Put Image in Home top – Lifestyle Pro

[Sherry]

I am trying to put an image in the Home top of Lifestyle Pro. I do Not want it to link to a post.. just an image .. 633 x 610 .. without all the padding above and below the image.

I tried to make something work.. made a post.. assigned it to a category and then set the sidebar widget to show only uncategorized.

But now the image links to the post .. and there is nothing in the post.

See page here: http://permanentcosmeticsinstitute.com/PCI/

In the old Lifestyle I was able to do this.. but don't know how to accomplish this in Lifestyle Pro.

Thank You,
Sherry

Why can't you put the image HTML in a text widget in home top?

Thank you for your response.

I tried as you suggested.. but all that shows up on the page is the HTML. I don't know how to put it into the back end so it doesn't just have HTML on the page. Maybe I didn't do it right.. ??

Anyway.. now I have more problems. I am not very good with WP yet. I have been designing my websites in Dreamweaver for years.. so I do know some HTML and css.. but in trying to use it with WP it does not always work. I guess there are things in the default and functions.. and I don't dare mess with those.. it is a lot of very confusing looking stuff.

I made a few more changes in the Editor.. removed the margin at the top.. changed some font sizes.. nothing major.. everything seemed to be OK.

I logged out.. my site seems to be working just fine.. however, I am unable to login now. I get the messages below:

What did you do to your functions file?

OMG.. I changed the font from Droid Sans to Open Sans in the Editor but it was not working properly. I have the extension.. What Font.. when I held it over the font it said only sans.

I couldn't figure out what the problem was and after looking around I discovered that in the functions.. or the default or somewhere it said Droid Sans.. so I changed the Droid to Open.

What seems really weird is that the site is up and working fine.. except that the pages are loading a little herky-jerky like.

Crap! Now what do I do? I can't re-install and start all over.. I have spent the last 2 days getting it to look the way it does.

I have only made a couple of other sites using WP. Guess I should stick with Dreamweaver.. hard to teach old dogs new tricks 🙁

Paste the entire content of your functions file in a Github Gist and link to it from here.

Paste the entire contents in a WHAT ? If I knew what I was doing.. I wouldn't get myself into these messes.

That's the whole problem.. I don't know what a lot of those things are in the Editor. I just change the color to 00FF00 and see what turns bright green.

Anyway.. I went into the Lifestyle Pro folder on my computer and uploaded the original functions.php file back into the lifestyle-pro folder on the server.

I was finally able to log in.. so now let's see if I can keep from messing anything else up.. whew!

Back to the original problem. I tried once again to put a text widget in the home top.. this time I got it right. It looks great.. Thanks!

Meanwhile.. Thank You so much for your help.

Let me know if you can tell me where I need to go to remove some of the padding from below the image.. (above the footer). Do I need to remove the padding from the margin-bottom (see below)

.lifestyle-pro-home .featuredpost img {
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-bottom: 2rem;
}

.lifestyle-pro-home .featured-content .entry {
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-bottom: 2rem;
padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-bottom: 2rem;
}

[Brad Dalton]

Line 1042, remove the margin-bottom

.lifestyle-pro-home .content .widget {
	/* margin-bottom: 32px; */
	/* margin-bottom: 3.2rem; */
}

OK.. fixed it! Thank you so much! I never realize how much I DON'T know until I come into these forums where people like you are sooo knowledgeable.

Also.. I purposely left my old original (circa 1998) site outside of the blog, as I have a Form Mail form for people to fill out to request information.

I don't know how to make that form in WP.. so just linked to the form that is outside of the blog.

Is there a form that I might be able to configure fairly easily?

I have previously put the following into the functions file of Lifestyle so posts will not have dates:

/** Remove the post info function */
remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
?>

I tried putting it into the functions file for this site but evidently it doesn't work in Lifestyle Pro.. the post still has a date.

If you know the code.. I would prefer not to have dates on the posts. If the author's name gets eliminated with the code as well that's OK too.
