One page theme with animations
OnePress is intended to be used as a single-page indian email database Theme. To do this, you will need to set your homepage to display a static page.
First, you’ll need to create a new page using the Frontpage template. Click Pages » Add New , enter a title, and select “Frontpage” as the page template. Then click Publish .

Home Page Sections
Now you are ready to customize your content. You can do this in the Appearance » Customize menu .
There are 9 possible sections for the home page:
Hero – Large background image with customizable header, text and buttons.
Video Lightbox – Displays a video below the main section, which plays in a lightbox when clicked.
About – Displays a customizable title, subtitle, description, and the page content or excerpt of your choice.
Features – Add up to 4 features, each with an icon , title, description, and Font Awesome link
Services – Add up to 4 pages to display with featured image, title and excerpt
Counter – Displays up to 4 numbers with an up-count animation
Team - Displays up to 4 images from your media library, along with title, description and link
News – Display any issue of your latest blog posts, with thumbnails and excerpts
Contact – Display a contact form using any shortcode, plus your address, phone number, email and fax
All sections have a swipe-up animation as the user scrolls down the page. You can choose to hide any section you don't want to use.
Although OnePress suggests using Contact Form 7, we didn’t find it to be a very user-friendly plugin. Instead, we recommend using WPForms shortcodes . They will display nicely in the OnePress contact section.
To create a menu for sections on your home page, you can create a menu and add custom links using section IDs (as set up in the Appearance » Customize menu ).
