Overrides

The new Gantry Framework, brings parallels of unheard functionality to WordPress. When WordPress was first born, it is primarily used for blogging, but since then it has evolved towards being a content management system, as well as one of the leading blog softwares available today.

With Gantry you are able to specify different preset styles (called overrides), of which you can assign to menu items, tags, categories, and taxonomies.

How to create an override:

In the Reaction Gantry settings panel, click on the Add button to create the new override, and then the Edit button to change the name. Please remember to press Enter button in order to finish editing new name.

Override Name

Now you are able to set new options for your new override, like for example the preset style that you would like to use:

Overriding a setting

You will also notice in the gantry tab, a 1 has appeared. This is to show you how many overrides have been invoked on that tab.

Now that a gantry setting has been overridden, lets assign it to one of the many different types of Assignments that Gantry has to offer, a Menu Item.

Click on the Assignments tab, and you will see various types of assignments that you can use. Now check the Menu Item Features, and click the button below to Add to Assigned, and you will see it in the Assigned Overrides list.

Assigning an Override

Click Save Changes, and then navigate to the frontend of the site, and click Features on the main menu, and you will see that the style has changed, to the style number that you specified in the override.

You can also assign widgets to different positions as well using Gantry, which allows you to have unprecedented control over how your WordPress blog’s design and functionality.

To use this functionality, make sure that your new override is set in the override drop box, and click the widget button at the top of the gantry theme settings panel.

Widget Overrides Button

You will then be taken to the widget settings page, where you will notice a change in the widget positions names.

Widget Positions Override Option

You can override a widget position by checking the tick box next to the widget position, and then either remove the widget(s) or add a widget to the override position.

Client Testimonials

Wonderful, friendly service. Thank you so much for looking after us!

Faye Chandler, Oliver Chandler Limited

I would gladly recommend Keeley to anybody who is looking for a conscientious, detailed and hard working accounting professional. Both individually, during her career before Magenta, and now as part of the wider Magenta Accounts team Keeley has looked after my financial well-being over the last fifteen years, and has done it exquisitely well. In fact, so happy am I to recommend Keeley, that four of my closest friends now have their company finances managed by Keeley's safe hands at Magenta.

Mike Boreham. Managing Director, Quiddity Solutions Limited

Magenta have handled our payroll and invoicing for three years, and have had an extremely positive impact on Semantic. Between them the team now handle all my personal and professional needs.

Nick Warren. Managing Director, Semantic Limited

Keeley has handled all my tax affairs for many years and I cannot speak highly enough about the professional level of service she has provided. Her efficiency and knowledge mean that my tax affairs are handled swiftly and competently making the whole experience pleasurable and cost effective.

Linda Green

Just a note to say how impressed I have been with Magenta Accounts and the service that you have provided me within my first 6 months of setting up my business. With being a new business, making sure I generate income immediately is vital, so by knowing that you are taking away of all my financial duties from me such as making small payments to providing monthly management accounts allows me to focus more of my time on other aspects such as growing the business and generating revenue. Each member of staff provides a personal and prompt service and it is comforting to know that whoever I speak to at Magenta Accounts, each member of staff is fully aware of my accounts and the current situation. I would fully recommend your company to any business who is looking for a service that not only helps take away the stress of looking after money, but also helps you grow as a business.

Michael Dyble, Managing Director, Dybles Limited

Keeley and her team are fantastic at providing the right advice, expert skills and taking the headache of accounting away from me, allowing me to spend more time on my business, not in it. Highly recommended local, friendly company.
