Talking heads are not so exciting! ColoursĪfter being spoiled for choice in Twenty Sixteen, its descendant has gone back to basics with two colour schemes – Light and Dark. This feature is tailor-made for certain types of videos e.g. YouTube videos are an option too, but make sure you use an HD video – and you have permission. Ideally, choose an image that is similar to your video content, maybe a video still. Sensibly, on a phone the header image you set is used as a fallback. I found that the video showed on my laptop and iPad, but not on my smartphone. The video I chose was 5MB, even though it was a short clip. I downloaded one from Pixabay’s stock video library (free and public domain). The snag is that only the home page supports video.Īlso remember that there will be no sound! This is the exciting part, where you can add a full-screen header video. Logos with strong typography or symbols seem to work best. Yes? A smaller version of the logo (80 x 80 px) shows to the left of the site title.No? The logo shows alone, 200 x 200 px on the home page and smaller on other pages.The logo size and positioning depends if you want to show the site title and tagline. The recommended shape is a square logo 250 x 250 px. You can upload a logo to Twenty Seventeen. Other Customizer Options Site Identity – Add a Logo Make sure that you optimize your images before upload to keep the file size low. The featured images added in starter content are 2000 x 1200 px, so that is the size I would recommend.
If you want to add your own pages, each will need a featured image.

Here’s what the theme looks like with starter content added in a one column layout (click for the full size version): One further option is to have the page titles and content in one column or two. Nothing is added to your site until you save and publish the content. You can adjust the positioning of the sections in the Customizer and preview them in the right-hand pane. Add an image to a section by setting a featured image in the page editor. Select pages to feature in each area from the dropdowns. It shows up on the homepage but not in the menu. A homepage section – this is a page in its own right.The theme suggests a homepage layout with 5 new pages: You’ll only see this option if you are on the homepage in the Customizer. The Theme Options section in the WordPress Customizer (Appearance > Customize) is where you’ll find a new feature, starter content. You can add further social links in the same manner as for Twenty Fifteen theme. The Social Links menu is right at the bottom, in the page footer. On other pages, it is just under the header bar and moves up on scroll. On the homepage, it sits at the bottom of the screen until you scroll down, when it moves up to the top. On the homepage, it sits at the bottom of the screen until you scroll The Top Menu position varies dependent on which page you’re on and where you are on the page. The two menu areas are the Top Menu and Social Links menu. You need to create them in Appearance > Menus or in the Customizer. Twenty Seventeen doesn’t show menus by default. The line-height is set at 24px for paragraph text, but somehow the text looks quite cramped compared to headings. If neither are available, Arial, Helvetica or a sans-serif font will be displayed.īody font size is the same as Twenty Sixteen – 16px or 1 rem.
Twenty Seventeen uses the Libre Franklin Google font, with Helvetica Neue as the main fallback font. Scrolling up and down highlights the parallax scroll effect on the image. On tablet and mobile, Twenty Seventeen looks like this: there is the option to use a fullwidth video background instead of an image. WordPress has jumped upon the popular trend of themes with full-screen images.Īs we’ll discover later. When installed on a fresh site, Twenty Seventeen looks like this on desktop: It’s intended to have more of a business focus than the previous yearly themes released with WordPress. ( user? Twenty Seventeen became available on on 13 April 2017.) Twenty Seventeen was designed by Mel Choyce of Automattic.
I decided to take a deep dive into what it can do. This theme is designed more for business than bloggers. WordPress 4.7 has just been released with the new Twenty Seventeen theme.
