Looks like my plugin is old. I'm disappointed since I really liked this plugin. Oh well.
I'm moving on to Easy FancyBox. Unless someone has another suggestion...

Thanks, Chris

jQuery Colorbox plugin is not working accurately in Altitude Pro when an image is only in a sidebar - so this affects the home page and any page with images only in the sidebar.
It works fine in other themes. Any help would be appreciated.

Works here:

Doesn't work here:
http://cotelawpllc.beckerstudio.com/
or
http://cotelawpllc.beckerstudio.com/sample-2/

Thanks for your help.

It is happening on those other pages.
You can either comment out the style or remove it. I prefer commenting out code rather than deleting in case I want to go back to it. So you should edit it as:

.full-width-image img,
.breakthrough-featured-image img,
.portfolio-featured-image img {
/***filter: url('#breakthrough-overlay');***/
}

I hope this helps. Chris

Tables generally work this way. 2 possible ways to solve this are use a smaller font or put a <span style="white-space:nowrap;">your text</span>.

Or you could follow this solution (I haven't tried it though so I don't promise that it will solve the problem).

.wrapword{
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important;  /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -webkit-pre-wrap; /*Chrome & Safari */ 
white-space: -pre-wrap;      /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;    /* Opera 7 */
white-space: pre-wrap;       /* css-3 */
word-wrap: break-word;       /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
word-break: break-all;
white-space: normal;
}

<table style="table-layout:fixed; width:400px">
    <tr>
        <td class="wrapword">
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Your directions for getting started for your theme should have some directions in this respect.
You can go here to get some info:
http://my.studiopress.com/setup/outreach-theme/

Basically, you'll want to do the following:

• customize your header with an image
• modify your top-right widget area to have whatever you want on the top-right and then your main menu

You may have to do some styling to make sure everything stays right justified.

Hopefully this helps.

That did it. Thanks so much Badlywired.
So can you imagine any way that it would "harm" a site? Checked the site and everything seems ok - for now.
Thanks again!

[csbeck]

Checking again to see if anyone has an ideas about this.

I really like Layer Slider WP. It's not free, but it's pretty cheap $17. It's responsive and very feature rich. You can find it here:

[csbeck]

Thanks Robin.
Looks to be a little more work than just hooking code or editing the functions. Too bad.
I'll give it a go and post my result.

Nevermind Stinkykong. I found the answer. Not sure why this didn't work before because I thought I tried it. Guess not.

For anyone who is interested, here's how I wrapped the header and nav and positioned the primary nav after the header. This is so I could keep the header and primary nav at the top of the screen and apply standard child theme responsive styling (for Enterprise Pro).

Use Genesis Simple Hooks and make these changes:
Header Hooks Section
genesis_before_header Hook
add the code:
<div class="header-nav-wrap">

genesis_after_header Hook
add the code:
</div>

Then add this to the functions.php to reposition the primary navigation:

//* Reposition the primary navigation menu
remove_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );

This worked for me anyway. Now I just have to finish my styling.

[csbeck]

Hey Stinkykong, looks like you're getting close with your navigation and header.
I'm trying to do something similar:
http://histogenics.beckerstudio.com/

I've not finished mine - as you can see there are two sets of navigation (one is the primary (in the back) and one is the top-right header widget with a nav menu). I'm trying to make my navigation work like this:
http://www.histogenics.com
Yes the sites are the same - we're converting their existing site to WordPress.

Anyway, I believe that I could make my header and primary nav work and style it the way I want if I could get them to be in a contained div. Everything I've tried either puts the nav above or below the header and not within a containing div (so I can keep them both visible all the time at the top of the page).

How did you get yours to have this structure?

<div class="head-wrap">
    <div class="head-wrap-inner">
      <header class="site-header"></div>
      <nav class="nav-primary"></div>
    </div>
</div>

I think if I could do this, then I could do what I need to do.

Thanks! Chris

[csbeck]

Thanks!
Right, yes I do have to do the responsive styling. I'll get there though.

[csbeck]

OK, I found a solution to this for others who may want the help.
So I have a logo that I want to hang over the content below and I want the Genesis Responsive Slider to come up under the logo and go adjacent to the top menu bar (which is actually in the top-right widget).

I added the following to the styles.css
.site-header {
background: url(images/bg-head.png) repeat-x 0 0 transparent;
min-height: 84px;
position: relative;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 20px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.3);
box-shadow: 0 0 20px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.3);
z-index: 1;
}
.site-header .wrap {
position: relative;
}

.title-area {
float: left;
padding: 0 0 0.4rem;
position: absolute;
width: 320px;
z-index: 2;
}

So now the hanging logo now floats over the banner area.

Hopefully this helps someone a bit.

Yes, I have a custom sidebar with content in it for the Blog categories. You'll see in this page's sidebar, near the bottom, I've included a Twitter feed.
http://www.acquire-b2b.net/blog/marketing-automation-pros-and-amateurs

I assigned this Blog sidebar to this post by hand. I would like the Marketing or Lead Gen post (another post assigned to the blog category) to display this same sidebar which is selected in the Blog category.

I hope this helps. It's very strange.

Thanks.

PS - Also, I'm using Agency.

Thanks Brad, but I've been banging my head on this the whole day and nothing seems to work. I can't believe this can't be done more easily.

So here's what I've done.

I have the plugin - Advanced Custom Fields. I have these custom fields showing up now on the Post content page by using Genesis Simple Hooks and putting right after the Post Title. This Post shows how I pretty much want all of the professionals pages to look:
http://grglaw.beckerstudio.com/professionals/karen-kane

Now the only problem is I'd like the listing of the professionals to be on a grid while leaving all the other Blog and Archive pages alone. I thought I could just create a custom archive page, but I'm not succeeding with that either.
Here's the listing page with the new template: http://grglaw.beckerstudio.com/professionals-listing-01
Karen Kane's entry looks pretty good (the right info). The list isn't shown in a Grid.

Here's the listing page but with a blog-page template that shows content at the top of the list: http://grglaw.beckerstudio.com/our-professionals
None of these are correct and it looks like the page is not filtering for the category "professionals".

Here's my code of the custom archive page:

So I'd really like to get the archive list for just the Professionals to be a Grid and leave all other archives and Blog pages in their generic display.

My fallback will be to layout the Professional's Listing Page as a grid in a page and hardcode the links and info. It won't be very good for the end client, but I'm at my wit's end.

Any additional direction and help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm even considering paying on this if necessary.

Thanks, Chris

Here's how I would like this one page to look.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54563062/professionals_page01.jpg

[csbeck]

Hi Brad,
Thanks as always.
Unfortunately it's not working - I'm sure it's user error.

So I created a new template file called "page_feature_loop.php" and assigned it a template name of "Feature Loop Page".

https://gist.github.com/csbeck/5827856

I removed the page_blog.php template from the template directory.

I assigned the page to that template.

Going to the page now shows some of the content on the page but there's a link to "continue reading...". I'm not sure what's going on. I must have done something wrong.
http://grglaw.beckerstudio.com/our-professionals

Also, this page is still showing a grid.
http://grglaw.beckerstudio.com/rulings-and-decisions

Should Genesis Grid loop plugin be activated? I've tried the same pages with and without the plugin being activated.

Please impart of your wisdom one more time. 😉

[csbeck]

I'm assuming you're not getting any Dashboard. Or are you in a page and you don't see the visual editor?

What computer operating system and browser are you using?

Is this a brand new installation? Did you touch any of the code in the functions.php?

You can also try changing your theme to Genesis to see if this still happens. Then try switching to a standard WordPress theme like Twenty-Twelve.

Let us know what happens.

Basically it's a div outside of the content (above it) and it's given a style that keeps it at the bottom.

You could add a div before the content using Genesis Simple Hooks and put it in the genesis_before_header Hook:

<div id="my_overlay">My content</div>

Then in your CSS (styles.css) you could add this style:

#my_overlay {
  background: url("images/bg-overlay.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
  bottom: 0;
  height: 65px;
  left: 0;
  position: fixed;
  width: 100%;
   z-index: 1000;
}

At least this is the style that StudioPress is using.

[csbeck]

Thanks Robin.

I also started a new post with this similar subject - http://www.studiopress.community/topic/using-query_args-with-custom-fields/

Hopefully this will help anyone else with this challenge.
