Browse Deals and Companies Pages

Important!

You have to create one Page that uses the Browse Deals Template and one that uses the Browse Companies Template. This way all the links in the site, pointing to such pages will work as they should - for example the "All Deals" link in the Featured Deals Shortcode.


Blog Page

Go to Pages > Add New, write the page title and select Blog from the Template dropdown at the right.

Then click the Publish button.

After that navigate to Settings > Reading in the Worpdress Admin Dashboard and select your blog page for Post Page.

Click Save Changes.


Creating a Contact Form

The theme includes the famous Contact Form 7 plugin. To make it look like the one in the demo, create a Page, select Contact Template and paste there the Contact form shortcode. If you have neve worked with the plugin before, they have a very nice explanation on their site.

For more advanced setting, you can see the Contact Form 7 Documentation.

Here is the code of the form from the demo:

<p>Your Name (required)<br/>[text* your-name]</p>
<p>Your Email (required)<br/>[email* your-email]</p>
<p>Subject<br/>[text your-subject]</p>
<p>Your Message<br/>[textarea your-message] </p>
