Hi Randal,

The Genesis Featured Page Advanced plugin may be just what you're looking for.

Hope this helps!

It looks like your pages 'About,' 'About->Shelli Holland-Handy,' 'Leadership Coaching' and 'Team Development' have the parent set to Home(with the name sample-page). The Parent page is set along the right side as you are editing the page. It's the first item in the Page Attributes box. The Page Attributes box is the second box along the right side, below Publish - depending on your view.

For comparison your pages 'Communications Strategy & Coaching,' and 'Entrepreneurial Coaching' have no parents.

Possibly the Sample Page title was changed to Home and the name left as sample-page?

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply Andrea.

It was confusing to receive emails with offers to grandfather me into the Pro Plus Package before recurring payment start on April 1st. I thought I was already grandfathered as an existing customer. After looking for an email from StudioPress on the new licensing & not finding anything, delving deeper was added to my to-do list for this week.

I love StudioPress and Genesis and thought it was confusing to be asked to re-buy to avoid the new licensing. Admittedly I've been more away from the community over the past year and thought I missed something. Honestly, I was ready to shake my head and as the saying goes... belly up to the bar. It was a relief to investigate today and learn from your reply that as an existing customer, my Pro Plus Package is grandfathered as I had hoped.

Thanks for honoring the current as you make changes for the future!
Best Wishes!

Good Morning tekkentim,
Possibly someone else could assist you with this. That's a bigger job than I can commit current volunteer time for.
Best of luck to you!

I was in a hurry & during my first coffee so... maybe I just typed it and didn't hit Submit. Such a waste, I'm sorry.
Won't get back to it until maybe tonight.

Basically it's the same as the previous answer. You can do what I did.. use Firebug or Chrome Tools to inspect the widths. The total width must remain the same so whatever you add to the sidebar needs to be removed from the content. If you're working with two sidebars, the total still remains the same, you may just distribute the widths differently.

The beauty of using Firebug or Chrome Tools is that you can view your changes live before making them in css. A real timesaver!

Andrea has a great tut on Firebug at http://www.studiopress.com/tips/using-firebug.htm that may help.

Good luck with the style.css. It's not rocket science but can certainly be confusing at times! 🙂 I have found css-tricks.com helpful.

Wow, I replied to this last week and am underwater this week. Let me check where it got posted to, maybe another thread?

[Terry]

Annaka,
I am headed out for the evening and if you can wait will look at it in the morning ( EST US).

I haven't looked, are you running the most recent version of the Luscious theme/WP3.6/Genesis 2.0?
Warm Regards,
Terry

[Terry]

Perfect!

[Terry]

Hi Mark,
It sounds like your problem is solved, fantastic!
Best of Luck & Take Care!
Terry

Sorry you're having a hard time.
I spend a fair amount of time (now) making or scheduling backups, especially during development.
Have gotten burned too many times.
May just be some crazy little thing off.
Best of Luck!

Mark,
Sorry but for some reason, I can't right click and view in Chrome Dev Tools or Firebug, so hard to offer suggestions.

The reason the "tagline" background turned dark and moved could be because your class styling is different or named differently. I can't see any of that so can only guess. When I created the blog post, trying different things I did run into that.
Again guessing, try the second version on my blog post which also moves the "tagline" to genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap.

Let me know how that works.

To make this change requires editing your site's style.css file.

You'll want to edit the style.css to change the width of the sidebar but you'll also have to decrease the width of your content.

Say you want to increase the width of the sidebar to 320px (and decrease the content by the amount of the increase)...

around line 1096 you'll see

.sidebar {
   width: 250px: => change 250 to 320
}

around line 575 you'll see

.sidebar-content #content {
   width: 810px; => change 810 to 740
}

Note that the change may impact your media queries( and responsiveness), so you may want to see how they're impacted.
Lastly, you may need to change any margins or padding to align your content within the new resized widgets.

Hope this helps!

[Terry]

Fantastic, glad it worked for you!

[Terry]

Hi aimee,
Sure, you could add a conditional to test for the page or post or category to the changes in the functions.php. Lots of ways to skin that cat.

The silly example below tests for home page (is_home()), a category of red(in_category()), a certain page (is_page()) with different descriptions for all. It works for the specific category ids and post/page ids I used.

function child_seo_site_description() {

	if ( is_home() ) {

			echo '<h2 class="site-description">Home Page description here</h2>';

	} elseif (in_category('003')) {

			echo '<h2 class="site-description">Red Page description here</h2>';

	} elseif (is_page('13')) {

			echo '<h2 class="site-description">Test 1 Page description here</h2>';

	} else {
    
    	echo '<h2 class="site-description">Insert new description here</h2>';
	}
}

Hope this helps!

It looks looks like you're using the Agency Theme. I checked out your site and it looks like you may be working on it? No nav, just header background, share bar and voice mail.

Not seeing the problem, here's a general thought...
The issue may be related to the different resolution of the different screens and how your site responds. Agency is a responsive theme and uses media queries in the style.css file to help reposition areas of the page properly depending on the resolution of the screen.

Best of luck with you site.

[Terry]

Please post a link to your site.

[Terry]

I think in the theme you're using, that area isn't a page title but the site description or tagline.

A blog post I did the other day may help here .

Hope this helps!

[Terry]

Excellent mleithwood!
Have a great day!

[Terry]

Sorry Chris, I totally missed that. Too much good coffee yesterday.

You should just be able to target the css, something like...

.nav-secondary .current-post-ancestor a {
color: #222; (I always pick something crazy like red to test)
}

(instead of .current-post-ancestor could try .current-post-parent, .current-menu-ancestor, .current-menu-parent)

Let me know if that works for you. I tested it on one of my blogs and it did the trick.
TGIF!

[Terry]

A couple options I use are jigoshop and woocommerce. Both have Genesis Connect plugins but...

The answer depends on how much ecommerce do you need?
