Hi @braddalton,

thank you very much!

Not everything seems to work though...

I am using some studiopress header code to see how it should or could work. But I cannot get the hover to work properly for the last 'button' on my menu.

Since the background goes white, I want the font to go black. But adding this to the hover css, does not seem to do anything.

Would you mind taking a look at my source code to see what is going wrong? My site is

@braddalton,

This is the code I added, but the color on hover does not work...

.testing a:link, a:visited {
    font-size: 14px;
    font-size: 1.4rem;
    padding: 12px 15px 9px;
    margin-left: 10px;
    background: none;
    border: 1px solid #fff;
    color: #fff;
}

.testing a:hover {
    border-color: #fff;
    background-color: #fff;
    color: #000 !important;
}

.testing a:active {
    background-color: #fff;
    border-color: #fff;
    color: #fff;
}

@braddalton,

thanks! It seems to work, but only half way...

I am using the studiopress header as an example, to see how it should or could work. But I cannot get the hover to work properly for the last 'button' on my menu. If that is the only thing that does not work...

On hover, the color should turn #000, I added !important to it, and when I investigate it (or try with chrome) it does say the color is black. This is what I added, but it just won't stick.

.testing a:link, a:visited {
    font-size: 14px;
    font-size: 1.4rem;
    padding: 12px 15px 9px;
    margin-left: 10px;
    background: none;
    border: 1px solid #fff;
    color: #fff;
}

.testing a:hover {
    border-color: #fff;
    background-color: #fff;
    color: #000 !important;
}

.testing a:active {
    background-color: #fff;
    border-color: #fff;
    color: #fff;
}

@braddalton

I think I get it now. Is the way to get there naming the CSS class like you say, something like 'test', and then style the hyperlink by adding '.test a:link'?

[dekraan]

Hi @braddalton,

Thank you for clearing this up. This was the same thing that was in the tutorial by Brian as well?

I took that step and adding a CSS class this way, only adds the class to the unordered list item 'li' and not to the hyperlink within this li.

Am I doing something wrong?

[dekraan]

Hi @braddalton,

That is a bit over my head. Do you mean open the nav_menus.php file through FTP of something and then make an adjustment somewhere?

I think that this adjustment would give me the option to add a CSS class to a link through the dashboard at menu's?

If this is the case, could you help me out some more by letting me know what I need to change in the PHP file?

[dekraan]

@braddalton, I tried to get it to work like that, and maybe I can. Might be a matter of tweaking the css. But it seems that studiopress themselves have gotten the hyperlink inside the list item a different class. And not the li-item itself. Is there a trick to do that?

[dekraan]

Hi Brad,

Thank you! That looks easy enough to give it a go.

Thank you very much. Just answered my question in the other post as well 🙂

I'll look into the differences and see if Infinity warrents the extra investment!

Thanks again!

Hi Brad and Bluebird,

Thanks for your great replies!

I think sticking to a ready made template might be the best for now. You scared me straight, Brad!

But I am also enthousiastic about what code Bluebird sent and might try to figure out how to get what I want, and make it myself.

A follow up question: which theme is newest and in comparison easiest to edit?

[dekraan]

Hi Brad,

Well, why not make the decision even harder, right? 🙂

The themes I mentioned are the ones I already bought.

I'll look these over. Where do they differ from the ones I mentioned?

What do they offer next to the widgetised homepage?

Love to hear your thoughts on this 🙂

[dekraan]

Wow, that is a perfect and simpele solution! Thank you 🙂

Hi David,

thank you for your honest critique. You are absolutely correct in your comments. Especially about the jumping part. I loved the large 'homepage' of the centric theme at first, but when I had the site done, I wanted the first line of the next box 'Klaar in slechts 3 stappen' to be visible as a trigger for my visitors.

Because I am a beginner I had no idea how to do this properly. Somewhere along the way the thought of starting with Parallax occured to me as well, but I shrubbed it because it would cost me time (and a little money). But now that the site is live, the ideas about the second version are already bubbling up, and using the other theme probably is the right way to go.

Thank you for your technical advice and pointers as well. I will definately use them, before I start 'building from scratch' again.

@marybaum,

sorry for not responding sooner, these notifications end up in my spamfolder, I just found out! Also, thank you for your advice. I've noticed that it does take a long time to load. Luckily I have a friend who is in graphic design, I will ask her to compress it!

[dekraan]

Thanks. I did just that and it works. It doesn't seem like I have to though, since the demo doesn't have that 'space' at the top.

But if it works... 🙂

[dekraan]

You did it! Very nice. As an amateur I thought I had to php something, but this is great work and very easy, thank you!

[dekraan]

Hi braddalton,

I'm tinkering in the genesis sample. I've taken the 'coming soon' link off, and here it is!

[dekraan]

Hi Brad,

While tinkering i left one post about a quick brown fox standing there. I do have an under construction plugin activated. Could that play a part?
