Hi there

I've recently used Soundy Background Music on a client site, and it seems nice and simple.

Thanks
Dom

Should it look like this?

Hi there

There is a 40px margin at the bottom of #genesisresponsiveslider-widget-3.widget. There is also 25px of padding at the top of .site-inner.

You could try removing/altering one or both of these.

Thanks
Dom

Hi Amanda

You certainly can use Google fonts. If you know the ones you want to use, what I tend to do is enqueue them in the functions.php file and then do a find and replace in style.css to switch out the original font and add your new one.

Go to functions.php in your theme editor and find the line that looks like this:

wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );

Say you wanted to add Open Sans to the mix, change that line to this:

wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,700 | Open+Sans:100,300,400,600,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );

So add a |, then the name of your new font (with a + if it has more than one word), then the : followed by the weights you want to add, separated by ,.

There are probably plugins available which give you access to all of the Google Fonts in one go. I haven't looked into this.

Thanks
Dom

No problem, John.

Depending on where and how widespread these columns are, you could use widgets, maybe.

Hi Yossif

I think what Carlo is suggesting (and please correct me if I'm wrong, Carlo) is to add some more rules to the page template that you uploaded via ftp. Where Sridhar has, for example:

remove_action( 'genesis_after', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );

which will remove the footer widgets areas, there will be equivalent remove_action commands to get rid of the generate box etc. The benefit of this method is that a) it's actually the correct way to do things, and b) if you end up with multiple landing pages, you won't need to add additional CSS rules for each page - the CSS i gave you is page-specific.

Now, unfortunately, I'm not overly familiar with these hooks and actions etc. Carlo sounds much more knowledgable than me on this. So, if you want my quick, hack(y) fix for one page only, then go:

body.page-id-2035 #generate_box,
body.page-id-2035 #subnav,
body.page-id-2035 #respond,
body.page-id-2035 #footer-widgets {
display: none;
}

You might struggle to get rid of those iframe ad boxes though.

Hopefully Carlo can suggest the php way to do things with the page template.

As for fitness, I was huge as a teenager/early-20s, lost about 40lbs just through giving up a lot of alcohol and walking more, then started doing endurance and multi-sport about five years ago. Currently training for four triathlons and a duathlon this year. Trying out the Stronglifts 5x5 programme at the minute, along with sport-specific training and HIIT.

Looks like Contact Form 7 does this if you're after a free solution. Gravity Forms definitely does it too. As does Ninja Forms, but it's a premium extension.

That's why we're here :). Is it one specific thing, or lots? Do you have some links so we can see the issues?

Thanks

Thanks Carlo. Yes, I thought display: none; would be a quick, rather than an ideal, fix.

Hi there

It looked like your CSS wasn't being loaded, but it seems fine now?

Oh, OK. So what I suggested would need to go in your style.css file. It can go anywhere, but I would suggest putting it somewhere logical (ie below the Nav rules so it sits neatly with the flow of the web pages) and comment it up inside /* */ tags for reference.

For example, looking at your home page:
body.home #generate_box { display: none; }

would remove the Generate box from the home page. So if you fire up your landing page and view page source, then do a find for "page-id-" then you'll see the page id. Then go:

body.page-id-X #generate_box { disply: none; }

That should remove the Generate box from the landing page.

Good work on the fitness, by the way. I'm becoming something of a fitness geek myself.

Hi there

Looks like those Mock Ads in the Sponsored Links widget are too wide. If you reduce the width of #ab_adblock then the horizontal scroll disappears.

Thanks

It's not a perfect fix, but can you do something like this in your CSS (please check all of the elements with inspect element or similar first):

.page-id-X .generate-box {
display: none;
}

Hi Tonya

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to admit, I don't know what that means, but I'll look into it. 🙂

Hi there

Don't know if it's a lot of help as it's not a feature I've needed as yet, but the two search plugins I always look at first are Relevanssi and Search & Filter. Both have paid-for pro versions which have more features. May be worth dropping the developers a line to see if what you are looking for is possible.

Thanks
Dom

Hi there

Looks like you need to go into style.css and look for .site-header .genesis-nav-menu li a

Set the padding to 26px 24px

Thanks

Hi there

From looking at the CSS, it looks like it's 'Titillium Web' that's the font in question.

To stop using this font, open up style.css (go to Appearance > Editor) and do a find and replace of all instances of Titillium Web - replace it with a sans-serif system font such as arial or helvetica (or whatever you want to use).

I think (and I'm happy for someone to jump in and correct me here) that Titillium Web will still be loaded, because there'll still be a call for it in functions.php.

I would suggest replacing the instances of TW in your style.css and checking page load again. If it's still slow due to the loading of the Web Font, you'd probably need to go into functions.php and delete or comment out the code for loading the webfonts - it should be fairly obvious if you scan through the functions file.

It will look something like this:

wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400|Merriweather:400,300|Oswald:300,400,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );

Thanks
Dom
