Thanks for your helpful explanation, Bill. However I wonder why, if that section of code is for one specific form (ID=1), then why would I need to use the !important distinction which is used alternatively for all instances? Why couldn't I assign the text color for just that button individually like I do the button color and border characteristics?

Moving on, though, I do plan on using multiple forms and implementing "best practices" as you mention. If that's the case, would my code be the exact same just without the "_1" at the end?

Lastly, I just tested my updated form and got to the final submission screen and saw that the "Continue" button was gray, so I guess it somehow is called differently within the CSS than the other type=button. Ideally, I'd like the "Next" buttons one colors, the "Previous" buttons a different color, and the "Continue" button a separate color (or the "Next" and "Continue" buttons the same color). Not sure if this is feasible...

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you so much. I had to clear the zone on my CDN. I had cleared my browser cache and the W3TC plugin cache, but somehow the CDN wasn't picking it up. I should have thought to check that earlier!

The only thing now is figuring out how to change the color of the "Next" and "Previous" text in my buttons. I have this:

#gform_wrapper_1 input[type=button] {
background-color: #ababab;
color: #fff;
}

But that color line doesn't seem to have any effect no matter what hex value I put in there.

Thanks, Bill. Unfortunately that didn't seem to do the trick, either. Still looking at the same default form....

It's in the Gravity Forms section

Thanks, Robin - I gave it a shot and cleared caches, but no change....

Thanks for your help, anitac. This is a step in the right direction, but I'd like to reduce the remaining distance by about 50%. I think there's another section in there that I'd like to do away with altogether, but not sure how. The featured widget section, perhaps?

[mborger]

Thank you. I tried that but it seemed to move the whole body up instead of just reducing the space between video and footer widgets.

[mborger]

Hi. Anyone have thoughts on this? My footer menu is so boring right now - I really need to figure out another way to make it pop. I appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

[mborger]

This is great - thank you SO much! This was super helpful and I'm really getting there now.

Now I need to figure out how, if it's possible, to replace the parachuter graphic, graphic of the text "The #1 App..." and iPhone graphic from http://funthingsapp.com above the header. Can these be placed in a separate section in between the current header and the container? Can the phone graphic overlap the header above it like it does currently?

Same with my biker guy in the lower right - not sure how to get him in there.

Thank you again 🙂

That was just what I needed - Thank you!

AgentPress 2.0

[mborger]

I'll chime in with this because I have the same issue.

http://michaelborger.com/dev

My background image drops off on both sides and the bottom doesn't show.

It's supposed to look more like: http://funthingsapp.com/

Any ideas? Thank you.

[mborger]

I decided to just plow ahead and try to re-create it from scratch using AgentPress 2.0 (because I already own it).

http://michaelborger.com/dev

I have a start, but I'm running into some issues, such as:

How do I eliminate the container box so that it looks more like http://funthingsapp.com (which has no container)? That would also mean eliminating the white featured left/right boxes below it, and taking the text I have in the footer widgets and somehow creating a separate footer widget.

Then I can move onto fixing the background image size/position.

Any ideas? Thank you.

[mborger]

I agree - I told them I was not happy with what they did. Now I'm looking at re-building it myself from scratch (sigh). (parent = Genesis itself).

URLS is funthingsapp.com

The home page you see is our splash page. We will have 3-4 other pages - nothing fancy. They key thing is to keep the layout you see as much as possible.

I told them to pick the best child theme for our design and they came up with Stretch. They said they made changes to Genesis itself because there was no header and footer in Stretch.

Now, I wonder if there's a better theme than Stretch completely (I already own AgentPress) that will let me keep the layout. I'm willing to buy a different theme if that will be a better choice, but I need to get this up and running ASAP.

Maybe using AgentPress with a video in the homepage feature area, the red buttons in the property search widget on the right and just a taller header to accommodate our existing graphic layout??

I'm open to ideas. Thank you.

Well I'm going to be playing with it for a while, so I wouldn't consider anything I have up there in the near term to be a finished product. I'm basically trying to mimic what I see at the bottom of every post on blog.hubspot.com because they're all about inbound marketing and conversion. Their end-of-post call to action is really one big graphic that links to a landing page, which is what I plan on doing as well. What I have up there is temporary.

That was it, Brad - thanks again!

cfb -- Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not familiar with that plugin, but I think what Brad has set up for me will work out just fine because I can control multiple posts at once by simply changing categories. If I ever want to try a different call to action, i.e. different color, message or e-book cover, I can change it for all the posts in the same category at once instead of post by post. But I do appreciate your suggestion.

So I tried creating my second post footer, this one for foreclosures, replacing all the 'sell-house-one' of the above code with 'foreclosure-one' and pasting just below the 'sell' code in functions.php. I created a foreclosure-one category and assigned one post to it. The problem is -- I don't see the widget at all in the widget screen. Do I need to make another change to the code for each successive/different one I implement?

[mborger]

Awesome - this is what I've been looking for. I didn't know it created a widget, so I never thought to look there. I guess all I have to do is repeat the previous steps and change the titles in the code (and create the matching category) to set up my other triggers.

Ok, I'm going to play with this for a week or so and try to get it all in order (on vacation in Japan, so I'm online in short bursts only for the next few days).

Thanks for all your help!

[mborger]

Ok - updated that line. What I mean by the question is: where do I place the chunk of code for the actual content I've designed and wish to place at the bottom of all seller posts, i.e. the text/img/table/href code that I want to be applied whenever a post is assigned to this category?

Right now all I have is a trigger if a post is in the 'sell-house-one' category, but nowhere do I have yet what is actually posted when that trigger is called -- my actual fancy designed illustration and call to action.

[mborger]

Thanks for helping me through this. Can it be done via category instead of tag?

And do I still need to add a custom field? Where does my actual code for my block go for my design?
