Landing Pages

[skay]

I need to create opt-in landing pages, without the navigation tabs etc. The idea is to have just the offer and the branding; the branding can link to the site home page. I’m not seeing how to remove the site navigation in the Builder. Any tips? Thanks.

Hello,

So the Layout Builder isn’t going to have anything to do with the surrounding site-wide theme elements. The Layout Builder allows you to setup the content within content area of your website.

Something like this would be a customization you’d need to make from your Child theme. One approach could be just to remove actions based on the page you’re on like this:

function my_landing_page(){
	if( is_page('landing') ){
		remove_all_actions( 'themeblvd_header_menu' );
		// Whatever other hooks you want to remove ...
		// Or maybe add an action that displays some unique logo somewhere ...
	}
}
add_action( 'wp', 'my_landing_page' );

Another approach could just be to hide elements of a certain page with CSS.

.page-id-123 #access { display:none; }

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
