Custom post types

news and portfolio
WordPress 3 has introduced post types, so one could display on his pages different types of content separated from each other. To take full advantage of this feature, along with the main type - Post - Dottoro Theme provides two further post types: Portfolio and News. To help you display your tag and category pages separated for all three post types, tags and categories are also made post type dependent. You can assign a different permalink structure to every post type, making the types which your contents belong to visible in the URLs of your website. Some of the widgets also support post types; e.g. for the Recent Posts widget you can set the desired post type, but you can also set it to post type independent mode.

Custom widget areas

any layout
You can add as many custom widget areas to your theme as you want. You can edit the layout of your widgets in a widget area with an easy to use wizard. You can set different areas on the sidebars and footers of every one of your pages. The [widget_area] shortcode will enable you to place widget areas on the subheader and the content as well.

Custom subheaders

use your own
Custom subheaders make your website more attractive to visitors. You can have different content in the subheaders on every page of your site. Dottoro Theme provides a couple of useful ready-made templates but you can always create your own custom subheaders. The contents of the subheaders can be edited the same way as the contents of your pages and posts.

Slideshow support

animated slides
Dottoro Theme provides broad support for creating and displaying slideshows. You can create and edit your slideshows in a wizard similar to the WordPress menu editor. The slideshows can then be published to the desired page as a Slideshow widget or with a [slideshow] shortcode. The contents of slides can be edited the same way as the contents of posts and pages, and you can also use shortcodes in them. You can set background and pagination images and add HTML content and any number of layers to every slide.
image viewer
In addition to the default WordPress gallery, in Dottoro Theme, you can create different galleries for every post and page. Dottoro Gallery is also more widely customizable than the default WordPress gallery. The images in the Dottoro Gallery will be displayed in the Dottoro Gallery Viewer. If you insert an image to a post or a page with the Dottoro Gallery Button, by clicking on it will open the Dottoro Gallery Viewer displaying the Dottoro Gallery.

Web Fonts support

custom and google fonts
To fulfill the current needs, Dottoro Theme fully supports generic and custom fonts as well. Along with web-safe fonts you can add to your theme any of the fonts of the Google Web Fonts library or your own custom font families. Custom fonts can be uploaded via the theme admin page and can then be applied in the Theme Editor.

Animated Menu support

popup menus
Some properties of the theme's menu can be customized in the Theme Editor, while others in your theme admin panel. The Theme Editor contains pre-defined menu skins that you can further customize according to your needs. On your theme admin panel you can also choose from various visual effects to enhance the appearance of your submenus.

Responsive

fit any screen size
Internet use via mobile devices and cell phones is growing every day. The goal of responsive design is to present content in a way that best suits the device the visitor is using. Technically it means flexible layout, flexible images, CSS media queries and some JavaScript. For instance, you could specify styles that take effect only when the browser window is narrower than a certain width.

Popup Windows

any content
Dottoro Theme provides a flexible environment for creating and displaying popup windows. The contents of popups can be edited the same way as the contents of pages and posts, and you can also use shortcodes in them. You can set whether a popup window should be modal or modeless, draggable or not and much more. In addition, the look of popup windows can be customized in the Theme Editor.

More tag support

truncate content
In Dottoro Theme, you can select from three types of previews to be displayed on the list pages for all content types - blog, news and portfolio. The previews can contain the whole post, a teaser, an excerpt or just the title of the posts. Teasers can be created with the help of More tag. The advantage of teasers is that you don't have to create excerpts to all of your posts separately. All you have to do is set the ending point of the teaser in your posts.

Excerpt length in characters

precise length
Because of the differences in the length of words in natural languages, in most cases it can be very useful to chunk texts by character number not by word boundaries. This way you will have better control over the length of excerpts in widgets and pages. Defining excerpt lengths in characters will also improve the look and readability of your website.
rootline
Breadcrumbs can be displayed on every page; it provides links to parent pages. Breadcrumbs help search engines crawl your pages and easily understand your hierarchy. Also, your breadcrumb will be added to the bottom of your Google SERP listing entry and your visitor surfs better.

Ghost Page support

unclickable menu items
There are cases when we need unclickable menu items that have submenus. Similar to this, you may need unclickable items in the page hierarchy displayed by breadcrumbs. Ghost pages provide a solution to this issue. With them, you can create pages invisible to the visitors that you can use to create menu items and that can also be set as parents of pages.

WP-autop and WP-texturizer

auto formatting
The WP-autop and WP-texturizer functions automatically format your contents in WordPress. They are usually useful, but in some cases they should be disabled to avoid unnecessary spacing and invalid HTML. These functions can easily be enabled and disabled in the theme.

Cross-browser

all platforms
Dottoro Theme has been tested on different versions of the most widely used browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera). Dottoro grants that the themes will work on every of the browsers mentioned and that they will work similarly.
