  • Hi Juan,

    I really love this theme! Great job!
    Im having trouble with the Info Boxes. I have setup 3 info boxes, and would like 2 out of the 3 to link to separate blogs with specific categories. Right now, when I click on 2 of the Info Boxes it takes me to one blog with all of the posts, even though I categorized them.

    Also, where do I change the hover state color for the Info Boxes?

    Thank you.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your kind words 🙂

    I’ve been through your site and I saw that you are not using the complete URL when setting up the “Read More” URL for the infoboxes. You must include http://

    Regarding the hover color, you’ll need to work a bit on the CSS there. For example:

    .infobox .entry-excerpt a.read-more:hover{ background: #some-hex-color !important; }
    

    Replace #some-hex-color with the color you wish to use for your button hover state.

    Best,
    Juan.

    How do I setup/create separate blogs for each info box?

    Hi,

    I don’t undersand the question. Can you explain me a bit more?

    Best,
    Juan.

    When you click on ‘monthly specials and events’ and ‘upcoming tastings’ you end up at the same blog with all of the posts there (even though they are categorized differently).
    I would like to have one blog for ‘monthly specials and events’ with those posts (category) and a separate blog for ‘upcoming tastings’ with posts categorized ‘tastings’ there. Is that possible?

    Hi,

    You can’t create 2 blogs. But that’s not because of the theme. That’s a WordPress limitation.

    What you can do is edit those links and set them to the different categories templates. For example:
    http://your-site.com/category/monthly-specials-and-events/ and http://your-site.com/category/tastings/ (You should create a parent category “Tastings”, and then child categories for that category..”Beer Tasting”, “Wine Testing”, etc).

    Best,
    Juan.

    Just figured it out. Thanks Juan!

    No problem 🙂

    Have a nice day,
    Juan.
