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:

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.
