This section only shows up in localhost environments and contains settings to ease theme development. If you see this on
your site's backend, then it's probably a bug.
Toggle between production mode (when enabled) and development mode (when disabled). When disabled and consequently development mode is on, you should see a notice in the front-end menu header. When development mode is on, you should be able to debug the theme's development JavaScript files and view debug information about contact form shortcode requests from your browser's dev tools network panel.
Default value: Disabled
From the backend, the widget allows the administrator to input 4 address lines, the country code, phone number and email address for their organisation.
On the frontend, the user will see the organisation's address if provided, phone number if provided and/or email address if provided.
From the backend, the widget allows the administrator to input either the form's original HTML for user ID and form ID to be extracted or directly input the organisation's user ID and form ID (both required for the form to work).
The first option is the most straight-forward since it consists of merely copying the form's HTML. In order to access the HTML for the Mailchimp form you would like to embed, kindly log in to your Mailchimp account, click Lists, locate the list to link to the form, click the down arrow beside it and then select Signup Forms. Finally, click Embedded forms and copy the form's HTML to clipboard. On switching to your site's backend, paste the markup to a Mailchimp Subscribe widget instance. Upon clicking Save, you should notice that the User ID and Form ID fields are populated.
On the other hand, in case Mailchimp change their markup and the extraction mechanism fails, you would need to manually st the User ID and Form ID.
From the backend, the widget allows the administrator to input the URLs for the organisation's media accounts. The URLs are validated to contain the service URL.
On the frontend, the user will see links for the provided social networks. Clicking upon the link, opens the profile for that social network in a new tab.
The Upcoming Event widget is aimed at improving event exposure for visitors of the website.
From the backend, the widget allows the administrator to input the event's title, time, date, venue, description and URL for event page.
On the frontend, the user will see the event's title if provided, time if provided, date if provided, venue if provided, description if provided and the More info... button will be linked to the appropriate URL if provided.
Now, lets talk about areas where widgets may be dropped. Ecologie provides the following:
- Sidebar
- Footer Column 1
- Footer Column 2
- Footer Column 3
- Footer Column 4
This shortcode builds a contact form and has the following syntax:
[contact-us at="<email-to-send-to>" at-name="<name-to-send-to>"]
It may also be inserted through the Contact Us editor button.
Once you click the button, the following dialog is shown:
Kindly enter your email and name into the designated fields. In case your email is left out, you will get the following dialog:
Please note, that currently only a single Contact Us form per page may be activated. However, that is subject to change in the near future.
The theme enables Wordpress's Links feature. For information about how to utilise it, read here.
In order to uninstall Ecologie follow the official instructions on how to manage themes.
However, deleting Ecologie does not remove the entries that the theme creates in the wp-options table. To remove ths data, launch your favourite MYSQL shell (such as PHPMyAdmin), select the database connected to your site and run the following query:
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_ecologie_contact_widget';
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_ecologie_social_widget';
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_ecologie_upcoming_event_widget';
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_ecologie_mailchimp_subscribe_widget';
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'theme_mods_ecologie';
