A step-by-step to achieve the skin 2 demo home page layout

  • p4n

    said

    Is there any way someone can write up a simple step by step for achieving the same skin/layout as the skin #2?

    I am pretty good at coding wordpress but this theme seems to be out of my league! I do not seem to ubderstand how it works yet I guess.

    There are only a few things necessary. For example make sure you’re setting your header options for the items below as show:

    Page style: Curve

    Showcase background: No container

    Those two options are the main changes to the header. That gives it the curve but without the enclosed showcase so it’s open and blends directly into the page.

    The full content of Skin 2′s home page is below:

    [one_fourth] <h2>Who Are We?</h2>

    I’ve answered a half dozen questions just for you in the past 24 hours. If I wasn’t going to help you I’d have stopped answering your questions a long time ago and saved a few hours.

    Below is JUST the shortcodes. I have no idea what you’re going to do with this though.

    I’ve logged into your site and made some of these corrections for you. Your webserver keeps crashing so I’m not sure if they’re displaying properly.

    The changes appear to have saved but I can no longer access your public site. Getting this error:

    HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
    C:Program Files (x86)PHPphp-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly

    I logged into your site again to look at this but I can’t find Mingle installed any longer. I tried several times 2 days ago but I constantly got the server error, you mentioned there is a problem with your server. I was never able to access the site but I can now. Let me know if you want me to look again.
