    Can you walk me through how to add a Flexslider to a Blog Post?

    arjundesai.org

    Also – I love in your preview theme (http://themes.designorbital.com/contango/) that the grey background permeates the whole website, not just the fringe. How can I do that (i.e. the grey outside comes in between the “squares” of headers?

    Hi Arjun,
    Following points might be helpful to you.

    Grey background permeates the whole website, not just the fringe.

    I think you are talking for Wide Layout. Just follow the steps,

    • Go to Appearance > Contango Options
    • Select Layout Settings tab
    • Choose Wide Layout and Save Changes

    Now you are in Wide Layout mode, Now you can beautify or adjust it according to your taste by applying,

    • Suitable Texture by going to Appearance > Background
    • Upload your High Retina Logo i.e 560 x 150 px via Appearance > Header

    Enjoy

    Home Page Settings

    Just follow the simple steps,

    • Slides, Services and Clients are controlled via Custom Post Types in the Contango
    • So, you can create any above fragment just like a normal post
    • For Example, to create a slide,
      • Go to Slides > Add New
      • Set Featured Image as Slide and other settings at this panel
      • You can create unlimited slides in this manner. You may read readme.txt file for recommended image dimensions
    • Now the Home Page or Front Page is completely Widgetized .

    Play a little bit and you will see the power of Contango.
    Don’t hesitate to post your questions in the forum again.
    Take Care

    Arjun, Thanks for your appreciation.
    I have seen your blog, you have applied Wide layout beautifully. Why not to upload your name as Logo to increase its beauty ?
    Thanks once again.

    What’s the best way I can do that? My design/graphic skills are limited at best. Is there a site you know that I do that (on the cheap?)

    Also – For the Flexslider to a Blog Post, is there a good image I can use as guidelines?

    Steve – I am trying to update to 1.2 Contango – I keep getting this error:

    An error occurred while updating Contango Pro: Update package not available..

    Any tips? Also – will any of my customizations be removed?

    Arjun,
    DesigOrbital Pro themes cannot be upgraded from WordPress Admin Panel as they are not hosted on WordPress. Follow the simple steps,

    – Download Contango 1.2 from your members area
    – Upload to the themes directory by overwriting existing contango folder

    Customization will not be removed.

    Hmm I tried uploading but it says

    [SIZE=12px]Destination folder already exists. /home4/adesai13/public_html/wp-content/themes/contango/[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=12px]Theme install failed.[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=12px][SIZE=15px] Do I need to do something different? Or do I have to activate a new theme, delete old Contango and reupload?[/SIZE][/SIZE]

    You mention themes directory, how do I get there and the upload/overwrite?

    I use Host Gator as my site hosting.

    Sorry.. my first time using WP.org. thanks for always being so prompt in answering my questions! :)
