Thanks to its powerful set of tools, the Dottoro Theme provides a highly flexible environment that lets you create a wide range of websites from simple blogs to fully-fledged business solutions.

Dottoro Theme Editor is an online WordPress theme design automation product with a point & click interface that lets you build fantastic looking, unique web sites and blog themes without having to bother with any code or web programming. Once you have installed your theme to WordPress, you can open the Editor from your theme's admin panel. This feature enables you to see the changes you apply to your theme in real time. The smooth interface of editor gives you total creative freedom so you can focus on the design. You can select from several theme and menu skins, you can change backgrounds, fonts, colors, borders and layouts and so on. You can save your designs and activate them with a few clicks anytime; thus you can change the look of your website as often as you need.

Custom post types

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

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

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

Dottoro Theme provides a widespread 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.
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

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

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.

More tag support

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

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.
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

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

The WP-autop and WP-texturizer features automatically format your contents in WordPress. They are usually useful, but in some cases they should be disabled to avoid their interfering with the display of your pages. These features can easily be enabled and disabled from the theme.

Cross-browser

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.

Valid HTML5

Dottoro Theme is valid HTML5 and XHTML. The theme is made compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

SEO friendly code

The theme is created and developed with the upmost care and precision according to the Search Engine Optimization Guide issued by Google. Search engine optimization is also granted by the high expertise of our developers and programmers in the field.
