Haha I think I answered my own question as soon as I hit the "Send" button.

My solution (just in case anyone else wants to do this) was to
1. go to the BOOK page - keep all that information
2. copy the information from the PRODUCT page onto the BOOK page
3. at the bottom of the BOOK page, change BUTTON 1 to "Contact seller", and in the url for button 1 type in mailto:[email protected].
Thanks, Leanne

Thanks so much Lynne. Working beautifully now!

Thank you so much to all of you for your assistance. Its certainly been a learning curve for me! After going through and optimising absolutely everything on the website (background size, plugins etc), I finally rang the hosting company GoDaddy. They openly admitted upfront that they are doing some maintenance on the server responsible, and that it would indeed be causing the slowness in the website.

A pity because the site has just launched a week ago and my client has been happily promoting it, only to find that people have to wait inordinate amounts of time to access it. Good news though, is that its not my fault, and the problem should be rectified shortly.

Thanks again

It seems the text is not meant to show on mobile devices, which is a great pity. My solution - make the photo with the text embedded in it (Photoshop), big enough to read on mobile devices.

Thanks again braddalton - you are a lifesaver 🙂

[leannemorrison]

Thanks so much for that braddalton. It worked fine, but I ended up going back to a static image in the end, as I wanted to keep the spacing between the individual photos, and some mobile formats were squashing them up together. Oh well, simple is good!
Thanks for your help, Leanne

[leannemorrison]

Awesome. Thanks braddalton - just the thing. Only problem is I can't get the individual gallery images to link to the pages I want. There does not seem to be a way to link the images. Any suggestions on how to do this please?

Thanks, Leanne

Thank you very much for your assistance Sridhar. I really appreciate it.

OK thanks I found it, I was going through what came out on the email I received rather than looking for the code shown above on this page (it had lots of additional characters in it).

That removed the site tagline, but also the menu. I attached the menu to the Primary Navigation as it is too wide to fit next to the logo.

Any thoughts please?

[leannemorrison]

Thanks for that info Sridhar, however I could not find that script in the functions .php file. Is it possible you were looking at Minimum instead of Minimum Pro?

The only script I can find in the functions.php file regarding the minimum_site_tagline is this below

//* Add the site tagline section
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_site_tagline');
function minimum_site_tagline() {

printf( '<div %s>', genesis_attr( 'site-tagline' ) );
genesis_structural_wrap( 'site-tagline' );

printf( '<div %s>', genesis_attr( 'site-tagline-left' ) );
printf( '<p %s>%s</p>', genesis_attr( 'site-description' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo( 'description' ) ) );
echo '</div>';

printf( '<div %s>', genesis_attr( 'site-tagline-right' ) );
genesis_widget_area( 'site-tagline-right' );
echo '</div>';

genesis_structural_wrap( 'site-tagline', 'close' );
echo '</div>';

}

Thanks so much nutsandbolts - I have never come across rem before, and that's obviously why when I made the changes to the padding 60px, they did not show up. I will have to look more into rem to find out what they are about!
I really appreciate your help

5 Gold stars to you Dave! That was the problem exactly! I also emailed Studiopress Support, and they emailed back with the same answer. Such an easy fix, but the answer was not written down anywhere that I could find. First time I have come across it, but as always a lesson learned is one that you will never forget 🙂

Hope this post helps others out in the future 🙂

Thanks so much again - you have no idea how relieved I am!
Cheers

Hi David, thanks for your reply.

The issue is that I have not set a featured image, or done anything to the page. The layout for some reason is like the homepage that comes with the template. I cant get rid of the featured image (i.e. same image that is on my custom homepage) or get the posts to stop displaying in a 3 column wide widget with [read more...].

I simply want a plain page with all my posts (full text) running down the page, and spreading right across the page.
I have made a page "News", selected the Blog template at the side of the page, set it up in Settings as the Blog page,

This is really frustrating. Is it possible that the layout is hard coded into one of the files such as the archive-portfolio.php? The intital layout of the template is to have the blog on the homepage.

Many thanks - all advice will be very much appreciated
Cheers
Leanne

thanks so much anitac and ramseyp - I really appreciate your help. I used ramseyp's instructions and they worked well (sorry anitac, I couldnt find the instructions for the "home page only". One thing though, I haven't made the home page image a "featured image" as it made it sit at the top of the page under the menu (see http://www.launcestonhairdresser.com.au), and by making it unfeatured, I was able to place text both above and below it. Will this cause a problem?

thanks again, leanne

Hi kylehufford, I didn't find a solution to the problem unfortunately.  I contacted the Studiopress helpdesk and got the response that there are issues with Android phones and fancy dropdowns, and that there was no immediate solution on the horizon.  Consequently I lost my client, along with 3 months worth of hard work and customisation.  They needed the website to be totally mobile responsive as they are a technology company.

I am really disappointed with this, but I guess that with all the different platforms available and software changes/updates that there is always going to be something that won't work properly at any given time.

Like you I did not have enough experience/knowledge to play around with the technical side of things as suggested by  jstuartj.  Hopefully for you there may be someone in this forum who can assist you with this.  Unfortunately too late for me.

Issue has been resolved, thanks for everyones help

Issue has been sorted, thanks for your help

Hi Susan, yes I am still using the same theme, but have managed to sort the issue out thanks 🙂

[leannemorrison]

I built a client site using Production theme and Genesis v1.8.2 a couple of months ago, and it has fancy dropdowns.

I migrated the site to the clients site on Saturday 12 January using Genesis 1.9.1 and even though the fancy dropdowns box is ticked, it is not working.  Client is none too impressed, as it does not look the same as their test site did 🙂

I would love to find a rapid response to this issue please, as it is impacting on their mobile responsive site.

Thanks

Leanne
