Thank you so much for the quick response.

I have a few more Qs:

1. In Appearance–> Menus, is there a custom menus box that will allow you to create custom menus? And, is there a Theme Locations box that allows you to set one of your custom menus for use as your Primary Navigation?

2. In Appearance–> Menus, is there a Pages box that allows you to add Pages you’ve created to one of your custom menus?

3. In Appearance–> Menus–> in the custom menus box, can you arrange the menu items you’ve added into the order you wish to display them by dragging and dropping them on top of one another? And, can you create sub-menu items by dragging and dropping items “hierarchically”–that is–dragging an item into a slightly right-tabbed position below another item?

4. It looks like static Pages created in WP-Elegance do not automatically display dates/times of publishing the way Posts do. Is this correct?

I really appreciate your help and time with all of my questions! I hope they prove helpful to others checking this theme out.

WordPress does not allow you to assign categories or tags to Pages; only Posts. There may be a plugin available in the WordPress plugin directory that adds that functionality, but I’ve not looked for one.

Hello,

I am creating a business-type website (not a blog) and am excited about WP-Elegance because I think it would be great for what I am doing, given the alternative “business” homepage layout you offer (thanks!!).

I’m wondering if you can help me envision how this will work so I can make sure WP-Elegance is right for our needs before I buy it. If so, I would really appreciate it.

I would like to create several Pages in WordPress with our content (as opposed to Posts). I want to group the pages into their own categories and subcategories, have those categories/subcategories displayed in the Top Nav menu bar, and have visitors access our Pages through the Top Nav category menu.

Will this be possible? Perhaps it’s an elementary question, and I’m sure it’s easily answered if you already have WP-Elegance and are able to see/use it. But I ask because in WordPress, it seems like Categories are designed to be used/associated with Posts, not Pages. And I think I will really need to create Pages with our business-type content, not Posts.

So, can I build a site mostly of Pages, associate those Pages with Categories/subcategories I’ve created, display my Categories/subcategories in the Top Nav menu bar, and have my Pages accessed through that Top Nav Category menu bar using WordPress and WP-Elegance?

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your insight.

Apologies Tanya. I did answer your questions, but somehow the answers ended up in the wrong place. I’ve posted them again below.

1. On your premium edition, what does it mean to have “Unlimited use on all your sites”?

It means you can use the theme on any number of sites that you own.

2. Will I be able to incorporate “Share this” icon options, so readers can “share” on their facebook & twitter accounts from every/or each individual post if they want to?
I’d really love them to have the option to do so…

Yes, there are several plugins that will add that functionality for you very easily.

3. And lastly, Do I have the option not to upload any advertisments or ads on my blog if I don’t want to but change my mind later?

Advertisements are strictly optional. You decide if you want to show them or not and you decide what ads you’d like to show.

4. I really want a photo background with the fade overlay & these exact colors. Just like this link below:
Is this possible to achieve with your Elegance blog? Or will my color options be limited in any way?

You can do an image background if you like, but the content/page background is white. If you really want to, I can tell you how to make it transparent like the example site, but from a design and usability standpoint, it’s something I’d strongly recommend you NOT to do. It makes the copy too hard to read, and that will cost you readers.

Thanks so much!
