\n CuTheme Update: 7 Key Changes for Content Editors (Flexible Homepages)\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Hey! Yeah, hey – you! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a regular WordPress user, we\u2019ve got some news to share that’s really going to brighten your day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s about our new CuTheme which, if you haven\u2019t heard about already, is an <\/span>update on 杏吧原创\u2019s current theme.<\/span><\/a> Yeah – that\u2019s right. If you\u2019re not already excited, you\u2019re about to be.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An update to 杏吧原创\u2019s current theme means a few different things for WordPress content creators, including…<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More flexible homepages!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the current theme, homepages have a set number of content blocks, and while you can rearrange the order and layout, you can\u2019t add any in addition to what\u2019s already there. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what that looks like now:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current homepage layout has proven to be pretty limiting for WordPress users, so that\u2019s why we\u2019re happy to say that the new theme allows you to add as many different blocks as you would like, in any order.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right. You have total and complete freedom of choice. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the new theme, you build out your homepage the same way you would any other page on your site: with blocks<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you basically start with a blank slate – no pre-set structure. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s just as simple as adding whatever blocks you\u2019d like to a page in whatever order.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That looks a little something like this:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, go crazy! Okay – well not too crazy. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a good idea to have some sense of structure, so we recommend following the template outlined in the old theme, but encourage you to add your own flourishes wherever you see fit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your website is your oyster – now even more so with new, flexible homepages.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This our sixth of seven blog posts we\u2019re rolling out about the new cuTheme, so stay tuned in the coming weeks for number seven. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you haven\u2019t already, be sure to check out our <\/span>past blog posts<\/span><\/a> to keep yourself up to date on the changes you can expect in the new cuTheme.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
