Hmmm... I'm just getting a landing page for ads. Is your site down?

[ryandonsullivan]

Hey There,

Do you have a slider in place there now? It doesn't look like there's anything in that widget area now.

You also might want to take a look at the Genesis Responsive Slider plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-responsive-slider/

[ryandonsullivan]

Can you send a link to the site? You may have conflicting CSS somewhere.

[ryandonsullivan]

Did you import the font as directed in the tutorial I linked to above? This tutorial

Look specifically at the section that says "How to implement Google Web Fonts"

[ryandonsullivan]

The nav doesn't use any header tags. You'll want take a look at line 425 in your style.css file.

It looks like this

<code>

#nav li a {
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
margin: 0 5px 0 0;
padding: 7px 13px 7px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
}

</code>

But you'll want to declare your new font (after using @import at the top of the same file. See this tutorial for more info on that) with an extra line there. Like this:

<code>

#nav li a {
font-family:  "Google Font Name", Arial, sans-serif;
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
 margin: 0 5px 0 0;
    padding: 7px 13px 7px;
    position: relative;
    text-decoration: none;
}

</code>

Hi Guillermina,

Pasting this into your functions.php file should do the trick:


add_filter( 'genesis_breadcrumb_args', 'child_breadcrumb_args' );
/**
* Amend breadcrumb arguments.
*
* @author Gary Jones
*
* @param array $args Default breadcrumb arguments
* @return array Amended breadcrumb arguments
*/
function child_breadcrumb_args( $args ) {
$args['home'] = 'Inicio';
$args['labels']['prefix'] = 'Tu estas aquí: ';
return $args;
}

I'm wondering if it's a browser zoom setting or something like that? I just double-checked the critical CSS and it's all fine, and in Firefox it looks good to me too. Maybe try clearing your firefox browser cache or installing a fresh copy of firefox? Or maybe you can look at it from another computer with Firefox? All looks good on this end! 🙂

Move Footer Titles To The Left

Edit your style.css and replace


#footer-widgets .widget-area h4 {
color: #333;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0 0 10px 12px;
}


With

#footer-widgets .widget-area h4 {
color: #333;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0 0 10px 0px;
}


Add a border above the footer
Replace this:


#footer-widgets {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px #000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
box-shadow: 0 1px 20px #006baf;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 960px;
}


With this:

#footer-widgets {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px #000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
box-shadow: 0 1px 20px #006baf;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 960px;
border-top: 3px solid #DDD;
}


The only difference in the second example is that I added the last line. You can change the border color by changing #DDD to whatever color you'd like.

Hope that helps!

Hey John,

It looks like it's 960px to me. Screenshot.

Maybe you got it resolved?

[ryandonsullivan]

There is a good amount of WordPress jargon there.

Here are a few screenshots I put together to help clarify:

To view both of these screens go to Appearance --> Menus

Screen Options Tab and Custom CSS Class checkbox

Last Menu item CSS Class Text Box

Essentially, all that following the directions does is makes it so there's no line to the right of the last button on the navigation. Just gives it a more "balanced" look 🙂

Hope that helps!

Just to gather some more info, are you adding the images to WP-Cycle by going to Media --> WP-Cycle in your WordPress dashboard and adding the images there?

It also looks like you have WP Super Cache enabled. So maybe the changes are happening, but they're just not showing yet? Try deleting your cache (Settings --> WP Super Cache --> Delete Cache) and see if the changes to WP Cycle show up then.

If that doesn't work we can dig deeper 🙂

I use WAMP for local development. Comes with phpMyAdmin, Apache, and mySQL all packaged together. Makes setting up a WP site quick and easy. It's for Windows.

If you use a Mac, MAMP is the equivalent.

This is a pretty good tutorial for getting started (some of the screenshots might be a little dated but it'll give you what you want). http://sixrevisions.com/web-development/install-wordpress-on-your-computer-using-wampserver/

Looks like Riavon beat me to it 🙂

[ryandonsullivan]

Hi Tom,

This should be a pretty simple fix.

Just go to Appearance --> Editor in WordPress, then scroll down to where you see #title (around line 200).

Then change this:


#title {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 30px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: uppercase;
}


To this:

#title {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 30px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: none;
}


Note: the only thing I changed was text-transform: uppercase to text-transform: none.

Then just click save and you'll see your site title looking the way you want!

I've been stagnant since the new forum launch. Here's my commitment to getting started again (just replied to 3 or 4) :).

[ryandonsullivan]

Huh, not sure what happened with the code there. Let's try this again:





[ryandonsullivan]

If you're referring to the widget that says "Recents Posts", this should do the trick.

Replace this in your style.css file

.widget-area ul li {
background: url(http://northernlightsgothic.com/wp-content/themes/prose/images/sidebar-list.png) no-repeat top left;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #DDD;
margin: 0 0 5px;
padding: 0 0 5px 16px;
word-wrap: break-word;
}


With this:

.widget-area ul li {
border-bottom: 1px dotted #DDD;
margin: 0 0 5px;
padding: 0 0 5px;
word-wrap: break-word;
}


[ryandonsullivan]

Is this a custom post type that you added manually?

You may just need to add the 'excerpts' to the 'supports' section of your CPT array.

For example from the WordPress codex:


add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
register_post_type( 'acme_product',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Products' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Product' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
''supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'trackbacks', 'custom-fields', 'comments', 'revisions', 'page-attributes', 'genesis-seo' ),
)
);
}


If your code doesn't have the 'excerpt' explicitly defined then Genesis will fall back to the default auto-generated ones.

If you're adding your custom post type with a plugin or some other way, then pretty much everything above is useless 😉

[ryandonsullivan]

I haven't used that specific plugin, but you could try a different plugin and see if you get the same results.

I've used this plugin in the past and been really happy with it: Really simple Facebook Twitter share.

Or you could try the JetPack plugin for WordPress. It has integrated sharing buttons. Something to try anyway...

It looks like there's an inline image style that's throwing things off a bit. If you look at that page in HTML view, you'll see this code for your image:





Remove the style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px;" code and your image should be right on!
