In home.php, the line
'grid_image_size' => 'featured',
tells WordPress to use whatever image size was selected for each post as the featured image. You could change 'featured' to 'thumbnail', or any other pre-set value. That's what I was referring to in an earlier post in this thread.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantWhen you upload an image in WordPress it's saved as the original size and a number of other sizes, some of which are determined in Media Settings, and others defined in your functions.php file.
You could leave the Thumbnail at 150 x 150 and add another size in functions.php.
Look for this
/** Add new image sizes */
add_image_size( 'header', 1600, 9999, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'portfolio', 330, 230, TRUE );add add another like this, for example
add_image_size( 'custom-featured', 550, 280, TRUE );
Then you would need to specify that size in home.php

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantOut of curiosity, what is your "Thumbnail size" currently set at? 400 x 267?
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantCool. You could tweak that thumbnail size in your Settings > Media SettingsΒ so that they fit the available space better. Maybe something like 550 x 280.
If you do that you might have to run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin again before they show up, or just update the featured image in those four posts on the home page.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantSusan, thanks for checking on that. Glad it worked!

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantAlternatively, in the home.php file in your child theme directory there's a function that is removing (or just not inserting) thumbnails in the home page grid loop. That function is or should be at the end of home.php.
You could change these lines:
'grid_image_size' => 0,
'grid_image_class' => 'alignnone',to these:
'grid_image_size' => 'featured',
'grid_image_class' => 'post-image',You may need/want to play with those values to arrive at what you're looking for, but I think that will do it. I'm using Minimum myself on a site I'm developing, but I just removed the home page posts altogether, otherwise I'd try that code edit myself.

Looks like there's a solution in there for the home page featured images not showing up.

Specifically theΒ code to modify theΒ Author BoxΒ title?
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantYou don't have to necessarily change the h1 tag - you can just add this to your style.css, and adjust as wanted:
.author-box h1 {
color: #555;
font-family: Georgia;
font-size: 24px;
}But if you did want to change the h1 tag to something else you'll most likely find that in the plugin files somewhere.
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantYeah, I could do that. Why don't you send me a note using the contact form on my website and we can go from there.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantThat slider you're using hasn't been updated for a year-and-a-half, which could be part of the problem.
Have a look at this one called Soliloquy Lite:Β http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/soliloquy-lite/
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantI just took a quick look and it seems that you're loading two instances of that slider, or more than one slider.
John Sundberg | blackhillswebworks.com
A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πJohnParticipantOn that page I linked to Organizations is the custom post type, and countries, states, services, and names (alphabetically) are the taxonomies for that post type.
That looks like a big project you're working on there, and I wonder if it should be handled differently than how I did my wife's site. I'd have to set aside some think time to wrap my mind around that, and things are getting busy around here.
I think what's throwing me is the term "Local Pages" - I'm not sure what you mean by that. Sounds maybe too similar to the Locations taxonomy?
Anyhow, let me know how it goes for you and include a link when it's under way, if you don't mind.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google πDecember 17, 2012 at 7:12 am in reply to: CSS Help please? How do I remove text shadow in menu please? #5730JohnParticipantLeanne,
I think what you're seeing that looks like text shadow is actually your browser distorting the font that you're using for the menu. That happens sometimes, especially with web-based fonts like Google Fonts, and in some browsers more than others. If you increase the font-size from 14px to 15px I think you'll get the result you're looking for.
Adding this to the end of your style.css file should do the trick:
div .menu-primary a,
div .menu-primary a:visited,
div .menu-secondary a,
div .menu-secondary a:visited,
#header .menu a,
#header .menu a:visited {
font-size: 15px;
}John

To help you we'll need a link to your site and specific details about which widget title you want to change and which changes to make.
