How to make use of the Projects feature
Covell's unique feature is the Projects custom post type.
When Covell is activated, Projects section appears in the dashboard below Posts.
To create a new Project entry, click on Add New.
Enter a title, project description, click on "Set featured image" link and select one, optionally a layout that this project page (single view) should use and hit Publish.
Repeat this for as many projects as you want.
To visit the page that lists all projects, go to www.yoursite.com/projects. Note: Do not create a Page titled "Projects".
Note that projects page has been designed to only show featured images and not content of the projects. Each featured image will link to its project page (single view).
How to display Projects instead of posts on Posts page
Before:
After:
Edit theme's index.php.
Add the following above <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php if(is_home()) { query_posts(array('post_type'=>'builder_projects', 'paged' => get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ); } ?>
