I found the solution in the end, in case it's of use to anyone else:

.genesis-nav-menu > li:hover .sub-menu a,
.genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu a {
background-color: #ddd;
}

Thanks Victor, but I needed the sub-menu changing 🙂

This sounds useful - could you explain what you did please? I would like to display footer widgets on certain pages only.

thanks 🙂

Brad, thank you - that is brilliantly easy & has worked a treat - thank you SO much!

all the best

I eventually found a solution (sadly I can't find the link where) - I wanted to add in 2 additional Google fonts

1 - added the following to the theme function file (make sure you take a backup first!!)
//* Enqueue scripts - additional GOOGLE FONTS
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'minimum_enqueue_scripts' );
function minimum_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'minimum-google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=IM+Fell+English:400|Old+Standard+TT:400', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
}

2 - updates the style.css as follows :
/* change sidebar heading font & colour */
.sidebar .widget-title {
color: #D50100;
font-family: "IM Fell English", "Old Standard TT", Courier, Arial, serif; /* TLR */
}

You can see the result in this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/AqlZ7PRalg

Hope that helps!

My pleasure - it would be an awesome resource to have!!

thanks again for your (ongoing) help!

cheers...

[TraceyR]

Perfect - thanks SO much!!

(Is there by any chance a list of sorts that has this info on it? Almost like a "mapping" of the css to the parts of a typical page? With the changes from the old version of the theme I'm having headaches 🙂 )

much appreciated,
Tracey

Hi Andrea, if I can add a question to this general theme of colours changes ...

I'm quite comfortable editing the CSS... but with the latest version of Lifestyle, can't quite figure out how to target the widget headings specifically; in the old version it was "#sidebar h4", and then I could modify colour, font etc.

However, in Lifestyle Pro, if I use Firebug to get the CSS it's just "h4" for the widgets too (see screenshot http://screencast.com/t/VO1w3zlwVr1) - and I want a different colour/font for the widgets compared to the rest of the site.

I've tried .sidebar-primary .h4 {color: #D50100; } for example, but no luck!

please help 🙂

Thanks for the link Brad - it's been a huge help to me!
I am now using 2 versions of my header image to cater for different devices - looking good 🙂

thanks,
Tracey

I've just discovered a link to a tutorial in another post on the forum that helps with making the header mobile-friendly :

Customize Mobile Responsiveness of Lifestyle Pro Theme Header

I created a small version of my header, used this tutorial & added in an extra "background-image" statement & it's looking good on mobile too

all the best

Hi Andrea,

I have the same requirement as Kathleen, to have a full-width header - 1068px wide, 275 px high.
(When purchasing this version of Lifestyle PRO it says "custom header" ... but it doesn't say it's so tiny!)

I followed your instructions to
a) modify the functions.php file
b) modify the CSS ".header-image .site-title a" - min height
c) modify the CSS under .site-header (I didn't remove all the rules, only added in the background image & a min-height statement

It works beautifully on my PC (see client's test site at http://thesimplewebinarcompany.com/lulu/ ) but looks bad on mobile - you mentioned above that "extensive work" would be needed to sort out the mobile side ... is there a tutorial anywhere that could point us in the right direction to sort out the CSS etc. for mobiles, please?

I presume the reason the original header is small, is that it's to make it responsive - can we have 2 separate headers to cater for different devices?

thanks
Tracey

Hi Andrea,

ah, thanks!! - it is now showing something - although not quite what I expected 🙂 It's just showing a "0" ...

The guy whose site it is (a friend), has an SEO expert who has set up a custom field to show keywords (yes, I know this isn't good practice at ALL - but it's not my website & my business!! I did try to convince him otherwise. Anyhow....)

The thing is, there are 4 custom fields per page, 3 set by various plugins (e.g. Sexybookmarks for social media sharing) but the 0 value being shown doesn't bear any relation to any of them - if I change the values, it still shows 0 - so it's almost like it's a binary value...

I'm going to get the SEO person to double-check that the statement "return $wp_query->queried_object->page-info;" does actually do what he intends, as with your help we have something showing...

Thank you kindly!!!
Tracey

Thanks Andrea 🙂

Your code/syntax didn't break anything (phew), but it didn't output anything either, sadly...
I put your Shortcode function code before my footer code (of course), and then amended the end of the footer code :

<span style="font-size:10px;">Website by: <span style="color: #e3e3e3;">The Simple Web Company</span> • <span style="color: #e3e3e3;"><?php wp_loginout(); ?></span></span>
<br />[pageinfo]
';
return $creds;
}

But it's now not showing anything on the website...

If you have any other ideas, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks,
Tracey 🙂

Hi Carrie,

Thanks for the useful links, much appreciated - I managed to find a way around it that worked ok but the link to the Genesis CPT plugin is useful for future reference!

Many thanks...
Tracey
