These are excellent:
https://compressor.io/compress (when it works)
https://kraken.io/web-interfaceJust drag in your image and let it do the work 🙂
Anyone else know of any others?
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMember@loribivens: Nope. Unfortunately, that's the standard method that uses CSS only ... which doesn't give the required result here. My proposed solution works together with the custom header support method, i.e. it doesn't (and is not meant to) replace it.
@theresash has already implemented my proposal (see here) ... although she hasn't confirmed that she's happy with it. She could be suffering in silence ... muttering various expletives under her breath 🙂If you have some troubles then feel free to open new thread so that someone can help. Different people have different versions of the same problems 🙂
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberI'm looking through the design-settings.php file for the Prose theme ... hoping to get a clear idea about what you're looking for ...
Are you referring to the
p.notice
bit?
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberTake a look at this: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-date-part-of-the-title
I just tested it and it works. You would just need to modify the date format.
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberYou mean something like this screenshot here?
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberSo ... you mean instead of "Urgent: 06/05/15 CMS Revises Physician $ Allowables" having
color: #0D96E6;
, you just want "Urgent:" to be that colour, while "06/05/15 CMS Revises Physician $ Allowables" hascolor: #FF0000;
?If so, you would need to modify the text in your link to be something like:
Urgent: <span class="test-highlight">06/05/15 CMS Revises Physician $ Allowables</span>
Then define the CSS as follows:
.test-highlight { color: #ff0000; }
and then add
.test-highlight:hover
to wherever you finda:hover
in your style.css file.By the way ... the "Jennifer" thing in the bottom right-hand corner ... autoplay on page load is exceptionally annoying 🙂
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberActually ... on closer inspection, I don't think that line is even meant to be there 🙂
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMember<a href="mailto:xxxxxxxx"Drop me a line, and let me answer your questions. </a>
should be
<a href="mailto:xxxxxxxx">Drop me a line, and let me answer your questions. </a>
Start with that first 🙂
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInJune 8, 2015 at 7:00 pm in reply to: Daily Dish: Need Category 'Posts' Nav Submenu + Sample Layout Questions Pls #155470Erik D. SlaterMemberI cannot determine which widgets for the layout on the sample page
Featured Dinners, Featured Desserts and Featured Dishes are all generated using the standard Genesis - Featured Posts widget ... which you will find under Available Widgets.
I have configured the primary menu for categories and want new posts to show up automatically as part of a sub-nav menu under the appropriate category
The navigation menus are not designed to be dynamic in the way you hope ... which is why you're having trouble figuring it out.
Whether or not this is a good idea could be up for debate ... mostly for reasons concerning user experience, since a constantly-changing menu option could be annoying to many. But also, the search engines may interpret elements that have been marked with the schema.org SiteNavigationElement item type in a certain way that requires a degree of consistency.
Having said that, if you really must do this, the likely approach would be to register a new genesis sidebar that hooks into the wp_nav_menu_items filter. This would provide you with a custom widget in your admin area ... which would then allow you to use the Featured Posts widget for a category.
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberOh ... the goal is very clear ... get more users onto the Rainmaker Platform 🙂
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberIn that case, the workshop might provide you with some real value ... and one of the best ways to learn about building your own Genesis child theme would be to purchase their entire collection of themes ... since some do things others don't. You will also get to see how and when to use Genesis hooks in addition to those provided by WordPress itself.
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberI agree with @Christoph here.
I'm also not entirely sure what you mean when you talk about developing a theme from scratch. Are you looking to create your own version of the Genesis Framework? Or are you talking about developing your own "child" theme from scratch?
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberFor the avoidance of confusion over the term "category", what steps did you you take to create the original "amber products" page?
The best thing to do might be to revert back to what you had ... then we can work through it. I'm trying to avoid giving you a solution which could get lost if you ever move your site in the future.
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberErik D. SlaterMemberRight now, the background being used for your footer is http://www.codetoolz.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Footer.png ... which is not what you want.
Remove "wordpress/" and you will be a happy bunny once more 🙂
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberYep - you definitely added highlight to the CSS classes box for the "Pay Here" option. That much we can see 🙂
You now need to add the following to your style.css file:
.highlight { STYLE DEFINITION(S) GO HERE }
So then ... what goes in place of "STYLE DEFINITION(S) GO HERE"? Only you know the answer to that question, my friend 🙂
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberYour questions are completely valid ... and I generally curse WordPress (they're not alone here) for making things sound a lot more trivial than they really are 🙂
As a general rule, you should never delete a page from your website ... mainly for reasons concerning user experience 🙂 But in terms of the SEO thing, it helps the search engines to understand what they should be doing with your pages when you do make changes ... so it's less about being penalized, and more about keeping them informed.
The "Canonical URL" is simply the URL you would prefer to use for a particular page. Again, it helps the search engines when they discover two or more pages that either point to the same page or contain exactly the same content. The classic example here is the similarity between:
- http://example.com/
- http://www.example.com/
- https://example.com/
- https://www.example.com/
These are all the same page ... but the search engines view them as four different pages ... it's the whole "duplicate" content thing.I think at this point, it would be best if you could post your old link and your new link ... so that we can see what you're trying to achieve.
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberExcellent question.
You should definitely be doing a redirect ... so that people who access your page with the old URL will be redirected to the new one ... thus avoiding a "page not found" scenario.
You actually want to implement a 301 redirect to avoid any negative SEO impact ... because a 301 redirect is permanent and passes page rankability to your new page.
A 302 redirect is temporary ... which tells the search engines not to consider your new page to be ranked ... and possibly even indexed.
You say that you are using Yoast's SEO plugin ... and his option is actually a 301 redirect. Just go to your old page in your dashboard ... scroll down to the "WordPress SEO by Yoast" area ... click on the "Advanced" tab ... then enter the new URL into the "301 Redirect" box. For completeness, you should also add it to the "Canonical URL" box above it.
Let us know if you run into any troubles there 🙂
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInJune 7, 2015 at 10:52 pm in reply to: Genesis Featured Posts Widget – Horizontal on Altitude Pro? #155308Erik D. SlaterMemberTry the following:
.home .featuredpost .entry { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; padding: 2rem; min-height: 250px; min-width: 150px; vertical-align: top; width: 25%; }
Erik D. Slater: Digital Platform Consultant • LinkedInErik D. SlaterMemberRemember when I said before that we will likely have to "replace the bit we just added"? Well, we have arrived at that moment 🙂
You now need to change:
.simple-social-icons {
float: right;
}
to
.site-footer .simple-social-icons {
float: right;
}
