Okay, I used the code on another site I'm working on, and it displayed just fine. I am using it on the original site I asked about, and none of the content is displaying.
I have tried adding the code to both functions.php, and home.php, and I have the same outcome.
Thanks!

Awesome, thank you so much!

[Elaine Griffin]

Thanks anitac. I did try that, and it didn't work. Plus, it is a static landing page.

Brad, thanks so much. I just ran across similar code this morning and thought I would like to try this out. I'm going to give it a try.
Can I ask, though, what is the "5" for on line 10?
Thanks!

[Elaine Griffin]

Thanks anitac.
So what you are saying is I need to make my content area on the home page a widget area so I can use Featured Widget Amplified?
I have no idea what's going on with the featured images. They are all larger than the thumb, I've re-uploaded, etc. I had my client upload images and use them as featured images, because there were none when she didn't have any there.

Hey all! Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about this. I've been playing around and I'm still not getting it. I would love to finish this project.
Thanks!

Thanks Susan. Unfortunately, Regenerate Thumbnails didn't solve the issue, the images are still all multi-sized.

As far as the posts lining up, I wouldn't mind if they aren't all the same length, but I would at least like them side-by-side, which they are not. I'm wondering, though, if it's possible to choose character length and include the title in that?

Also, I still wondering how to get rid of "Read the full article »" the "&raquo" is not showing up as the arrow, but as the code.
Thanks!

[Elaine Griffin]

Haha! You too! 😉

[Elaine Griffin]

Oh really? That would have never occurred to me!
Thanks again! 🙂

Hi David,
Yeah, I tried to get rid of the overlap by putting the z-index in the header, which obviously didn't work.
I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I added the nav background to the header, put the menu in the header and margined it down. I guess the z-index plan seemed less complicated and fanangled to me.
Thanks for the help!

Okay, I did see those examples in my search.
This is what I was thinking:
<?php
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag

//* Modify the length of post excerpts
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length' );
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 50; // pull first 50 words
}

What I was confused about was whether or not I could write:
retrun 2; // pull first 2 paragraphs

Thank you so much!

[Elaine Griffin]

Thank you for this!
Numbers 2 and 3 I get, but could you go into a little more detail about 1? I am only very slowly understanding any PHP.
Thank you so much!

It was a plugin that was causing the issue, so I'm set with the navigation, but I still can't find a way to put the color behind the header image. I have scoured the web and I can't find a solution that works.

[Elaine Griffin]

UPDATE: Even when I create custom links, they still do not direct to the appropriate page.

[Elaine Griffin]

I've run it through validators, and fixed any small errors. I have deactivated all plugins, and that didn't help. I did recently upgrade WP, and Genesis. Do I/can I revert back? I've never had a problem before with WordPress or Genesis updates.
Thank you so much!

EDITING to say this is another site I'm having issues with. I will start a new thread for that.
Even stripping all of my custom CSS from the navigation down, my nav is still in the header area. I just don't know what to do here.

Thank you. I'm noticing that on another theme I'm working on. I don't understand because I've never had this problem before, and I'm not doing anything differently than I normally do.

[Elaine Griffin]

Found it! Random piece of code in there.
Thanks for the help!

[Elaine Griffin]

Thanks blogjunkie! I have changed themes, and it is a theme problem. It seems to be in my functions file, but I can't figure out where. I recently added:
/** Previous and Next Links **/
add_action('genesis_after_comment_form', 'custom_post_nav');
function custom_post_nav(){?>
<div style="font-size:13px; padding:2px;">
<?php previous_post_link('<b>Previous Post:</b> %link') ?><br />
<?php next_post_link('<b>Next Post:</b> %link') ?>
</div>
<?php }
And not seeing posts happened sometime after that, although I'm not sure when. When I remove that part of the code, I am still not seeing my content. Hmmm. 🙁

[Elaine Griffin]

Thanks Debra. While I try to avoid using too many plugins, I just might do that.

Thanks for the tip about the plugin!

[Elaine Griffin]

Yeah.

I just remembered Jetpack has sharing buttons, and they show up on features, so there we go.

Thanks again!
