    Hi,

    www.flatoutsweden.com (roadfighter theme)

    I'm not sure how to connect the mailto button (in the upper right corner) to the mail. So that when the client press the mailto button they can send an email direct to us?

    Then on the subpages on the right side (where archive where before, where the widgets can be) can I put pctures there instead? It looks so boring when I don't have anything at all there...

    Thank you for all your help!

    Best
    Jannike

    Hello,

    For mailto open "header.php" file and make changes as shown in the image.

    Replace "tel" with "mailto".

    And for other pages sidebar.
    Go to the Appearance > widgets
    add text widget in the primary and secondary widget area.
    And after that add image through code given below.

    <a href="link address"><img src="image address"></a>

    Hello,
    I tried the mailto options as instructed above by editing the Header.php and replacing "tel" with "mailto" and nothing happens when I click on the button. I am working on an unpublished website at the moment.

    I figured it out.

    Is there a way to have this button be an active link when viewed from computers? I would like computer-viewers to be able to click on "Email Us Today!" and be able to have it open an email address.

    In addition, how do I change the "Tap to call" image that shows up in mobile views?

    Go to css > color > images present in your theme directory and replace your image with present tap to call image or edit it.

    The name of image is "tap-to-call-lightblue.png"

    Note:- Use same name for your edited image and remove the current image.

    How do I make the button on my home page (http://lightedpathcoaching.org) be an active button so computer users can click "Email Us Today!" and it will open to an email?

    I want to make this button a link for computer viewers. Right now it only seems like a working button on mobile only.

    Thank you for resolving my issue. It looks like the "call.png" image that was there before is no longer there. Is this possible to fix?

    Hello Sarah,

    I am not getting about which "call.png" image you are talking.
    Can you please locate where it was before.

    The theme image for this "tap to call" button was a telephone-type image.

    I then replaced it with a butterfly (my site's logo).

    When you went in to make the updates I requested (which was making the button available to computer users as an email button), after this the image disappeared completely.
