RegevParticipant
Is there an how-to guide on creating those kinds of pages yourself? I'd love to have that skill.
P.S where would be a good place to find a good WordPress designer to create those in case it's too overwhelming for me?
Thanks a lot Victor,
really appreciate all your helpRegevParticipantSounds difficult.
But what if I don't want it on the homepage? Say, for example, I want to recreate this page (regevelya.co.il), which is made with Divi, in a separate page by itself on my main site -- is that possible without creating widgetized areas in Php, and by simply using columns etc in the Text mode in WordPress?
And if not - how much would an above-average Genesis designer charge (estimate range) to create one page like that out of text that I provide?
Thanks!
RegevParticipant:O
Can I?! I know HTML, but no CSS unforunately.
Let's say something like that:
https://sofiahotelzanzibar.com
My most recent sales page, built with Divi.
How easily is it to replicate under Genesis?
I'd like to create a multiple-column sales page for my book on my website, and I don't want to use Divi just for this one page. Any already-made layout/template I can use to just insert the words or anything?
RegevParticipantThanks Victor!
I'm not talking about regular landing pages. I'm talking about designs with multiple columns and full-width pictures etc etc, the way I create with Divi. Colourful sales pages that spark with creativity. I'd like to create something like that without shortcakes and plugins, even if it means hiring someone to create the page and put the text in there. How expensive will a page like this be, or how easy will it be to learn to create?

The problem is that I reached a number that works very beautifully for *most images*, but anything smaller (images that can't scale up to 1024) get pulled to the left too much. Isn't there some CSS trickery to solve this?
March 5, 2017 at 5:27 pm in reply to: How to Command a Theme to Always Display Images at a Certain Width? #202524RegevParticipantOk, but what negative margins exactly would you use to keep the images (can be anything from 600px to 1024px wide, which is also the containing div's width) centered nicely?
Thanks again, Victor.
March 5, 2017 at 10:40 am in reply to: Shamelessly Copying Apple's Typography Into No Sidebar #202507RegevParticipantVery interesting. I still don't understand why not just call up a bold version of the font in the Functions.php when possible?
March 5, 2017 at 3:06 am in reply to: How to Command a Theme to Always Display Images at a Certain Width? #202498RegevParticipantThanks Victor! I tried the code but it doesn't work - the image is enlarged, yes, but it isn't centered at all and messes some other elements.
I did find a simpler solution, which is just changing the max-width value here to a higher number:
embed, iframe, img, object, video, .wp-caption { max-width: 100%; }
To allow it to spread nicely and evenly, I then removed the 15% paddings from:
.entry-content { padding-left: 15%; padding-right: 15%; clear: both; }
But the problem is that the text now also extends to 1024 pixels (the 15% from each side brought it down to 717px). Any chance to apply the 15% paddings to the text only so that it gets narrower back to 717px? Even better, to simply remove the 15% paddings to everything media related (images, videos, etc)
Any idea much appreciated.
ThanksMarch 5, 2017 at 12:30 am in reply to: Shamelessly Copying Apple's Typography Into No Sidebar #202493RegevParticipantp.s what do you mean you're not using bold? why don't you simply call up the bold version of the font?
March 5, 2017 at 12:14 am in reply to: Shamelessly Copying Apple's Typography Into No Sidebar #202492RegevParticipantThanks a lot mate.
Now what happens if I call up Myriad Pro? Where would I put my license?
March 4, 2017 at 2:20 pm in reply to: How to Command a Theme to Always Display Images at a Certain Width? #202467RegevParticipantHmmm isn't that a bit too complex? Somebody asked the same question on a non-Genesis theme's forum, somebody replied to him:
The image isn’t wide enough to naturally fill the area you have positioned it within, but you can force the image to fill the space by making it 100% wide, like so:
.post_content img { width: 100%; }
Isn't there a similarly simple solution to simply force all content images in Genesis (specifically No Sidebar) to show at certain width?
March 4, 2017 at 1:40 pm in reply to: Shamelessly Copying Apple's Typography Into No Sidebar #202464RegevParticipantBut if I call up the extra light or extra bold and all those that aren't the usual normal/bold/italic, how do I use them in the copy? Do they automatically render when I use font-weight that is too light or too bold?
March 4, 2017 at 12:57 pm in reply to: Shamelessly Copying Apple's Typography Into No Sidebar #202460RegevParticipantThank you so much.
Does it matter if I include the font weight in the code? For example the default No Sidebar code for fonts is this (full of numbers of font weights):
wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,400italic,700|Oswald:300|Playfair+Display:400,400italic,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
If I simply change it to:
wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
March 4, 2017 at 7:02 am in reply to: Shamelessly Copying Apple's Typography Into No Sidebar #202445RegevParticipantAwesome, thank you so much.
Managed to enlarge the content area, but now how do I call the adobe fonts onto my theme? I see this in my functions file:
wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,400italic,700|Oswald:300|Playfair+Display:400,400italic,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
What do I replace it with?
And how bout PT Sans as a replacement for Myriad? http://joelcrawfordsmith.com/closest-font/font/myriad-pro
March 2, 2017 at 2:48 pm in reply to: Shamelessly Copying Apple's Typography Into No Sidebar #202372RegevParticipant1. Are Adobe fonts considered premium in quality compared to free ones, like Google fonts? In other words, could I replicate that look with a free one without compromising on quality?
2. How do I adjust the sizes, weights and line spacings to match it exactly? Just trial and error? Because No Sidebar is built around % and not absolute amounts like my inspector shows.
3. How do I make the content area a lot wider, for example 890 instead of the default 717? I found no mention of it in the function/stylesheet files.
Thanks a lot pal, appreciate it.
RegevParticipantWe're talking about the big image the is shown by default above every post, right?
RegevParticipantOh, then it's not what I was looking for. The whole idea is to eliminate that sense of "obsoleteness" that old dates give ("3.5 years ago" etc doesn't solve that). If I could change any 1y/o+ comment to "Over a year ago.", or maybe even better - "Over 10 months ago.", that would make the posts much livelier in perception. Anybody has any idea how to do that?
Victor thanks again for the generous willingness to help out.
RegevParticipantHoly @!# thanks Victor! But does this code shoe the time difference? (19 months ago, 7 months ago, etc)? I just want it to show "Over a year ago." So 5 years ago or 15 months ago would look the same. Thanks again, you rock.

Speaking of images,
any idea how to allow content images to show up, say, in 1024 width? I want to keep the content text on 720px, but allow images to take a larger width so that things look more 'alive'.
