When creating an e-commerce website using the Woodmart theme, the banner section is usually implemented through a slider, with each slider capable of containing multiple slides. These slides automatically rotate when the homepage is accessed. However, setting up the ideal slides is a key challenge. As the saying goes, "the devil is in the details," and achieving the desired effect requires careful attention to those details. Each slide can have a featured image set as the background. Certainly, the featured image can be directly used as an advertising visual, with relevant content overlaid on top of it. For instance, suppose you have a well-designed backdrop image that fits nicely on the right side of the banner, while the left side contains descriptive text and a purchase button. You can create this slide using the Elementor editor. First, extract the base color from the image and create a solid color image to use as the featured image. Add this solid color image as the featured image to the slide, then create a container to insert the backdrop image. After adjusting the left and right layouts, the effect may be as follows: Obviously,the the overall layout is not harmonious. Attempts to fix this by adjusting the margins and padding might not effectively resolve the issue. Although you could crop the backdrop image in a graphics software and re-upload it to achieve a fix, this approach becomes time-consuming if you encounter this issue in bulk. So, is it possible to remove the featured image background and instead add the background color code "#C6C5C5"…

Online websites can be classified into two types: dynamic and static. Personal blogs also fall into these categories. Correspondingly, webpages accessed through browsers can be dynamic or static. From a reading perspective, users typically focus on the final presentation rather than the implementation method. However, for operators, the choice of implementation method is an important consideration. To better understand these concepts, let's examine their practical applications. Personalized advertisements on shopping websites and social media are usually implemented dynamically. For instance, when you log into a shopping website, the homepage recommendations are based on products you have previously viewed and purchased. When you add an item to your cart, the system updates the cart and checkout page content in real-time, including recommended related products. Essentially, different users see different content after logging in. Similarly, personalized ads adjust according to your browsing behavior and interests, showing products or services relevant to your current interests. In contrast, static websites provide a different experience. They can be compared to physical retail stores with the following characteristics: It can be observed by the analogy that static websites remain relatively fixed and do not change based on different user roles. This is similar to how static website content updates need manual modification and publishing. Next, let's delve deeper into the definitions of dynamic and static webpages. Static webpages are generated by HTML code, and once the page is created, its content and display do not change. On the other hand, dynamic webpages include not only HTML tags but also specific program code that enables interaction between…

Life is full of vibrant moments, and I hope to capture and record those brilliant instances. The calm, uneventful days quietly slip away, often fading from memory. Only by writing, by recording with intention and breathing freely, can we find peace in our hearts. Document your every focus, the winding roads you've taken, and the muddy paths you've tread. How can they not bear fruitful results? The sweat once shed has vanished without a trace, long since carried away by the wind. But if they remain in words, that beautiful landscape won't feel so lonely. I hope we can meet in this exchange of knowledge, in this sharing of hearts. With you, with me, with others, it won’t feel too lonely. The blogging journey has already begun. Without alarm, without joy, we record the simple moments. Sharing knowledge, exchanging wisdom—this moment becomes unique. **Treat Blogging as a Career:** Often, we can't pursue what we truly love. Making a living and following one's passion don't always align. But personal blogging offers an opportunity—you can earn while enjoying what you do. Choose a field you excel in and are passionate about. Start your blog and approach it as a career. Set aside some free time to put your ideas into action. You might soon discover that treating something as a career isn't as easy as it seems. Combining profit and passion can be challenging; they may even conflict. In fact, leisure time often leads to indulgence. We often consume content rather than produce it. However, disciplined individuals can excel at this. With…

Technical blog readers can intuitively sense the importance of code highlighting. To provide a better reading experience, I considered how to design an aesthetically pleasing code block environment. In the Gutenberg editor, the right sidebar under the "Block" section features a "Color" option that allows you to set font and background colors. Initially, I wondered if setting the background to black and the font to white could achieve a highlighting effect. In the editor, the effect is somewhat satisfactory. However, upon saving and viewing it, the code becomes difficult to read due to insufficient contrast. Here’s how it appears in the editor: However, when displayed on the web page, the code is nearly unreadable. So, after some searching, I found a method to highlight code using Prism files. It's simple. Go to the Prism website, download the necessary JavaScript and CSS files, and then enqueue them. Here are the detailed steps to achieve this: 1、Choose the version and the theme Visit the Prism website and select the Minified version and the dark theme "OKAIDIA," which is a popular theme. The effect is as follows： 2、Select the language bar Besides the default settings, you can select additional languages as needed, such as PHP, Java, and others. 3、Select Function Plugins There are various plugins to enhance code display, such as one-click copy and paste, keyword highlighting, line numbers, underlining, and more. Typically, selecting "Line Numbers," "Show Language," and "Copy to Clipboard Button" will cover most needs. By doing this, you can download the prism.js and prism.css files. 4、Add Files to Your Child…

Division of labor in the market allows professionals to do their specialized tasks. After teaching the method in the previous article, this article will provide a ready-made solution. In this article, we will demonstrate how to implement the lightbox function for images in a WordPress child theme. Below are the contents of the files in the child theme root directory: 2、style.css file: 3、Add the following content to the footer.php file: Add this directly after the header comments, which are as follows: In addition, create a folder named /assets/css/ in the root directory of the child theme, and copy the lightgallery.min.css and lightgallery.min.js files into this directory as described in the previous article "Implement the lightbox function for images through code". By following these steps, you can successfully implement the lightbox functionality for images.

Reading some blog articles can be frustrating when images cannot be clicked to enlarge, significantly impacting the reading experience. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. There are several ways to enable image enlargement. One common method is using a lightbox. A lightbox is a modal image gallery that displays images and videos in a fullscreen pop-up while dimming the rest of the page. In WordPress websites, there are three main ways to implement a lightbox: Using a Theme That Supports Lightbox If your theme natively supports lightbox functionality, this is the ideal scenario. However, some themes do not support lightbox or require additional configuration to achieve the lightbox effect. Installing Plugins Installing plugins is a convenient method, but it has some inherent drawbacks. Installing too many plugins can slow down your website and negatively impact performance. Therefore, a good rule of thumb is: if a feature can be achieved with code, avoid using a plugin, and regularly delete unused plugins. Adding Custom Code Implementing the lightbox effect through custom code is an efficient and flexible way. Here are the detailed steps: Testing in a Development Environment Using the default WordPress theme Twentytwentyfour as an example, we will add the lightbox functionality in a child theme. This ensures that our custom modifications won't be overwritten when the parent theme is updated. For child theme setup, refer to the relevant section in 《How to Customize the Navigation Menu Style Through a Child Theme》. Step 1: Setting Up the Child Theme Create and activate a child theme: Define the asset…

Writing an article naturally aims to attract readers. The ability to provide sufficient value often distinguishes an excellent blog from an average one. As a platform for value sharing, personal blogs highlight the importance of interaction between the blogger and readers. Effective communication necessitates a reliable medium. On a personal blog website, we can create a Contact page to serve as this medium. Typically, the “Contact” option appears in the homepage navigation menu, leading to a static "contact form" page. The workflow is as follows: Click on the "Contact" menu item in the homepage navigation, which will display a contact form. Fill out the relevant information in the contact form to communicate with the site owner. The submitted information is sent in real-time to the site owner's email via email. To achieve this functionality, we need to break it down step by step. If you have programming experience, you can opt to manually create the form and develop the processing logic yourself, which requires knowledge of HTML and server-side languages.Alternatively, you can use plugins to simplify the process. Popular plugins in the market include WPForms, Contact Form 7, among others. Using WPForms as an example, you can install and activate the WPForms plugin directly from your WordPress dashboard to swiftly create a contact form. Within the plugin's control panel, you can easily build a contact form through drag-and-drop functionality. The free version of WPForms is typically sufficient for general requirements. （1) . Install and Set Up WPForms: Click on the WPForms menu on the left side of the WordPress dashboard.…

When installing WordPress on a cloud hosting service, there are many themes to choose from, both free and paid. I tried several free ones, but none were quite suitable. I feel the process of selecting a proper theme was quite tedious. Eventually, I found a minimalist open-source theme that I could customize to my style. Now, I am preparing to document the process for future reference. The navigation menu bar on the homepage looks a bit crowded, so I wanted to increase the spacing between menu items. How can this be done? There are three main methods: This open-source theme provides configuration options in the WordPress dashboard, allowing for corresponding adjustments, but there is no option to adjust the menu spacing. So, I decided to do it myself and chose method 3, customizing through a child theme. What is a child theme? In simple terms, a child theme is a WordPress theme that inherits the functionality, features, and style of another theme (the parent theme). Why use a child theme: If you make changes directly to the parent theme, It becomes difficult to manage due to the large number of files. Reinstalling or updating the theme can also lead to loss of custom information. A child theme allows you to save the changes you make and enables you to modify or add to the parent theme's functionality without affecting the original (parent) theme. This means you can customize the theme to your needs without losing the original theme's functionality. Steps to follow: Ensure that the parent theme's folder name is…
