Thanks David! I'll look into the responsive issue.

Ryan,

It sounds like your media links got corrupted. It sounds like something that happened to me once.

I'd love to help but you have maintenance mode activated. If you take it out of maintenance I can look at your media urls and may be able to help.

Thanks guys, this worked perfectly! Just needed to change absolute to relative for my theme.

Nevermind, I figured it out! There was something wrong in the div of the text widget above it...

Tara,

Did you figure this out? I'm having the same problem with that theme.

Image #1 is great, image #3 doesn't show up although the thumbnail shows in the customization field. I've deleted and re-uploaded the images, deleted and reinstalled the theme and nothing seems to help....

Any tips?

Thanks,
Sara

Bingo, thanks Tom!

I haven't had problems with Broken Link Checker in the past but have deactivated and deleted it now. Those were definitely false positives because the links work just fine.

I really appreciate your help!

I did a trial of Shopify a while back and decided against it but I can't quite recall why. I think it felt very heavy time-wise as far as coding and maintenance requirements. It's also a POS system so unless she wants a storefront as well you might find yourself paying a premium for functionality you don't need.

eCommerce is very time-intensive no matter what platform you use. You'll want to really think about who will be listing products and maintaining the store to be sure you pick the easiest platform for that person to use (e.g. if you are needing to do additional coding or special configurations for each product to get the look you want it may be more difficult for your wife to maintain).

I use both Ecwid and WooCommerce on various client sites and have been very happy with both. There is a plugin called Genesis Connect for WooCommerce that helps integrate Woo with Genesis themes.

Overall I haven't had many problems with either platform but I have had a consistent blurry image problem with Woo on one of my sites.

Each has their own drawbacks but that's true with any of the dozens and dozens of ecommerce platforms I've used over the years! There are a few functionalities I'd like to see added to Ecwid and WooCommerce requires you to pay for additional functionality which is ok unless you need a lot of add-on functions.

Ecwid support can be kind of slow since it's based in Europe and support is done through their forum but WooCommerce doesn't provide ANY direct support until you pay for a theme or extension - so your satisfaction with either may depend on how familiar you are with the ins and outs of ecommerce, especially shipping and tax configurations.

I'd recommend WooCommerce for your purposes but you'll want to really look at the core functionality + the number of extensions you'll need to achieve your ideal store (you'll probably need at least a few - e.g. a bulk import function).

Robert,

I'm curious as to what prompted you to switch from Squarespace to WP? I love working in WP and Genesis but was thinking about doing an upcoming project in Squarespace.

Would love to hear your thoughts....

Thanks!

Thank you Andrea for confirming my worst suspicions (and saving me $!). I'm sorry you've lost so much.

Thanks all. I've been looking at Booking System Pro for a while now but am a bit wary of Code Canyon plugins as I've read a couple of horror stories about developers selling half-baked solutions and then not supporting them.

Since this seems to be an area of high demand, I'm particularly wary as I think a truly solid booking/appointment plugin would have people flocking to it!

Maybe Andrew or someone else will take this on...

Thanks Brad - I tried that but it still isn't centered on the button? Maybe I'm being too nitpicky but I'd love it to align with the button....

Just getting back to this. I removed the site tagline altogether. I'd like to put the menu bar above the header and have the header scroll out of the way. The menu is the Genesis main menu...

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've looked at a few different ways of doing this but none of them seem to be exactly right.

The site is not live at the moment.

Thanks!

This is really cool. If you figure it out, could you please share how? Thanks!

Brad - Thank you for the response! I need to break it down a bit further to be sure I understand what you mean....

So I'd copy the code from my existing archive-portfolio.php into a new Custom Post Type called, for instance, botanical-portfolio.php and portrait-portfolio.php? Would I need to adjust functions.php to register or call for the new Post Types in the code below? I'd keep all the images the same size - 540, 340.

//* Create portfolio custom post type
add_action( 'init', 'minimum_portfolio_post_type' );
function minimum_portfolio_post_type() {

register_post_type( 'portfolio',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Portfolio', 'minimum' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Portfolio', 'minimum' ),
),
'exclude_from_search' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => true,
'menu_icon' => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/icons/portfolio.png',
'public' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'portfolio' ),
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'trackbacks', 'custom-fields', 'comments', 'revisions', 'page-attributes', 'genesis-seo' ),
)
);

}

Thank you for the help!

Great, thanks Andrea!  It must just be stuck in the cache of all of my browsers.

I'm having a similar problem with my favicon.  I am rebranding the site at sturtevants-sv.com.

I've uploaded the new favicon to replace the green fish favicon but can't get it to change.  The weird thing is that I can't even find the green version anywhere in my files.

I tried loading the page for the image itself and it was the right image but the favicon still didn't update.

This little image is driving me nuts....

Thanks Brad, it's http://sturtos.com

I built it as a child off of Backcountry.

There are certainly issues with the site (I was really amateur then!) but I'm not anticipating any major coding problems.
