Nope, nobody, the problem is that some don't want to tell you the answer because they want you to pay for support. I'm starting to get away from Genesis because of that. Not only do we PAY for the child-themes, but support is either her (voluntary) or limited by what the theme support team accepts to say or do. And complaining about it will trigger a few posts dripping of shame for complaining, as this forum here is on a volunteer basis, and it's hit of miss.

So, the answer is that those backstretch option is part of a structural file, and to disable it is a bit complex, as I'm told. I don't understand why, but I just moved to another theme. I think Genesis best years are behind, most child-themes are 2 years old (some older). It feels a bit like abandoned...

This being said, sorry, just feel for you. Try writing the theme's authors and ask. I think there is a support link in the theme's dashboard somewhere?

All the best,

Andre

OK, Brad, it''s working now.

Changes I made: left the paragraph break before the "return" tags, and took out the www in the URL. Not sure if that did anything but now the header is showing here.

Many thanks! 🙂

//* Modify the header URL
add_filter( 'genesis_seo_title', 'sp_seo_title', 10, 3 );
function sp_seo_title($title, $inside, $wrap) {
  $inside = sprintf( '<a href="http://vi-control.net/community" title="%s">%s</a>', esc_attr( get_bloginfo('name') ), get_bloginfo('name') );
  $title  = sprintf( '<%s class="site-title" itemprop="headline">%s</%s>', $wrap, $inside, $wrap );
  
  return $title;
}

//* Modify the header URL - HTML5 Version
add_filter( 'genesis_seo_title', 'child_header_title', 10, 3 );
function child_header_title( $title, $inside, $wrap ) {
    $inside = sprintf( '<a href="http://vi-control.net/community" title="%s">%s</a>', esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ), get_bloginfo( 'name' ) );
 
    return sprintf( '<%1$s class="site-title">%2$s</%1$s>', $wrap, $inside );
}

Hi Brad,

OK, so I have used both XHTML and HTML5 snippets.

//* Modify the header URL - HTML5 Version
add_filter( 'genesis_seo_title', 'child_header_title', 10, 3 );
function child_header_title( $title, $inside, $wrap ) {
    $inside = sprintf( '<a href="http://www.vi-control.net/community" title="%s">%s</a>', esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ), get_bloginfo( 'name' ) );
    return sprintf( '<%1$s class="site-title">%2$s</%1$s>', $wrap, $inside );
}

//* Modify the header URL - XHTML Version
add_filter('genesis_seo_title', 'sp_seo_title', 10, 3);
function sp_seo_title($title, $inside, $wrap) {
	$inside = sprintf( '<a href="http://www.vi-control.net/community" title="%s">%s</a>', esc_attr( get_bloginfo('name') ), get_bloginfo('name') );
	$title = sprintf('<%s id="title">%s</%s>', $wrap, $inside, $wrap);
	return $title;
}

However, now the header isn't showing... I refreshed many times... what could be the cause then?

Home BB

Thank you!

It was finally a server error that extended to other databases as well, but it's fixed now!

Thanks for caring... 🙂

Sorry for your troubles... I only use customize to dial a few settings, layout, background, etc. but other than that I don't use that area much to build sites. As far as saving, are you sure it's not saving so fast you don't see it? Have you verified after making the changes and clicking Save once? Have you Xd out of Customize to look at the changes you're supposed to see?

I also NEVER allow clients to have access to modifying the theme if I'm still in the process of building the site. Once my job is done, then fine, but I can't allow them to mess everything and ruin it. I give them an Editor status, no more.

Finally, I use a plugin called Duplicator, to make a backup of the site that I can restore if need be.

Maybe this isn't helping, but I wanted to try... 🙂

All the best,

Andre

[styzer]

Yep, done! Thank you again!

[styzer]

That was it! Thank you Christoph!

Brad's code is impeccable, the !important code was something that was added weeks ago to try and better present the three columns homepage.

Now it looks much more balanced, adjusting paddings did the rest.

I am so very grateful for the help, Christoph, you have no idea...

Regards,

Andre

Thank you Christoph,

I'm using one of Brad Dalton's codes to help create new layouts. It's working on News Pro, but not with the plugin I have enabled to create pricing tables.

So it is good for:

.small-content-big-sidebar .sidebar-primary {
    width: 40%;
    float: right;

to override:

.sidebar-primary {
    float: left;
    width: 55%;
}

If I could have:

.small-content-big-sidebar .content {
    width: 56%;
    float: left;
}

to override this:

.content {
    float: right;
    width: 45% !important;
    background: #FFF none repeat scroll 0% 0%;
}

then I'd be set I think! 🙂

I even disabled the pricing tables plugin, and created images which I inserted in the page, using this new layout. So I have no clue what I could do now...

Thanks for any help!

Hi Josh,

Looking at your site right now, I see content-sidebar working (Chrome browser), at width 950px. No padding for the wrap, only margins. The margin will push your wrap away from its parent (or centre it as in your code), while the padding will push your content away from the wrap's borders.

/* Line 465 */
.wrap
{
  margin-top: 0px;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
  margin-left: auto;
  max-width: 950px;
}

If you want the wrap to be 950px, and have a balanced content-sidebar ratio, I would suggest playing with % and not pixels. And if you reduce the width of your wrap, I would also suggest you also cut the margins and paddings values.

One other thing, you may want to work on the responsiveness? I looked at it using Chrome's device viewer, and all we see is a blue top menu bar, and no article. You should have your blog content at least show up .

Hope this helps a bit...

Regards,

Andre

Hi thanks for this... however this only changes the MENU appearance. But it was really close! I found a "display:none;" I just commented out, and it works.

Thanks!

Andre

[styzer]

Probably not that, seems to be for something else.

Anyone?

[styzer]

I was looking into the functions.php file, and found this:

remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'wpautop');
add_filter('the_content', 'wpautop' , 12);

Would this be where the action is?

THIS IS GOLD
"* In simple terms (since this is just a bit of background, you weren’t really asking about it, and talking about Apache or nginx configuration files may be out of scope here), the exception is when you use a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache … which actually creates a physical file for almost every publicly-accessible page, then stores it in your cache directory … and when someone requests that page, they will receive that physical file if it exists … thus bypassing a lot of application server processing … saving a lot of time and server resources. It’s the database access that really slows things down."

I truly appreciate how well you explain so I can understand, it's rare for me... 🙂

Andre

Sure Erik, make it public, I don't know how to. And thank you! I will work on this and let you know how it goes...

Thanks a lot!

I'll keep this for tomorrow... Many thanks! Outstanding help, clear and enthusiastic support! :O)

[styzer]

Thanks again! So do I need to recreate the posts already done for this function to be applied?

I often refer to the text view to make sure there's not too much going on. It slows your site down too.

Thanks Erik, I can go to bed now! 🙂

[styzer]

Wow, I was indeed way into the wild... Thanks for this!

It's all working as it should now, and I'm saving this for archives.

Is it normal to have formatting at every line or paragraph (text view)?

See:

[styzer]

Here are screenshots. It's been a while since I made a WP site from scratch, so this is very helpful, Erik!

Thank you!
