In the Day 6 of “Build Killer WordPress Design With Catalyst tutorial”, your task is to choose, then import a new skin into Catalyst WordPress theme.
Ok, let me start:
First at all, go to wp dashboard, then moving the mouse over the Catalyst icon(1) in the sidebar, and click on Advanced Options(2).
Next page, you have to click on ‘custom Widget Areas’(3), then add a new widget area by clicking on ‘Add another’(4).
At this point, choose a name for your widget, e.g. ‘Footer’(5) and select the hook(6) e.g ‘catalyst_hook_before_footer’ (if you want to add the widget before footer in both the home page and single page). Remember to select the layout(7).
Now click “Custom CSS”(8), and in the text box(9) add the following piece of code below:
.custom-width {
width: 240px;
}
Click on ‘Save Change’ button to save all changes.
Move your mouse over ‘Appearance’ and select, then click on ‘Widgets’(10)
Drag 4 time ‘Text widgets’ to the sidebar(in the widget call ‘footer’ you’ve just created), and add the code on each widget. Change the code in each widget as you need.
<form style=”border:1px solid #ffff; width: 230px; height:300px; background:#242424; padding:7px;text-align:left;”>
