Hi Julia 🙂

Thank you so much for replying.

The Step 3 CSS code i placed at the bottom of my stylesheet for lifestyle pro.
I had not activated my cache plugin, however this morning I have woken up and the header image is showing up now (i must get that re-done looks awful lol 😉 ) Which means the hosting must have caching going on i suspect.

Thank you so much for your help!!

For others that may read this post in the future, the two links I left above to work the header image where the easiest instructions to follow, that did work (just to save you time )

Regards
Julie

Hi All

Scrap that! Light bulb moment 😉 I changed the colour through the Theme Colours section in the style sheet. It changed a few things but all good, happier with the darker colour and saves mucking around for just one section.

Happy New Year everyone!

Jules

WOO HOOO finally got it to work!!! I fell across this in the forum http://www.studiopress.community/topic/how-do-you-create-a-new-widget-area-on-the-homepage/ from there i went to http://www.briangardner.com/welcome-text-widget/ Then copied the entire code in Step 4. Now i just have to alter it to suit what i am looking for 🙂

For anyone else looking at this thread for help, you could follow the same path that Doak has written out as i had the first steps correct but missing where and the entire code to use/place in the last step 🙂 totally missed what was being meant.

Thank you muchly to Doak for helping out and to the lovely anitac who helped out in the thread posted above.

Regards

Hi Doak,

Thank you for popping back to answer. Not sure I understand by your "Copying Blindly" comment ? I do have this in the coding now

#home-full-image {
width: 960px;
color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto 0;
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
overflow: hidden;
}

So I take it i need to fiddle with the padding. Also and for the life of me I cannot recall how, but i was sure there was another way to add in a new widget or indeed use that area through a plugin (but could be wrong and thinking of something else)

Yes i want to align the new widget center above the 3 widgets home page in the Metric theme.  🙂

Thank you

[julesonline]

Yes Doak, wanted the middle image centered and will be 960x83px. Perhaps i placed the code in the wrong spot as well in style.css ?? I named it as you suggested 🙂 home full image

Hello Anitac,

Thank you so much. That has fixed the issue... nearly 🙂 I would like the dark blue to flow down to the bottom  of the sub nav bar (so the subnav bar is sitting on top of the blue area) What coding would I need to alter to create this please?

Thank you so much!

Regards

Julie 🙂

Hello Anitac 🙂

Apologies would help if I wrote it corrrectly!! http://www.smallbusinessmarketingfirm.com.au

Hi Brad 🙂

Thank you so much!!!! I just had a fiddle with one SIMPLE section from the information from your site and BINGO! In the home.php I also changed 'feature_image_size' => 'thumbnail',  (featured to thumbnail) and of course looking at your information it dawned on  me after I emailed (apologies for that 🙂 ) to un-tick the featured image under Content Archives!

Finally can finish this site.. your brilliant! Have an awesome weekend Brad..

Regards

Julie 🙂

Brad

Found the answer here http://www.studiopress.community/topic/generate-theme-post-excerpt-not-working/  and even the image is showing left hand side but when you click the post title or continue reading the featured image then shows up on the full post "page". Would you happen to know how to stop it doing that please? Must be in that same coding in the home.php file ... maybe?

<?php

/** Add Generate Box after header **/
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'generate_box', 10 );
function generate_box() {

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'generate-box' ) ) {
echo '<div id="generate-box"><div class="wrap">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'generate-box' );
echo '</div><!-- end .wrap --></div><!-- end #generate-box -->';
}

}

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'child_grid_loop_helper' );
/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop **/
function child_grid_loop_helper() {

if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'generate_post_image', 5 );
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 2,
'feature_image_size' => 'featured',
'feature_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 300,
'grid_image_size' => 'grid',
'grid_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 0,
'more' => __( 'Continue reading...', 'genesis' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6,
) );
} else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}

}

genesis();

Hi Brad,

Thats all done but still shows the full post. Is it that I only have one post publish ? Does it alter when two or more posts are published?

Thank you

Hi Anitac

Thank you so much for coming back and responding. I worked out the code should of just gone in a text box placed into the Generate widget and with fiddling of the template code was able to have the lead box placed in the area the default generate box sat.

Have an awesome day Anitac

Hi Anitac

Thank you, where abouts do i put this code piece please? I just tried to add it into the simple hooks box with the lead capture code but it didn't work, so guessing I placed it into the wrong area. I also have both boxes ticked within the simple hooks area.

 

[julesonline]

Update; Finally worked all the coding out just have the top box on every page i need to stop now 🙂

Hi

Yes i understand, thank you for jumping in and offering to help. I did find some information regarding changing the css coding in the aweber form/html code but cannot get it to work correctly. Given up and have found someone on fivver that works with aweber forms creating the horizontal label layout.

Now all i need to work on is the top box and changing that layout style. Off to search the forum 🙂

Jules

[julesonline]

Hi

Yes i loaded the background image into aweber and worked great but of course cannot get the label boxes to line up horizontally. Hence the big issue. Would rather do it that way than fiddle with that coding i pasted above.
