Thanks Ren,

That is a relief......

I've got the website locked down to prevent spidering......so not able to share the link.

I have copied and saved all the changes so I can apply them after reloading the stylesheet...

Will let you know what happens.
Thanks again
Greg

Thanks genwrock,

Will try it out.....
Just a question though - I saw somewhere that the column classes are already set up in Genesis themes. If this is the case, doI still need to add the php code?

Also came across this bit of code but have tried it and can't get it to work....even though the tutorial talks about the alignment of 3 images:

<br style=”clear: both;” />

Please give me your thoughts....

Apologies for wasting your time...

This is the existing webpage.....you will see the 3 images on top of each other on the right:

By the way - how do you add a screenshot or image into this thread?

Any ideas on how to do this properly?

On another thread I was told that the idea of extending like this is not good:
padding-bottom: 5000px;
margin-bottom: -5000px;

What is the right way to achieve this???

Please help...

Hi Selena,

Thanks for your input.....really is appreciated.

At least now I understand what is causing the problem and how to go about fixing it.
Can these edits be made via Appearance > Editor?

Just not sure of this - "You can then use “max-width” or “min-width” to add upper and low limits."
-is that something you must do or is it optional?

Thanks
Greg

Thanks for taking the time to explain Henrik....

Ok completely starting over is not an option for me....
From what you have explained, the hard settings for content and sidebar widths are causing the problem.

Questions
- what is the best practice for setting content and sidebar width other than the way I have done it?

- is the Genesis sample theme not responsive?

I appreciate your input...

Best regards
Greg

Hello there,

I searched the forum and found this thread which had a similar problem:

The code used was:

#sidebar {
	background-color: #EFEFEF;
	width: 25%;
	overflow: hidden;
	margin-bottom: -99999px;
	padding-bottom: 99999px;
	position:relative;
	z-index:2; // in front of content
	}

#footer-widgets .wrap {
	font-size: 13px;
	line-height: 20px;
	text-align: center;
	border: 0;
	padding: 0;
	background-color: #76666E;
	max-height: 20px;
	position:relative;
	z-index:9; // on top
}

Please can someone shed light on the "position" and "z-index" parameters....particularly the "z-index" one.

Where do you get those values?

The thread mentioning this is - http://www.studiopress.community/topic/sidebar-background-color-full-height/

Appreciate your help!!!

Hi gvanaart,

Thanks.....am using the Genesis Sample Theme on this website....

Is the number 5000 px a random number?

Using Inspect Element this looks like it could be the right bit of code to change?

.sidebar .widget {
background-color: #969697;
border-radius: none;
margin-bottom: 4rem;
padding: 4rem;
}

The question is that those values (4rem) affect more than just the bottom of the sidebar.
So what should be changed to keep the existing values and only change the bottom values for the padding and margin?

Regards
Greg

[LaunchPad777]

Please help.....I'm not sure which css is responsible for the problem...

Appreciate your time...

Greg

[LaunchPad777]

Thanks guys,

When I look at the Editor all the css seems to be in order....but I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination.

How do you go about identifying the css that is causing the problem?

Which css code is likely to cause this problem so that I can avoid making the same mistake in future?

Regards
Greg

Thanks gcampton,

I first removed the code at the end of the stylesheet and then searched for and made changes as you suggested.
Unfortunately this didn't have the desired result.

I then checked the code again using Inspect Element and then searched and made the changes here:

.entry-content a {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
color: #10073C;
}

This was successful.

The question is - why didn't this work when I placed the code at the end of the stylesheet in the beginning? (see beginning post).

Best regards
Greg

Thanks Porter....

I didn't need to make changes to the Nav Menu after all.....

[LaunchPad777]

Anyone have any ideas?

[LaunchPad777]

Hi there,

Sorry I seem to have had a caching problem....couldn't see the changes taking effect.

However, the change to the second batch of code above has also caused changes to the text in the Nav Menu which I didn't want.

How do I change the Nav Menu text so that it is not affected by the links change?

Appreciate your assistance...

Regards
Greg

Hi Carolyn,

Thanks for the link to that tutorial...

I am targetting that exact CSS code but it is not affecting the change.

Any ideas?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the information - I didn't realise that there were so many themes available for ecommerce.

I have spent some time researching and the choices for Woocommerece additional components and also for payment gateways that will operate in Nigeria is quite daunting.

Does anyone have any experience with 2Checkout and with Cybersource? (both appear to cater for Nigerian clients)

Also, for a clothing and accessory store, which Woocommerce additional modules do you suggest I include in the proposal?
The store will sell products globally.

Any further insight will be appreciated,

Best regards
Greg
