Thanks for the response. It never did before yesterday. I don't even know where to check my media queries.
I don't know how to make those adjustments in my media queries. And now, after today's AdRotate update, I have ads stacked on top of each other where there should only be one appearing at a time in dynamic mode.
I think I figured out how to use the Genesis Simple Sidebars to some extent now. I was able to add a Categories dropdown list to my Burr Oak page. However, instead of only showing Burr Oak categories, it shows every category I've created. Now I have to figure out how to customize a category list for each city.
Followed the directions and I couldn't get it to work. I can't even explain what I THINK I'm doing wrong because my brain is so scrambled at this point. It could possibly be not entering the proper ID when creating a new sidebar in the Genesis Simple Sidebars tab. I'm trying to create at least one (but hopefully multiple) sidebars for each category (city) page on my secondary menu.
For instance, I tried creating a Burr Oak sidebar for the Burr Oak category page. Does the sidebar ID need to be the Burr Oak category page ID? The Burr Oak Sidebar shows up on the widget page and is included at the bottom of the list of available sidebars on the right side of the page, but I don't see anything showing up in the sidebar areas on the Burr Oak category page.
In case anyone else was also interested in helping me try and figure this out, the site is: joeinsider.com
Very much appreciated, guys. If not for your help over the last few days I'd be sitting in my office pulling my hair out. I've yet to install the Genesis Simple Plugins, but I'm going to give it a try later today.
By the way, I have a bunch of programs from Genesis that were downloaded to my computer when I purchased and installed the Magazine theme. Where do I find the appropriate files for the Genesis Simple Sidebars? The folders I have are Genesis, Genesis-1, Genesis-Sample and Genesis-Sample-1. For example, there are files within the Genesis folder called sidebar-alt.php and sidebar.php. Are those (or just one of them) what I need? Thanks.
Nice. I will give that a try tonight. I was able to create a secondary menu
of city categories and successfully directed specific content to each. Now
my problem is that one of those category "pages" has a header that I wrote
and none of the others does. I can't figure out how I did. I would like to
be able to add elements to all these category pages like that, as well as
use adrotate and other widgets. Is this impossible because they aren't
actually pages?Ok, Ok, Ok, I understand what you're saying now and I have it working. Each city's news is now showing up on it's own page. Second question: Can I put a category list in a sidebar on each of those city pages that breaks down news by sport?
This is where being a WordPress rookie is really biting me in the ass. I really don't have a clue what you mean, and I apologize. What you're trying to explain is probably pretty basic. ... So I should delete all the links in the dropdown menu under each city?
I created categories for each city already. I think what I'm not able to figure out is what you mean about attaching those to the navigation. Right now I am using those categories in each post but it is sending every story to every city page for some reason.
Yes, each city will have all the same sports. Good to hear I was at least on the right track. I started creating categories for every sport (those were tags before), and I'm also creating subpages for every sport in the dropdown menu of each city, and those seem to be working right (filtering out everything that's not supposed to be there). However, when you click on the page link for every city you still get every piece of content that was on the main page (even ones for other cities). I've since deleted all but one test content piece and I'm creating new ones to see if they're filtered correctly. I'll definitely look into that widget. Thanks.
