Hi Black9Design, I just now tried to follow your tutorial, but I can't get it to work. I initially added the code to the functions.php file and my website completely broke (everything was a blank screen, even my Dashboard). Finally fixed it by mucking around in my cPanel. Now I'm afraid to try anything else. I think I will try to think of another alternative to Genesis. I am extremely disappointed in StudioPress that they removed this critical function from the templates and did not provide a better way for users who are not programmers to add this very important functionality.
Carol, did you ever get a solution to this issue? I also purchased the Lifestyle Pro theme, and the only assistance I received was a webpage link with instructions, but the instructions were all about adding code from Executive Pro to Lifestyle Pro. I don't own Executive Pro either. I don't think we should have to pay $37 for a members only website for a solution to this. Does anyone have a suggestion for adding a Portfolio page? Since the Portfolio was a pretty integral part of the original Lifestyle theme, I would think that some of the moderators or other users could help us add this functionality back to our websites.
I've had some weird problems with this site. I just turned off all of my plugins and the admin bar/edit link still doesn't display. Thanks for your help anyway, I guess I'll just go through the dashboard for edits.
No, I actually don't see the admin bar at the top of the screen either. That's the problem, there's no easy way to edit a page except to go to the dashboard and search for a page. If I could get the admin bar to display that would be fine too.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. I no longer see any settings for a primary menu in the Themes settings. Can you give me some steps to put the primary menu in place and re-add the Search feature?
Oh wait, nevermind I think I found the primary menu setting. Thanks!
I think this is what you're asking about, it's in the first field when I click Simple Edits:
[post_date] By [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]
It's working now. I don't have problems with the site loading slowing, it's the back-end updates for posts and pages that take forever. Actually, the reason my site was down was because I made a change to the functions.php file, saved it, but then the save process evidently timed out and didn't save my changes.
I finally managed to get the site working again and tried again to insert that code. The code is what was causing the internal server error, there is evidently something wrong with the syntax. When I finally figured out how to look at the error logs, the error is listed as:
20131209T132719: scciorg.ipage.com/wp_1212/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /wp-content/themes/lifestyle/functions.php on line 156I just stuck it at the end of the file, should it be in a specific location?
After I initially saw the error, I took out the code and resaved the functions.php file in its original form. When i refreshed the pages they then seemed to work again. But now I'm also seeing in internal server error again. What could I have done to cause this? It's too much of a coincidence that i happen to edit a php file for the first time and the site breaks. This is hosted on iPage and I haven't been real impressed with them, I'm not a programmer so I don't know what else could cause this.
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I finally had time to try this. I didn't have the add_filter line, so I added the code and it created the following error for my entire site:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Nevermind, I figured out the problem. If anyone else has this same problem, I found that one of my tags in the is_page('Page') section had a double quote ( " ) instead of a single quote mark ( ' ). I fixed that and the error disappeared.
Yes I deactivated every single plugin several times, dinked around with every setting I can think of and it still won't work. The Share plugin doesn't work.
I have found several sites with various info about editing .php files to get Facebook/G+ to preview correctly. One fix (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-title-and-thumbnail-not-showing-on-facebook-share) says to edit the header.php file and change meta description in the header.php, but when I look at the Genesis header.php file it says not to edit it under any circumstances.
