Updated over a week ago

Headliner is a fresh, bold theme designed to organize a captive audience. As a responsive theme, it works seamlessly across devices. (See a demo.)

Features:

  • Responsive theme: Design automatically adjusts and optimizes to fit the size of your screen (iPhone/iPad/Desktop ready)

  • Inline sign in flow

  • Off canvas nav when viewing the theme on a mobile device

  • Off canvas sidebar to maximize content area

  • Featured Content Sliders that span the entire width and height of your window to better showcase your featured images

  • The calendar homepage widget is scrollable if more than five events are displayed

  • Customizable icons

  • Staged donations

  • Widget that links to the public bios of recent supporters of your nation

General Guidelines:

  • Since the logo overlaps the navigation bar background, it should be prepared in a transparent PNG format.

  • Since Featured Content Sliders span the browser area, slider images are suggested to be at least 1024px wide, with an aspect ratio of around 16:9 (for a 1024px wide image, the height should be around 576px).

  • The top navigation will change to an off canvas nav when viewing Headliner on a mobile device such as an iPhone or iPad. Tap the icon with three lines to the left of your site name or site logo to activate the menu.

  • You can override icons by first cloning Headliner, and then editing the _icons.scss file. Icons are displayed via a span class. To change the icon, simply change the properties of those classes.

  • The recommended header image size 1024x204px (1024px wide image, with a height 204px).

  • If both a header image and a Featured Content Slider are enabled, only the Featured Content Slider will be displayed.

  • Blog pages will arrange blog posts in a tiled format, with an image attachment of each post set as its respective tile's background image.

  • The content background will become transparent when a site background image is used.

  • If a site background image is used, it should be 1366px wide by 768px high or larger.

  • Navigation links will align left if the nav bar spans multiple rows.

  • Navigation link alignment, login form overlay display, sidebar/supporter nav display and positioning, calendar homepage widget container behavior, and other dynamic features are driven by the headliner.js script in the Files tab of your theme.

  • To split the default single address field into separate fields, use the instructions provided this article.
