Are you looking for a way to collect email addresses from your visitors?
Adding a squeeze page is an easy way to narrow down your users’ attention and build an email list. It helps convert your audience by offering incentives in exchange for their email address.
In this article, we will show you how to create a squeeze page in WordPress.
What Is a Squeeze Page?
A squeeze page (also known as a lead page) is a type of landing page that’s designed to collect or squeeze your visitor’s email address and name. In return, you can offer a valuable resource, ebook, exclusive learning material, or free products.
Unlike a standard landing page, where you could have multiple goals, a squeeze page’s purpose is to get users to give up their email addresses.
For example, here’s a squeeze page by a Digital Marketer that encourages users to sign up for their Insider Newsletter.
It has a clear call to action button, and the page includes a clear copy of what users will get in return. Plus, the headline is eye-catching, and there are images on the page that help capture users’ attention.
Creating a squeeze page is a proven way of building an email list, which you can use to promote your products or services in the future. Collecting emails also lets you start a newsletter and inform subscribers of new products, deals, and campaigns.
That said, let’s see how to create a squeeze page in WordPress.
Creating a Squeeze Page in WordPress
The easiest way of setting up a squeeze page in WordPress is by using SeedProd. It is the best and easiest WordPress website and landing page builder.
To get started, you can choose from different high-converting templates and customize the page using the drag-and-drop builder. The plugin also integrates with popular email marketing tools.
Aside from a squeeze page, SeedProd lets you create a coming soon page, 404 error page, custom login page, and more. Its theme builder also allows you to create a custom theme without editing code.
Please note that we’ll use SeedProd Pro for this tutorial because it includes more templates and customization options. However, there is also a SeedProd Lite version you can use for free.
Setting Up SeedProd in WordPress
First, you’ll need to install and activate the SeedProd plugin. If you need help, then please see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, you will see a welcome page in your WordPress dashboard. On this page, you can enter the license key and click the ‘Verify key’ button. If you’re unsure where the key is, then you can easily find it in the SeedProd account area.
After that, you’ll need to go to SeedProd Landing Pages from the admin panel.
From here, simply click the ‘+ Add New Landing Page’ button.
Next, SeedProd will offer different templates to choose from.
You can click the ‘Lead Squeeze’ filter at the top to view squeeze page templates.
To choose a template, simply hover it and click the orange tick button.
Next, a popup window will open where you can enter a name and URL for your squeeze page. Once that’s done, click the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button.
After that, you’ll see the SeedProd drag-and-drop landing page builder.
Customizing Your Squeeze Page Using SeedProd
In the page builder, you can edit different elements on the template. For instance, there are different blocks to choose from.
You can add standard blocks like headlines, text, lists, buttons, and more. Or select advanced blocks such as social sharing, countdown, video popup, testimonials, and more.
SeedProd also lets you customize each element or block further. For example, selecting the headline block will let you edit the text and change its font, color, and style.
With SeedProd, you can also use the power of artificial intelligence to automatically create images and text for your page. However, do note that the AI Text and Image Generation tool is a paid addon.
If you switch to the ‘Sections’ tab, then you’ll find entire sections to add to your squeeze page. For example, you can add custom headers, footers, call to action buttons, and more to your page.
Connecting Email Marketing Tool with SeedProd
After you’ve customized the squeeze page, you’ll need to connect an email marketing tool with SeedProd.
To do that, switch to the ‘Connect’ tab, and you’ll see different services. For instance, SeedProd easily integrates with ActiveCampaign, AWeber, Drip, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and more.
Simply follow the onscreen instructions to connect your desired email marketing service with SeedProd.
Finalize Your Squeeze Page Settings
Next, you’ll need to head to the ‘Page Settings’ tab in SeedProd.
Here, you can change different settings and publish your page. For instance, SeedProd lets you change the page title, edit the meta description, add Google Analytics, and more.
Once you’ve made the changes, it’s time to make your squeeze page live. Simply change the ‘Page Status’ from Draft to Publish.
You can now click the ‘Save’ button at the top and exit the landing page builder.
From here, simply visit the squeeze page URL and see it in action.
Bonus: Tips to Boost Conversions on Your Squeeze Page
Now that you know how to create a squeeze page on a WordPress site, you can take it to the next level by following these tips for boosting conversions.
1. Converting Exiting Visitors into Subscribers
Did you know that 70% of visitors will abandon your website and never return? What if you could change that and boost conversions on your squeeze page?
With the help of OptinMonster, you can show personalized messages to users at precise times and convert them into subscribers.
It is the best conversion optimization and lead generation software in the market that offers an Exit-Intent technology. OptinMonster will automatically detect users’ behavior and show a popup message just as a user is about to leave your squeeze page.
You can add a click-to-subscribe button on your squeeze page and encourage users to sign up for push notifications.
Push notifications are custom messages with links that you can send to your subscribers. They are great for bringing people back to your site, prompting your content, and boosting sales.
Are you a new WordPress.org user who wants to learn how to edit your WordPress site?
Here at WPBeginner, we have helped millions of beginners build their websites using WordPress, which is the most popular website builder on the market. If you need help with editing your website, then you have come to the right place.
In this article, we will show you the basics of editing a WordPress website.
An Overview of Ways to Edit a WordPress Site
As an open-source content management system, WordPress has a lot of features to build and edit your website.
If you installed WordPress recently, then you may have come across Gutenberg, which is WordPress’s drag-and-drop block editor that allows you to customize a page or post. This feature is pretty easy and beginner-friendly.
You may have also seen the Full Site Editor.
This is an extension of Gutenberg that lets you use the block editor to customize block-based WordPress themes.
That said, if you use a classic, non-block WordPress theme, then the FSE won’t be available to you. Instead, you will have to use the WordPress Theme Customizer.
This feature doesn’t come with a drag-and-drop function, so it’s not as user-friendly. You have to edit your theme using some menu settings in the left-hand panel.
If you need more customization options that aren’t available in WordPress’s built-in features, then you can install a page builder plugin like SeedProd.
This is what we usually recommend to WordPress beginners. Like Gutenberg, SeedProd has a drag-and-drop feature. However, it offers more ways to get creative, like animation effects and more content block options to build your pages.
Some WordPress users also use the Classic Editor. It’s WordPress’s legacy page and post editor that looks a bit like a document editor.
This feature is no longer enabled by default in the latest WordPress versions. However, some people still use it because they are more familiar with it and want to keep their current website designs.
In this article, we will show you how to edit different parts of your WordPress website using the editors we’ve mentioned.
One of the first things you should do after installing WordPress is to choose and customize your theme. We will show you 3 ways to do that.
Customizing a Block Theme With the Full Site Editor
Full Site Editing was introduced in WordPress 5.9. It’s designed to make it easy to edit WordPress block themes using the block editor.
One tell-tale sign that you are using a block WordPress theme is you will see Appearance » Editor in your WordPress admin area. If you see Appearance » Customize instead, then you can skip to using the Theme Customizer.
If you want to find some free options, go to Appearance » Themes. Then, click ‘Add New Theme.’
After that, just switch to the ‘Block Themes’ tab.
You will then see dozens of block themes on your screen. For installation instructions, check out our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress theme.
Once you have the theme installed, you must go to Appearance » Editor.
Now, you will see the main Full Site Editing dashboard. You can then edit your theme’s navigation menu, styles, pages, templates, and patterns.
We will discuss these topics in the rest of the tutorial, but we will show you briefly how to change the style of your theme.
To do this, click the ‘Styles’ menu.
Now, you will see a list of the color scheme and typography pairings provided by the theme.
Every time you click on a style, the interface will preview it for you.
Once you are satisfied with your choice, just click ‘Save.’ Alternatively, you can create a custom style.
Customizing a Classic Theme With the Theme Customizer
If you use a classic WordPress theme, then you will work with the Theme Customizer to edit it. Simply head to Appearance » Customize from the WordPress admin area to access it.
Now, what you can customize here varies by the theme you are using.
For instance, if you have the Astra theme, then you can customize the style of your entire website, header, footer, sidebar, page, logo, and so on.
For this reason, we recommend reading your theme’s documentation for more instructions.
Our guide on the Theme Customizer can give you more detailed pointers.
Once you’ve made your changes, you can preview the website in different screen resolutions. Then, you can hit the ‘Publish’ button at the top to make your edits live.
One downside of the Theme Customizer is its user experience isn’t as flexible or easy as the block editor. If you feel this way, then we recommend using the next method instead.
Customizing a WordPress Theme With a Page Builder Plugin
Many WordPress users who aren’t satisfied with the platform’s built-in design features use a page builder to edit their site. This is a WordPress plugin that can replace the default editor for designing different parts of your website.
Most page builders come with a drag-and-drop functionality, so they are just as easy to use as the block editor. What’s more, they come with more page blocks and templates to personalize your website.
Out of all the page builders we’ve tried, we find SeedProd to be the best. It comes with 300+ templates for various industry categories, from eCommerce and accommodation to services.
Note: While SeedProd comes in a free version, we recommend upgrading to the Pro plan to access the Theme Builder. This is what we will use in this tutorial.
To use SeedProd, you will need to install the WordPress plugin first. After that, go to SeedProd » Settings to activate your Pro plan license. Simply insert your license key and click ‘Verify Key’ to complete this step.
As you can see, there are many theme template kits available, from online stores to service sites. Feel free to use the filtering and sorting settings to find the right one for your needs.
Once you’ve made your choice, just hover over the theme template and click the orange checkmark button to use it.
Now, just go back to the Theme Builder page and select a theme template you’d like to edit.
For demonstration purposes, we will show you how to edit the style of your SeedProd theme template. To do this, locate the ‘Global CSS’ theme template, hover over it, and click ‘Edit Design.’
You are now inside the SeedProd page builder and can customize your theme template’s style. Here, you can change your website’s colors, fonts, backgrounds, buttons, forms, and layout.
Let’s see how to change the theme’s default font. To do this, open the ‘Fonts’ menu. Then, just choose one of SeedProd’s many font and color options for the heading and body text.
All the changes you make will show up automatically in the right-side preview.
Once you are happy with the style, just click ‘Save’ to make these changes official.
Then, you can go back to SeedProd » Theme Builder and turn on the ‘Enable SeedProd Theme’ toggle in the top right corner.
If you have updated WordPress to the latest version, then most likely, you will use the Gutenberg block editor to edit a page or post.
You can create a new page by going to Pages » Add NewPage. This will automatically make an entirely blank page and direct you to the block editor.
On the other hand, if you want to edit an existing page, like the homepage or blog page, then you can go to Pages » All Pages. Hover your cursor over the page you want to edit, and then click ‘Edit.’
Alternatively, there is also the Quick Edit feature.
This allows you to modify the page’s title, URL slug, and last modified date.
You can do various things with the Quick Edit feature.
Examples include setting a password for the page, making it private, assigning it as a parent page, changing the page template, allowing/disallowing comments, and changing the page status.
To create a new post, simply head to Posts » Add NewPost to make a new blank post and edit it using the block editor.
Like before, you can edit an existing WordPress blog post by hovering your cursor over the selected post and clicking ‘Edit.’
The Quick Edit feature for posts is similar but with some minor differences.
Typically, you will start by clicking the ‘+’ add block button in the top left corner.
This is where you will find all the available blocks from WordPress and the plugins you use.
You can then drag and drop a block to the main editing area.
After that, you can use the block’s toolbar and settings sidebar to configure the block’s style, dimensions, spacing, and more.
If you have installed a WordPress plugin, then you may also see some settings below the editing interface.
For instance, the All in One SEO plugin will show you a section where you can optimize the page or post’s meta title and description for search engines.
We have plenty of guides for you to learn more about editing posts and pages, so be sure to check them out:
After that, just create a new post or page by going to Posts » Add New Post or Pages » Add New Page, and the Classic Editor will show up on your screen.
Unlike the block editor, you won’t add blocks to insert content into your page or post. Instead, you can only type text, format it using the controls at the top of the editing panel, and add media files to your content by clicking on the ‘Add Media’ button.
At the bottom and the sides of the editing interface, there are settings to publish the page/post, set the page or post’s categories/tags, upload a featured image, and so on.
You can also switch between the visual and text editing modes. With the second editor, you can modify the post or page’s HTML code.
How to Edit a WordPress Page With a Page Builder
If you already use a page builder like SeedProd to edit your theme, then you can use it to edit a page as well. This way, you can maintain your design’s consistency throughout all of your pages.
You will need to create a new page and open the block editor. If SeedProd is active, then you will see a button at the top that says, ‘Edit with SeedProd.’ Go ahead and click on it.
You can also do this with an existing page. However, do note that the content will not be transferred over, and you will have to create the page from scratch.
In the page builder, you will see that the SeedProd theme’s header and footer have been added. All you need to do is start building the page.
First, choose one of the 8 layouts to use on the page.
On the left-hand side, you will find all the blocks and sections that you can drag and drop onto the right-hand side, which is the template preview.
You can use these to insert content into the page.
Whenever you click a block or a section, the left-hand side will show the available settings to customize the element.
In the screenshot below, you can see that clicking on the Text block will make the block settings appear. You can customize the text, insert dynamic content, edit the HTML, change the alignment, and so on.
Once you are done editing the page, don’t forget to click ‘Save’ to make the changes live.
If you want to create a custom landing page from scratch, then you can also do that with SeedProd. All you need to do is go to SeedProd » Landing Pages. Then, click the ‘+ Add New Landing Page’ button.
Alternative: Thrive Architect is another great page builder option for designing attractive and conversion-focused landing pages.
How to Edit a WordPress Header, Footer, and Other Template Parts
You may also want to edit the WordPress header, footer, sidebar, and other parts of your theme template.
These are sections on your site that are not part of the main page or post content. However, they are essential for giving additional information or helpful navigation.
How you can edit these sections depends on what theme you are using, so let’s go through each option.
How to Edit a Block Theme’s Header, Footer, and Other Template Parts
If you have a block theme, then you can use the Full Site Editor to edit your theme’s header and footer.
In the Full Site Editor, a header and footer are considered template parts. These are also known as WordPress patterns (a set of reusable blocks) that appear throughout your website.
Other examples of a template part include the comment section and the post meta.
For the sake of example, we will show you how to edit your WordPress header, but you can repeat these steps with other template parts.
First, go to Appearance »Editor. Once you are in the Full Site Editor, just click ‘Patterns.’
You will now see a list of patterns provided by your WordPress theme.
Go ahead and scroll down to the Template Parts section. Then, select ‘Header’ and click on the Header template part.
Now, you need to click the pencil button next to the Header text.
This will open the block editor.
The block editor works the same way with template parts as it does with pages and posts. You can add various blocks to the header, configure the block, and update the changes when you are done.
Headers usually include a Site Logo (or the favicon), so feel free to add that here, too.
If you want to completely change how the header looks but don’t know where to start, click the ‘+’ add block button in the top left corner.
Then, navigate to the ‘Patterns’ tab and click ‘Headers.’ You will find many ready-to-use header layouts there.
Once you are done changing the header, click ‘Save.’ Since the header is a synced template part, all the changes you make here will apply across all pages that use the header.
Now, if you want to create a new header or any other template parts rather than editing the existing ones, you can go back to the ‘Patterns’ page. After that, click the ‘+ Create pattern’ button and select ‘Create template part.’
In the popup, give the template part a name and select the type of template part.
Then, click ‘Create.’ You will then be directed to the block editor and you can edit the template part like usual.
How to Edit a WordPress Header, Footer, and Other Widget-Ready Areas in a Classic Theme
In a classic theme, a WordPress widget is basically a block that you can add to widget-ready areas, like headers, footers, sidebars, and so on.
Every classic WordPress theme has different widget-ready areas. Some may include a sidebar, and some may not. So be sure to check your theme’s documentation for more information.
To use widgets, you have to go to Appearance » Widgets. Here, you can add, configure, and remove blocks in the available widget-ready areas.
How to Edit a WordPress Header, Footer, and Other Template Parts With a Page Builder
One of the benefits of using a page builder is you will have more options to customize headers, footers, sidebars, and other parts of your theme.
If you use SeedProd, you can go to SeedProd » Theme Builder. We will assume that you have installed a theme template kit from earlier.
The kit usually includes various theme templates. This may be a built-in page template, like a 404 or single post, or a part of a page, like a header, footer, pricing tables, and so on.
Go ahead and hover over a theme template. Then, click ‘Edit Design.’
Now, you can edit the header the same way as you would with a page.
Let’s say you want to add your social media links here. What you can do is hover over the header until the blue border appears and click the ‘+ Add Row’ button. Then, go ahead and select a row layout.
In our example, we want to add one more column so that the header can fit the image, menu, and social media links. That means we will need three columns in one row.
You can then drag and drop the blocks from the top row to the new row.
After that, just delete the top row so that your new row becomes the new header.
Now, just look for the Social Profiles block in the left-side panel.
Drag it into the right column, and you are done.
For more information about editing template parts, you can read these WordPress tutorials:
A navigation menu makes it easy for visitors to explore all your content without getting lost on your website. That’s why it’s important to design a menu that shows your essential pages and links to other relevant information.
If you use a block WordPress theme, then you can select the ‘Navigation’ menu from the Full Site Editor page.
If you use a classic WordPress theme, then you can go to Appearance» Menus. This is a dedicated page for you to add, arrange, and remove pages/posts and links to your menus.
Toward the bottom, you can change the links’ font size, spacing, divider, and alignment.
Don’t forget to click ‘Save’ to make the changes live.
How to Edit a WordPress Site With Code
If you are comfortable with code, then you can also use custom code snippets to edit your WordPress website. That said, we only recommend this method if you have the right technical know-how to avoid breaking your website.
One way you can edit a WordPress site with code is by adding CSS, which is a stylesheet that can change how HTML looks on the front end.
Classic theme users can go to Appearance »Customize and find the ‘Additional CSS’ field in the Theme Customizer.
Here, you can insert CSS code to style different HTML elements like colors and fonts.
This may be handy if your theme’s built-in options aren’t enough for your needs.
As for block theme users, you cannot add custom CSS within the Full Site Editor.
Instead, you have to go to the URL below to open the Theme Customizer and find the Additional CSS field. Make sure to replace the domain name with your own.
Another way to add CSS is with CSS Hero. This plugin makes adding custom CSS to WordPress themes easy, even for beginners. If you are interested in using it, then just check out our CSS Hero review.
How to Edit WordPress Theme Files
At times, some tutorials may require you to edit your WordPress theme files to make changes beyond what your built-in theme features allow. In this case, we recommend:
Creating a child theme first. This is like a copy of your WordPress theme that you can safely customize with some coding.
Backing up your website. It’s a good measure to do so that you can restore your website to a previous version in case of errors.
Editing a WordPress theme file requires going to your WordPress file directory from the backend. To do this, you will need to open your hosting provider’s file manager or connect to your website with an FTP client.
If you use Bluehost, then you can go to your dashboard and open the ‘Websites’ tab. After that, click ‘Settings’ on the website for which you want to open the theme files.
Now, simply scroll down to the ‘Quick Links’ section.
Then, click ‘File Manager.’ If you’re not sure where your root folder is, you can check the ‘Document Root’ function to see its path.
Once inside the file manager, you can go to your website’s root folder (usually named public_html).
Then, head to /wp-content/themes and find your current theme folder.
After that, you will find all of your WordPress theme files, which you can edit using a text editor.
Here are some things you can do by editing WordPress theme files:
If you want to add new custom code rather than editing the code that is already within your theme files, then we recommend using WPCode. It’s the best WordPress code snippets plugin for easily inserting and managing custom code snippets.
With this plugin, you won’t have to worry about accidentally breaking your website. WPCode will let you know if there are errors in the code and deactivate it. Plus, you can create PHP shortcodes for inserting custom content into your website.
To see WPCode in action, you can check out our full WPCode review in the WPBeginner Solution Center.
What Is the Best Way to Edit a WordPress Site for Beginners?
For beginners, we always recommend installing a page builder plugin like SeedProd to edit WordPress websites. The reason is that it’s just as easy to use as the block editor yet gives you much more control over your website design.
If you don’t want to use a plugin, then the next best thing is a block theme with the Full Site Editor. This feature is not entirely developed yet because WordPress is constantly working on the Gutenberg project. But as of now, it’s pretty user-friendly.
The Theme Customizer is not as flexible as the Full Site Editor because it lacks drag-and-drop functionality. That’s why we suggest classic theme users install SeedProd to improve their user experience.
As for coding, we only recommend it if you have created a child theme and backups of your site to avoid errors. But with the WPCode plugin, adding custom code to edit your WordPress site is much safer and won’t cause any errors or break your website.
Do you want to add custom shape dividers to your WordPress website?
Shape dividers can organize your content in an engaging and eye-catching way. They can also highlight your site’s most important content, so visitors and customers don’t miss out on crucial information.
In this article, we will show you how to create a custom shape divider in WordPress.
Why Create a Custom Shape Divider in WordPress?
A shape divider is a type of section divider that you add between blocks of content.
These dividers can be simple, such as a horizontal line created with built-in WordPress blocks.
You can use these basic dividers to organize and separate content, which is particularly useful on pages that cover lots of different topics.
You can also create more advanced shape dividers using page builder plugins and other web design software. These can highlight your site’s most important content so it stands out to visitors and customers.
A professional-looking shape divider can also make a page more interesting and engaging.
For example, you might use them to create a unique background for your email newsletter signup form.
With that being said, let’s see how you can create a custom shape divider in WordPress. Simply use the quick links below to jump straight to the method you want to use.
Method 1. Create a Simple Shape Divider (No Plugin Required)
The easiest way to add a custom shape divider to WordPress is by using the built-in Separator block.
This method allows you to add a horizontal line separator in between any WordPress blocks, and then customize the line’s color and style.
This method doesn’t let you add different shapes to WordPress and has limited customization settings. However, you won’t need to install an extra WordPress plugin, so this is the easiest way to add a simple shape divider to your website.
To get started, simply open the post or page where you want to add an horizontal divider in the content editor. Then, click on the ‘+’ button where you want to place that divider.
In the popup, type in ‘Separator.’
When the right block appears, click to add it to the page or post.
To customize the default Separator block, give it a click and then use the settings in the right-hand menu.
You can switch between default, wide line, and dots using the buttons in the ‘Styles’ section.
You can also change the line’s color so that it matches the rest of your theme or branding.
To do this, click on ‘Background’ and then choose a color from the popup that appears.
When you’re happy with how the divider looks, you can either click on the ‘Publish’ or ‘Update’ button to make the shape divider live.
Method 2. Create a Custom Shape Divider in WordPress Using a Page Builder (Recommended)
If you are looking to use different shape and customize every part of your dividers, then we recommend using the SeedProd plugin.
SeedProd is the best WordPress page builder plugin on the market, and it allows you to add a custom shape divider to any section, row, or column using a simple drag-and-drop editor.
Note: There is a free version of SeedProd on available on WordPress.org, but we’ll be using the Pro version since it comes with a wide range of shape dividers.
The first thing you need to do is install and activate the SeedProd plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, you need to enter your license key.
You can find this information under your account on the SeedProd website. After entering the license key, click on the ‘Verify Key’ button.
With that done, go to SeedProd » Pages and click on the ‘Add New Landing Page’ button.
After that, it’s time to choose a page design template. SeedProd has a ton of professionally-designed templates that you can fine-tune to perfectly suit your WordPress website.
To select a template, simply hover your mouse over it and then click the ‘Checkmark’ icon.
Next, go ahead and type in a name for the page. SeedProd will automatically create a URL based on the page’s title, but you can change the URL to anything you want.
For example, you may want to add some relevant keywords, which will help search engines understand what the page is about and may improve your WordPress SEO.
When you’re happy with the information you’ve entered, click on the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button.
Next, you’ll be taken to the drag-and-drop page builder, ready to customize the template.
The SeedProd editor shows a live preview of your design to the right and some block settings on the left.
The left-hand menu also has blocks that you can drag onto your layout.
For example, you can drag and drop standard blocks like buttons and images or use advanced blocks such as the countdown timer, contact form, social sharing buttons, and more.
To customize a block, just click to select it in your layout.
The left-hand menu will then show all the settings you can use to configure that block. You can also change the page’s background colors, add background images, or change the color scheme and fonts to better match your brand.
SeedProd also comes with ‘Sections,’ which are collections of blocks that are often used together. For example, SeedProd has a header section, hero image, call to action, customer testimonials, FAQs, features, footer sections, and more.
To look through the different sections, simply click on the ‘Sections’ tab.
You can move sections and blocks around your layout using drag and drop.
If you want to delete a block, then simply hover over it and then click on the trash can icon when it appears.
Whether or not you choose to use a SeedProd section, you can now create a custom shape divider. Simply click to select the section, row, or column where you want to add the divider.
Then, click on the ‘Advanced’ tab in the left-hand menu.
Now, click to expand the ‘Shape Divider’ section.
To start, you can choose where to show the shape divider by selecting either the ‘Top’ or ‘Bottom’ button.
You can now open the ‘Type’ menu and choose the shape divider that you want to use.
As you select different shapes, the live preview will update automatically so you can try different styles to see what looks the best.
After choosing a shape divider, you can style it using the new settings.
To start, you can click on ‘Color’ and then choose a new color from the popup that appears.
With that done, you can make the divider bigger or smaller by dragging the ‘Width’ and ‘Height’ sliders.
If you already have a specific size in mind, then you can type those numbers into the boxes.
You can also try flipping the divider by clicking to enable or disable the ‘Flip’ switch.
By default, the divider will appear behind the rest of the content, so users can clearly see any text, images, or other content that overlaps the divider.
However, moving the shape to the front can create some interesting effects. If you want to see how this looks, then simply click to enable the ‘Bring to Front’ switch.
To add more dividers simply follow the same process described above.
You can even add a shape divider to the top and bottom of an area, which often creates some impressive and eye-catching results.
You can continue working on the page by adding more blocks and customizing those blocks in the left-hand menu.
When you’re happy with how the page looks, click the ‘Save’ button. You can then select ‘Publish’ to make that page live.
How to Add Shape Dividers to a WordPress Theme
SeedProd’s drag-and-drop editor gives you the freedom to add a unique shape divider to any page. However, sometimes you may want to use the same shape dividers on multiple pages, or even across your entire WordPress blog or website.
This will help you create a consistent design and can also save you a ton of time. In this case, we recommend adding a shape divider to your theme using the SeedProd theme builder.
With SeedProd, you can create a custom WordPress theme without writing any code. It creates all the files that make up your theme, including the sidebar, header, footer, single posts, and more.
You can then customize these files using the familiar drag-and-drop builder. This includes adding shape dividers by following the same process described above.
When you activate the new theme using SeedProd, it will overwrite your existing WordPress theme, so you should only use this method if you want to replace your current theme.
It isn’t very unusual to see developers having sorts of debates and discussions on the emerging tech topics, but the moment things go beyond developer discussion and dive into the mainstream where you and I hear them, they quickly get listed in controversial issues. Well, today’s topic is how the dawn of WordPress 5.0 featuring Read More →
