Question for OptimizePress users

[BillyBee]

Question --- can you build multi-faceted pages using OptimizePress -- or are they all single-column sales letter type pages?

Sales pages are a foundation to my sites but I like to put up content pages, too, and I wonder if you can also have 2 and 3-column layouts on your site.

You can create 2 column pages and incorporate normal widgets in the sidebar and you can have different sidebars and display different ones on different pages.

You can set up as many pages as you want but you can only have 8 pages in the menu structure. But you can set up a widget to display all the other pages and categories so you can add content and show the link to it as normal.

Hope this helps
Cheers

That's helpful, Mark, thanks.

Can you add menu tabs at the top of the home page to link to other pages?

Two more questions about OptimizePress:

1. Does it let you do tab-based navigation, say, at the top where you want to have links to some other pages.

2. Can you have a blog page, where people can comment?

Thanks for your help!

I am really interested to find this out myself too.
Is it a feature or a work-a-round sort to job to get it to work like a blog page.

I would love to see examples.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Does anybody know how we actually set the blog posts to appear? I have created a blog page and set posts to appear on this page in "reading" but I am getting nothing!

Did you use the right template? I don't really know how it works with blogging but try static page (optimize press is totaly different)

[linkwhizz]

Hi, yeah I tried static page. It just duplicates my front page to the blog then, its very starnge.

I just want my posts to appear on an inner page but it doesnt seem possible with this theme!

[daangertenaar]

Well I've tried it once and it did work out, but I really forgot on how to do this.. however it took me some time to figure it out, that's what I do remember .

[linkwhizz]

Thanks anyway, if it comes back to you feel free to post back here!

I just joined your list, seems interesting.

It is always possible to add new domains to the license?

suso,

OptimizePress says on the sales page that you can use it for as many web sites as you want -- as long as you own them yourself. So, your license should be just fine for anything you want to do.

With optimize press can you build adsense sites?

I know this is a really old post to bump, but its what came up in google when trying to figure out how to set the front page of optimize press to show blog posts, and I see that question is still unanswered... I figured others may be looking for an answer and since I figured it out I thought I'd share because it is kind of confusing...

Ok, what you do is create a page (I just made a page called home, with no content in it) and then set that to be the default page under in the settings -> reading ...

Then on that page set the template to use "Blog Template" and hit update... its a done deal... I mean its kinda the whole cool thing about optimize press is that every page on your site can have a different template if you wanted

Anyway, hope that saves someone else some time someday

Thank you so very much atomicblogger! I've been searching high and low for this solution and finally I manage to get my blog to display correctly
