Hi Summer
Thanks for the reply. The customizations were minimal and 99% CSS, that's why Im surprised at the issues.
All the inner pages are displaying with no issues including sidebars, footer widgets etc
The issue is the Home Page Layout - this is made up of theme specific widgeted areas as per here. I havent made any customizations to these, but they no longer display correctly
I will identify all difference in the theme files for a clean install of original Epik and my live version and go back through the HTML5 reference guides
What is confusing is whether I need to change the home.php and/or functions .php for these Home Page Widgets
* Display widget content for the "Home Feature" section.
*
*/
function epik_home_loop_helper_welcome() {if ( is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-wide' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-3' ) ) {
echo '<div id="welcome"><div class="wrap">';
genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-wide', array(
'before' => '<div class="welcome-wide">',
) );echo '<div id="welcome-features">';
genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-1', array(
'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-1">',
) );genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-2', array(
'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-2">',
) );genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-feature-3', array(
'before' => '<div class="welcome-feature-3">',
) );echo '</div><!-- end .welcome-features --></div><!-- end .wrap --></div><!-- end #welcome -->';
Hi
Thanks for replies yes call logged at appfinite but referred to Studio Press resources, no available theme specific guide.
The new version has been completely written from scratch and due to CSS changes and live site with content I have to do a manual upgrade, this is the advice from appfinite.
There's no way to auto upgrade between versions. I will take a look at the html5 code in the new one to see if it highlights the front page issues.
If anyone did a manual upgrade, be great to understand the required code changes in detail
Many thanks
Hi Doug
Your Welcome. You may want to consider using the WP version of Royal Slider instead as long as you dont want to use post/page excerpts/. Tons of documentation, fully customizable and excellent support. Im only using this now unless need to use post/page excerpts

Hi
Thanks for the reply
Its a dev site running locally. I understand that's the default styling, im struggling with which additional css code I need to add to the agency theme and where to add it in the css sheet to achieve points 1 & 2 in original post.
Scouring the internet, I found a ton of css studiopress font tutorials and in theory its simple, apart from the agency theme css doesnt have the css elements broken out for each section e.g. H tags, body etc and all the tutorials I found are not for this specific css sheet, so it didnt quite work
You could take a look at an old site of mine running agency as required CSS will be the same, its running on agency. http://www.metta3.com
I did manage to change all of the text and then I tried to add CSS for each element e.g. body but still didnt work
End outcome as per points above:
1. Use Dosis fonts for all H1 & H2 & H3 tags in posts and pages only
2. Change font size for all H tags but only in posts & pages not in home page widgets or menus
3. change font for content (paragraph or body?) to be ubuntu
4. change font for post and page content only to be justified - i have justified but unfortunately this justifed the menu as well!
If you are able to suggest the correct css tags that would be great
Cheers
Hi
Many thanks for the reply - I can add columns without issue. The challenge is im unable to style the columns to include an image or add vertical dividers. HR tags no problem
Should i be using some sort of div wrapper instead? As per the link above, I would like to create a page layout as per the http://www.wpbeginner.com/blueprint/
Or is there another way to approach this altogether
Many Thanks
Hi
Thanks for the detailed reply. Excuse my coming to grips with CSS.
I have fired up firebug to try and assist. I fully understand what you are saying above, but I am unsure of where to add this code in the CSS sheet.
Additionally, on a similar topic, I am trying to change my H2 page and post font sizes only and note this from firebug. This suggests that the default font size for all H tags is 30px?. So, my slight challenge is that I need to now specify H tag css sizes for each h tag I wish to change by the looks of things and am not sure how to breakdown the code or where to add (add beg or end or inline with CSS on sheet)
h1, h2, h2 a, h2 a:visited {
font-size: 30px;
}
style.css (line 791)
h1, h2, h2 a, h2 a:visited, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
color: #333333;
font-family: 'PT Sans',sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1.25;Site is a dev local build, but there's a version on the same theme at metta3.com
Thanks in advance
Hi
You may want to check this out. It works but requires a fair amount of photoshop work. Just put your image on the left of a canvas if you want content on right
http://rankingedge.com/genesis-responsive-slider-studio-press/
Couple of things to bear in mind, if you follow this route you have to add a more tag after 103 characters. That's not much good for me, I am trying to display pages and dont want to have a more tag inside a page when someone clicks continue.
Also, the continue button is rather large. Im still looking for a solution for that issue
Cheers
Hi
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide a very detailed reply.
I have tried the plugin and that seems to do the trick with the exception of wrapping text, but a small issue. It will be interesting to see how well it performs on a a live site, its debatable on dev.
Cheers
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
What I would like to do is use the banner and place it in a post exactly as if I had added an image. I have done this with no issue with all the ones written in HTML only but struggling with the JS one. Its just a 125x125 so thumbnail size & im trying to include it in post that includes all the other html ones. It will only be going in a single post but I need to position it with the text. Hope that makes sense?
If you can suggest how to achieve this, that would be great.
Also, please could you let me know the code for your first suggestion to display on each post, so that I can use this for other sites.
Many Thanks
Hi
Thanks for replying. Im building it as dev using Desktop Server. I wonder if somehow its not reloading the code. I have changed the code position and no difference. Still have menu at top right of page. Its in the theme, functions.php file and im editing with notepad ++. Desktop Server is pretty good, Im open to suggestions
Thanks
Hi
Great post..I have a similar issue. Using a custom header image my menu is now in the wrong place. I put the code into the functions file for the theme, but now I see it outputs the text for the code! I am new to this. Where exactly does the code snippet need to inserted in the functions.php file. I guess I am missing something here - Thanks in Advance
This is the extract from my php with the code
/** Add support for custom header */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 920, 'height' => 150 ) );/** Reposition the primary navigation menu */
remove_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
Hi
Thanks for taking the time to reply and yes that works brilliantly to set up sub pages under a menu item.
What I would like to do is have more than one sub-page showing on the same menu page. This method above is great but when you go to the menu header it does display the sub page titles but each one opens as a new page.
I did find a WP plugin that enables you to treat pages as posts, add categories and then each time you add a new page you just add the category and it automatically is attached to the menu item and displays as many sub-pages as you want on the same page.
Not sure if the WP plugin is the best way of doing it but it works
Being new to this, would you say that the subpage and child items method you shared is a better user experience?
Many Thanks
