    Hello!

    I am having trouble customising the Local Business Theme to suit my needs. For example, how can I add/remove fields in the Lead Capture box, how can I insert a YouTube embedded video on the top left hand side next to the lead capture box instead of an image, how can I insert a lead capture form from Aweber into the homepage? It seems to me the themes are not as flexible as advertised. Please help!

    Hello,

    It is not possible to add fields in the lead capture form. But yes they can be removed manually.
    You can insert Youtube embed code in the Appearance > Theme options > slider settings.
    For Aweber:
    You can use plugin
    Download it from the link given below.

    Add Aweber widget in the footer widget area.

    Hi,

    Can you tell me how I can embed a YouTube video instead of an image in the slider settings? Also how exactly can I remove fields from the lead capture form on the homepage? How will these changes be affected when it comes time to upgrade the theme etc?

    Thanks!

    1). You can add the video clip by pasting the embed code of you tube video in the Slider Image Upload Section (Appearance > Theme options > slider settings.) of your dashboard.
    Follow the steps given below
    a. Open your required video in the youtube website.
    b. Click on the Share Tab present on that webpage below the video.
    c. And then click on the Embed Tab
    d. After that the embed code will display there, copy that code and paste it in the Slider Image Upload Section of your dashboard.
    e. Adjust the width and height of that code as you required.
    For the reference see the image given below.

    2). Please specify us which field from the lead capture you want to remove.

    3). When you upgrade the theme, you will lose all the changes done in the php file, only custom code in the dashboard will remain intact.
    To avoid these risk you will need to create the Child Theme of this theme.
    For the reference see the link given below.
