Thread: Several Questions on Vantage

Several Questions on Vantage

Hi I have several questions regarding Vantage

1. Can I remove the "Near" search feature on the search bar?
2. Can I add this Wordpress image slider on every page including the homepage and put it right under the search bar?

3. Can I remove all the business listings on the homepage? I just want to have the image slider mention on question 2 right under the search bar.

Thanks very much for answering them.

1. Any modification to the default theme such as what you describe can definitely be done with some customization. We would recommend reading this documentation if you are planning to modify our themes.

2. AppThemes does not officially support third party plugins, which means we cannot guarantee that every plugin will definitely be compatible with our themes.

3. Again, this is something that could technically be done, but going back to answer #2, if the plugin doesn't work with Vantage then you could be looking at a lot of customization work, not only with making changes to the theme layout, but to actual functions in order to get the plugin working as well. Thanks :)

Can you recommend any plugin that is similar to the one I want that you know will work with Vantage?

Unfortunately nothing I have seen mentioned in the forums as being tested by any of our customers at this time. If this is a feature you're particularly interested in and cannot find a plugin which may be completely compatible, you could also considering contacting someone from our certified partners page about the possibility of implementing this. Thanks.

So to remove the "Near" search function all I need is to create a child theme and find the codes in css and remove it? Also do the same thing if I don't want any business listing on the homepage?

Essentially that is how it works. You can find some tutorials specific to creating a Vantage child theme on our site for more information also. Thanks.
