MemberI thought of that, but I wasn't sure what to link TO. I could sort of game the system and link to a category page, then add the categories as children under that via the Menu screen. I was just thinking there was an obvious way to do it that I was missing.
Thanks Brad!

MemberThanks Tom. That worked! Woohoo!!
Appreciate it:).

MemberThanks Anita,
I'll turn it off and check that stuff now.
Cheers!
[update] I failed:-P. I tried adding both a top margin and a top border to .content (in style.css) and neither did the trick. I did try clearing caches and checking in another browser. No dice. What do you think?
Thanks!

MemberOK, as is typical, I had to ask here on the forum before I discovered the problem. I started by deactivating plugins - beginning with the most recent. And that turned out to be the culprit. At the very least, deactivating it fixed the problem. The plugin in question is: AVH Extended Categories Widgets. I still am not sure why it only affected that one post. But for now, I'm leaving it deactivated.
I hope this helps someone else who may have the same issue.
Cheers!

MemberThanks Anita!
I installed it and have figured out some of the basics. But it isn't easy to figure out how to make it do what it SAYS it can do. Is there a forum somewhere? Or maybe you've got enough experience with it?
At the moment, specifically, I can't seem to get it to do 1 thing: Depth Selection - i.e. only show the top level (non-child) categories. I created a child category and enabled "Show hierarchy" in the widget. But I can't find an option (check box, etc.) anywhere to select to only show the top level, which the documentation says you can do. From the FAQ in the plugin: "Here is how it works: Say you have 5 top level categories and each top level has a number of children. You could manually select all the Top Level categories you want to show but now you can do the following:
You select to display all categories, select to Show hierarchy and select how many levels you want to show, in this case Top level only."Any tips?
Either way, you've already helped me solve the original problem of picking and choosing which categories to show. I just saw all the other stuff this plugin can do and wanted to do more:).
Thanks again!

MemberThanks Anita! I will almost certainly be doing that in the coming weeks.
Cheers!

MemberThanks! I thought as much.

MemberI am also having this problem since upgrading to WP 3.9, and I also went searching through the wordpress.org forums to no avail. The folks who have solve their issues all seem to have some plugin or another that I do not have. So it sounds like it could be a conflict with a plugin. But there doesn't seem to be one plugin that is doing it.
Caching plugins were mentioned, but clearing W3Total Cache does not fix the issue.
I would start disabling plugins to find the culprit, but those who have solved the issue also stated that simply disabling a plugin never solved it. They had to completely delete the plugin. I am REALLY hoping I don't have to started completely deleting all my plugins to solve this.
I am very much hoping that someone here will discover a root-cause whose solution is universal.
If I stumble on a fix, I'll post back here. But in the mean time, I hope someone else who is much smarter and more code-savvy than I can discover and post the fix here.
Thanks.

MemberThanks Susan,
I promise I will say when things are resolved from now on;). I actually don't know how this one got resolved. But there is no problem with post titles showing up on the excerpts on the blog page any longer. And I didn't use that plugin for it. Anyway, thanks again!

MemberSusan,
Yes I did, but thanks for following up! I actually don't even remember now how:-P. I do know Anita helped me through it though. But it's great now.
Cheers!

MemberUpdate. Under Menus, I went to "Manage Locations" and selected my nav menu for "Primary Navigation Menu." THAT seems to have fixed the main issue, which was to put the nav onto the front page.
The Widget screen, however, still does not show Header Right as a choice.
Cheers,
Ken

MemberThanks Anita and TDogger! I'll check out Beautiful Pro. Anita, I looked closely at Dagmar and it just seems too much about the band stuff and selling merch and having a gallery and all that. It does look fantastic for that, but I just have too many other projects that someone might look me up for.
Cheers!

MemberBrad,
That's what I was going to do, but it wasn't on my page edit screen for some reason. I just double-checked and it is not there. However, I do have the Yoast SEO plugin and it is on the "Advanced" tab for that. Wasn't obvious. I guess the Genesis SEO options go away when the Yoast plugin is activated.
Cheers,
Ken

MemberThanks Anita - done:).

MemberThanks guys. I installed the baw plugin. I tried to create a new menu and put the login/out item into it as per the instructions. But nothing showed up in the bar. However, I was able to get it to work by putting the shortcode into a text widget in the utility bar right.
Davinder, is there a trick to getting the link to work within a WordPress menu?
Thanks again.
Ken
KenTheriot
MemberI will, Davinder. Thanks!
It still seems odd to me, though, that there is a perfectly good login/logout link in the "Meta" widget, which contains multiple functions - Login, RSS, and WordPress.org links. Shouldn't there be a widget with JUST the login/logout link?
Oh well. I'll try the plugin and see how that works.
Thanks again.

MemberUPDATE: I was able to correct the problem by adding the following to my style.css file:
.site-header { background: url(/wp-content/themes/eleven40-pro/images/texture.png); min-height: 65px; position: absolute; width: 100%; z-index: 999; }
I changed "position" to "absolute" where it had been "fixed" before.
But I'm still wondering why this changed (or even if it DID change). I'm pretty sure that it was not fixed before.

MemberThat was it, Andrea. Yes. Thanks!

MemberI implemented the code in that tutorial. But when I put test text ("text") into the "Right Utility Bar," it sows up on the left side. Same with the Left Utility Bar (so that one works correctly). I don't suppose you know why that would be? Here are the two bits of code:
/** Register Utility Bar Widget Areas. */ genesis_register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'utility-bar-left', 'name' => __( 'Utility Bar Left', 'theme-prefix' ), 'description' => __( 'This is the left utility bar above the header.', 'theme-prefix' ), ) ); genesis_register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'utility-bar-right', 'name' => __( 'Utility Bar Right', 'theme-prefix' ), 'description' => __( 'This is the right utility bar above the header.', 'theme-prefix' ), ) );
Then
add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'utility_bar' ); /** * Add utility bar above header. * * @author Carrie Dils * @copyright Copyright (c) 2013, Carrie Dils * @license GPL-2.0+ */ function utility_bar() { echo '<div class="utility-bar"><div class="wrap">'; genesis_widget_area( 'utility-bar-left', array( 'before' => '<div class="utility-bar-left">', 'after' => '</div>', ) ); genesis_widget_area( 'utility-bar-right', array( 'before' => '<div class="utility-bar-right">', 'after' => '</div>', ) ); echo '</div></div>'; }
Thanks.
Ken
