Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Help Customize the Page Menu w/ Images?

Hello
First off, thank you to everyone in the forum for continued insight and assistance. I started a new site and am using Atahualpa since it's the best WP theme around.

My current site is: http://www.bigswingingchicks.com/

I am looking to add a bar under my header image that looks like the one on this site: http://www.uproxx.com/ that links to past posts on the site w/ images. Namely, I am looking for something similar to the featured posts w/ images seen on that homepage (like where it says "trending" "Buzzing," "Features" Etc on uproxx homepage.

Sorry if this is vague--I don't know what this feature is called so couldn't search for it.

Any assistance is much appreciated

Look in the Add New Widget Areas section of the theme options. A multi celled widget area code placed in the Configure Header Area box will give you some widget areas where you could use a plugin or code in a text widget to add the images and links you want.

Thank you for your response. I went to "add new widget area" and see the example codes (which is what I want to do) but when I try to click on 'Style & edit HEADER AREA' nothing happens. I tried to find "Configure Header Area" but don't know where that is .

Should I add that widget code to the "editor" or to one of the "horizontal bars"?

Please advise! Thanks in advance.

Awesome, thank you so much. Now I know I am asking a lot but to get it to link to previous or featured posts, do I just add html code to the new widget areas? Or is there a plugin?

I really appreciate your help!!!

Try doing a google search for 'wordpress plugin featured post' and try some of the results you fine - you should also search at wordpress.org.

Remember one I like might not fit your needs
