Thanks so much!

[anotherusername]

Thank you for the suggestions. I shall look into the themes.

Are you familiar with the plugins they have? Are they worth getting too?

I forgot all about column classes... :-/

[anotherusername]

Bump...

My concern is that there would be a "wordpress way" to do it and a seperate built-in "genesis way" to do it.

Thanks so much for the help, Lauren.

One more question though:

How do I get rid of the borders that appear on the sides when I click on one of those Navbar links?

You might not see them if you are in safari or chrome or opera, but I see them in Firefox on a desktop.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, Carlo:

Thanks for your note.

In case anyone wants to go the simple hooks route and just use:

Unhook genesis_do_header() function from this hook?

Do note that you will want to probably put a div in there with a margins, since you are losing a div (sorry, off the top of my head I don't remember what the DIV Id is... maybe just #header ???).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the code.

I am fairly certain that is for html5 code and not for XHTML sites.

I decided to take the easy way out and used the genesis simple hooks plugin and just clicked the:

Unhook genesis_do_header() function from this hook?

Button.

You rock, Dave!!!

Had a total brain cramp and didn't even realize it was JS.

thanks again, mate.

Changing the font and font size is almost always done in your CSS file.

Changing the placement MIGHT be done in your css file, but deending on WHERE YOU want it to appear, you might have to use hooks to unhook the current location and hook it into another location.

+1 to categories, as Victor Suggested above.

You might also look into using custom post types IF the type of info you want to post for events is significnantly different than many of the other posts.

But that is more advanced.

Hi there, Monique:

I see only one .pdf link. It is the one that you are using this photo for:

http://www.ijvd-netwerk.nl/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Oog-voor-elkaar-Programma-2014-2018-1.jpg

Is that the correct link?

When I click on it, the .pdf file automatically opens up in Acrobat Reader.

I only need to click ONCE. I do NOT need to click twice.

Usually, it depends if the browser is set to use the adobe acrobat reader plugin to open .pdf files.

usually, in your Browser options, there will be a section called Applications, and you set it to open PDF documents with Acrobat Reader.

I hope this helps.

I’ve tried Epik theme and did not like it. I’m thinking about Centric, but I’m not sure.

What is it about Epik that you did NOT like???

What is it about Centric that you DO like???

looking at the Centric home page, it seems like it is a quite a bit different from the ventureharbor.com site that you like.

I’m looking for a theme which does not require me to write code.

I don't think such an animal exists. Not trying to discourage you... just trying to get you prepared for what you will have to eventually do.

Hi there, Julie:

Please go to:

Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most

And tell us what it says there.

I am guessing it is set to 4, but I have been known to be wrong before.

[anotherusername]

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but...

did the author of the plugin give you a license to sell the plugin, too???

If I developed a plugin for somebody, they would have the right to USE the plugin, but not to sell it.

Maybe he gave you license to sell it after all and I am just being ultra paranoid. But i would double check with the author just to be sure. No point in getting sued over something like this...

In the second example, you will notice this conditional lin:

function sk_set_posts_display() {
if ( ! ( is_archive() || is_search() ) )

that is basically saying that the function is NOT run unless it is an archive page or a search results page

You might try expanding it to:

if ( ! ( is_archive() || is_search() || is_front_page() ) {

That will PROBABLY work (fingers crossed).

The problem with trying to mix and match code from plugins and from what you find on other sites around the net is that they might not be compatible.

Dude, it's $10 and comes with a free theme.

Plus it uses a separate db table instead of cramming everything into post_meta table.

You could either spend about the equivalent of two cups of coffee and try out the plugin, or If you wanted to do it via custom post types, custom fields, etc, but you could easily blow trough $100 in plugins and STILL have to do the heavy lifting yourself...

I would say go for it, but I don't know how important it is to you to get all the benefits of genesis.

[anotherusername]

Can you link to your site please?

Also, have you looked in your Appearance -> Widgets area?

[anotherusername]

So I asked if the $60 Framework included a default child theme which I could roll with, or if someone could suggest a theme to purchase for my project, so I would be able to consider it.

If you buy the $60 framework, then aside from the other themes that are sold by studiopress (and the free basic child theme) there are also many genesis 2.0 child themes out there that are free as well.

And if that wasn't enough for you, there are also some free genesis 1.0 themes if you insist.

But if you don't have the time to develop them, then pick whichever theme is best for you and is going to need the least amount of development - whether it is a genesis framework or not.

And for what it's worth, neither basic, pascal nor fortran knowledge is going to be particularly helpful when it comes to learning wordpress / genesis. An HTML background will be helpful though.

sorry if I might appear negative. I am just trying to save you money and frustration.

It could be I who is confused 🙂

Firstly, could you link to a page with a CTA that you DO want to be affected by these rules???

It looks to me that the CSS rules for the genesis extender plugin is affecting how the button looks.

I am not familiar with this plugin, but maybe just to confirm, you could disable that plugin and see if it affects that comment button.

These appear to be some of the rules from that plugin that are affecting the comment button: (in particular, it is - I believe - the input[type="submit"] selector, but I have been known to be totally wrong in the past, so practice due diligence.)

button-cta-black-border, input[type="button"], input[type="reset"], input[type="submit"], .button-cta-black-border, .entry-content .button-cta-black-border {
    border: medium solid #000;
    color: #000;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-family: Lato,sans-serif;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-weight: 400;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
    padding: 12px;
    text-align: center;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    width: 100%;
}

Sooo... if that is the case, then we will need to look at how you can limit the genesis extender CSS from overriding the default comment button.

One thing is, do you have the Style Trump plugin from Carrie Dils?

http://www.carriedils.com/genesis-style-trump/

That is a start, as it will allow your genesis css style sheet to be loaded afterwards.

But that is only part of the fix. Most likely if you want to apply those styles to ONLY the CTA, you are going to have to find the parent div of the CTA so that we can restrict the selectors even further.

Hope this helps.

And I apologize if I am totally misunderstanding what you want. I have been known to bark up the wrong tree many a time.

[anotherusername]

Well, that is ONE way to do it...

but yeah, if you mess with it that way, then you are going to have to work some CSs magic in there to make sure that it looks nice depending on the media queries.

But really, the CORRECT way is they that YOU KNOW HOW to do.

I would probably hack the template and put in another widget area, but that is just me.
