How To
The Coda homepage overview
Below is a screenshot of the Coda homepage with each of it’s modules explained. More details are in the documentation below.
Setting up the homepage
The homepage of Coda is mostly wider based, with 3 regions available for placement of custom woo widgets in the sidebar, left and right homepage columns.
See our demo’s theme option’s set here – http://woocommerce.test/demo/coda/?options=woo
Setting up the featured panel on the homepage
The home page featured panel can be used to display noteworthy blog posts ââ¬â this is because it is tag based. Once you have specified the tag it must loop through to display posts, make sure you add that tag to the blog posts you want to feature. It will display the title of the post, the excerpt, and the optional, but important, custom image which is the focal point of the panel.
Adding the tag to the post is important, as is specifying the image to use in the « Coda Custom Settings » panel below the WYSIWYG editor on the Add/Edit post form.
Setting up post voting
To activate the post voting feature, you first need to install the I LIKE THIS plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/i-like-this/). Then in settings > I like this, alter the options to match the screenshot below:
