Use Post Masonry Grid or Post Grid widget

Dont divide your row to columns. Use 1/1 column.

Choose Portfolio from data-source. Write -1 to total items if you want to show all items. Choose load more button from display style then select other options depending your request.

1) Post Masonry Grid ( We have mentioned it in Portfolio Page section )

2) Post Grid widget ( We have mentioned it in Portfolio Page section )

3) Recent Portfolio

This widget does not have load more or pagination options. You can use this widget in your homepage or other pages for showing your latest portfolio. Recent Portfolio widget has got filtering options but it only works with tags. If you want to use category in filter section, please use post masonry or post grid.

### Sidebar

Landmark Theme has got different sidebar logic.

We are using Visual Composer to create sidebars. You can create multiple sidebars and use different sidebar for every page.

When you import our demo content, you will get our demo sidebar ready to use. We advise to you don't delete these sidebars. It helps and gives idea to create your own sidebar. If you want more sidebar, just create new one and write your own title, create your own content.

Don't divide columns in your sidebar content.

You can use Widgets ( Appearance > Widgets ) in your sidebar content with Visual Composer Widgetised Sidebar element.

You can use every element of Visual Composer in your sidebar content.

### Example Content of Sidebar

### How Can You Choose Your Sidebar?

Whenever you create a page, blog post, portfolio post etc. , you will see page options under your wordpress editor. You can choose your sidebar from these options.

### Shop Sidebar

If you want to use your shop page with sidebar, just edit your shop page and choose sidebar as your other pages.

- Importing thing is shop widgets in sidebar, if you want to use some shop widget (like Price Filter), you need to add your shop widget to Appearance > Widgets > Shop Sidebar. You need to do this because of Visual Composer does not have some shop widget elements. If you want to show these shop widgets, just add them in wordpress widgets (Appearance > Widgets > Shop Sidebar)
- After this step, if you need non-woocommerce widgets in your shop sidebar, add these widget in Visual Composer (like other sidebar).
- If you dont need any non-woocommerce widget in your shop sidebar, create blank sidebar page.
- Now you can choose your sidebar with editing your shop page ( yes, you can choose blank page in shop page, it will take shop sidebar auto )

### Footer

Just like the sidebar, we are using Visual Composer for footer.

You can divide your row to columns in Footer.

When you import demo content, you will get ready to use Footer Style, we advise to you don't delete these content. It will help you to understand Footer logic.

You can use non-visual composer element in footer with Widgetised Sidebar element in Visual Composer.

Choosing Footer is same as Sidebar. You can see Footer Section in your Page Options under Wordpress Editor.

### 404 Page

If you import our demo content, you will see there are 5 different ready to use 404 Pages.

You can create your own 404 Pages too with using Visual Composer. You should choose HomePage template from the right side of your screen (Page Att).

After creating your page, go to Theme Options > General Settings

Find 404 Page ID section and write your page id. You can see your page id in edit screen of page.

( in this example page id is: 6318 )
