Predefined CSS classes used in our live demo and available in the theme


Several classes have been defined in order to properly align and display Hervin Gutenberg blocks and WPBakery Page builder rows. You can specify them as Additional CSS Class in Gutenberg or Extra class name in row's options in WPBakery. They are as follow:

  • row_padding_all – padding space on all sides (8vw).
  • row_padding_top – top padding space to the row (8vw).
  • row_padding_bottom – bottom padding space to the row (8vw).
  • row_padding_left – left padding space to the row (8vw).
  • row_padding_right – right padding space to the row (8vw).
  • small – small row width.
  • full – makes the row full width.
  • text-align-center – center aligns the text within the row.
  • has-animation – adds an animation effect
  • has-mask – Use only for Headings for letters fade in effect
  • has-parallax – adds a parallax effect to all the images inheriting this class.
  • one_half – First 1/2 Column
  • one_half last – Last 1/2 Column
  • one_third – 1/3 Columns
  • two_third last – 2/3 Column

Note to the WPBakery users: WPBakery row's properties and some of the elements are not compatible with AJAX loading. It is recommended to use our shortcodes, predefined classes or create your own CSS classes in appearance -> customizer -> additional CSS and add them to Extra class name attribute of the current row. This works great with AJAX loading. More workarounds for WPBakery and loading pages with AJAX: Here

Shortcodes


Hervin comes pre-packed with a number of shortcodes allowing you to add styled content to your site with little effort. Hervin is tightly integrated with Gutenberg editor, therefore you will see them when adding a new block. Hervin blocks appear under Layout Elements section

Hervin is also tightly integrated with WPBakery Page Builder editor, therefore you will see them when adding a new element.

The shortcodes are grouped in several categories:


  • Typo Elements – Title, Button, Space Between Buttons
  • Elements – Accordion, Contact Info Box, Map, Image Collage, Popup Image, Video Hosted, Icon Service, Testimonials, Clients
  • Sliders - Normal Image Slider, Carousel Image Slider
