    Hi,

    First off, awesome theme!  I managed to get this one up and running in no time at all!  Question: How do I add a column in the Presentation page?  I have 4 images there and need to add one more.  I was looking at how to do a custom CSS but can’t find where to change it.  Appreciate the help!

    Thanks,

    Emily

    You can’t add another column with CSS.  You need to get down and dirty and modify the mantra/includes/theme-frontpage.php file, but it isn’t gonna be easy.

    Thanks Zed!  I guess I’ll have to roll up my sleeves.

    Just curious – is this also true for slides?  As in, can I get more than 5 slides?

    Ed, you can have more than 5 slides if you switch from custom slides to post-generated slides.
    Change the value of “Select the content you want to load in your slides: … “

    Thanks Zed, I’m still learning all this and have to remember to just try the different settings 😉

    Ok I gave it a go, I copied the column4 code pasted it after column 4 and changed all the 4’s to 5’s,

    I then saved the new php file and renamed the old one.old

    I get the following error,

     

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in /home/elitelea/public_html/main/wp-content/themes/mantra/includes/theme-frontpage.php on line 291

    If you got that error, you didn’t copy/paste the right chunk of code. Also, as the theme saves, sanitizes and reads data saved in MySQL tables, just copying some code won’t help. You will have to replace all variables with actual HTML that you want to appear in the column.

    Basically it would be a lot easier to just wait for us to implement that someday ( not in a very distant future)
