Problem solved. Thanks James!

Hey Victor Font and/or James Chai:

After successfully adding two more sections to my front-page.php in Altitude pro ("solid-section" = front-page-8 and "image-section" = front-page-9), I then set out to add the appropriate bookmarks to the page url's in the site navigation, e.g. "#front-page-2"

I notice that the bookmarks for the pre-existing sections work great, i.e. "#front-page-2". In other words, somewhere in the code there is some padding built in to accommodate the site navigation bar. When I click the navigation link for "section 2" the page scrolls just the right amount so that none of that section is hidden behinds the nav bar.

But when I click the navigation link for section 8 (the one I added), the page just scrolls all the way to the top. No padding is margin-top or provided, so some of this section gets hidden behind the nav bar.

Where in the theme's code do I add this? CSS? Appreciate the help.

Boom! That was the last piece of the puzzle. Success! Thanks Victor. 🙂

Bump. Trying to get the last piece of the puzzle: know which javascript file to modify and how. JChai? Victor Font? Anybody?

Thanks, Jeff.

[jhguynn]

Victor Font or JChai: thanks for the guidance so far. "You have to modify the JS file that adds the images to the inline styles". Could you specify which js file, and where is the code that I need to modify and how? I had a look around and was unsuccessful in identifying any code that adds the existing images to the inline styles, let alone being able to add my new images. Thanks.

Hello Victor: Thanks for pointing me to the javascript. If you could point me a little closer to the file and edits I need to make, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[jhguynn]

Bump. Jchai? I posted a link to my demo site with admin login credentials. See above. Thanks, Jeff.

[jhguynn]

Jchai: here you go, have at it. FYI: the image bg-9 is blue. You'll know it when the image appears.

Pound away on the code all you like. This is a demo site. Be sure to tell me how you do it so I can repeat the trick on my real site.

Thanks for your help!

Jchai:

Thanks for your help, I'm getting closer. I had already added the genesis_widget_area code for front-page-8 (solid-section) and front-page-9 (image-section), but I had neglected to modify the conditionals (i.e. "...if ( is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-1' )...). I added this for widget areas front-page-8 and front-page-9.

But even after saving, clearing image cache, using ctrl + f5 to clear scripts, and refreshing the page...I get no change, i.e. the bg-9 background image I have in the images folder does not appear.

Anything else I might be missing? Happy to take the site live so I can share.

[jhguynn]

Thank you Brad for pointing me to your paid membership site. I'm sure it has great value.

Anybody else (who knows their way around Altitude Pro) want to help me out with this?

[jhguynn]

I figured out at least one thing I need to edit in the customize.php file. I needed to register the additional image required to serve as background image in the extra widget area (see '9'):

function altitude_customizer_register( $wp_customize ) {

	$images = apply_filters( 'altitude_images', array( '1', '3', '5', '7', '9' ) );

	$wp_customize->add_section(
		'altitude-settings', array(
			'description' => __( 'Use the included default images or personalize your site by uploading your own images.<br /><br />The default images are <strong>1600 pixels wide and 1050 pixels tall</strong>.', 'altitude-pro' ),
			'title'       => __( 'Front Page Background Images', 'altitude-pro' ),
			'priority'    => 35,
		)
	);

=======

When I visit the "customize" secion of "appearance" controls, the bg-9 image I added to the the folder shows up, but when I visit frontpage.php in my browser, it's not there. I refreshed my cache.

Anybody know what I should do next?

[jhguynn]

Jchai: I'm having no problem locating the folder where the background images are stored. My problem is I added an additional widget area to frontpage.php, and I want to define the background image for that new widget area. Brad suggested the correct file to modify would be customize.php. But I looked at that file, and I'm not seeing it.

[jhguynn]

Brad: thanks for chiming in.

The customize --> header image edit did the trick. I'm so used to just coding it manually, I didn't notice that the theme had this built in.

However, I'm not seeing where in the customize.php file the background images are being added to the respective widget areas. Can you enlighten me a bit about this? The background images provided in the theme's image folder are bg-1.jpg, bg-2.jpg, bg-3.jpg, and bg-4.jpg. I want to be able to add bg-5.jpg to the extra widget area I added.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

[jhguynn]

Yup, that did it. In fact I found 2 sets of transition effects: one for links, another for buttons. Problem solved.

[jhguynn]

Victor: Boom! That was it. for some reason this code was commented out in my child theme functions.php for Minimim Pro 3.0.1. I wonder why?

[jhguynn]

Yup, thought of that already. Whatever anomaly is causing the "header" option to be missing from appearance --> header has also removed it from those choices as well, i.e. "customize --> header". Not to be found.

Update: I did a clean install of Genesis / Minimum Pro on a live site with no plugins, and it works fine. The header option is right where it should be.

FYI: at my original site, where I find this problem, I already tried deactivating all the plugins. No deal. The problem persists.

samuel.doualle: You might want to resubmit your question as a new post.

[jhguynn]

I eventually answered my own question. The conflict was with a video player plugin (Simple Video Pro). When I re-positioned the SVP settings in page/post view to be above the settings for Yoast - rather then below (by manually dragging the SVP group of settings to the new position) - problem solved. No idea why this makes a difference, but it does.

[jhguynn]

InAdvertent - did you hear back about your question yet? i.e. whether any plans exist to convert Stretch theme to HTML 5?

[jhguynn]

That's very odd! What css attribute is assigned to that white box (when you use Firebug)? Curious if that'd shed any light on this...
