Cosmedical - Health & Medical WordPress Theme

By Progression Studios


Thank you for purchasing this theme. If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, visit our support forum.

Theme & Plugin Installation


To install your theme in WordPress you must navigate to the menu "Appearance" on the left and then the submenu "Themes". From that page you should see your current list of themes like "Twenty Fourteen". Now click the "Add New" button at the top. Then click on the text button at the top "Upload". You then should click Choose File and find your theme files on your computer and upload them. Note: You are only uploading the folder "Cosmedical-Theme.zip" Your final step is to "Activate" your theme.

If you have any issues installing your theme. Visit this faq: Solving Broken Theme/Stylesheet Missing WordPress Theme Issues

Upload a Theme




Plugin Installation/Activation

After installing your theme, you will be prompted to install a set if additional plugins. Click on the "Begin Installing Plugins" text link to install the plugins. We strongly recommend installing theses upon the initial installation. You can also deactivate and remove them later on.

plugin recomendations

You will then view hte "Install Required Plugins" page. You can also reach this page under Appearance > Install Plugins. You can select all the items and Bulk Install the plugins or install the plugins one at a time.

Setting up Bread-crumb

You can adjust your bread-crumb settings under Settings > Breadcrumb NavXT. To match the live preview:

Add-in the home icon in place of your blog title.

permalinks

Here is the code to place-in:

<span typeof="v:Breadcrumb"><a rel="v:url" property="v:title" title="Go to %title%." href="%link%" class="%type%"><i class="fa fa-home"></i></a></span>





Getting your URLs to display page names instead of numbers

By default the pagenames will be website.com/p15 instead of website.com/about. To fix this go to "Settings" > "Permalinks" and my recommendation is to change the Common Settings to "Day and name". After choosing "Day and Name", Click "Save Changes" and your done. Your urls will now display a proper Permalink structure.

				<h6>Overview</h6>
				<h2>Experience The Greatness That Awaits At Takamado</h2>
				Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

				It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.

Responsive layout

This site is beautiful at any size, be it a 17" laptop screen or an iPhone. All of the styles for the responsive layout are located here: /css/responsive.css

The responsive grid is controlled via "Media Queries". Magnolia uses media queries to serve the scalable grid, but also for the convenience of styling your site on different size screens. Magnolia's media queries are almost exclusively targeted at max and min widths rather than device sizes or orientations. The advantage of this is browsers and future mobile devices that don't map to exact set dimensions will still benefit from the styles. That being said, all of the queries were written to be optimal on Apple iOS devices. The built in media queries include:

/* #Media Queries
================================================== */

  /* Smaller than standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
  @media only screen and (max-width: 959px) {}

  /* Tablet Portrait size to standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
  @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) {}

  /* All Mobile Sizes (devices and browser) */
  @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {}

  /* Mobile Landscape Size to Tablet Portrait (devices and browsers) */
  @media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {}

  /* Mobile Portrait Size to Mobile Landscape Size (devices and browsers) */
  @media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {}
			




How to disable the Responsive Ability

You can easily remove the responsive styling by removing the /css/responsive.css file. If you do this, then add a body min-width otherwise tablets will have trouble rendering the background images properly:

body {min-width:1200px;}

Adjusting Image Sizes

All of the image sizes can be found in the functions.php file at the top.

Note: You must re-upload images if you adjust the sizes.

Example Blog (1140 pixels wide by 435 pixels tall). True means it is being cropped:

add_image_size('progression-blog', 1140, 435, true);

WordPress documentation on adding image sizes for your reference


CSS Styling

We have one main CSS stylesheet and it is located in the main theme folder under style.css file. The responsive styles are listed above.


Adding more Post/Page Meta-boxOptions

Just like the theme options above we are using an open-source custom meta boxes framework. You can learn more on gitbhub here (We placed our metabox options in /inc/dev7_meta_box_framework.php): Dev7studios Meta Box Framework


Photoshop Files

I've included all of my photoshop designs within the files:

  1. The original layered PSD Files (/Additional Files/Photoshop Files)
  2. Templates for site (/Additional Files/Templates)




As of June 22, 2016 Google has started to require an API key to use Google Maps on your site. Don't worry as this is still free. You just need to register with Google and get a free API key. Then paste the key into our theme.

Step 1) Register and get an API Key here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key


Google Map Key

Step 2) Login to your WordPress site and add your API key into your theme customizer. (Appearance > Customize > Google Maps)
