Pricing Section

The Pricing section displays columns that allow your users to compare plans or products. It utilizes Custom Post Types, which allow you to easily modify and arrange your pricing columns. Add some CSS to truly customize your columns

After you have purchased, installed, & activated the Pricing section, you must then enable it in your template.

From your WordPress Administration Panel:

  1. Select the "PageLines" panel, then "Templates"
  2. Select the Template Area that you want the Pricing section to go
    • If you select the "Page Template area, by default the Pricing section will be displayed on every page that is assigned to the type of Page Template you choose
    • If you select "Header," "Footer," or "Morefoot," by default the Pricing section will be displayed on every page regardless of the Page Template
  3. Drag the "Pricing" section from the "Available/Disabled Sections" over to the "Active Sections"
  4. The Section Order will save automatically

You will now see an empty Pricing section on every page that it is active on. If you don't want the Pricing section to be displayed on all of those pages, you must configure your pages to show/hide it

From your WordPress Administration Panel:

  2. Click to edit the page that you wish to hide the Pricing section
  3. On the "Meta Panel," click the "Page Setup" tab
  4. Under "Individual Page Section Control," click "Hide Pricing"
  5. Click "Save Meta Settings"

Because the Pricing section is displayed by default when you enable it, you will need to use this method for every page that you do not want the Pricing section displayed.
