Has anyone used this?
September 13, 2014 at 4:51 pm in reply to: Seeking recommendations for an events registration plugin #124281devParticipantThanks, Summer. That looks like a nice system but I think I'll let it "age" a bit before I throw it on a client site.
I put in this free plugin to see how it might work and while it is not the most beautiful interface I've seen, it's serviceable and the price (donation) is right.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-registration/
I don't like buying plugins from the Theme Forest type vendors I never heard of because if they don't work or I don't like them... it can be a PITA to get a refund. (Note to all plugin vendors... try to have a demo or at least a ton of screenshots so your customer (i.e. me!) can be 'sold' on the product by "seeing" it.)
September 13, 2014 at 3:18 pm in reply to: Seeking recommendations for an events registration plugin #124272devParticipantEventbrite is not acceptable by client.
Does anyone recommend an event (seminar) registration plugin besides Espresso that will 'hook' into PayPal for payment?

Help. I really need need a suggestion from someone who has done a registration site before.
Thanks.
devParticipantI use the Chrome Inspect Element or whatever they call it. I'm pretty good with it and I tried popping in the transparent CSS everywhere that looked like it would work... but didn't see this amalgamation of classes:
.header-full-width .title-area, .header-full-width .site-title, .metro-pro-red .site-title a {
background: transparent;
}Normally I disable the built-in WP header and do everything via CSS but this was my first time using Metro so I thought I'd give the WP system a try (I like the Appfinite themes a bit better than SP themes.) I bet this would have been easier or more evident if I had gone ahead in functions.php and commented out:
add_theme_support( 'custom-header', array(
'width' => 786,
'height' => 296,
'header-selector' => '.site-title a',
'header-text' => false
) );and put in the header image via CSS instead of using the WP GUI.
Thanks again.
PS: I don't much like the look of the site but client is a well-known West Coast R&B dance/rap artist and likes the somewhat 'edgy' style. Right now the site is just using 'placeholder' text and pix. We're trying to get him to use a better header image but he likes what he likes.. and the client is always right... even when they are wrong!!
devParticipantAnita, YOU are amazing. I worked on this for an hour... you found it in two minutes!
Works great.
THANK YOU!
devParticipantYou are welcome. There is probably a cleaner / better way to do this... probably some plugin out there, but our shop hasn't found it yet! I think we 'stole' the code from Brad's site (he has a huge reference of library of code snippets) ... not sure.
You may have to add some CSS margin or padding code to get the widget placed where you want but it should be close without it.
devParticipantAre you at least seeing the widget area on the widget page?
The code should work. You are putting it in the functions.php file, right?
devParticipantput the code in at at the end of the functions.php file using the built-in WP editor (under Appearances). After you save it, go to the Widgets page and you should see a new widget area. Remember to change the ID to that of YOUR blog page.
devParticipantLearn how to write a media query in your CSS file to adjust the width of the menu area on small device screens. It is not that difficult.
devParticipantIf you want to mess with code it would not be that difficult to put in a bunch of new widget areas on any of the Studio Press themes.
You might find something like the Optimal theme from http://appfinite.com to be useful.
Finally, you could build your own rather easily with the Dynamik system: http://cobaltapps.com/downloads/dynamik-website-builder/
devParticipantThe site you gave us the link to is not a WP site, unless I'm looking at the wrong site?
devParticipantPut the header back in, otherwise we can't help you!
After putting the header back, deactivate all of your plugins and see if it comes back. If so, then activate them one by one and see if one or more of them has a conflict.
Report back here.

Personally, I wouldn't do it... but I have more money than time these days.
Also, I think you will get a discount being a current customer of SP. We're a design house so we have the "developer" level or whatever SP calls it these days. I don't keep current on SP prices because we don't charge our customers for the theme they choose... it's all part of our $1500 package.

July 6, 2014 at 5:59 pm in reply to: Primary Navigation/search box not showing up properly on mobile devices #113163devParticipantFind it here: http://my.studiopress.com/themes/
devParticipantThere is probably a better way than this (which I'm sure someone will post here).
I use this code. Change the "is_page" from "333" to whatever the ID of your blog page is. If you don't know how to find the ID of your page, search for it here... it's easy.
This will give you a widget area which will let you use the slider widget of your choice.
// For sticky blog... put this at end of theme's functions.php flle genesis_register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'text-before-blog', 'name' => 'Text Before Blog', 'description' => 'This is the widget for displaying text before blog posts.', ) ); add_action('genesis_before_content', 'apparition_text_before_blog' ); function apparition_text_before_blog() { if( is_page(333) ) { echo '<div class="text-before-blog">'; dynamic_sidebar( 'text-before-blog' ); echo '</div>'; } }
Hope this helps. Like I say there is probably a plugin or better code to create a 'sticky' widget area on the blog page. I've never used it for a slider, but only for a text box... like the "Change is Constant" blurb on our site.
Hope this works for you.
July 6, 2014 at 5:46 pm in reply to: Primary Navigation/search box not showing up properly on mobile devices #113160devParticipantI looked at the style.css file you are using:
/* Theme Name: Magazine Child Theme Theme URI: http://www.studiopress.com/themes/magazine Description: Magazine is a two or three column child theme created for the Genesis Framework. Author: StudioPress Author URI: http://www.studiopress.com/ Version: 2.0.1 Tags: black, custom-background, custom-header, custom-menu, featured-images, fixed-width, gray, left-sidebar, one-column, right-sidebar, sticky-post, theme-options, threaded-comments, three-columns, translation-ready, two-columns, white Template: genesis Template Version: 1.8 License: GNU General Public License v2.0 License URI: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php */
You are using an old version of the Magazine theme which does not have media queries and obviously was not designed to be responsive for small-screen devices.
Why don't you use the new Magazine-Pro replacement that StudioPress published to replace Magazine?
/* Theme Name: Magazine Pro Theme Theme URI: http://my.studiopress.com/themes/magazine/ Description: A mobile responsive and HTML5 theme built for the Genesis Framework. Author: StudioPress Author URI: http://www.studiopress.com/ Version: 3.0.2 Tags: black, white, one-column, responsive-layout, custom-background, custom-header, custom-menu, full-width-template, sticky-post, theme-options, threaded-comments, translation-ready, premise-landing-page Template: genesis Template Version: 2.0 License: GPL-2.0+ License URI: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php */
devParticipantWell then tell me how you put in the URLs that the tabs are pointing to? What does "/#cat-83" refer to? Looks like an HTML href 'target' or "jump to" point to me.
Have you tried re-installing the plugin?
Dev
devParticipantSee http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/header which might help.
Brad Dalton has an excellent piece on this too... probably better than above.
http://wpsites.net/web-design/remove-header/
I know you want to reorder and not remove, but this may give you some ideas until Brad shows up to tell us all how it should be done. It's beyond my pay grade! 🙂
devParticipantdevParticipantI don't know what this plugin is supposed to do but the tabs are set to (left to right):
http://www.uktransactionalanalysis.co.uk/#cat-51
http://www.uktransactionalanalysis.co.uk/#cat-3
http://www.uktransactionalanalysis.co.uk/#cat-35
http://www.uktransactionalanalysis.co.uk/#cat-83and all of these resolve to your homepage.
So it seems to me that your internal settings are wrong? Shouldn't these URLS be pages or posts?
