Keith,
Thank you very much for your help! I'll try to html txt for the page name.
__________________________________
File->Preferences-->CSS Prefix.
I put that html code in this? It's just a one line text box.
You don't mean the "Custom CSS" box do you????

Yes! LOL! I was just quoting (badly and quickly) from a post support had made earlier and I didn't proofread. Yes, just plug the code I gave you into the "Custom CSS" box and it will save along with your template. (Do make sure that "ttr_" is in the "CSS Prefix" box, however.)
What it does is hide anything you put between the Heading 1 tags (<H1></H1>) in your posts or pages. Which means you also can't use that tag in your own writing anywhere on your site or it won't show up! Just use H2 through H6, though. I've found that's plenty.
Keith,I saw in a WP video, when making a static page to make a new "fake" page along with a Welcome page .....sounds like what you're talking about in TT; I just haven't seen how to add pages in TT. - or is that their PageTemplate 1 & PageTemplate 2 ?
Let's make sure we're clear on terms. "Posts" and "Pages" are things you create in WordPress. I know there are programs (such as Artisteer) that appear to let you create WordPress content within the program but I'd advise against it. It usually turns out badly!
Use a theme designer to design your theme's look and feel; create content in WordPress.
What you
can create in TT, and TT makes it quick and easy, are Page Templates. Page Templates are a way to make slight, but very useful, layout variations in your page layout.
Let's make one because that's the best way to see how it all works.
Start with the theme you're creating now. In TT, look at the options under "General" and click "Add/Edit Page Template".
A pop-up menu will appear asking if you want to Add, Modify, or Delete a template, and you will see PageTemplate 1 and PageTemplate 2 in the window. Click on PageTemplate 1 and select Modify. TT will ask you to rename it. (That's the only "modification" you can do here! They should call the selection "Rename" instead of "Modify." :D )
I like to use the name "Canvas" because it makes me feel artistic and clever. So just type in "Canvas" and click OK.
Now when you look under the menu bar, you now see that you have
index,
Canvas, and
Page Template 2. "Index" is highlighted because that's the theme you've been creating.
Click on Canvas so it becomes highlighted, and
everything on your menu becomes disabled except General, and
everything within General is disabled except Layout and Sidebars. Why is that? Because you've already designed what your site is going to look like and Canvas (as well as Page Template 2, etc.) will pick up all of those features.
The only change you can make to Canvas (or any Page Template you make) in TT is Header, Menu, Footer configuration and the Sidebar configuration. You can't change anything about their appearance, only whether they are present or not present, and where they are on the page.
As I said above, we're not actually going to
create pages here--you'll do that in WordPress. We're just creating different ways that our pages could look. And if you think about it, these Template layouts alone can give you a lot of variety.
For this template, let's leave Layout (Header, Menu, and Footer) as they are, which will match the rest of your site. But under Sidebars, let's choose "None." Now, even though a page on your site that uses the Canvas template will retain the Header, Menu, and Footer you designed, the rest of that page will essentially be a blank canvas for you to design.
Now export your WordPress theme and upload. Within WordPress, open a new page for editing. Look for a box that says "Page Attributes" with a pull-down menu that says "Template." You'll see your options are
Default Template (that's the one TT has been calling "index" and is exactly the way you designed it),
Canvas (which you just created), and
Page Template 2 (which has just been going along for the ride).
(If you've already uploaded a version of your theme before, you might also see
Page Template 1, which was left over from earlier uploads.)
Select "Canvas" and open that page for editing. You'll see it has no sidebars, no matter how you designed your site.
Do as you please!
I don't know if you find all this useful or not. If you do and want to know how to use Aqua Page Builder to throw three text columns into Canvas, let me know.
