Hi Brad,

Thank you very much for getting back to me. I went to the tutorial but I have to pay to access it?

Hi Brad,

Thanks for getting back to me. So no go when using the amplified widget, hey? The only reason I'm using that widget is to have pagination so that readers can move to more recent posts from the homepage. Is there another way to do that without using this widget?

And if I change back to the standard Genesis Featured Widget to display posts on my home page, will the bubbles display then anyway? I guess I can just go ahead and test that, but can you provide some more guidance about the conditional I should be removing?

This is what I have in my functions.php file right now:

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );

function sp_post_info_filter( $post_info ) {
$num_comments = get_comments_number();
$comments_link = get_comments_link();
$bubble = "<span class='bubble'>".$num_comments."</span>";
$post_info = 'By [post_author_posts_link] on [post_date] '.$bubble.'';

return $post_info;

}

Basically, I would like to style my homepage with comment bubbles to encourage more interaction. If there is another way to achieve this with my most recent posts on the homepage, I'd be happy to consider alternatives if you have any suggestions.

Many thanks in advance,

Jess

Thank you Christoph! Much appreciated!

Thanks a lot for your reply, Ryan. I tried this code, but unfortunately it didn't work. Could the fact that I have Disqus installed be complicating things?

Many, many thanks!

Thank you Davinder!

Thank you for all the suggestions, Tom. A combo of Fix My Feed RSS Repair and Featured Images in RSS w/ Size and Position seems to have done the trick. Cheers!

And just like that, it seems to have resolved itself. Very bizarre but glad it's fixed. Thanks for all your help in working through it. 🙂

[nomad_jess]

Thanks a million! 🙂

[nomad_jess]

Thanks so much, Porter!

This code seems to have done the trick:

.nav-secondary .genesis-nav-menu li a {
font-family: 'Amatic SC';
font-size: 22px;
font-weight: 400;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

I'll definitely look at the white color coding too. Cheers for that! 🙂

[nomad_jess]

Thank you so much, Lauren!

That worked perfectly!

[nomad_jess]

Thank you, Tom! That's perfect! 🙂

[nomad_jess]

I know, it's so bizarre! Unfortunately none of those codes worked, which is strange because, as you said, they technically should. Any other ideas?

You'll totally have to let us know about your site! 🙂

Greetings from Belgrade airport!

Hi Porter,

Thanks so much. I tried both of these and unfortunately it still remained as before with only the lower section changed.

However, then I tried adding code for .home-middle as well (despite both of these sections being in the home-bottom section) and it seems to have done the trick!

So now the code I have now is:

.home-bottom p {
font-weight: 300;
}

.home-middle p {
font-weight: 300;
}

Thanks so much! Wouldn't have been able to figure it out without you!

The only things that remains bold now are the headings and the location widget in the sidebar, seemingly another side effect of the Mailchimp widget that used to be there. Even though I have moved the form out of the sidebar, it still seems to be affected. Interestingly, only the homepage is affected plus the dedicated subscribe page where we have another form (you can find it by clicking on the 'Latest from the road' menu item in the main nav). Basically it's affecting pages where Mailchimp forms are located. If you click on any post, you will see how I actually want the sidebar to look - unbolded widget headings and the location widget that says 'We're currently in Split, Croatia' 'View our travel itinerary' is all normally weighted text except for 'Split, Croatia'.

If you have any ideas as to how to solve this final piece of the puzzle, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you so very much!

Kind regards,

Jess

Thank you very much, Porter! This seems to have worked for the second part of the section, but not the first for some reason. Any idea as to how I might be able to achieve the same result for the 'latest' section?

[nomad_jess]

Hi Porter,

Thanks for your response. Yeah, that's what I've been struggling with. As you said, I obviously need bold to be bold when I want it to be. It has something to do with the Mailchimp form, I'm sure of it. It does the same thing wherever I put it, in the sidebar too, everything goes bold below it. Did the same in our previous theme as well.

If you have any idea how to resolve this, I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Many thanks,

Jess

Thank you, Lauren! That's perfect!

I'm now just wanting to reduce the size and unbold the menus items to the right so they don't stand out as much.

I've been trying with the following code, but the menu items have remained unaffected.

.nav-secondary .genesis-nav-menu li {
font-family: 'Amatic SC';
font-size: 10px;
float: right;
font-weight: 400;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jess

This issue has somehow magically resolved itself. Whatever happened, it now displays correctly. Thanks all for your input. Really appreciate it.

[nomad_jess]

This issue has now been resolved. Many thanks!

[nomad_jess]

Thanks so much, Neil! This worked a treat!

Really appreciate your help.

Cheers,

Good thing for lucky guesses! 😉

Many thanks once again and good night (well, morning here). 🙂
