There are two types of Google Services that Pikart Base uses in order to enhance the existing theme features: Location<\/em><\/strong> and\u00a0Analytics\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>services. Each of them requires specific data from Google in order to make them working on Ombra.<\/p>\n
Location<\/p><\/div>\n
This section allows you to manage the map, that could be\u00a0generated with Map<\/strong> shortcode. You can display on the Google Map<\/em>\u00a0as\u00a0many addresses as you need to\u00a0pin on it. The following options are available:<\/p>\n

- API Key\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 in order to use Google Maps you must authenticate your site with an API key.\u00a0As of June 2016<\/a>, the key is a requirement from Google that is necessary in order to make the map on your site functional.\u00a0Follow the instructions and\u00a0Get the API key<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Social Services\u00a0\u2014 as the name already says it\u00a0\u2014 are intended to connect and adapt Ombra Theme to diverse social networks. There are two types of Social Services: Share and Likes.<\/p>\n
Share<\/p><\/div>\n
This section\u00a0enables your viewers to share your posts, pages or projects via social networks. Encourage your visitors to spread your content across a large range of social networks and drive more traffic to your site.<\/p>\n
Social sharing experience is possible due to AddThis<\/a>, which offers quite a large number of supported social services, each identified by a specific, lowercase name<\/em> that you can find on this list<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Besides those social networks, there are another three unique buttons that you can use:<\/p>\n
\n- \n
- The\u00a0more\u00a0<\/b>button that will open up a popup where people can search for their particular service.<\/li>\n
- The counter<\/strong> button\u00a0is\u00a0a global share counter that\u00a0counts how many times your page was shared<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0preferred<\/b>\u00a0button type that displays your visitor’s favorite social services, saving him the time of finding them. This feature allows you to get\u00a0to a wider audience since there are many social services nowadays, in different languages, and you cannot cover them all. You can have multiple <\/b>preferred <\/b>buttons, and they will be filled with various social services automatically. You can find more about this here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>
Example of how to insert Social Services\u00a0<\/strong>below:<\/p>\n
facebook,preferred,preferred,counter,more<\/strong><\/p>\n
On the page it is displayed, there will be the following icons: facebook icon, next two icons depend on visitor\u00a0most used social networks, the counter button and the more button.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

<\/p>\nLikes<\/p><\/div>\n
Likes Area was conceived in a similar way the Facebook Likes\u00a0<\/em>work and is intended to encourage your site’s visitors to interact with site content. You can add Likes functionality for Posts, Pages,\u00a0Projects and Products.<\/p>\n

The menus represent an important tool for an easy navigation through your site, that is why we recommend to explore all its locations.<\/p>\n
The Primary Menu<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0will be always in your Site Header<\/em> and it is the most seen part of your site. The Footer Menu<\/em><\/strong>, located in the footer of your site, usually contains just the critical items necessary to navigate, like Home or Contact pages. The last one is Social Menu<\/em><\/strong>, where you will be able to insert Custom Links referred to social websites (like Facebook<\/em>, LinkedIn<\/em>, Pinterest<\/em>, Twitter<\/em> etc.)<\/p>\n
Keep in mind<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0In order to set up a Social Menu, you need to do the following steps:<\/p>\n
- \n
- In your Dashboard, go to Appearance\u00a0\u2192 Menus<\/em><\/strong> to bring up the Menu Editor<\/li>\n
- Select Create a new menu<\/strong><\/em> at the top of the page<\/li>\n
- Enter a name for your new menu in the Menu Name<\/em><\/strong> box and click Create Menu<\/em><\/strong> button<\/li>\n
- Go to Menu Settings<\/em><\/strong> at the bottom of page\u00a0and find Display location<\/em><\/strong> field where you choose Social<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Find Custom Links<\/em><\/strong> on the left side, enter the link of the social network (for example, https:\/\/www.facebook.com<\/em>)\u00a0in the URL<\/em><\/strong> field and the name of the social network at Navigation Label\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(for example, Facebook<\/em>), then click on Add to Menu<\/em><\/strong> button. Follow this step for as many social links you need.<\/li>\n

<\/p>\nBeyond the WordPress basic functionality of its menus and various locations, Pikart Base comes with a new feature represented by Wide Menu.<\/p>\n
The Wide Menu options extend the basic functionality of a WordPress menu. Wide Menu allows you to customize the submenus of Primary Menu<\/strong><\/em>. After enabling the Wide Menu checkbox,\u00a0<\/em>the first level of submenus are extended up to the site width<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0There is also couple of extra features conceived to enhance Wide Menu behaviour (that do work just when Wide Menu is activated and Primary location is selected):<\/em><\/p>\n
- \n
- Number of columns<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 choose how many columns of submenus to appear inside the Wide Menu item: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6<\/li>\n
- Background Image<\/strong> \u2014 choose an image to be used as background for Wide Menu item<\/li>\n
- Custom Widget Area<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 it is available for children of Wide Menu items. In order to add a Widget Area, you need to go to Appearance\u00a0\u2192 Widgets<\/em> and add a new sidebar at Add Custom Sidebar<\/em><\/strong><\/a> section. After doing so, you will be able to set up a Custom Widget Area inside the children of Wide Menu items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
