again.
