Whoa, really?! It's been working great for me! I guess I'll go back to ShareThis, which I think did have the sharing buttons on the featured post.

Thanks for taking the time to look into it.

I appreciate the help!

[Elaine Griffin]

Thank you Ryan. Is there anything else I need to do? I put the code in the functions file, but I'm not seeing the buttons.

[Elaine Griffin]

Perfect! Thank you!

[Elaine Griffin]

Yes! Thank you.

[Elaine Griffin]

I am having another problem, now. I need the header background for the large sidebar to cover the entire width. I've tried all sorts of things to do that, and nothing is working!

[Elaine Griffin]

This worked perfectly, thank you!

[Elaine Griffin]

I'm still stuck on this, if anyone can help at all.

I have this in the before_sidebar hook:

<div class=”before-sidebar-ads”>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘before-sidebar-ads’ ); ?>
</div>

Here is what I have in my functions file:

/**add a new sidebar**/
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
‘id’        => ‘before-sidebar-ads’,
‘name’      => ‘Before Sidebar Ads’,
‘description’   => ‘This is a sidebar that goes before the sidebar.’,
) );
/** Loads a new sidebar before the sidebar */
function child_before_sidebar() {
echo ‘<div class="before-sidebar-ads”>’;
dynamic_sidebar( ‘before-sidebar-ads’ );
echo ‘</div>’;
}

I see the sidebar in my dashboard, but not on the site. The site is http://www.retro-food.com

Thank you!

[Elaine Griffin]

Okay, I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

Thank you!

Elaine

Hmmm, that gave me the white screen of death.

[Elaine Griffin]

Thanks Brian. I added my hook to the genesis_before_sidebar hook.

<div class="before-sidebar-ads">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'before-sidebar-ads' ); ?>
</div>

And now it is not showing up at all. Here is what I have in my functions file:

/**add a new sidebar**/
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id'        => 'before-sidebar-ads',
'name'      => 'Before Sidebar Ads',
'description'   => 'This is a sidebar that goes before the sidebar.',
) );
/** Loads a new sidebar before the sidebar */
function child_before_sidebar() {
echo '<div class="before-sidebar-ads">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'before-sidebar-ads' );
echo '</div>';
}
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id'        => 'after-content-widgets',
'name'      => 'After Content widgets',
'description'   => 'This is a sidebar that goes after the content.',
) );

I'm so confused. Every time I think I have a handle on registering sidebars and using hooks, I need help!

 

[Elaine Griffin]

Thanks for the input!

These nav bars make me feel like such a newbie!

I ended up fixing this - there was some rogue code that I neglected to remove that was causing the errors.

Thanks again!

[Elaine Griffin]

Oh, I know how to do that! It's similar to using images in the nav bar. I need to start thinking of these as transferable to other applications. Thanks again Brad!

[Elaine Griffin]

I think I saw that too. Something along the lines of:

.custom-page .id-4

For example. I can't quite remember. It's been one of those days!

[Elaine Griffin]

Thank you Brad!

Okay, that's what I thought, but I couldn't seem to get rid of the errors. Will try again.

This was from the WP support forum.

[Elaine Griffin]

That's a good idea, Carrie, thank you. I like the look of the CNN site. I hope that the client agrees to that kind of a set-up. Set-height boxes with the top links and then links to sub-pages.

[Elaine Griffin]

I fixed it! In case anyone else has this problem, the issue was I had not included clear:both in my stylesheet.

[Elaine Griffin]

In addition to all of this, the images are now duplicating.

All widgets look fine in the before content sidebar.

Hi Charlie.

I had a hard time with bbPress, too. It just was not very intuitive for me. I ended up using a Zingiri forum, which is pretty good, easy to customize. I'm having a small issue with a plugin, and the support isn't great, but it works for what it is. This was my first time installing a forum, and I'm sure your information will come in handy - thank you!

[Elaine Griffin]

Hi All,

I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this. I'm still stumped, and I've never had any problems with this before.

Thanks!

Elaine
