Hi

at about line 170 you will find

a {
	border-bottom: 1px dotted #333;
	color: #333;
	font-weight: 400;
	text-decoration: none;
}

a img {
	margin-bottom: -6px;
}

a:hover {
	color: #0ebfe9;
	border-bottom: 1px dotted #0ebfe9;
}

Remove the two lines containing
border-bottom: 1px dotted #0ebfe9;

So it looks like

a {
	color: #333;
	font-weight: 400;
	text-decoration: none;
}

a img {
	margin-bottom: -6px;
}

a:hover {
	color: #0ebfe9;
}

and around line 1499 remove border bottom dotted as follows

.footer-widgets a {
	border-bottom: 1px dotted #fff;
	color: #fff;
}

to

.footer-widgets a {
	color: #fff;
}

Well there is, if you want to get into the code and start writing conditional tags or using css to hide things.

Carrie Dils suggests using body classes and display none, which would be an approach that might suit http://www.carriedils.com/genesis-theme-tutorial-primary-sidebar/

You could write different page templates, one for one set of widgets using primary and one for secondary, this would take a bit more coding but would probably be the most 'user friendly' if non developers are using it, the instruction use this tempalte displays x and this template displays y is easier than explaining classes.

You could just a primary sidebar and widget logic https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/ plugin to deterime which pages widgets are shown on.

An alternative approach could be to code in a a 'top bar' above the header and have widget areas in that.

I explain how to create a top bar and fixed top bar here https://badlywired.com/2015/02/create-bar-header-genesis/

When you log in to my.studiopress.com with your account you used when you purchased the theme, each theme you can download has a setup guide that covers these details, for Altitude Pro it is here http://my.studiopress.com/setup/altitude-pro-theme/

Thank you for the thanks, it makes it worthwhile.

Although you say you realised your site is slow, when using it (from London UK) it certainly doesn't feel slow.

And if you are paying only 30 Krone a month, for shared hosting (about USD 3.50) then the host is reasonable.

There are things you can do see
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
and
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.iexcelbooks.no/byuLZ21i
for some ideas

Simplest thing to do is implement browser caching. I'll write a blog post on my blog and link it up.

Fair enough. I have never heard of Attracta but then I haven't heard of a lot of things.

If you are paying them $199 per month then they should be able to answer your questions.

Browser cache CSS so if you are making changes and they dont appear at first it is always worth clearing your cache

Have to checked Google Webmaster tools?

Also I'm no expert in this but your robots.txt is show a rather strange (in my opinon) entry

http://kylesellsbusinesses.com/robots.txt

#Begin Attracta SEO Tools Sitemap. Do not remove
sitemap: http://cdn.attracta.com/sitemap/1794602.xml.gz
#End Attracta SEO Tools Sitemap. Do not remove

And that site map contains (in my limited experience) nothing of value, so I can't see that it is helping matters

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

Either

Google Analytics
Piwik Analytics
or
Jetpack

And keep your site up to date

Looks OK to me. But if you have a problem maybe a support ticket rather than the forum would be better?

I did a bit more Googling and found others complaining of spam signups with double opt in on mailchimp.

One says "I believe that bots are injecting email signup spam directly at the Mailchimp's hosted signup forms."

According to Google CSS in the document body adversely impacts rendering performance, moving it out of head would put it in body.

My techy blog WordPress and stuff badlywired.com

[Badlywired]

OK change it to

body.page-id-15146  .site-header-banner {
background: url("http://laurazera.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/header-two.png") 
#ffffff no-repeat center scroll;
}

That is working for me

There is missing } at the end of your style.css

Try again but put the code immediately before
/*

Media Queries
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

And then check the page
http://laurazera.com/?page_id=15146

This is something that worries me, I was made aware by a client of lots of suspected spam MailChimp signups.

Double opt-in was active, so I don't get what is going on

1. Why do it any way, whats the point of spam email signups?
2. Is there a hole in MailChimp that allows adding to a list by bypassing the double optin (e.g. a posts parameter) or are spammers really working out what the confirmation link is?

I agree with Ren. We have in the past done extensive A/B testing, for clients, on conversion rates on landing pages and landing pages without Navigation have higher conversion (normally form sign up). It is not a massive difference but enough to take seriously, in the region of 55% versus 45%.

My code should work with your theme if you put it in as it should override the the css for that page, conditionally.

But it isn't in your style sheet so I can't debug any issues with it

see http://laurazera.com/wp-content/themes/beautiful-pro/style.css

If you add my code back in, I'll take another look at your page http://laurazera.com/?post=15146

and tell you if it needs any tweaking to make it work.

Hi,

Looking at your site I am assuming you are wanting to change the custom header background strip not the background of teh WHOLE page (which is what your code would do)

In which case your CSS needs to be more qualified to target the custom background

body.page-id-15146 .custom-background .site-header-banner {
background: url("http://laurazera.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/header-two.png") 
#ffffff no-repeat center scroll;
}

See here how I worked that out http://screencast.com/t/Io0EsIECk4lu

The CSS needs to go in your child themes' style.css file it can go at the end (or anywhere really)
wp-content/themes/beautiful-pro/style.css
