Rise Cover Photo Required in new theme
Good morning - With the new themes available, it is forcing me to choose a cover photo. I selected a cover page layout that doesn't have a picture, but when you click start course, it shows above the list of lessons and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Can anyone help?
Hi Bailey, great question.
Go to Theme > Navigation > Sidebar and you can choose one that has no image.
I've adjusted that, but it's not in the side bar...it's before the menu turns into the side bar. I just noticed, though, if I preview it that the image doesn't show.
That's right, Bailey! Even though you're now seeing a pre-selected course image on the cover page, that image isn't used anywhere in your course unless you select a theme that uses a cover image.
When you preview the course or view the share link, you'll notice that your course cover page still looks the same as it did before! The only difference is, you'll see the pre-selected image on the course card. Feel free to change that image to something that makes sense for your course!Here are a few screenshots to help explain what I mean:
1. The pre- selected image appears on course main menu page during editing:
2. The image does not appear on the course itself (unless you select a theme that uses it):
3. The image appears on course card on the main Rise 360 dashboard:
I wanted to share an update with you, Bailey! We’re working on disabling course images from showing on your dashboard when you have the course accent color selected for your cover image layout. We'll let you know as soon as we make that change!
Hi Bailey! Thank you again for your honest feedback. We've made changes to the cover image behavior that was released with the new Theme features.
Course cards on your dashboard will reflect the option you've selected for your cover page layout. We've also removed the cover image from the outline when editing your course.
This means that if you've selected an option without an image, you won't see any cover image we've suggested on your course cards. I hope this helps, and please let us know how else the new Theme features are working out for you!
(edited to note that we've removed images from the course outline entirely, regardless if they're selected in the cover page layout)This is very helpful. Love the new theme options - thanks for listening!
