Where are you adding the CSS?

[Charlie]

Try making these alterations to your stylesheet:

#bbp_reply_submit, #bbp_topic_submit, input[type="button"], input[type="submit"] {
    background-color: #000000;    // Make the background black
    border: 1px solid #000;   // Make the border black as well 
    color: #FFFFFF !important;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-family: 'Oswald',arial,serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-weight: normal;
    padding: 4px 7px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

#bbp_reply_submit:hover, #bbp_topic_submit:hover, input[type="button"]:hover, input[type="submit"]:hover {
    background-color: #000;  //   Change this color code to black 
    border: 1px solid #000;        // Make the border black as well
    color: #FFFFFF;
    text-decoration: none;
}

The only lines you need to change are the ones with comments (4 in total). Simply change them as above.

Can you please post a link to your site?

Thanks.

[Charlie]

Wow, that was simple! Thanks Dave!

I'm using Chrome and I see bold (<strong>) in your posts. Can you link me a specific example?

[Charlie]

Go to Appearance > Themes and delete all the child themes, then re-install the one you intend to use.

Try going to Prose/lib/init via FTP or cPanel and commenting out the following:

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'prose_add_viewport_meta_tag' );
/**
 * Viewport meta tag.
 *
 * Output the viewport meta tag to enable responsive features.
 *
 * @since 1.5.0
 */
function prose_add_viewport_meta_tag() {
    echo '<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>';
}

Make sure to download a backup first!

And also: my 100th post!

Can you please post a link to your site so we can see what you mean? Thanks!

[Charlie]

Not a good idea to post your user and pass for all to see!

[Charlie]

Can you please post a link to your site and I'm sure someone will be able to help you. I'm off now but I'll have a look tomorrow if no one else has by then.

[Charlie]

In your functions.php you'll find this code:

/** Change the number of portfolio items to be displayed (props Bill Erickson) */
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'executive_portfolio_items' );
function executive_portfolio_items( $query ) {

	if( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && is_post_type_archive( 'portfolio' ) ) {
		$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '12' );
	}

}

Try changing 12 to 40. NB: I haven't attempted this myself, but it's where I'd start.

[Charlie]

OK I think I've got this. There's a few changes to make to your stylesheet.

We're going to move the logo background image down by 27px using absolute positioning:

#header {
    background: url("http://daybluedesigns.com/newsite/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/header1.png") no-repeat scroll center 27px transparent;
}

Then we're going to increase the min-height of the header to accommodate the size of the image:

#header {
    margin: 0 auto;
    min-height: 167px;
    width: 1140px;
}

That's it!

[Charlie]

The default size is 1100 x 120 pixels.

Can you post a link to your site so we can better help you? Thanks.

I would move the Adsense strip from the top: it's obtrusive. Maybe move it after the nav bar? Or get rid of it and the rest of the units and forget about monetising your site with ads until you've built up a solid readership.

[Charlie]

Your sidebar is only 250 px wide. You could put a 250 x 250 square unit in, or increase the width of the sidebar.

If you log in to My StudioPress, you should be able to download the theme you bought from there.

Here are the instructions I got when I bought the Pro Plus package (all the themes):

1. Go to https://my.studiopress.com/

2. Log in with the username and password you chose at purchase

3. Click the "Downloads" tab to download your theme(s)

4. Explore the rest of my.studiopress.com for any questions you might have

I wasn't emailed the zips. The process may be different when you buy an individual theme.

 

[Charlie]

I like it. Not entirely convinced about having social media icons at the top AND bottom of pages, but heh, you can't have everything.

[Charlie]

Looks great!

[Charlie]

Full screen responsive sliders are cool. I don't think any StudioPress themes utilise them out of the box, but it wouldn't be too difficult to add one...

Thinking about it a bit more, the Minimum theme is probably the closest to what you want stock. Just replace the image with a slider.

[Charlie]

Which theme are you using? And can you post a link to your website? Thanks.
