April 8, 2013 at 9:01 am in reply to: How can I enable Jetpack Comments while running Outreach child Theme #33981
Simon
ParticipantHi AnitaC,
It was not a theme issue as I had originally thought. I thought it was the theme because when I was logged in to wordpress things seemed to work fine, but when I was logged out it would not allow me to log in via twitter or facebook.
I figured out the issue. I had anonymous commenting disabled ("commenters must be logged in" was enabled). I had thought this would simply remove the ability of those without a wordpress, facebook, or twitter account from commenting; however, I suspect because of how the Jetpack comment system executes, it essentially disables all methods of logging in other than using a wordpress account.
I'm hopeful they'll add the ability to disable anonymous comments or at least add captcha to them, but for now I've disabled "commenters must be logged in" and that's resolved my issue.
Thanks,
Simon

ParticipantSomething I had a lot of trouble with was the header image, but I figured it out looking at how some others had done it. I think you'll need it to be a much narrower than it is currently if you want it to be responsive.
Using the "My Custom CSS" plugin I added the following to my CSS (a lot of people suggested using the an app rather than modifying the CSS directly so the changes won't get overwritten by a future theme update.)
/************************************************
* Genesis Outreach Theme style.css Header Fixes *
************************************************/
#title-area {
background: url(http://www.leafonthewindphoto.com/shinies/themes/outreach/images/LotWPhoto-Header-320x120.png) no-repeat !important;
background-position: left !important;
background-size: contain !important;
}#title {
margin: 0 !important;
}#title a,
#title a:hover {
color: #FFFFFF !important;
display: block !important;
height: 120px !important;
text-indent: -9999px !important;
width: 320px !important;
}
Hope that helps.

ParticipantLooking at how some other sites using this theme were able to accomplish what I wanted to do with my logo, I edited the Header section of the outreach child theme's style.css as follows, and as a side effect these changes seem to have eliminated this other issue in most circumstances.
#title-area {
background: url(images/Header-320x120.png) no-repeat; /*Added*/
background-position: left !important; /*Added*/
background-size: contain; /*Added*/
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 430px;
}#title {
font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
font-size: 48px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1;
/*margin: 35px 0 0;; Removed*/
margin: 0; /*Added*/
text-transform: uppercase;
}#title a,
#title a:hover {
/*color: #fff; Removed*/
color: #FFFFFF; /*Added*/
display: block; /*Added*/
height: 120px; /*Added*/
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: -9999px; /*Added*/
width: 320px; /*Added*/The one case where the issue returns is if you zoom in on the webpage but, you don't want to do that anyway, because Outreach does a horrible job of handling it, apparently.
Hopefully this helps you too.

ParticipantWhile working on my site last night, getting the logo to be just how I wanted it, I believe as a side effect I resolved this issue. Ill post more details later.

ParticipantThanks for the reply.
I do not currently have the plugin you refer to installed. I did deactivate a few plugins and that, unfortunately, does not seem to resolve the issue.
I currently have the following installed, and they're active unless otherwise noted: 1) Better WP Security, 2) BulletProof Security, 3) Genesis Responsive Slider, 4) Jetpack, 5) Login Lockdown, 6) Secure WordPress, 7) Transparent Image Watermark (disabled for this test), 8) Genesis Latest Tweets (disabled until API issue resolved), 9) Akismet (disabled).
I should note, at this time I've tested this on 3 different machines and it definitely appears to be a chrome <-> Outreach issue, rather than an issue specific to my machine - not that anyone has suggested that, but I wanted to rule it out.
Thanks,
Simon
