You can adjust input widths and styles within the advanced settings for each individual form element in Gravity forms. For a site-die change, I would adjust the CSS as I suggested above.

March 13, 2014 at 2:12 pm in reply to: Custom page template that inserts widget before content #94744Au CoeurMemberHere is what you have to do:
(1) create a new widget area -- you can do this within functions.php or using the simple sidebars plugin.
(2) create the page where you want it to appear
(3) create a function hooking the widget area above that one page in your functions.php file using conditional tags
So, the question is, where are you in this process knowledge wise? Do you know how to do any of the above?

Au CoeurMemberYou can change the input width from 100% to 90% (or something) in your stylesheet and that will leave room for your button.

Au CoeurMemberIf you log into your hosting account, you can use the file viewer to delete what you just added from functions.php. That will restore your site. Make sure you don't paste the opening php tag from the code snippet.

You can adjust the background and fonts via CSS

Au CoeurMemberYou would need to add the home top widget above the loop via a function similar to how the after post ad section is added in your functions.php file (although without the conditional).
Are you familiar with creating functions?

March 13, 2014 at 10:11 am in reply to: Is WooCommerce plugin compatible with Genesis themes? #94691Au CoeurMemberAs I stated, I have used woo commerce on multiple client sites with no problems either at integration or later with updates. These are two recent sites if you want to look at them: http://WWW.danceypantsdisco.com and http://WWW.hydrexphilathropic.org. they are small sites.
Most of my clients use PayPal to accept payments, the Hydrex site uses authorize.net to process payments on site. That did require us to purchase a WC extension. I can see how if you need to do a lot of specialized things it can get expensive to purchase all of the extensions, but if not you might be able to use just the free version. Several of the eCommerce sites I have built using this have required no extensions. When a site does require me to purcashe something then I pass that cost onto the client. Even if they have to spend $200 up front, it is still less expensive than many shopping cart solutions, many of which require monthly payments for the length of use. I can hardly complain about an initial fee up front for a plugin that is so valuable and which is going to make me/my client money.
You can do instant downloads/virtual products with the free version of WC.

Au CoeurMemberWhat did you change it from 34px/3.4rem to 32/3.2? I would do something more dramatic than that and you will see a difference. Try changing it to 0 for example. Depending on how small you want the space to be, you should also change the spacing for the site container.
What browser are you using? You can right click and use "inspect element" to make trial changes directly in chrome. Firefox has the Firebug extension that will do the same thing.

March 13, 2014 at 2:24 am in reply to: Plugin That Allows Widgetized Post Excerpts (Full Page Layout) #94610Au CoeurMemberIf I understand you correctly and you are going to create individual posts for each testimonial, why not just categorize them and then set-up unique loop styling for that one category archive page? You could use the genesis grid code if you want them to appear multiple across.
Otherwise, Genesis Featured Widget Amplified is a great plugin, but you would need to create a widget area to add it into (possibly multiple if you want multiple columns) and add the widget area to the one specific page.

Au CoeurMemberFor the footer spacing issue, you can reduce both the margin and padding on the .footer-widgets and .site-container to eliminate that big gap. You may want to adjust the top and bottom separately instead of jointly as the CSS is currently set.
It looks like you solved your sidebar issue?

Au CoeurMemberYes! I use it on client sites all the time. There is a plugin "Genesis Connect for WooCommerce" which allows you to do things like specify sidebars and layouts, but WooCommerce will function just fine without it.

Au CoeurMemberIE7 is not standards compliant and it will not recognize mobile responsive coding which means your website will not look pretty in IE7. You can use a tool like Browser Stack to see what the website would look like in IE7. Try it with the demo of Executive Pro if you want to see before you commit.
There are not really any tips that I can think of for mitigating it. Possibly the best way to deal with it is to *not* create a mobile responsive site (which means don't use Executive Pro) and to code the design to not be any wider than 960px. That would minimize the chance of unsightly wrapping on narrower screens. But really, why would you want to design a website for a browser version that is so out of date and is not even supported anymore by the maker? If this is a client request I would, personally, council the client on web browsers and explain that it cannot be done.

Au CoeurMemberWhere on your website do you want it to appear?
If you want it in a sidebar/header/footer, you can add a text widget to whatever area you want it in and then paste the code into the text widget. (Text widgets recognize HTML)
If you want it in the body of a page or post, you have to switch to the text editor view by clicking the tab at the top right corner of the WYSIWYG editor (the box where you add your content), then you can paste the code in with the other content.

Au CoeurMemberYou can certainly copy CSS from one theme to another, but that alone will not set-up a similar home page. The Centric theme uses widget areas to add content to the homepage alone. You would need to create new widget areas and add them to the homepage via functions added to your funtions.php file; if you name them the exact same names that are used in the CSS code you copied over then the styles will apply to the widget areas you just created.

Au CoeurMemberYou would need to insert a custom function to tell WP to display the loop differently on that specific category. To get started, you would need to be familiar with the conditional tags: https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags. I use is_category () to accomplish what you want.

Au CoeurMember1) What is your website URL?
2) Do you want to add the images alongside the menu text or do you want images to replace the menu text?
