No offence taken, lol...

If that is in fact the case I will be careful to present the facts in a more accurate way to my clients. I've never sold a theme as a line item, only as part of a package price, but I may have inferred the package price included it.

Thanks for pointing that out. It is still a great "closing the deal" feature that clients see as a nice cost saving, Studiopress support or not.

Well I guess we will agree to disagree on this. I do not see theme documentation as a "support" function.

Hey Victor,

That surprises me really. One of the reasons you buy the developer "pro plus" memberships is to resell your clients the themes, but it is difficult to see why Studiopress would hold back the documentation, which in fact the client will have paid for. Well at least that is how I see it. They buy the theme from us, they get the theme and the docs...

Anyway, I suppose I will end up doing what you suggest, copy every page and make up my own documentation. I guess I will not be making any profit off this sale.

Thanks for the answer Victor, I really appreciate it.

I will not be marking it as resolved however.

Cheers

Super! Thanks a lot Brad - that was what I wanted to confirm.

Now back to trying to solve the pagination problem.

Hey Brad,

Well 2 reasons I suppose.

First this is strictly self training, I want to understand how this is suppose to work.

And two, if I understand the solution you linked, it only adds the new post type "games" to the current genesis loop, it does not allow you to customize the loop output, is that correct? What I am after is two different layouts, one layout for all the usual blog posts and a totally different layout for the "books" custom posts, and I think that would not be the case with your example, or am I missing something? ( could be! I often do... lol... )

But really I was just looking for someone here to confirm one way or the other if creating a new archive template page by simply creating a file called archive-books.php and then give it a template name /* Template Name: Archive Book Template */ was all that I needed to do to get my custom post type "book" to display in its own loop on its own page?

Cheers,

Rick

Hi Brad,

Its on a local XAMPP instance.

I'll copy and paste the template page here in hopes that might be of help, but I can push the whole thing out to a DO droplet if necessary.

Thanks much for taking a look!

Hi Victor, thanks for the reply. I had the same thought about the media queries. I am surprised however about the lack of themes with support for a more complex widget structure for inner pages. It seems to me this would be a feature you would use all the time.

Thank you Victor, your code works great! I really appreciate your help.

I had to play around quite a little bit to get the wp_enqueue_scripts working, but I learned a few new things.
( always a bonus )
