Sorry...I kept the border as a solid black line so I could see how my adjustments affected the image. The final code had border: none.
Thanks for your response. I worked with the CSS for Genesis Responsive Slider and couldn't get rid of the "Excerpt" area which would hold text about each slide.
However, in back in WordPress, I selected Customize > Additional CSS and added the following:
#genesis-responsive-slider {
border: solid;
padding: 0;
margin: auto;
width: 85%;
}Any width value greater than 85% opens the Excerpt area (that's what I think that area is) to the right, thus shifting the slide to the left.
Yes, I did resolve it. Thanks for checking. I can't tell you how because it was in the distant past (given my memory of such things).
Thanks for the quick reply, Davinder. In the Edit Menus > Menu Structure section, I don't see a place to enter a url for "Portfolio."
Am I looking in the wrong place?
I ended up deleting the text object in the Top-Right widget in place of using a custom menu there.
Anyone know of a way to remove the color rectangle behind the current menu selection/location?
For me, also using Executive Pro, I had to upload the image for each Portfolio post while creating the post. If I tried to access it from the Library, it never showed up. Maybe there's a direct way to sync an image in the Library with the image in the Portfolio post but I don't know what it is (yet).
Maybe another concern is losing control over where changes have been made, in the event you need to return part of the code to the original. I'm an amateur; no knowledge of best practices. But I've been commenting my CSS changes using my initials--so I can quickly do a browser Find on my initials and come to every place where I made a change. I've also used Filezilla to download the CSS file to my desktop and save it as a dated archive.
I suppose the option--in the event that I mess things up thoroughly--is to reload the original child theme (like Executive Pro, which I'm using) and then go back and add my modifications. Using my archived CSS file, I have an easier time seeing what I had done previously.
That's a great question. I can speaker for the poster, but for me, a gallery would be great. I know it's easy enough to create a page in column and row format using <div>s. So it's do-able manually.
The sample Portfolio page for Executive Pro visually resembles a gallery, which may be why people gravitate to using the Portfolio to accomplish what they need. Also, the Portfolio is designed by default to bring up the portfolio page the user clicks on without further html to make the link between a gallery page and a subpage focused on what the user clicked.
I'm awaiting an answer to your same question of whether you create more than one "Portfolio."
But I may be able to answer another question. I changed "Portfolio" to another label so it better fit the message of the page. I did it by going into Appearance > Menus and using the Links field to specify the Portfolio page's URL (in your case it would be georgiacartalk.com/portfolio). Then I gave it a different title so that when I added it to my Primary Menu, it said something other than "Portfolio."
I'm not sure if you can change the URL to something different, like georgiacartalk/chevymodels. Hopefully someone will jump on this and provide more information.
That worked, Brad. Thanks!
In the process, I got the Portfolio page to work by using Appearance > Menus > Links to add http://www.mysite.com/portfolio to the primary menu.
The issue remaining is whether I can create two or more Portfolio pages. It seems like Genesis (or Executive Pro) is architected to automatically create its own Portfolio page. When I try to create another archive page myself, my page just is a list of all pages. I'd like to create an archive page and have it automatically populate with portfolios of a given taxonomy.
Is that possible?
