      Wes,

      I can’t say how thrilled I am about your new update. Full-width, parallax, etc. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. I’m still a bit of a newbie to code, not design and layout. I’m currently using Genesis Extender to code and make changes.

      My question – how do I access some of these new areas and features like parallax, changing backgrounds and the other more recent updates? Somethings I see I have access to like full width. Do you have an documents, videos, to show how to setup or access those areas?

      Thanks!! Michael

        To change the backgrounds without css, take a look at your WordPress admin, and look for “Customizer” under the “Appearance” tab/link. Then click “Background Images” and you can see the sections where you can add your images.

        For the Parallax code, take a look at this recent comment of mine – https://appfinite.com/topic/parallax-feature-option-activation/#post-11937

        The documentation will show up in a different area as soon as I get it done, but the original docs can be found in the Yellow Sticky Posts at the top of the Epik forum – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/ From there you can see all of the code snippets/tutorials that explain how code was added in certain places.

          Hey Wes,

          On my theme the only there is only one background available, not the multiples as in Square One. also my feature section remains the same default color no matter which color I choose. I purchased through Studio Press, not sure if I have complete update although the after entry widget is present. Please advise thank you.

                It’s missing this –

                //* Add Image upload to WordPress Theme Customizer
                add_action( 'customize_register', 'epik_customizer' );
                function epik_customizer(){
                
                	require_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/lib/customize.php' );
                	
                }
                
                //* Include Section Image CSS
                include_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/lib/output.php' );

                Add that inside your functions file. I’ll be including this in the next update soon, but the above code should fix it.

                  Hey Wes, that took care of the background images, awesome thank you.

                  What do I need to do to get the home featured section color. section to change? It stays on the default color.

                  Thank you again,

                  Hayward

                    You’d have to change that using css, since that background uploader is for images. However, I’ve made it a bit easier to do this. Take a look in your css and you’ll see a section like this –

                    /* Home Feature Classes */
                     
                    /*You can add background images/colors to each section of the homepage by adding them to the classes below.
                    */
                    
                    .hf1,
                    .hf3,
                    .hf4,
                    .hf5,
                    .hf6,
                    .hf7,
                    .hf8,
                    .hf9,
                    .hf14 {
                    	-webkit-background-size: cover;
                    	-moz-background-size: cover;
                    	background-attachment: fixed;
                    	background-repeat: no-repeat;
                    	background-size: cover;
                    }
                    
                    .hf1 {}
                    
                    .hf3 {}
                    
                    .hf4 {}
                    
                    .hf5 {}
                    
                    .hf6 {}
                    
                    .hf7 {}
                    
                    .hf8 {}
                    
                    .hf9 {}
                    
                    .hf14 {}
                    

                    So if you add a background color to any of those it will override the default color. Example –

                    .hf1 {
                        background-color: #000
                    }
