Thks Anitac. Actually just this site right now - that's enough learning 😉

Hence unsure why Pingdom shows duplicate homepage and css URLs loading ?

[MM]

Yes, duplicates of the following URLs exist:

 

1) http://mikemetcalfe.co

2) http://mikemetcalfe.co/wp-content/themes/eleven40/style.css?ver=1.9.2

 

Plus I think duplicate google fonts requests exist

[MM]

Thks Ryan. Will check out the WP forums for answers.

I've learned via Pingdom that many files are also loading twice.

Thanks Brad. Great instructions.  And for any others reading...

The only tweak I had to make was to delete the below code line

echo '</div><!-- end .before-loop -->';

With that line present, the blog loop rolled into the sidebar.

Without it, the normal home / blog sidebar should remain.

Cheers!

Hi Brad

Your code which successfully registers the Widget in Appearance > Widgets, though nothing displaying before loop when testing.

Would the home.php issue influence that? Otherwise, open to all ideas?

 

[MM]

Thks Brad.

Tried these options. Regardless, the below image File URLs are still accessible (i.e. in Google Image Search by clicking 'View Original Image'.

Have had Yoast activated a long time, yet that hasn't work either. Can't see any plugin conflicts. Any idea why the above URLs are still displayed?

Cheers

Hi Brad, strange. Doesn't seem to work. Thanks regardless.

[MM]

Thks WP Speak. Other problems solved, but can't seem to solve 2. Changed to 999 but videos still scroll over. Ideas? Cheers

Wasn't working on ipad / iphone. Now it is 😉

[MM]

Genius Chris, it's looking good on most devices. Thank you again!

[MM]

Thks Chris,

Now I'm stumped. Here's what I see on ipad,iphone and shrunken browsers (all):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ohc3gztk8b3liw9/Screen%20Shot%202013-05-31%20at%2020.00.49.png

When on small screens / windows, it seems the normal black bar divides in 2, and creates white space between.

Trying to

1) eliminate the white space between the text logo section (which displays in centre) and next black box with links

2) figure out why on small screens, the welcome text widget area (i.e. a blog about) is starting under the black menu

Thanks for your help 😉

Hi Aaron, perfecto.

Any idea why videos showing above menu? i.e. http://mikemetcalfe.co/angel-investment-startup-legals-popular-funding-clauses/

Thanks again!

[MM]

Hi Chris

No worries, thks again. Made those CSS edits but nothing changed unfortunately ??

I assume from above that the edits were meant for the main, not the responsive, css

Thks! Mike

[MM]

Hi Chris,

Have experimented a lot. The Menu, once on an ipad or iphone size screen, splits and there's a white gap (which I'm trying to remove).

Current responsive css is:

.menu-primary,
.menu-secondary,
#header ul.menu,
#header .widget-area,
#title-area {
float: none;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}

#header .searchform {
float: center;
}

#header ul.menu {
background: url(images/bg-pattern.png);
float: left;
}

.menu-primary li,
.menu-secondary li,
#header ul.menu li {
display: inline-block;
float: none;
}

.menu-primary a,
.menu-secondary a,
#header .menu a {
padding: 10px;
}

.menu li.right {
display: none;
}

You should be able to replicate on a browser I guess. Any idea how to remove the white gap?

Thanks!

[MM]

Thks Anitac.

a) Instead of full surgery, I think using the genesis_before_loop area might suit best, and having a horizontal bar or small image displaying the 3 blog categories, so using can quickly switch between them (or better yet, if it can auto-rotate / slide to display next category after 5 secs, great!)

b) Been experimenting and already have a home featured widget setup. But, it displays nothing (because home.php is saved as home.txt - because of a page 2/3 grid loop display issue earlier). Strangely, when changing home.txt back to home.php, entire site goes white (not error page, just white).

Any ideas why the B error exists and how to potentially achieve A?

Thks!

[MM]

Thanks Anitac!

[MM]

Thks Pixel Frau. I see it's as simple as commenting out.

When you say... Genesis –> Custom Code –> Custom CSS... which file or location do you mean

cheers

[MM]

Thanks Pixel Frau -

 

1) On http://mikemetcalfe.co/e-store/   - trying to remove extra text and double line section with e-store.

And have it display like http://mikemetcalfe.co/e-store/cart/

 

2) On http://mikemetcalfe.co - trying to 'fix' the welcome text widget so it stays, and other stuff scrolls up.

 

Cheers

[MM]

Self-research - seems this might need a custom field, that goes in the post info section, but differs per post (ie. info can be inserted in a custom field when creating the post or page).

Anyone know how to do that? If that's correct

[MM]

Thks Brad.

Tried changing the hook (ie. to genesis_loop OR loop_start). Genesis Before Loop or Loop appears to be the correct position.

But when slider is in correct position, the post title (wanting it to be under slider) now appears far right in the primary sidebar.

And the sidebar then ends (i.e. other posts display full width titles and content).

Trying to keep existing primary sidebar (right), show a featured post slider first, then show featured posts via scrolling as they appear.

What am I missing here or need to tweak to solve this?

Cheers
