July 22, 2013 at 1:19 pm in reply to: My structural wraps are neither structured nor wrapping #51886RobinMember
I don't know if it will fix the issue you're having, but on an older SP site I did, all of the wraps have a height: ###px in addition to the width and margin. So I'd guess that maybe adding that will make the wraps show, but if it will fix the small screen thing, who knows?
Maybe also try adding margin: 0 auto; to the #footer-widgets, not just the wrap. Even though that one is full width, it may still make a difference. (I'm wondering if the area is "falling off" the smaller screens somehow?)

RobinMemberI have a similar situation. What I did was change the slug on each person's entry to be their last name and let the query args sort by the slug. The full query args reads:
`post_type=missionaries&orderby=name&order=ASC&nopaging=true`
(It's a custom post type and I wanted it to show them all on one page--that's the extra code. But the relevant part is the orderby=name.) HTH

RobinMemberAssociate Theme disables the three column layout in the functions.php file. Look at line 14-17 in this file, which reads:
`
/** Unregister 3-column site layouts */
genesis_unregister_layout( 'content-sidebar-sidebar' );
genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-sidebar-content' );
genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-content-sidebar' );`You'll want to delete one or all of those lines to get those layouts back. You'll also need to add in the appropriate CSS to get the new sidebar width (plus change the width of your primary sidebar/content) to account for the new sidebar. HTH

RobinMemberNo matter what I do to swap out the brackets, it's not letting me. You set up a div for the image. Mine has
`padding: 0px 20px 20px 0px; float: left`
and then the link target is:
`*|RSSITEM:URL|*` wrapped around `*|RSSITEM:IMAGE|*`
...and then on with the content of your email.

RobinMembereluviis, try this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-rss-images/
I forget how I stumbled on it but was having some issues with how MC was translating WP images so did some googling and found it. Basically what I had to to was add this to my email at the beginning:
`
In my WP settings for the plugin, I have medium selected, and then everything except for enclosure tag checked. Selecting a different size will change what you want to do with styling the div but hopefully that's a start. HTH

May 16, 2013 at 12:37 pm in reply to: Genesis Responsive Slider has images only showing on the left #41241RobinMemberDid you upload the photos before you installed/activated/set up the slider? It sets up and generates its own image sizes based on the settings, and if you are using pictures that were uploaded before you configured the slider, it doesn't have the sizes it needs, even if the original images were plenty big. HTH

RobinMemberIt's a list style being applied to your footer widget lists. It is currently (line 1371 in your style.css):
`
#footer-widgets .widget-area ul li {
list-style-image: url(images/bg-li-footer.png);
}`Change it to:
`
#footer-widgets .widget-area ul li {
list-style: none;
}`This will remove the arrows from any lists in your footer widgets--not an issue now but FYI if you decide to put a list in one of them. HTH

RobinMemberLook at this section at line 791 in your style.css:
`
#content h1 {
font-size: 24px;
margin: 0 0 10px 0;
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
border-bottom: 2px solid #483936;
text-align: left;
}`
Change the padding line to something like `padding: 10px 0;` which will add some space to the top of the h1 as well as the bottom. HTH

RobinMemberThis slider works with the featured images and excerpts from the pages or posts that you tell it to use (either the most recent, or by ID number). If you need more control over your slider, I would recommend looking at Soliloquy. If you go to the WordPress.org plugin directory, there is a free version of it so you can try it before you buy. It is very user friendly.

April 29, 2013 at 11:41 am in reply to: CSS or HTML? How to change the line spacing in a quote. #38439RobinMemberYou're adding in extra HTML which is making your life more difficult. You might try using the theme's default blockquote styling, which would mean removing all of the span markup and writing your quote like this in the text editor:
`
As you might imagine the real cost is the damage caused to our most intimate relationships.
`
Then if you want to adjust the line height, whether it shows as bold or not, the color, etc. you would adjust it all in CSS. HTH

RobinMemberJust to clarify: not inside the div for the last column, it needs to be outside the column div, so (for example) right above your next heading or paragraph. HTH

RobinMemberThis is my opinion, so it may or may not be helpful, but I would say no, you do not need FeedBurner. I think it was great for setting up easy RSS emails, but MailChimp is so much better for those. The default feed is fine--Feedburner was OK for kind of keeping track of your subscribers there, but I don't know that the numbers were really very accurate.
My understanding is that Feedburner isn't being killed, but no one can build applications from it anymore...it will continue to serve up the feed just fine, but I'm recommending that my clients and people I'm responsible for move away from it.
But as I said, I think that if you already have MailChimp set up for emails, and feed reader people can use the regular feed, you're good. HTH

RobinMemberCheck your RSS merge tags and make sure they are for the full content, not just the excerpt (I think the default RSS email has the excerpt tag in it). Here is a sample of a simple RSS email campaign I've used and it does send the full content:
`
*|RSSITEMS:|*
*|RSSITEM:TITLE|*
*|RSSITEM:CONTENT_FULL|*
Read in browser »
*|RSSITEM:TWITTER|* *|RSSITEM:LIKE|*
*|END:RSSITEMS|*
`
I would also check the settings for your feed in WordPress and make sure the feed is sending out the full article, not just the excerpt--although I pulled it up in feedly and it looks like it's sending the full thing, so my guess is the merge tags. HTH

RobinMemberTry this, but carefully (I'd make a backup of your style.css in case you need to do a quick swapout if this doesn't work the way you want it to):
At line 500 in your style.css, edit it to be something like this:
`#content {
padding: 0 40px 40px;
padding: 0 2.5rem 2.5rem;
}`
(Right now it's just padding the bottom of the content--this will add it to the sides as well, but not the top.)
That's going to make everything too wide to fit across, so you also need to go to line 395 and mess with that percentage, something like this:
`.content-sidebar #content, .sidebar-content #content {
width: 62.277778%;
}`
I just did this quickly with the Chrome developer tools and it looked all right. You may want to check it with that or Firebug before you change your actual files. HTH

RobinMemberI'd look at the Genesis eNews Extended plugin. He doesn't list Mad Mimi as a service specifically but does say that pretty much anything should work. (And there is a link to the developer's site; you may be able to get help directly if there is an issue) HTH

RobinMemberWell, most of that is related to the slider, so if you won't ever use it, you should be able to delete all of it. It won't hurt to leave it in though because most of it's going to kick in only if the slider is present. The main thing for what you want to do is in that first section. Take out everything except this:
#home-slider {
margin: 0 0 20px;
width: 100%;
}
And you should have it. HTH

RobinMemberTo make items translucent, you'll want to add
opacity: .8
to whatever you want to make translucent. (.8 would equal 80%, so do whatever you think works. Here's the w3schools page on opacity. Good luck!

RobinMemberTry adding this to your style.css:
.socialmedia-buttons.smw_left img {
box-shadow: none;
}
That seemed to work for me.As for the opacity question, there are a lot of layers involved in just the featured top section; you'd have to adjust the opacity on each one to make it happen. And with the intense background image you have for the site, I wouldn't do it, myself. ($.02) But you can go through and try adding opacity rules to each piece of it with firebug or something and see if you want to commit.

RobinMemberGo to Genesis>SEO settings in your admin. Click the checkbox next to "Add name to title on inner pages?" and you should have it. HTH

RobinMemberIn your style.css, starting at line 492, you want to remove everything in that section except the margin and width to get ride of the radius and shadow.
I don't understand what you are asking about the menu background color? Do you mean that you don't want the black button effect on the menu items? If that is the case, look at the block starting at line 316. Leave the color: #fff; rule but everything else creates that button look. HTH
