I figured there was something I was missing. Display widgets is a great plugin (especially over Widget Logic).

The Title Toggle plugin allows you to remove all page titles by default in its settings, or on an individual per-page basis. Could you clarify what you mean by Page Title Widget? I don't have experience with that theme, but in general if you're just trying to remove the page title, that plugin will do it.

Hi,

Decor comes as a mobile responsive theme. Any tweaks to the responsive design would be done in CSS. Did you have a specific question or change?

[Megan Gray]

I'd love to take a look, but that link 404s 🙂

[Megan Gray]

Neither of those links work for me--I just see a link to follow you on Twitter. Is that what you see?

[Megan Gray]

Hey Todd, both of those links 404 for me.

 

[Megan Gray]

I'll stick around to take a look, but at the moment I don't see anything as a header/logo or menu in there. Is that right? Any chance you could create a temporary username/login for me to take a look around?

[Megan Gray]

Could you try adding a border to #inner and adjusting the padding some?

Just as an example to get you started
#inner {
border: 1px solid;
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 40px;
padding-top: 2.5rem;
padding: 10px;
}

[Megan Gray]

Try something like this:

 

 
/* Header
------------------------------------------------------------ */

#header {
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}

#title-area {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 45%;
}

#title {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 36px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.25;
margin: 0 0 5px;
}

#title a,
#title a:hover {
color: #222;
display: block;
padding: 27px 0 0;
text-decoration: none;
}

#header .widget-area {
float: right;
width: 55%;
}

/* Image Header - Partial Width
------------------------------------------------------------ */

.header-image #title-area,
.header-image #title,
.header-image #title a {
display: block;
float: left;
height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
text-indent: -9999px;
width: 45%;
}
/*** Pete CSS ***/
.header-image #title {
width: 470px;
}
.header-image #title a {
width: 470px;
}

Not sure I understand the second part of your question, but to change the color of the top-level nav item on rollover, you'll want to change the hex codes in this part of your CSS file:
.menu-primary li:hover a,
.menu-primary li a:hover,
.menu-secondary li a:hover,
.menu-secondary li:hover a,
#header .menu li a:hover,
#header .menu li:hover a {
background-color: #;
color: #fff;
}

Have you tried using Firebug or Chrome Inspect Element to experiment with changing your CSS values on the fly? It can be really helpful in experimenting with changes without committing them to your live site.

I can't see anything but a link to your Twitter account on your homepage. If you're using a featured posts widget, though, be sure to select the featured image- align left (or none) option, select the desired featured image size, and be sure to assign a featured image to the post in question.

Hi Vinnie,

 

Try downloading this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-featured-widget-amplified/. If you already have a plugin to add manual excerpts to pages, this featured page widget will allow you to select the manual excerpt rather than just the content limit.

 

You could also just add this code to your functions.php file, and note that this is also where you'd control the "Read More" type text.

 

function custom_excerpt($text) { // custom 'read more' link
if (strpos($text, '[...]')) {
$excerpt = strip_tags(str_replace('[...]', '... <a href="'.get_permalink().'">read more...</a>', $text), "<a>");
} else {
$excerpt = '<p>' . $text . '<br/><a href="'.get_permalink().'">Read more...</a></p>';
}
return $excerpt;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'custom_excerpt');
?>

He did. It's: http://vanloonenterprises.com/ and the password is...password. 🙂

Ah, yes! That was the key for another I helped today. Glad it's sorted!

[Megan Gray]

That's a bit complicated with this particular theme since it doesn't have an inner container you could apply a white background to, with a larger container wrapping around it to which you'd apply the polka dot background. Would require a bit of coding and I'm not sure what your comfort level is. Probably why it doesn't have the convenient Appearance > Background feature.

A short cut if you're more comfortable with Photoshop/Design is to fake this with your background image. Your background image would have something like 1000 pixels of white (accounting for the 900px width of the content and adding 50 px of padding on either side) and then your repeating polka dot background on both sides. It would be, just as an example, 1200px or more wide by 100px high and repeat vertically.

But keep in mind that one of the features of this this is alternating background colors for posts on the homepage.

Looking at your code and have a few questions.

Did you create your custom menu, then add the Custom Menu widget to the Header Right widget area, then select this custom menu from the drop down
Did you change anything in your CSS?
Have you tried deleting the custom menu widget from the header right widget area, and starting over?
Do you have Fancy Dropdowns enabled in  Genesis theme settings?
Have you tested the menu without the dropdowns?

Thanks! I'll stay posted to see if I can help.

Hi there,

Is there a way we can view your site? I'd need to take a look, which I can't do in maintenance mode.

Thanks!

[Megan Gray]

The bottom margin of your entry content paragraph is set to 25px.

.entry-content p {
margin: 0 0 25px;
}

Change it to something like this, for example:

.entry-content p {
margin: 0 0 15px;
}

Of course, play around with it in Firebug or a similar tool first to find what you like, then change your CSS file.

Hi, just starting with the basics here, so forgive me while I get up to speed. When I open the images in new tabs, to view them outside of the slider, your uploads display like this:

http://www.eatingforreal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/kalechips-600x320.jpg
http://www.eatingforreal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/cajun-quinoa-600x320.jpg
http://www.eatingforreal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/blueberry-spinach-smoothie-600x320.jpg

While they are cropped to the correct dimensions, they don't seem to be rotated properly outside of the slider, right?

Be sure to also set the slider dimensions to be 600px x 320px in the Slider Settings.

[Megan Gray]

Try replacing this:
#header .genesis-nav-menu {
float: right;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-top: 0.625rem;
width: auto;
}
With this:
#header .genesis-nav-menu {

clear: none;

float: right;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-top: 0.625rem;
width: auto;
}
