Donation Bar Not Appearing

[James Reed]

I LOVE this theme. Great work.

To the best of my knowledge, I have everything configured correctly but the Donation Bar for whatever reason does not appear on my home page:

Under Theme Options, on the Donation Bar tab I have the following options selected:

Include on Home Page: Yes selected
Donation Bar Title: Contribute
Donation Bar Description: Tax Deductible
Percentage Toward Goal: 50
Donation Start: $1
Donation Goal: $1M
Donation Button: Contribute
PayPal or Link: PayPal selected
Donation Link URL: http://www.paypal.com/ (actual PayPal account not yet setup)
PayPal Email Address: xyz@bxkyeducation.org
Thank You Page: http://www.bxkyeducation.org/site/

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

James,

Thanks again for your business. It looks like we need to make a home page for you. There are some screenshots in the theme instructions to help illustrate it. Here’s what you do:

1. Go to Pages and make a new page.
2. You can name it anything, but the important part is to find the “Attributes” box in the right column. There you’ll see a drop-down menu for templates. Choose “Home” from that drop down. Then publish your page.
3. Next go to the settings section and select “Reading.” At the top you’ll see a choice for what the front page displays. Choose a “Static” page and then select the home page you just created to be your front page. Update your settings.

That should bring up the home page as it is in the demo. The content below the donation bar is handled by widgets. The slides are added by going to Media and selecting “Slides.”

If you have any trouble, just let me know,
Bill

Worked perfectly. I thought I might be missing a step. Thank you for your assistance.

Again, phenomenal work. I LOVE the template.

Great design work, great documentation & support, great job.

FYI – I found you this morning by way of a link on the WordPress site and will be a customer for a long time to come.

I’m a newbie so bear with me… Once I created the new page all of the widgets are below the donation bar are gone. Any suggestions?

Sorry figured it out … But FaceBook Widget wasn’t showing up…

Shane,

I’d be glad to take a look at the Facebook widget for you. Any chance you could send over a link so I can take a closer look for you?

Thanks,
Bill
