Editing Pages and Posts ​

In Trigger, pages are created as in any other WordPress theme. The key difference is that after creating a page, you need to click the Edit with Elementor button to use the live page builder. Let's go through the process step by step by creating a new portfolio item from scratch.

Custom Post Types

The theme includes Portfolio Items and Services post types. To customize these, see Custom Post Types.

▶️ Step 1. ​

Go to Admin Panel → Portfolio Items and click Add New.

▶️ Step 2. ​

Fill in the page with initial content:

  1. Title (required).
  2. Subheading (optional) – additional text appearing above the title.
  3. Description (optional) – additional text appearing below the title.
  4. Portfolio Categories (optional) – taxonomy.
  5. Portfolio Years (optional) – taxonomy.
  6. Featured Image (optional but recommended) – main post thumbnail.
  7. Secondary Featured Image (optional) – alternate featured image.
  8. Featured Video (optional) – self-hosted video background.

Too low file size limit?

If you're struggling with uploading large media files due to a small file size limit, adjust these PHP directives in your hosting panel’s php.ini file:

properties
upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size       = 32M

▶️ Step 3. ​

Click Publish. The post will be saved, and you can now use the page builder. Click the Edit with Elementor button.

Displaying in Dynamic Widgets ​

Once you save a new portfolio item, it will automatically appear in widgets that fetch dynamic data on your site.
