Hi,

I am hoping you can help me with a few things.

Custom Post Types

I am using Pods to create CPT. I am trying to edit the Archive page template but am having a few issues.

I have created this search archive template using the Search and Filter Results page – link is in the next email. I would like to try and get the Home Design CPT Archive page to display like this.

On the Home Design Archive page I need to:

1. Change the Read More text to View Home Design
2. I am trying to show the Category but for some reason even though I have it turned on in the Meta it is not returning a value. All the other meta works just not the category. I had to add some code in the functions to get each of the Home Design Category pages to populate so not sure if that needs to be edited for this?
3. To display the 4 icons and text I have created an element and then put the shortcode into the excerpt. Is there a better way to do this can I use an existing hook for this so I don’t need to add it into all the home design excerpts? I am not that crash hot on creating archive post templates through pods so I am trying to get things to work as best I can.

Header

The client would like the header to have two nav bars underneath each other.

There are other sites where I have found this would be useful if the logo could merge all 3 rows of the first column and then the other columns stay as normal. Kind of like in the footer how you have the Column Direction I think that would be great to have in the header as well.

I have the two nav bars under each other with a top margin at -20px but it’s not really sitting right. Any ideas on how I can get this to sit a bit better?

Thanks for your time.

Kind Regards Mel
