FAQs

Can I create a fresh CSS file and disable the default one?
Yes. You can easily do it. There have a filter ‘child_theme_css’ which is locating it in functions.php. Now open the custom-functions.php and drop this single line which will disable the default “starter-pro.css” file.

add_filter( 'child_theme_css', '__return_null');

Afterthat you will created a fresh CSS file from scratch and enqueue it. Assume you created a “my-custom-style.css” file and put it in custom-starter/css folder. So write this code in custom-functions.php file:

//* Enqueue your custom css file
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'starter_my_custom_css_file', 99 );
function starter_my_custom_css_file() {  
  //* Loading custom style file
  wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-css', home_url() . '/wp-content/custom-starter/css/my-custom-style.css', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION ); 
}

** Remember: Don’t touch the main folder “starter-pro”. Otherwise you can’t update the theme and you will loss your all custom code.

Can I create a mobile first theme?
Yes. Follow the above process and disable the default CSS file. Now you will create a mobile first CSS file and enqueue it. That’s it.
Can I override the WordPress template file?
Doable. Just drop the template file like page.php, single-portfolio.php, category.php etc in custom-starter folder and theme will load them. Don’t need any extra setup for this.
Can I update this child theme from my Dashboard?
Yes. When I’ll release the new version, you’ll get the update message at your Dashboard. Just click on update button/link and theme will update in 1 minute.

Remember: Don’t touch the main folder “starter-pro”. Otherwise you will loss your all custom code.

Is this theme SASSIFIED?
No. Strater Pro Theme is not SASSIFIED. There have no .sass file right now. But developer can make a sassified skin for his/her client website using my Starter Pro theme.
Can I change the H4 tag with H2 or H3 tag of Sidebar Widget Title?
Yes. You can easily change the default H4 markup of Sidebar Widget Title from Theme Options Panel and do not need to write any code for it. This feature is inbuilt.
Is this theme supporting Flexible Footer Widgets feature?
Yes. You can easily change Footer Widgets number. If you choose “0” then footer widgets will be disable. Otherwise you can choose anything between 1 and 6.

    This theme is really great!
    Options for having image logo, title and description at the same time would be perfect.
    Any ideas when it will be released?

    Any thought on making mobile hamburger icon placeable with shortcode? More than few clients like a simple icon in top corner of phone.

      This is a good point. I am adding this in my notebook. I already created a widget for Mobile menu. So you can easily place it beside the telephone no., social icons or search form. Checkout the Starter Pro – Default Design. There have a “sliding menu” link at right side of the header bar. Click on it and see the effect.

      Cheers

    Very nice starter theme. Pricing is spot on.

    Question is the copyright info in sub footer built into theme or using Simple Edits plugin?

      Hi Mark

      Thank you for loving this theme.

      Copyright info, Post info & meta etc are in-built. So user can avoid the Simple Edits plugin. Also I shall create some in-built features and user can easily avoid the plugin for those features.

      Also I am giving a quick note. I integrated the widget generator class. For this reason home.php or front-page.php file is not require. User can easily create a widgetized home page from Dashboard. But need some CSS tweak for professional and unique design.

      Cheers
