Designing a Landing Page for PPC
Permalink
Hi Guys,
I have just discovered that I seem to be able to use multiple themes on one website. I didnt realise that this was possible?
I have been looking for some time for a way to design "simply" a number of landing pages with navigation disabled, for my use with Google PPC.
Modifying the theme Luminosity ( great theme) seems to me to need a level of skill that I dont have, to add a single page without navigation and I havent seen any docs on here to help.
Is the best way to accomplish this task to use/create an additional theme for this sole purpose?
TIA

I tried that, and all the header info, which also includes the menu navigation is automatically brought in. If I could delete the block that has the menu in it that would help, but I cant edit/delete that block in the header.
if you created a page type called landing,
go to /packages/<theme>/themes/<themename>/ copy the default.php and rename it landing.php,
open that file, and at the top, change header to header2,
go into the elements folder, copy header.php and name it header2.php, open that up do a search for autonav delete everything in that block of code
(in that template its hardcoded)

That worked. You detailed instructions were spot on. You are a prince among men. Thankyou.
What theme are you using? Have you tried editing the landing type page in Dashboard> Themes> Page Types> and clicking "Defaults". If the autonav is a block you can delete it here and then it will disappear from all the "landing" page types.
Luminosity based on the 960 grid system, which is a great theme, although I am finding the code hard to follow. The menu/autonav is not a block that is editable, I dont know if or how that can be predefined to be editable or "not".
I am keeping my fingers crossed that the solution that Mnkras has suggested works. :-)
Onwards and upwards.

go to Dashboard> Pages & Themes> Page Types>
at the bottom of this page is a button that says "add page type" click that. give your new page type a lowercase handle name (something like: landing ) and then name the page Landing.
Now when you create a page with this page type the default navigation will be excluded.
