Thanks guys, this post was helpful to me to apply the solution to the portfolio posts to hide the title by just changing the slug

[Harley130]

Moody,
Thanks for your input, I was using the Windows version of Firefox, I have optimized the images but they optimized to the theme but I'm going to look into do so more.
When I first had the problem, GTmetrix was rating the page as a 66 with a D grade, after working on some of the images I got it up to a 74. I then installed the WP-Fastest-Cache plug in it popped it up to a 90 with an A rating, so that where's it at right now.

I'm going to look into changing the default image size to fit the theme as presented because it originally was designed to be a full width them with no sidebar. I think that might cure some of the problems or at least hope it will

Again, thanks

Thanks Victor,
I've looked at the gtmetrix.com results and will begin to try to figure how to correct the issues.
What has me confused though, is that the slowness is only on Firefox and not Chrome or IE. Pingdom showed a load time of 2..64 sec.
Do you have any suggestions on how to clear up the situation?

[Harley130]

Oh well, guess I won't use the footer widgets till I can pick another theme that will work

[Harley130]

Anyone got an idea of whats happening?

This might be of some help, it is the process I used to put a full width header image on a site I'm working on.

As a point of interest, If anyone else wants to change the side bar widths, then here is a brief explanation.

How to change Sidebar widths by Arun Pal Singh http://homeforprofits.com/wordpress/how-to-change-sidebar-width-in-your-genesis-child-theme/

It's very basic, but was the nudge in the direction I needed to know.

That's how I found the offending little bugger is with DT-Chrome. Thanks for the reply.

Within 20 min of posting this, I found the culprit "padding" call that was my problem. Only took 4 hours to find it. Checking a stylesheet for an error will make you cross-eyed.

The user name and password above will be active for a few more hours and then I'll kill it.

[Harley130]

Thanks for the reply, evidently I didn't check notify by email of a reply and just saw this.

Thanks for the response Jeremy, site is in development and I'm using the standard NewPro theme.
This is the area I'm experimenting with trying to resolve the widths in css

/* Column Widths and Positions
--------------------------------------------- */

/* Wrapping div for .content and .sidebar-primary */

.content-sidebar-sidebar .content-sidebar-wrap,
.sidebar-content-sidebar .content-sidebar-wrap,
.sidebar-sidebar-content .content-sidebar-wrap {
/*width: 960px;*/
width: 910px;
}

.content-sidebar-sidebar .content-sidebar-wrap {
float: left;
}

.sidebar-content-sidebar .content-sidebar-wrap,
.sidebar-sidebar-content .content-sidebar-wrap {
float: right;
}

/* Content */

.content {
float: right;
width: 778px;
}

.content-sidebar .content,
.content-sidebar-sidebar .content {
border-right: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
float: left;
}

.sidebar-content-sidebar .content {
/* border-left: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
border-right: 1px solid #e3e3e3; */
border-left: 1px solid #1b4269;
border-right: 1px solid#1b4269;
border-top: 1px solid #1b4269;
border-bottom: 1px solid #1b4269;

}

.sidebar-content .content,
.sidebar-sidebar-content .content {

}

.content-sidebar-sidebar .content,
.sidebar-content-sidebar .content,
.sidebar-sidebar-content .content {
width: 600px;
}

.full-width-content .content {
width: 100%;
}

/* Primary Sidebar */

.sidebar-primary {
float: right;
/*width: 360px;*/
width: 310px;
}

.sidebar-content .sidebar-primary,
.sidebar-sidebar-content .sidebar-primary {
float: left;
}

.sidebar-sidebar-content .sidebar-primary {
border-left: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
}

.content-sidebar-sidebar .sidebar-primary {
border-right: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
}

/* Secondary Sidebar */

.sidebar-secondary {
float: left;
font-size: 14px;
font-size: 1.4rem;
/*width: 178px;*/
width: 228px;
}

.content-sidebar-sidebar .sidebar-secondary {
float: right;
}
The changes I've made are below the commented out original settings.

Have you increased the logo area in both your child style.css file and the theme.php file?

[Harley130]

Closing this thread, no suggestions so I'm going another route

[Harley130]

Brad Dalton has a great tutorial on how to increase the size of the image area. May be of some assistance to you:

I know now I can use the post loop to pull the selected post into a listing but haven't been able to figure out how to put them in columns and rows.

Using FireFTP I peeked in and saw that the page in the example above was using the jcarousel.js file and I think displaying on a .php page of some type.

I have access (both dashboard and ftp) to the linked site but can't find anything in the dashboard to lead me in the right direction.

I need help big time.

[Harley130]

Thanks Marcy, I added the !important as you suggested above and it fixed the problem. I've looked through the .css sheets to see if it there is an over ride on the original css and do not see any other reference to the .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu

I am using the Genesis Extender plugin on this site but I couldn't find anything that was affecting .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu in it either.

So, for right now I'm going to stick with your suggested fix and keep looking.

Again, thanks for taking your time and looking through the stylesheet and for your suggested fix.

[Harley130]

I'm having the same problem on my sixteen nine themed site oldrailroadbridge.org

Marcy, when you state making the 240px a smaller number are you suggesting to make the 240px number smaller in the code snippet above, or placing it in the media group code within the smaller screen size snippets?

[Harley130]

Thanks Sridhar, this was what I was looking for to use on the News Pro theme. It worked great on it also.

[Harley130]

Figured it out myself

[Harley130]

I tried to use the code snippet from SusanT's post above but I get the following error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/content/L/i/t/LittleredV/html/dhrphoto/wp-content/themes/landscape/functions.php on line 58
Line 58 is: { echo ‘<div class=”creds”><p>’;

Using with the Landscape theme

Am I missing something?
