update: Not all themes are created equal! I tried 20 loser themes until I hit upon one that let me customize the fuck out of my theme (home) page. You would laugh if I told you the name, it's not even popular. And beaver builder? I LOVE it! Helped me figure out layout, lets you put the div id and everything... Yes, a kickass theme + a kickass builder is unstoppable in wordpress. I had to cycle thru alot of shit until I found the gold, but it was worth it.
One reason alot of the themes were getting on my nerves is they reserve too much space at the top for your menu, thinking that if you don't have a menu you are clearly mad.
Then, they also tend to reserve space on the sides without letting you go full bleed to the edge of the page. If I set the width at 1280, and I'm not allowed to go all the way to 1280 then I'm uninstalling your theme. I think most of the themes assume you are stupid. Seriously. Cut it out with the nanny shit. Let me go full bleed if I want to.
What else, there were a few other annoyances that the supposedly "good" themes wouldn't let you do.
- Sounds like it'd be quicker to just open up a free code editor and with some simple html/css grid and light php, have yourself a website done as you wish.shapesalad
- Make your own themes (_S is a great start) and customize away.ArmandoEstrada
- ^^ I have done that and I have my website working (sorta) but I still need to import it into wordpress bcuz of the plugin support.cherub
- I have my front end INPUT form box working on my wordpress site, but I can't get the output to talk to my php routine to query the database to check what wascherub
- entered into the formbox matches with the database. My php code is probably flawed, fails early on, I'll post the code in a bit.cherub
- i'm not a coder but i can read. everything is documented with examples, you just have to try.sted
