I can see that within one of your media queries on your style sheet you have:

.home-middle
.widget,
.home-top
.widget {
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
float: left;
margin: -10px 0; < This bit is wrong
padding: 0 10px;
width: 25%;
}

You need to change the bit about margin (which I have highlighted above) from negative to positive so it reads

margin: 10px 0;

instead. If you have rem values on the margin then you need to change that also.

the padding-top: value will obviously change dependent on how big your header is.

Hi, thanks! Sorry I have already changed my design before having time to answer your question haha. I actually got bored with the sticky header. It is pretty easy to do though.. For the Epik theme I did this in the stylesheet..

.head-wrap {
position: fixed;
}

.site-inner {
padding-top: 134px;
}

Then, because i didn't want it to happen on small screen sizes (it takes up to much small on the screen) I did..

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {

.head-wrap {
position: relative;
}

.site-inner {
padding-top: 0;
}

Thanks Susan!

Ha, yes there are lots of widget areas. I actually removed them all from the functions.php file and all reference to them in the css as I knew I wasn't going to make a home page on this site, just a blog page. The only reason I chose Epik theme actually was for the portfolio page 🙂

just to clarify (i tend to waffle)

I am asking if to add javascript to my genesis site, for the purpose of installing a plugin, can i insert code such as

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/yourplugin/js/custom-script.js?ver=3.3.1'></script>

into my wp_head(): through the dashboard, or do i need to insert it somehow using functions.php.

Note: I only actually need the js to load on one specific page of my site, if that changes anything.

You Sir are a gentleman! Thanks!

You have not only pointed me in a good direction, but you have also kind of explained why I have had trouble finding documentation on creating child themes. I seems that most people who attempt to start creating a genesis child theme from scratch already have sufficient php knowledge from wordpress and then have no trouble at all adapting to the genesis framework. I came in from the wrong angle.

I am actually in my 7-day trial at Lynda.com so this works out perfectly.

I shall now move to the cheapest country I can find (with fast internet connection) and hide out for the next 6 months while I learn php. Then maybe one day I will be able to help somebody else who finds themselves in my current situation.

Thanks again!

PS When I said "I don’t want to spend a year studying something and then find out I only needed 10% of it. I will most likely only ever be working inside of a genesis child theme."

This really isn't out of laziness. If i have to learn it all then so be it. But I have always thought it is better to be really good at one specific thing than to try and be a jack of all trades. I just want to be able to create genesis child themes that are completely how i want them to be. Functions, styling and everything else. That is all.

Perfect. Thanks a lot. Now i can just copy the content into the code.

I wonder why the page content was never appearing? I thought that is what 'genesis_do_post_content' does.

Anyway problem solved either way. thanks again!

Hi, thanks for your help. Unfortunately it isn't putting the text where i wanted it though. It is putting it below the title of each of the images contained in the portfolio, not below the title in the actual page itself.

In the page_portfolio.php there is

// Adds Page Title and Content
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );

At the top, i would have thought this should pull up the title and the content of the page, and then pull the information from the other posts which make up the portfolio page. I have written content in the page but it never displays. I would ask Wes who designed Epik theme but every time I go to his website it never loads. I will keep looking anyway. Thanks for replying so quick btw.

Sorry i have realised I am asking the wrong question. I am wanting to know how to change the page_portfolio.php so it shows the content of the page before actually creating the portfolio. The only thing it is taking from the actual page that I create in wordpress is the title. Then it goes off and creates a portfolio of images.

I am guessing it would be something to do with 'entry-content'

ps on my other mac i have been having problems with chrome saying the "aw snap" error message every time I try to visit a website. To the point that it has become unusable. I'm not sure if this can be related in any way. I'm now on a different computer but at the same location.

Hi, I finally figured it out. It wasn't just the css code. After changing the css to transparent I also had to delete this code from the simple-social-icons.php

background-color: ' . $instance['background_color'] . ' !important;

i think this turns off the ability to change the colour in the widget menu and allows the css code to make it transparent. So for anybody wanting to do it, now you know 🙂

PS here is a link to a screen shot of Pingdom to show you what i mean. the yellow indicates waiting time. So, as you can see in the image, half of the whole loading time is just waiting time before even starting to download anything..

I dont seem to find any info apart from forums telling people to contact their hosting, which I did. But they said it is not them.

Again, thanks. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated!
