Nope, did not help, so sorry, I really am. I’m including a screen-shot of the step you told me to take, which I did. But HOW I should change the order of these menus?? I have no idea. How is one to know?

This does not seem intuitive.

Are there instructional videos somewhere??

Thanks,

Lyn

Also, there seems now to be a menu super-immposed over the main page (again, please see cooljools.com) that I cannot get rid of. I’ve deleted every menu that says “overlay” from the options, but it remains….

Thanks for all your help, in advance!

Hi David,

OK, here is my biggest problem. I am used to a wysiwyg editor using HTML. With WordPress, no gots!!

What I need to be able to do is to access the CONTENT that’s already showing up on my website, i.e., I’ve managed to import a demo with it’s theme, widgets and content, so that all now appears at my home URL (please see cooljools.com). The prob is, I cannot FIND that content from my Page Builder in order to change it.
You say, just open the page editor and click on the pencil symbol, etc. etc., but when I do that, the EXISTING content does not show up. The only thing that opens are a bunch of FORMS that ask me stuff like:
background color:
font style:
footer layout:
… and on and on,… so I have no clue as to how to edit the EXISTING content that I want to change.

For ex., let’s say, I don’t want to change the font, the layout, or anything else about the template I’m using. Let’s say I just want to swap their picture (the one from the downloaded template) for mine. If I could find their photo, it would be easy-peasy, but the editor only gives me more damned forms to fill in (or switch a function “on”/”off”).

Enclosing a screen shot – sorta silly, since there’s no info in it to show you, since, as I say, it contains nothing to “edit”. Again, I ask, how do I access the template and its contents??

Thanks, Lyn

Thanks, David.

But how do I edit the themes I imported? I seem to have not only the template, but also the content!

If you go to my home page (http://cooljools.com/index/?preview=true), you’ll see that the Atelier demo is inserted there, and I have no way of accessing it in my dashboard. When I open that page, I cannot edit the text or change the images. In fact, that demo doesn’t even show in the editor… can’t find it.

Hi David,

Sorry about the hissy fit,… but my frustration level is through the roof. I have followed just about every step at http://swiftideas.com/documentation/ in orderly fashion. I haven’t completed all the menu choices yet,… was hoping I could do that over time, as my retail site is quite large.

Here’s a small example of what I mean by “frustrating”: When I downloaded a “template”, I thought that literally meant what it says, a TEMPLATE into which one may simply insert ones own content, if that’s what one chooses. Tables, rows, columns, header & footer positions,… all that is already pre-designed. So I clicked on the “import” button for a template called “Tilt” (which, BTW, “import” gives you no file path, so you cannot find it afterwards to upload it to your admin dashboard… and when I clicked on the “upload” button, instead of being given the exact file I had just downloaded, it opened my images file in my computer’s hard drive – NOT my WordPress dashboard. Wacky. I finally found the template file by searching around in cPanel, but then couldn’t figure out how to get that over to my WordPress dashb’d.

To This day, I do not know how to access the Atelier demo’s. They’re sitting there – I can see em. God only know how to useem!

I am not creating a blog. I’m creating a retail store. Who knows what is the difference between a “blog post”, a “page”, and a “post”. And what is a “carousel option” for a “recent post”? I see you have displayed the OPTION choice, but I have no clue what that option would actually look like on a live page.

Then, certain of the instructions say things like: “… then use this field to add a class name and then refer to it in your css file.” I’m so sorry, David, but I have no clue how to do this either.

…But I did Google css coding, and I AM willing to TRY. If you think you can help an old gal who is not a techie, I’m soooo willing to learn. Just please do not assume I understand any tech-speak. I pretty much don’t. I do understand English.

Thanks, in advance, for your patience.
