Thank you very much indeed Anita - I will check into all of that.

Any ideas what might be causing that last one?

[neilc]

No worries. I discovered Dambuster plugin which fixes it.

EDIT: So the main thing I want to solve is how to apply Kreativ Pro's "Page-Builder Template" to the static home page.

I've duplicated the home page to home2 see: https://www.yourtechdepartment.co.uk/home2 That is what it should look like and what it does look like when the theme's page builder template is working.

[neilc]

Thanks. Makes sense as there is indeed a columns plugin installed back when the site was first built

Could you point to me to resources on how to implement columns in these theme without using that plugin?

Thanks again

[neilc]

Thanks.

The unclosed em tag was in the slider text and that was doing it.

[neilc]

Thanks I'll take a look

Wordpress pages have a password option anyway though? Or am I missing your point?

[neilc]

I think I've answered it myself.

I've just been wrestling with this and it does seem to be an automatically generated inline style to match the screen size.

You can override inline styles using !important. So in style.css I've added the line height: 500px !important;

.front-page-1 {
display: table;
margin-top: 90px;
overflow: hidden;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 500px !important;
}

OK I've got one method that answers most of this. I've used the "amr shortcode any widget" plugin which creates a novel widget area into which plugin widgets can be dragged like any other sidebar but with the added feature that this widget area can be displayed in the content area of any page or post.

So in to get the design I want I can set the layout to full width content, add content/images to the page as far down as I want it full width, then add column classes and in the appropriate column insert the shortcode for the widget.

The effect is full width content followed by 2/3 width content + 1/2 width sidebar.

Only just trying it out but seems to work.

[neilc]

That might work.

Given that I need to use this layout for a a number of pages. How to manage the content on each, different page?

Obviously the top full width bit is handles by WP's page system anyway - each page has its own content and that's displayed. But how about the content in the widget areas below? How do I have that different on each page? Is there a good way of doing this? I wondering if it's possible to select a post/page to display in a widget area that is dependent on a tag, post/page number or similar?

[neilc]

Thx

When I say "full width" I'm not asking about edge-to-edge. What I'm asking is about the best way of going about getting pages (for my various services etc) that are full width (in the sense of Genesis page layouts being "full width", "content/sidebar", "sidebar/content") at the top and then having a side bar after a bit of content.

I'm trying to figure out whether to add a widget area for the full width bit above a standard content/sidebar layout but then I need different content in that area for each page.

[neilc]

Oh yes. Why would I forget that?! Thanks.

re: your second point - any pointers how to do that?

[neilc]

Solved - writing the problem out revealed the solution to me!

[neilc]

Thanks Tom

I doubt svg is a valid file format for that.

What is the need for svg over the usual pngs and jpgs etc?

[neilc]

SVG files are scalable vector graphics and whilst various browers have varying support it's not a good choice of file format for a logo.

If you suspect the image path is wrong then try an absolute path instead of a relative one. You can look up this path in the Media Library section. If that works then you know you need to look into your relative path.

I don't know these theme but most of the Genesis themes have the ability to select an image in the Header section. Does this theme not have that?

[neilc]

I should add that I don't want the line under the picture either

[neilc]

Don't worry. Solved it. Thx.

[neilc]

This doesn't work for me using Genesis 2.0 and its accompanying Genesis Sample theme.

Both page and post titles appear as before?
