Best Reloaded – A Bootstrap 3 Powered WordPress Theme
The theme is still a little rough around the edges so I would appreciate you reporting any problem you find, no matter how small.
3 customizable featured areas per page
Theme comes equipt with a set of 3 matching featured areas per page. You can customize each of them on a page-per-page basis using custom-meta values.
Each area has a contextual variant so you can experiment with different color combinations and find what works best.
There’s an unlimited amount of ways you make use of these.
There’s a variety of different colors and button styles for you to choose from to give these areas context and allow you to get the look matching the feel of the content just right.
Welcome Text
This is right below the site title. Use it to say something about your site or highlight something. Perfect for marketing purposes. There’s 2 versions of this used.
- Homepage Welcome Text – this appears on only the homepage & archives pages. Use it to introduce yourself and your site.
- Inner Welcome Text – Split-test up to 4 variations of the welcome text on inner pages of your site.
Override the welcome text on a specific page by setting the custom meta “fbo” to “true”. You can then set your own featured text using custom meta “fbo-text” and add your markup as the value. Additionally you can remove the bar from a page by setting “fbo” to “true” but leaving “fbo-text” empty.
Standard markup wrapping this area is:
<div class="featured-bar"> <div class="row"> <!--Enter your columns of content--> </row> </div>
(you can use this markup when overriding to maintain a consistent look)
Post Opening & Ending Featured Areas
These sections are set-up primarily to act as a widget areas. Place an adverts widget here or a newsletter signup form.
Use the opening slot to start your post off with a compelling offer.
The ending slot is perfect for a newsletter signup or a call to action so you never leave readers stuck not knowing what they should do next.
Default usage is similar to what’s used in the intro-text area.
<div class="featured-bar featured-bar-post"> <div class="row"> <!--Enter your content--> </row> </div> Post Opening Featured Area
Override this with the meta “ofo” value “true” to remove. Set “ofo-text” with your markup to specify the section per page.

Sometimes there’s a specific post you want to highlight. Other times you might want to capitalize on some unexpected success and turn that post into a landing page.
