Would you like to see some of the Blackbird features in Colorway Pro, too?

    I have my Colorway Pro installed as my website's theme. However, I really like the Blackbird header, and also the footer.

    I saw in another thread someone else wondered about putting information on the right side of the header, as can be done in Blackbird, in the Colorway theme. The solution posted was to make one long image that has the logo on the left and contains an image of the contact information. This is what we have done on our website (www.kingsbrookvet.com) The problem is that the contact information is an image, and not recognized as text so it can't be clicked on to initiate a phone call on a mobile device (or a map search for the address)

    Is there a way to accomplish something at least similar to the blackbird header, if so, how about the footer as well?

    Thanks,

    -Morse

    Hello,

    I can understand your point, but each theme have it's own functionality. That's why only they are unique from each other.
    So it is not possible to merge there features.

    Sure, I understand that there are different appearances and functions to each theme.
    But when you look at the header of Colorway and Blackbird, they are very similar, except in Blackbird, you can enter contact information that will show up on the right hand side. Would you consider adding that functionality to Colorway? It would make for a better mobile experience, I believe.
    Thanks.

    Hello Morsedavis,
    For this issue you have to create one long image that has the logo on the left side and contains contact details text on the right side with the help of Photoshop and upload this image from the custom logo section (Appearance -> Theme Options -General Settings) from your dashboard, otherwise you have to do some custom coding in the Theme. If this isn't something you're able to do then you would need to contact the freelancer to hire a developer for this.

    Hello,

    Go to header.php present in your theme directory and add the code given below

    Code:
    <div class="contact_no"><a href="Enter your link address">Enter your contact number</a></div>
    Sending image for reference

    All this does is add our phone number to under the header. I'm looking for the similar functionality that's found in the blackbird header (and footer,) where you can have a logo on the left of the header, and then text of all your contact information (Address, phone,e-mail) as well as hours of operation, etc... I understand that other themes have different functionality, but this would fit right into the way Colorway looks, and also make this already popular theme even more appealing.
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that with our theme unless you custom code something up. Sorry.
