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

[SOLVED] Footer as width as possible (II) - With Backgr: How to?

Hi,

I tried some hours to get this footer:

Sample

I searched the forum, tried everything with no result and nothing will work.

Pls give me some css, html or what ever so the result will (exactly) the same as the sample.
(I`ll use my own height, width, backgr-image).

Thx.

Cya

You will need to add a four column new widget area in HTML Inserts:Body Bottom and then put widgets in them to get what you want. Look at ATO>Add New WIDGET AREAS for instructions. You might also search the treads for more info on widget areas. What I do is create a site that I don't care about and play with things like this as it is a bit complex to give you instructions in a post. Once you have a little experience in building a widget area you will probably just need a little help here and there.

Hi,

thx for reply. I`ll figure it out how it works with the widget-areas.

The most important thing: A footer with a width of 100% (+Background-Image)

Whats about the width:100%; background (of the footer? I read some 'solved' threads, but in my opinion its not the best way and not solved.

Its only a compromise.

As we know we cant split the website in 3 parts: 1 background for header, 1 for content, 1 for footer as seen in some other Themes. I tried it with div or something else behind the footer that expand to 100% width.

Im using Atahualpa for 2 years, tried Thesis (money back -> because the Theme is unuseable) and it would be great if there is a solution for that.

Maybe the Theme Frame has the feature that I`m looking for?

A footer (+ background-image) with a width of 100% is a really needful feature and I`m sure a great number of users would have this option.

Additional Question:

How to make the the buttons of the Category Bar or Page Menu Bar bigger? (height, width)
(e.g.: font-size: 12, button-width:50; button-height:120px;?)

I want to create Buttons like BIG BLOCKS. How to?

Thx in advance

The full width footer or headers in a static width site are really just a background image or perhaps two background images. I'm not sure where but somewhere on these forums someone came up with a nice solution for that. Below is a cheat sheet that Juggledad uses for tweaking menus. If you put this in CSS Inserts it will clearly show you what CSS to tweak because of the bright colors. So you would add padding, margins, etc. until it looks like you want.

Cheat Sheet for working with menus in Atahualpa

/* ================================================ */
/* Page menu background */
/* ================================================ */
div#menu1 {
height: 40px;
margin-top:0px;
background: #blue;
}
/* ================================================ */
/* Page Menu item's background and border */
/* ================================================ */
div#menu1 ul.rMenu {
background: #red;
border: none 0px;
}
/* ================================================ */
/* Page Menu item */
/* ================================================ */
ul.rMenu li a:link,
ul.rMenu li a:hover,
ul.rMenu li a:active,
ul.rMenu li a:visited,
ul.rMenu li {
background: #yellow !important;
color: #000000 !important;
}
/* ================================================ */
/* Category menu background */
/* ================================================ */
div#menu2 {
height: 40px;
margin-top:0px;
background: #green;
}
/* ================================================ */
/* Category Menu item's background and border */
/* ================================================ */
div#menu2 ul.rMenu {
background: #orange;
border: none 0px;
}
/* ================================================== */
/* Category Menu item */
/* ================================================== */
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:link,
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:hover,
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:active,
#menu2 ul.rMenu li a:visited,
#menu2 ul.rMenu li {
background: #purple !important;
color: #000000 !important;
}
/* ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ */
