You can, of course, display posts lists inside (static) pages, but the theme’s job is generally taking care of how the content looks, not where it comes from or which one it is. It is more of a task up for plugins to provide additional widgets and/or shortcodes to let you choose what content is displayed where beyond the default functionality of WordPress.
You can go along two paths for this:
– search for a plugin that lets you customize categories appearance (header/background) separately from the rest of the site and make use of WordPress’ built-in post filtering capabilities.
– search for a plugin that lets you display posts list inside pages – but since this is beyond default functionality the plugin will also be in control of the posts’ appearance there.If you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.
Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.Hi,
The recommended featured image sizes are those set through the theme options:
– height is directly configurable;
– width is computed based on site width and posts layout;
Images are normally resized and cropped to size, so if the originals have a very different aspect ratio from the set values, then more cropping will occur.
Cropping position can be adjusted or disabled entirely (with the possible side effect of blurry or distorted images, depending on how numbers match up).If you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.

1. The dismissal is saved theme-dependent and user-dependent. It will return if you switch themes or use a different user.
2. The footer is technically correct since the theme is actually using Kahuna as the theme. Verdant is an extension of Kahuna and customizes functionality and appearance, and we didn’t make it change the footer information.
3. I cannot find any instance of ‘arcanum’ in Verdant’s files. Note that depending on the translation method used (plugin and location of translation files), if you have more than one of our (parent) themes installed some translation files may be shared between themes.If you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.

Since you didn’t include a link to your site, I cannot check your particular setup.

Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.Hi,
Are you looking to link to a specific site section (different from the landing page) or a specific location on the same page (or the third case, a combination of both).
To link to a different page, simply enter that page’s URL in the CTA link field. If you want to link to a specific location on a page (either the same or a different one) you need to use or also include the anchor link.
You can find more info about the different kinds of links and how they work in this WordPress support page:

It is automatically applied to the landing page static banner image (when one is used). It will also apply to the slider when using our Serious Slider plugin and the slider is set to use the Cryout Theme appearance style.If you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.
Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.The limit between how much room there is for caption or how much of the image’s sides gets lost outside the screen is very broad and depends on many other factors: how large the caption is, how tall the slide image is, how wide the site is, what screen width is the site viewed on (the resize/crop is dynamic and adjusts according to screen size).
You can of course force specific sizes or behaviours with CSS, but both the behaviours and the CSS will vary depending on the current configuration and desired outcome.

Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.The currently published version of Kahuna is missing the compatibility XML file which tells Loco how to manage the translations.
This happened because WordPress.org introduced an additional filtering/blocking layer to theme uploads around the time we published the last update. This filtering blocked themes from containing non-approved.xmlfiles. The list has been expanded in the meantime to include Loco’s compatibility file and the next theme update will re-include it.For now you can manually import this configuration to Loco using the steps and configuration below, then you can proceed to edit the theme as usual.
Loco configuration for Kahuna (normally contained by the loco.xml file):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <bundle> <domain name="kahuna"> <project> <source> <exclude> <directory>cryout</directory> </exclude> </source> <target> <directory>languages</directory> </target> <template> <file>languages/kahuna.pot</file> </template> </project> </domain> <domain name="cryout"> <project name="Framework" slug="cryout"> <source> <directory>cryout</directory> </source> <target> <directory>cryout/languages</directory> </target> <template> <file>cryout/languages/cryout.pot</file> </template> </project> </domain> </bundle>If you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.

I cannot claim there are no invalid links in the documentation (there are simply so many that some are bound to be invalid or break in time with subsequent changes).
The broken link should point to this documentation section: https://www.cryoutcreations.eu/docs/themes/plus/companion-plugins/#cryout-featured-contentIf you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.
Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.Hi,
That’s how the color control options are designed to work in Kahuna – the sidebars’ background color applies to the individual widgets to create a block-like visual appearance.

Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.Hi,
If you’re referring to vertical spacing, that can be adjusted by controlling the menu items’ line height:
#access ul.sub-menu li { line-height: 1.1; }Default value is 1.8.
Horizontal spacing is more difficult to tweak.

Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.For security reasons, the plugin has to pass all submitted data through the appropriate sanitization filters. The URL fields are sanitized as links. Your URLs are seen as incorrect by WordPress and are automatically prefixed.
You should use domain-relative URLs like
/home,/shop, however these will need to contain the full parent path to work, eg/full-path/to-my/shop.If you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.
Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.Hi,
Are you referring to the general site layout (content / sidebar(s)) or the posts columns layout in posts lists?
The site layouts can be controlled through the general layout option for the whole site and then specific layout options for static pages (through the meta options).
Posts layout is configurable through the separate option – which applies sitewide for all posts list.
The Plus edition of the theme adds additional layout control options for both features.

Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.In the 1.2.1 update we changed the default value of the header content option from just title to both logo and title (to remove the need for the extra step of changing this option after assigning a logo image on the site).
if you had a logo image already assigned that wasn’t displayed before but you now want to disappear, remove the logo image or turn the option back to “Site title” to hide the logo.

The slider has several preset appearance styles selectable in its configuration. Beyond those you’d need to apply various CSS tweaks to customize appearance.

Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.The image displayed in the theme by default on the landing page (homepage), below the menu, is not the configured header image but a static slider placeholder which is configurable from the theme’s options under Landing Page > Slider.
Due to technical limitations the initial sample image is not visible in the customizer panel. To replace it simply assign a different image. To remove the sample image, assign any other image in its place and then remove it.

Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.Hi,
I think we may have discussed this through the support service as well. In case we didn’t and I’m mixing up questions and for anyone else wandering the same thing I’ll try answering here too:
The theme’s slider section visible on the homepage is an integral part of the landing page feature.
The theme does not include this section on other site sections because it already has a header section which displays more information than just the header image (specifically when header titles are used). Replacing the header image/titles section with a slider poses some structural and functionality questions that may be easily answerable for a specific site but cannot be resolved globally for everyone using the theme.If you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.
Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.Hi,
After having the plugin installed you’ll need to create a slider (or have the example one added to the site) to be able to select it in the theme’s options.
See our dedicated slider tutorial for the specific steps:

Please check the available documentation and search the forums before starting a topic.For obvious reasons (maintenance and saving on some headaches ;-)) our themes share a lot of the code between them (within the two sets – classic and customizer-based, more specifically). Choosing between themes from the same set is mostly a visual choice.
WordPress’ blog page carries the specific functionality of displaying all posts from all categories in a (descending) freshness order. While having one such section makes total sense, I’m not sure how two or more would work – do they simply display the same posts in the same manner or how would they be different?
If the intended outcome is to display different posts filtered by a criteria (category? tags? author?), that’s already possible with WordPress’ built-in various category / tags / archive sections.We’re definitely not perfect (but one can hope…) so we can’t really decide for you what to theme to chose. The best we can do is answer specific questions about what a theme can or can’t do, and also how.
