April 14, 2013 at 2:44 pm in reply to: Need Help: Upgrade to Genesis 1.9 cropped bottom of header #35462wendycholbiMember
Make sure you've updated Prose to version 1.5.2 as well as updating Genesis to version 1.9.2. That should fix the header issue.
I noticed that your entire site is pushed to the left -- that's an issue caused by your E-Junkie buttons. There's a fix, which involves manually editing the E-Junkie "view cart" buttons. See this E-Junkie forum post for one example and the cart troubleshooting page for a code snippet.

wendycholbiMemberSo glad to hear you got it fixed, Shannon!

wendycholbiMemberLooks like you need to edit your CSS in Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS. Right now, it looks like this:
/** Do not remove this line. Edit CSS below. */ .sidebar .widget { margin: 0 0 10px; } #postwidget-2 .postwidgettitle { font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0; } #postwidget-2 .postwidgetinfo { font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0; } /** Do not remove this line. Edit CSS below. */ .sidebar .widget { border: 0px red solid; background: #ffffff; } .post { margin-bottom:15px; } .sidebar .widget { padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:1px; } <?php
There are several issues here:
You haven't actually added the CSS I provided above for your subnav,
There's a <?php line at the end that doesn't belong there,
There is some code that's not needed (zero-pixel red border on sidebar widgets?)
There is some code that can be consolidated (margin and padding on sidebar widgets).To fix these issues, overwrite the entire contents of your Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS field with this:
/** Do not remove this line. Edit CSS below. */ /***full-width subnav***/ body { width: 100%; } #subnav ul { float: none; margin: 0 auto; width: 970px; } #footer { width: 970px; } /***reduce space between sidebar widgets***/ .sidebar .widget { margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 1px 0; } /***adjust font size in Recent Posts widgets***/ #postwidget-2 .postwidgettitle { font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0; } #postwidget-2 .postwidgetinfo { font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0; } /***adjust space between posts***/ .post { margin-bottom:15px; }
And save changes.
Make sure you are editing the Custom CSS field, NOT the Custom PHP field. Only the code I gave you in this response goes into Custom PHP.

wendycholbiMemberThis may be a long shot, but if you visit Users --> Your Profile in your WordPress dashboard, and scroll down to where it says User Permissions, do you have "Enable Genesis Admin Menu" checked?
If it's not checked, check the box and save settings. Even if it IS checked, maybe uncheck, and check it again, and save, to try to get those permissions restored?

wendycholbiMemberWhen you make changes in Genesis --> Design Settings, style.css is not modified. Instead, a new file is created, called settings.css.
The settings.css file (and the custom.css file and custom.php file created by the Genesis --> Custom Code screen) are not stored in the theme folder. You can find them in wp-content/uploads/prose/ (there will also be a file called minified.css there if you check the "Minify CSS?" box on the Design Settings page -- for testing purposes, I suggest not checking that box, and keeping CSS un-minified until the site is ready for public consumption).
So take a look via FTP and see if settings.css has in fact been created in your wp-content/uploads/prose/ directory, and whether its contents reflect the Design Settings changes you've made in your dashboard.
If you don't see a settings.css file there at all, there may be a permissions issue preventing WordPress from creating (or reading) the file. Usually, setting permissions to 755 on wp-content/uploads/ works, as long as that permissions setting applies recursively to subdirectories. The individual CSS and PHP files within the prose folder should normally be set to 644.
If that's not the issue, post back here and let us know. Permissions and file ownership can be tricky beasts.

wendycholbiMemberI should have clarified that the CSS code I provided above goes into Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS (but maybe you figured this out?) I'm sure it didn't help that I started my post by talking about CSS, switched to discussing where to paste PHP, and then gave you a chunk of CSS. Sorry about that!
In the Custom Functions field, the problem is that somehow the lines got pasted in in the wrong order. It should look like this:
<?php /** Do not remove this line. Edit functions below. */ add_action( ‘genesis_before’, ‘child_conditional_actions’ ); function child_conditional_actions() { if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) { //if page is home page or front page remove_action( ‘genesis_after_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_meta’ ); } } // Add support for structural wraps add_theme_support( ‘genesis-structural-wraps’, array( ‘header’, ‘nav’, ‘subnav’, ‘inner’, ‘footer-widgets’, ‘footer’ ) );
In short, just move the your very last line to the very top of the Custom Functions field. Let me know if this works!

wendycholbiMemberI see two Featured Posts widgets in a row ("Sports News" and "Entertainment"). The post titles (to the left of the thumbnail images) for each post are h2's that are showing up as 16px Palatino. If you want to change all of these, in both widgets, copy this CSS into Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS, inserting your font-family and font-size of choice:
.featuredpost h2 { font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; }
You can also change "normal" to "italic" if you want the post titles italicized, and change the font weight to "normal" if you don't want them bold. You can remove the font-style and font-weight lines entirely if you aren't changing these values.
If you want to change the post titles on one or the other of those widgets, but not both, you'll need to specify the individual widget classes. "Sports News" is featured-post-2 and "Entertainment" is featured-post-4, so instead of ".featuredpost h2" in the above CSS, you'd use something like "#featured-post-2 h2" in the first line of the CSS.
I agree that using Firebug is a great way to see what CSS is being used on your site (and test changes). I came up with all of the above code suggestions via Firebug.

April 9, 2013 at 7:10 pm in reply to: Space between Sidebar Widget Title and its Content in Prose Theme #34420wendycholbiMemberThe sidebar widget titles have a default bottom margin of 10px and a default bottom padding of 3px. To adjust these, copy this CSS into Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS, changing the 10px and 3px numbers to suit you:
h4.widgettitle { margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0 0 3px; }

wendycholbiMemberOkay, I see what you're getting at now. Thanks for the example link -- that clarified it a lot for me.
(I'd suggest taking out the code you pasted into functions.php, and as a general rule if you ever need to add a custom function, paste it into Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom Functions instead.)
I believe this CSS should do what you're asking:
body { width: 100%; } #subnav ul { float: none; margin: 0 auto; width: 970px; } #footer { width: 970px; }
When I add this to your site using Firebug, it appears to work. Let me know if it works for you, OK?

wendycholbiMemberWhen I look at your site, I see that the main navigation bar (below the header) does stretch the full width of your site (it's the same width as your header). Were you able to fix this? Or am I misinterpreting your question?
And on a side note, if you're only using the Secondary Navigation because its default location is below the header, you can actually reposition the Primary Navigation below the header (thus letting you take advantage of certain features that are Primary-Navigation-only, like the right-side extras). This forum post discusses how to do that.

wendycholbiMemberYou're very welcome -- I'm glad to hear that it worked for you!
I love WordPress, Genesis, and the Prose child theme (my complete guide to using Prose is here: SiteSetupKit.com). Say hi on Twitter: @wendycholbi
wendycholbiMemberThe default is for sidebar widgets to have a bottom margin of 40px. To reduce this, place this code snippet in Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS, changing the 20px value to suit your needs:
.sidebar .widget { margin: 0 0 20px; }
Looking at your list of recent posts, I see some CSS inserted in the widget, in a <style> tag. This code is not being applied, so it should be removed.
Here again, you'll need to place a code snippet into Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS to reduce the bottom margin on the text in this widget. I'd suggest specifying the individual widget in your CSS (so that your CSS change doesn't apply to every paragraph in every sidebar widget) like this, using the values from the <style> tag I saw:
#postwidget-2 .postwidgettitle { font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0; } #postwidget-2 .postwidgetinfo { font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0; }
Hope this helps!

(I see now that my code was a little mangled -- sorry about that, I really thought I had formatted it correctly. Oh well. You figured it out anyway!)

wendycholbiMemberDon't edit Prose's style.css file directly. Instead, make any changes and additions in Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS (Prose is the only Genesis child theme that has this extremely handy feature).
There is a Design Setting (Genesis --> Design Settings --> Input Boxes) for Input Boxes, which includes comment fields. But it does not address the background of the comment area, just the comment input box.

April 7, 2013 at 3:39 pm in reply to: Boxes / borders around content and sidebars in Prose theme #33793wendycholbiMemberIf you're going to modify or add any CSS, please do it in the Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS field, NOT in the style.css file. Prose is the only Genesis theme that has this feature, so for any tutorial that tells you to add something to style.css, just mentally translate that to "add it to Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS".
And yes, adding some custom CSS is the only way to add dividers or borders to the content area, sidebar(s), sidebar widgets, and images.
The Prose Design Settings do let you set a border around the navigation bar(s), footer widget areas, blockquotes, notice boxes, and input boxes. And the wrap, which is the container for your whole site. But for any items other than those, custom CSS is necessary.

wendycholbiMemberYep, it's still happening. This particular thread now appears in both my Favorites and my Subscriptions (presumably because I started it) but none of the other threads that I mark as Favorites appear there.
I'll continue to subscribe to threads via email to make sure I don't miss replies (since I know that does work), but it would be really nice to be able to catch up on threads I'm watching from within the forum, instead of having to go to my email inbox (like just about everyone else I know, I already get too many emails, and I don't want to lose track of the emails relating to my forum activity).

wendycholbiMemberTake a look at this thread which contains a discussion of widening the content area. It may point you in the right direction (although that thread was specifically about widening an entire site, and it sounds like you want to keep the default site width but just change the relative widths of the content area and the sidebar -- there are still code snippets in that thread that may help).
If you're still having issues after reading that, post back here and include the contents of your Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS field.
Changing widths of site elements can indeed cause weirdness with responsiveness. You have my sympathies there!

wendycholbiMemberI suggest using the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin to add this image after each post.
Once you've installed and activated this plugin, go to Genesis --> Simple Hooks, and scroll down until you find the genesis_after_post hook. Paste this HTML into that field:
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://seedsowersthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/seedsowersflourish1a-300x55.jpg"></div>
Save changes with the blue Save Settings or Save Changes button.This should make that image show up between each post on the home page (as well as between each post on all multi-post pages, like category and author archives, etc.).
The image will also show up beneath a post on a single post page (it will show up below the comment box and below any comments). So if it's OK for that flourish to appear there, this method should work.
If you don't want the image to appear on single post pages, I'm not sure what to suggest...

wendycholbiMemberWhew, so glad it worked! I'll take responsibility for the first block of (non-working) code because I didn't mark up my forum post properly to use the correct code formatting.

wendycholbiMember@albigin, please put that code into Genesis --> Custom Code --> Custom CSS, NOT in the Prose child theme style.css. The Custom Code fields will be preserved whenever there's a new version of the theme, but any changes to style.css will be overwritten and you'll lose them.
