^^ Exactly @CeeKing! We can log into ftp to FIX a mistake, but shouldn't have to to make basic changes like color and font!

[krystyn]

If the reason is because people are crashing their sites by editing that's silly...it's just as easy to make the same edits and crash your site via ftp?

 

 

[krystyn]

@CeeKing, no I don't. I hadn't logged in in 2-3 days. I think the last thing I had done was in the css editor.

 

I followed the link and while I understand ftp, it sure is nice to be able to do it within wordpress..and if I do break something, I know how to go back and fix it. It's like 10 more steps to do it via ftp!

 

[krystyn]

I've put in a ticket to them as well. I think Synthesis must have deactivated something?

[krystyn]

Thank you! I searched and didn't see a post. I sure hope it's temporary...it's a lot easier to edit within WP and then go to ftp if I HAVE to! Ugh.

[krystyn]

Thank you! That would be awesome. I didn't think of putting the navigation menu on a widget as an option, too.

I'll also move those around tonight, too as I'm headed out!

[krystyn]

Thank you, Greg, I went the second route because I always seem to goof moving the "divs"

 

I commented out

overflow: hidden (in the #inner) section,

And, since I didn't have a #sidebar, I applied the following to .sidebar

position: relative;

top: -50px;

 

Thank you!

[krystyn]

Yes, it's the perfect spot, but it displays at the bottom of the page on all mobile units because the sidebar is forced underneath all of the posts.

 

[krystyn]

Thanks, Susan. We just decided to remove the arrows.

[krystyn]

using the genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area also forces the "header" down to the bottom because of the mobile responsiveness of the theme...I wonder if I should just make sure to use a mobile plugin? Or if there is another work around?

[krystyn]

Thank you! I definitely have to do it before the sidebar (either hook or header widget right), because if I put it in the sidebar, it goes to the bottom on mobile responsive themes.

[krystyn]

I don't know..it's super strange. I cleared my cache, and I can see it fine in firefox and when I go to "inspect the element" in chrome, it pops up, too...I've never had anything like this happen before.

 

I just noticed when in the dashboard, and I look at the background preview in genesis, the white isn't showing at all (and it doesn't matter if it's left, right or center).

 

I guess as long as everybody else can see it, it's not really a problem, but I figure if it's like this for me, somebody else will have the same issue.

[krystyn]

Yes, the white line should extend all the way as it is apart of the background, instead I can only see a little white line underneath the dots and then a little green before the navigation.

 

Here's how I'm seeing it.

And how I should see it.

[krystyn]

Found this on the old forum:

 

The simplest way to do that in blissful would be to add this to the home.php file before genesis()

PHP Code:
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );


Then use two Genesis Featured Post widgets in the home top sidebar for your content. In the first, select to show the full content and 1 post, in the second select to show the excerpt or limit the content, and however many excerpts as you want, but make sure you select an offset of 1, which will skip the first post you are already showing.

[krystyn]

I think I this has to do with the home.php folder. That's the one that makes the excerpts on the home page, but I'm not sure how to edit it....maybe just delete that all the way and then use the featured widget?

[krystyn]

Hmmmm...I added a template and used it on a page.

I think I got all of the smart quotes from copying it, but I'm getting an error when I try to view the page.

Any glaring issues?

<?php
/**
* Template Name: Categories
*/

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' ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 2,
'feature_image_size' => 0,
'feature_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 'grid-thumbnail',
'grid_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 0,
'more' => __( '[Continue reading...]', 'genesis' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'cat => '1' //enter your category IDs here separated by commas in ' '
) );
} else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}
}

/** Remove the post meta function for front page only **/
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
genesis();

[krystyn]

I guess it's time to learn how to create a custom template. Thanks.

[krystyn]

I'm soooo glad I found this post. Which of the theme use the grid loop? Is there a good way to find this out?

I'm assuming this same code would work for any template I would want to create? Like a custom category page?

[krystyn]

Thank you! I thought I had fixed that previously! That's what I get for thinking.

[krystyn]

Thanks! I seriously looked in the folder and couldn't see them! (Must check glasses RX!)
