Hi Dave,

As I said earlier, I've only just started with Genesis and WordPress, although I'd tinkered with WP and Thesis some time ago. I sort of fell out with Thesis now it's moved to Thesis 2 and, having read what users said about Genesis, thought I would give it a go. You've certainly helped me take steps in the right direction and I thank you for the help!

You obviously like 'digging into' all that WP and Genesis offer. I had downloaded Chris's Visual Hooks, but obviously wasn't aware how to use them till your explanations showed me the light.

Like you, I now want to dig further into the coding side until I can understand it somewhat better.

We use 999 for emergency calls in this country - ahem! 😉 so I won't ask!

Hi Dave,

Didn't need good luck after visiting the links you kindly provided!

Your information was 'spot on' and provided me with the info I was looking for. It works like a dream, thank you.
I'm sure that other people will find this very helpful too.

Hi Dave,

You got me hooked into trying my hand at converting that particular theme into html5. I did a search on the web and found a tutorial from http://cobaltapps.com/genesis-xhtml-to-html5-css-converter/ which lists the steps to do so. Rather than use the site referred to above, I've set up a local site on my vhosts to try it out first.

The tutorial is very straight forward and very helpful and easy enough to implement. I copied the css stylesheet and put it through the mincer at the above site and then pasted it into my stylesheet. I also pasted in the code (// Enable HTML5 markup
add_theme_support( 'html5' );) into the Decor theme functions.php file
Everything worked with the exception of the top corners of the centre column not appearing.

I tracked down what I know is the code to install the fancy corners and this also appears in the functions.php file.
//* Add post/page wraps
add_action( 'genesis_before_post_title', 'decor_start_post_wrap' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'decor_end_post_wrap' );

function decor_start_post_wrap() {
?>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="left-corner"></div>
<div class="right-corner"></div>
<?php
}

function decor_end_post_wrap() {
?>
</div>

Can you give me a clue as to why this isn't working?

Thank you in advance.

Andrea, Dave,

Thank you for your replies.

I think I might be waiting for Studiopress to do the geekie alterations for me, although I have seen a tutorial on the net explaining what is to be done to convert it.

Many thanks for your explanations.

David
