Media queries are towards the bottom of the CSS file, they deal with screen sizes. For instance I use a mobile first approach so all my css is geared towards mobile and then towards the bottom of the css some inclusions for web are given.
@media only screen and (min-width: 800px)So everything 800px and above uses the css code below that line.
Typically you will see the opposite though, and media queries will be for mobile as 99.99% of theme design is for desktops.
@media only screen and (max-width: 960px)@media only screen and (max-width: 600px)I use sucuri firewall and malware security, they are pretty expensive though for the 4 hour support. There are cheap/free options without support.
I also run iThemes, and cloudflare for triple security levels. On top of using Genesis you shouldn't have any issues.
I did have an issue with one client who kept getting hacked some time ago, email scripts were placed on the server sending mass emails to random gmail/yahoo accounts... The only difference I could find between them and other clients was that WordPress was installed in the root directory rather than a subfolder such as /wp/ Additionally it was an old pre 3.0 installation (albeit updates). There may have been some residual old plugin files they were never deleted correctly, but database was optimized.
To fix I had to export all posts using WordPress export plugin. wp-admin -> tools/export/ Then reinstall WordPress on a new server. Set everything back up from scratch then import all posts and pages and make sure my contact form was working. Since then I haven't had any problems.
Anyone else know anything about the mobile-first theme by Brian?
PS. I realise the url doesn't work and goes to a wix website.
Will need to edit your hosts file if viewing is required. (C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts - or Google Mac/Linux hosts file)
175.45.98.133 www.culturalflexibility.com.au culturalflexibility.com.auhmmm none of those work (with sidr as an exception of course). I thought mobile-first was a relatively new theme. But perhaps it's based off an older default theme or things have been changed unnecessarily.
Twitter feed and popular posts widgets are broken. other than that it looks great... it's clean and well designed.
I'd customise the footer a bit, but that's just me. I don't think linking out to Genesis and WordPress and your login address does you or your readers any favours.
Go download Firebug extension for Firefox or Chrome (I didn't find chrome version as good- but works). go to the pricing tables. Right Click on the element. It should contain the css you are looking for (copy it to notepad or textpad). Use firebug on your own tables as well copy colors, backgrounds, borders as you desire.
Kelly is giving you way too many options there.
Visual Composer (VC) was the original page builder plugin and still the best selling plugin on Code Canyon. The reason for this is unbridled support and constant non-stop develop since 2011. Innovating every feature included and a lot of development time.
There's 100's of clone page builders out there. Some are probably even really good, (the one included in Kallyas theme is a good example) but it's hard to ignore the big elephant in the room. Especially when there's 1000's of people pointing at it.
Future versions of VC will include many styles of paralax design (already included in many of the cheap extensions you can get for VC and the one I listed), plus many other great features and you have updates for life.
I don't work for them, or have any affiliation (besides having an affiliate code, which I didn't include in my URL's) Just a happy customer.
The css which is adding 30px bottom is
.entry-content ol, .entry-content p, .entry-content ul, .quote-caption, .clear-lineCTRL + F to find the code.
so using Wisdm's above code will work if it's below that section or you add "!important ;" to the end of the statement.
You want "Visual Composer" ($28 here) and "Visual Composer Extensions" ($17 here)
Plus there's tons of other VC plugins with different stylesheets if the extension plugin doesn't tickle your fancy. However I like it as $17 for just about every element you can imagine.
As far as actual "theming" goes. Find a theme you like inspect elements and copy css until you have something identical.
You can take the stylesheet from sample and apply the top few categories to your stylesheet, such as normalizing, col layouts. etc, the twitter bootstrap parts.
/* # Table of Contents - HTML5 Reset - Baseline Normalize - Box Sizing - Float Clearing - Defaults - Typographical Elements - Headings - Objects - Gallery - Forms - Tables - Structure and Layout - Site Containers - Column Widths and Positions - Column ClassesTry that see if it helps, also search studiopress for "responsive Header" and "responsive navbar" there's 100's of posts on that.
You can go back to them, the only way those themes were infected was either, A: a breach in security or B: StudioPress website and theme files were hacked and you downloaded on the day that happened.
"B" is a highly unlikely scenario.
But there is a 3rd scenario. Your hosting company is run by retards who have no idea what they are talking about and just like to f*^k with their customers.

There would be no problem re-uploading the theme files (get a fresh copies) and then installing security plugins. Bulletproof security is great but is a pain to configure and install correctly. iThemes security has the same issues, it's more user friendly, however there are options in there that can conflict with server settings and cause error:500 across your whole site. Such as hide file directories, and such. There are little warning notes next to the settings, however you will probably crash a site or two before you figure it out.
If it does crash, delete the plugin via FTP, and restore a saved copy of .htaccess. (always have a backup of that)
if your monitor is only 1140px wide then yes it will take up 100%. Most monitors these days are 1980x1040.
You can use percentages, that way the image should stretch or shrink to fit. Just make sure to make the header 100% and the image 100% as well. work from there, you might need to make the image 99.99% or something but you won't know until you try it.
It's not possible as it's CSS based (I believe). I know it's important to include them but for the most part is difficult to include EVERY image. things like like breaks and social icons, backgrounds etc. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Just focus on Alt's for post images.
In regards to the header, how would I make that stackable? I've seen a few guides on making the logo responsive which I need to get around to, and the navbar needs to be responsive as well.
But if I do move the logo over and place the number in the header, just making that responsive wouldn't work as the number would look tiny or huge on smartphones and still be right of the logo. If it could stack under the logo that would be OK./
Even the text isn't really responsive as it's all pixel based. For themes to be responsive everything should be em based, shouldn't it?
I guess it depends where you live Susan. I lived in Ferny Hills/The Gap (20 mins west of Brisbane inner city) for a few years adjacent Samford National park in FH and behind the original quarry @ The Gap so saw a lot of them. Had a 3m python living in the roof for the most of the time at Ferny preying on possums and our cats (thankfully unsuccessful on the cats). But some people want them removed or killed.
I know my neighbor actually called a pest control guy for a snake at one point, who told her she had to call a snake remover. She was a bit silly about it, she also used to setup cage traps for all the bush turkeys.
For the most part they don't make it into suburb areas but Ive seen a few eastern brown's and red bellies.
