    Fiverr really shouldn't be the place to turn to, especially for things like this. I wouldn't entrust the health of a website that meant anything to me to someone who was charging $5. Good luck either way.

    Ren Ventura
    Member

    This is happening because there's a style discrepancy between the site-title being an H1 on the home page and a paragraph on everything else. Personally, I don't like this so I change the site title on websites I build using the genesis_seo_title filter, which allows me to use whatever markup I want.

    GoDaddy is automatically installing something of theirs in your mu-plugins directory (hence the "gd" in gd-system-plugin.php). Anything in this folder will run regardless of whether you activate it or not. End users often have no knowledge of what's in mu-plugins because they don't show up in the regular list of plugins installed on your site.

    The errors you pasted typically result from using the value of an HTTP variable (i.e. $_GET, $_POST, etc.) without checking to first make sure it exists. Long story short, it is your host's fault because the errors are produced by code within their own plugin they install on your site.

    You also likely have WP_DEBUG enabled so if you disable it in your wp-config.php file, the error notice should go away.

    Run your custom field value through do_shortcode() before outputting it. For example:

    echo do_shortcode( get_post_meta( get_the_id(), 'custom_field_key', true ) );

    The do_shortcode() function tells WordPress to render any shortcode passed through it.

    Ren Ventura
    Member

    You can create a single-{post_type}.php template. In that template, the only thing that is technically required is the genesis() call at the end. Other than that, you can modify everything via Genesis hooks. If you need to change the default markup, you can do that too by just removing the default loop and adding your new markup. To include custom fields, you call get_post_meta(). Here's an example template:

    
    <?php
    
    remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
    add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'custom_genesis_loop' );
    function custom_genesis_loop() {
    
    	//* Your markup here
    
    }
    
    genesis();

    In my opinion, a full membership plugin may be overkill in this scenario. A few conditionals, redirects, and even updated menus (add/remove links when needed) should do the trick. You can create a new role with custom capability for the users (i.e. "Staff" who can "view_staff_content") and then run a current_user_can( 'view_staff_content' ) check. This will involve a bit of code but will be a leaner situation. Just something else to consider.

    Ren Ventura
    Member

    Copying the front page templates to use as page templates is likely going to be a very messy process because you also have to take into account the fact that those front pages are "widgetized", meaning each of their respective themes has specialized widgets to use with the template; the templates aren't built to be used repeatedly on other pages. You couldn't just use the same widgets for each page running the templates because the content would be the same on every page. You'd need to register new widgets in Education for each page you want to use the templates on and output the widgets conditionally. There MIGHT be something that can be done to automate this but that's being optimistic. Otherwise, you'd need to use a different method for adding the content, such as custom fields, in which case you'd need to either work on keeping the same markup as with the widgetized version or change the CSS as needed to account for any changes in the markup that would effect the style, such as styles assigned to a particular section's widgets. Either way, it's going to be dirty.

    Personally, I'd just avoid trying to hack the existing front templates and start from scratch using pieces from them as they fit in to my own solution.

    Ren Ventura
    Member

    If you're using Pages to organize your content then I don't think what you're trying to do is going to be possible - at least not automatically. The reason is because pages don't have the type of chronological flow that posts do so there's no logical order and, thus, no way to get the "next" or "previous" page. You'll either need to add the links manually or switch to posts (a custom post type would likely be more beneficial than regular posts).

    Hmm. It's strange a plugin would make you add code like this.

    The div with class "example_parent_element" doesn't look like it needs to be added because it's just an example parent element. You need to add the rest of the HTML to the appropriate container, probably "site-inner". You also need to make sure the Javascript file is being added correctly.

    How are you adding the code it provides? Please share the complete code, including which hook you're using.

    First, your post type needs to support authors so make sure you've done that. Then, you can select any user with a role of Contributor or higher. If you don't see the meta box with the dropdown to select an author, click "Screen Options" in the top-right corner of your screen and make sure the author checkbox is checked.

    First, make sure that 20584 is the correct post ID. Next, is_single() will not work for pages so you'll need to use is_page().

    You'll want to use get_previous_post_link() and get_next_post_link()

    If that code is exactly how you're using it, you have to attach it to an action hook. Since you want it in the footer, you'd use something like this:

    remove_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer');
    add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'my_custom_footer' );
    function my_custom_footer() {
    
    	// code here
    
    }
    

    This removes the default Genesis footer and outputs your own.

    Well, you aren't directly editing Genesis, which is the parent theme. Your customizations are made to your child theme. I just want to emphasize not making any edits within the core Genesis theme folder because it's dangerous and any successful edits will be overwritten when Genesis is updated.

    Using pages is going to be more trouble than it's worth. Here are the links you'll want to look at to remove post info (in the post header) and post meta (post footer).

    When you inspect it in Chrome, the area where you uncheck overflow property will also include a line number (i.e. style.css?ver=1.0:500 where 500 is the line number and style.css is the stylesheet that contains the CSS). Go into the stylesheet and, at that line number, make your change.

    Not that I'm aware of. You probably just need some CSS to style them. CSS isn't difficult and a little knowledge can get you a long way so that might be something to consider.
