Anyone else with some insight in particular to the absolute position issue?

[bearknuckles]

Jim, I'm also currently working with monochrome pro. I suggest using 1600x800 for the featured images.

Hi Dave,

My problem was that the absolute position on the image class threw everything off. It was a cluster F.

This is what I have thus far, guys. I can't get the entry information to load over the transparency overlay though.

That's an interesting idea, Dave. But there are so many other elements to how Agency pro displays that widget that are undesirable for this current design. I'm really only looking for the specific text overlay tiling effect.

Last try...

Anyone?

[bearknuckles]

Thanks! That seemed to have work, but my issue isn't completely resolved. For some reason, it also added the text-decoration to pictures in the content area.

Here's an example:

I don't want photos, even if they happen to link to something, to also have the text-decoration I am intending to use for text links.

One last thing, for some reason some of my links have a strikethrough, I can't fathom why.

[bearknuckles]

Tom, you are a genius.

I have managed to get the homepage to look much more like what I had in mind.

I used the plug in you suggested and it looks much better. Thank you.

I had to create three separate pages (solely for the purpose of the homepage) so I could use the featured image option and make it look like yours. However, now these elements link to these pages instead of the inner page that it's supposed to. Is there a way for me to get the "Read More" link from all of these to point to one page that I elect?

I hope I'm making sense.

What do you think thus far of the progress?

[bearknuckles]

Hey Tom,

A couple of things, but, before that, THANK YOU for your time and help.

1. So, I tried styling the home page section three in the way you described, with your CSS change, but the three text widgets containing an image and an excerpt will not display horizontally. I'm not quite sure how to fix that.

2. I think I want to follow this same type of strategy for the rest of the page just like you did for section 2 with the video and then another text widget by its side. What do I need to do, to do this like you did on the test site?

[bearknuckles]

Tom, you are the man. How did you get the widgets to display side by side?

[bearknuckles]

Thanks for replying guys, it definitely makes me feel good about going with Studio Press.

Emasai, I tried commenting out, but it did not seem to work.

Tom, I concede I didn't see this as a potential issue when choosing this theme for this project. I have not had that issue with any other themes and didn't think I had to choose between featuring excerpts and displaying a page's entire content. But, if I had it my way, I would be able to display the entire content in section 1 and 2. The rest of the sections could be used as excerpts.

I really appreciate your time, gentlemen.

I'm very confused, so I'm not sure what else I can provide. I can answer any questions that you guys may have. Thank you for the help, Tom.

[bearknuckles]

Any help guys?
