Hi all,

I am a new Artisteer user. I just purchased it few days ago and have tried it a bit too. I read the manual. But I am still kind of confused on how it works with Wordpress...

In Wordpress, if I use 3rd party plugin to create a new post type, for example, "Products". How can I apply Artisteer's post style to that post type?

Do you create custom content, custom fields, custom posts, these kind of stuff in Wordpress? or in Artisteer?

I am sorry that my questions are probably very fundamental. But I am really confused on how to use it more efficiently.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Erin

By the way, I found a Wordpress plugin set called "TVC Toolset"

http://www.wpmayor.com/plugin-reviews/wordpress-toolset-review/

Do I need to buy this kind of stuff in order to work with Artisteer more seamlessly? That looks like a good custom content creation tools. But I am wondering whether I need to buy their "Views"? Or can I achieve everything by using Artisteer?

Thanks!!

I'm also looking at the TVC toolset for use in conjunction with Artisteer. I believe Artisteer provides the high-level structure of a site, while the TVC toolset gives a way for end-users to create specialized custom content in a particular area of a page. Although you can key regular content through the Wordpress TinyMCE editor, you cannot access sliders, or the header and footer areas with it. But, the TVC toolset can, because it runs as a widget that can be positioned anywhere by the Artisteer header position control (this control can be offset from the header to appear anywhere on a page, including over an artisteer slider).

B.T.W.

To move the position control off the header, use this custom CSS code in the Artisteer CSS Options dialog in Home-->Export-->Options button, where YourPositionControlName is your position control's name (set in position control options when you right click the position control)

.art-header {
z-index: 1;
}

.art-shapes {
overflow: visible;
}

#YourPositionControlName
{
top: 110px !important;
}

Taken from other website:


Add Custom Post Types to Tags and Categories in WordPress

function add_custom_types_to_tax( $query ) { if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) { // Get all your post types $post_types = get_post_types(); $query->set( 'post_type', $post_types ); return $query; } } add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_custom_types_to_tax' );

function add_custom_types_to_tax( $query ) { if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {   // Get all your post types $post_types = get_post_types();   $query->set( 'post_type', $post_types ); return $query; } } add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_custom_types_to_tax' );


So, if you’d like your custom post types to show up in archive listings for your site’s standard tags and categories you can add the following code to your functions.php file:
function add_custom_types_to_tax( $query ) { if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {

If you’d like to add only specific post types to listings of tags and categories you can replace the line:

$post_types = get_post_types(); 	 $post_types = get_post_types();


with:

$post_types = array( 'post', 'your_custom_type' );  $post_types = array( 'post', 'your_custom_type' );
