Remove design cloud template from site

[pollenbird]

Hi, I have installed a design cloud template on my site but can’t remove it now - help!

If I look in x>template manager, I can’t see any files to remove?

Thank you

Hey @pollenbird,

Regretfully, you can’t remove what’s added by the Design Cloud. You’ll need to manually edit the pages it has added and Theme Options it has configured including *Theme Options > CSS.

Hope that helps.

Arrggh. I’ve only just started on this website - would it be easier to remove x and re-install to give me a ‘clean’ installation? Can I do this?

Or can I just delete the pages and create new ones without any of the design cloud elements?

I just can’t seem to change the colour of the background or the header background in the design cloud template I’ve downloaded. I’ve attached a screenshot highlighting the areas I can’t seem to modify.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @pollenbird,

Uninstalling the theme is not enough, since the templates, contents, and customization are saved in database. What you could do is re-install your Wordpress entirely.

But yes, you can delete the pages if you prefer, and as recommended, remove the custom CSS as well since some design import has it.

As for the background, you can change or remove it from Theme Options > Layout and Design > Background Options, and at your builder’s background settings as shown here

As for the header background color, it’s a custom CSS, please remove this one from Theme Options > CSS

.x-navbar {
    border-bottom: 0;
    background-color: rgba(223,217,195,0.85);
    box-shadow: none;
}

Or simply change its color to your preferred one, removing it will have bad contrast with the rest of the design.

Thanks!

Thanks. I can’t remove the background image using the theme options and when I open background settings, I don’t have the page settings option - see attached screenshot.

Thanks

Hi @pollenbird,

That’s weird, would you mind providing your admin login credentials in the secure note for further checking?

Please make sure the account is an admin.

Thanks!

Hi,
I’ve saved my login details on the original post as couldn’t see the key on the latest one - hope you can see it ok?

Thanks

Hello @pollenbird,

The Page Settings is not in X > Theme Options. Have you notice that only the Home and About page has the background image? This is because the background images were added to the pages only and not globally. You will need to edit each of these pages and find the Page Settings to remove the background image.

To learn more where you can find the Page Settings, please check out our documentation here:

• https://theme.co/docs/page-settings#common-page-settings

Hope this helps.

Thanks…unfortunately your link just opens up your screenshot - can you send again please?

Also, I can’t see the page settings option to edit?

Thanks for your help

Hey @pollenbird,

Sorry I posted the url of the image.

Here is the documentation guide where you can find the Page Settings and learn more about it.

Thank you - I found the image in the wordpress set up of the page!

But why can’t I see the page settings option when I click on settings in cornerstone?

Thanks for your help

Hello @pollenbird,

When you are in Cornerstone builder, click the Gear icon in the lower left panel:

When the popup modal appears, find the Page Settings tab and scroll to the Meta Settings.

Hope this helps.

Thanks but if I follow these steps, I cannot see the page settings - see screenshot (that I also posted further up the thread). Thank you.

Hello @pollenbird,

You are not seeing it because you are in X > Theme Options. Please do the following:

1.) Go to Pages > All Pages.
2.) Find the Home page and edit it in Cornerstone

Or while viewing your homepage and logged in, click the X > Edit Page in your Admin Bar.

Once you in Cornerstone builder, find the Gear icon and the Page Settings should be present which I have already illustrated in my previous response.

Hope this works out for you.

[pollenbird]

Ahh found it! Thank you!
