Is there an option to remove the button from this type of layout: demo1

I would like to use this type of layout for most of the pages throughout a site I’m working on. Unfortunately, I’m forced to link something to the button on every page because there is no option to turn it off. This makes no sense for some pages and can be downright tacky. And if I’m not mistaken there is no way to edit the button out a particular page via CSS without it disappearing from all pages throughout the site, so I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks Raju, that was pretty simple. But I did want to inquire as to whether removing the following snippet of code: {action:button global="false"} will remove the button from all landing pages used throughout the site. While it seems that it does, I realize that because I’m new to coding I may be wrong. By the way, I’ve adding a cropped screen shot below so future readers know what this was about. I created demo1 specifically for this inquiry, so it’s just a temporary site.

Hey Raju, I just learned how to create custom pages under Page Layouts. Now I can use the standard landing page for pages where the button is needed, and use a custom landing page where I don’t want the button to appear! Weebly Forums is a great help!

That’s wonderful. Creating a custom page type would be the right approach if you want to use action button on some and not on others. Any page using that particular layout will inherit the characteristics of the page layout picked.

Hi lesc3
Your post was extremely useful to me as that was exactly what I wanted. But can you please tell me how you made a custom page with the button? I have one page where I would like the button to be.

That would be very helpful, thanks!

In landing.html you will find the following code

<div id="banner">
        <div id="navigation" class="wsite-nav-vertical">{menu}</div>
        <div id="banner-left">
            <h2>{headline:text global="false"}</h2>
            <p>{headline-paragraph:text global="false"}</p>
            {action:button global="false"}

Remove the

{action:button global="false"}

Raju,

Thanks so much, that did it. I also had to figure out I was just on the basic view of css and that there were other views on the left, then I saw it.

@kebrt if you click into the bit of the window that has the black background with the colourful writing, and then press CTRL+F on your keyboard, you can search the HTML for the word “button”, it should be the only one on the page.

If you still cant see it then you are probably looking at the HTML code of the wrong template. In the left hand column there is a selection of templates, click on the “Landing” template and try looking again.

Thanks JP
for the moment I got round it by using the remover header in page edit., I will try it again

I am very new to this web building,
right now my biggest grief is that I cannot insert images into text, dragging picture elements just means I get images in the wrong place, ie at top or bottom.
It would be great if I could just grab a image from my files and insert at the end of the already written and quite long text.

That’s fine kermit, it’s just a good to even have a go at it, right? You’ll figure it all out eventually. In the mean time, if you want to add a paragraph with a picture, there is a content block for that, called paragraph with picture. You can resize and move your picture virtually anywhere in the paragraph block you like, but it does limit you to one picture per paragraph. So if you want more as you go through, you need to drag more paragraph with picture blocks down to your page as you go. If you leave the title empty it will simply not appear in your published webpage.

Of course there are other, more technical methods of adding images to text, but this is the way weebly does it “out-of-the-box” so to speak, and it is probably the best method for a novice, you just have to accept that to do anything more advanced will require a more advanced understanding of the technical aspects of the system. But as I said, you’ll get there eventually, just keep trying new things and learning.

Thanks JR
one para with pic block will be tedious for the amount of text and pics i am wanting to use

It has been suggested that that I use multiple columns, I did not know there were more than two.
Playing with that idea now,and seems to be a prospect.
I do think though, that the ability to drop a small pic into blocks of text i would be a weebly asset.
Its about the only thing I miss from my old microsoft [spit spit] site.
thanks

Hi, I am new at Weebly and I have been working on a page for several days. I have followed the directions here to remove the “button text” (two separate buttons) but I cannot find the “action:button” line in the CSS. I have searched the code for these key words, but found nothing. I am wondering if there is an alternate keyword or something else I should be looking for? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

It’s not in the css. You should be checking landing.html

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I followed the instructions and went to the HTML and it removed the first button. Do you have any advice on removing the second button? It occurs lower on the page, below the photo.

What is your site ? Usually there is only one button on the landing page (unless you accidentally added an additional one). I have not seen a standard weebly theme using two action buttons (or may be I missed it).

Thank you so much for your help. You were right, I accidentally added another button, which I never would have figured out without you mentioning that possibility. Thanks again, this really helps!!

Hi there – I was mucking around with the font layout for my landing page header text, and all of a sudden the text in all my call to action buttons reduced significantly. I can’t find where to fix this, can you help? It is the same on all the other themes in this site, but buttons are correct size on my other sites. I have tried the option above to add another button but that just puts the code on my page.
