For 2) I notice you have a post on this https://wpsites.net/web-design/style-author-box-in-genesis-beginners-guide/

@Brad

Thanks,for replying to my post.

1) My sidebar widget is currently the Gravatar based Genesis User Profile widget. If this must be replaced (as suggested in the link). I don't think I can currently use blocks in widget areas so will this html with the profile image loaded from the media library, or are there any good widgets to do this.

2) You are right, the author box is a check box option in my user settings - I copied the text from the above profile widget which is why I was a bit confused. Do I replace with a custom: block and, or plugin/widget. Alternatively, do I simply change the currently styles?

@Brad

Thanks very much that was fairly straightforward. I now I will have to think of something great to go in this new widget area 🙂

Hi victor

Thanks for your interesting comments.

Initially, I just disable this

wp_enqueue_style( 'google-font', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );

Then as per you blog post change the CSS to point to my downloaded fonts.. Looks like good advice. Ok just need to spend some times looking at a font I can fall in love with.

Also, I think I need to make some other changes to Styles.css to reflect the new fonts.
Looks like both of these will need amending

html{font-family:sans-serif;.....}

body {
	background-color: #fff;
	color: #222;
	font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 16px;
	font-size: 1.6rem;
	font-weight: 300;
	line-height: 1.625;
}

Hi @AnitaC

Mike the author of the plugin also suggested using Google Fonts, so I have downloaded the plugin from the WordPress Repo as per your suggestion. Any hints please on fonts similar to the font used my Medium:

medium-content-sans-serif

There are quite a few to choose from.....

Hi

Actually it couldn't be easier - Just select Tags in Menu -> Screen Options

How to add a WordPress Post or Tag to a menu

The only confusing thing is when plugins add "Tags" to the menu customiser as in my case so you need to select or deselect the right one.

[westerdaled]

Just realised that the Tags Option is becuse I have installed the link Library plugin ( which has its own taxonomy).

Hi Victor

Thanks for your reply. Yes cagegories menu item is easy, I have temporarily added a category menu item to the my blog site menu ( category = "Keeping Fit") . Now, I want to replace this with my desired tag, but still rollup the same posts. Anyway, before I go down the programming route ( function.php or my own site plugin) , what does puzzle me there is a Tags option in the Menu customiser. However, it is empty 🙁 , why is this? . Note, it is pity you can't upload attachments on this forum as pictures say a thousand words.....

Hi Anita

Mike's plugin is impressive. Thanks . What is is the advantage of google fonts out interest and also, I take it they are referenced from the Google CDN?

[westerdaled]

Ok I will check out your suggestions. I suspect there are a number of fonts etc that look great on tech blogs.

[westerdaled]

The plugin looks great as it allows styles applied to an individually post or globally. However, I have got into the habit of overriding or commenting out styles centrally, in styles.css which I edit in (free) Visual Studio Code. Hence this is what I did with your suggested style. Yep, good call as it looks impressive on mobile as well as the desktop. Thanks

[westerdaled]

You are so right and like you I do feel elated when things work -even if it means overriding each style as I had to do for the resume plugin this week.

Ok did you add that style to styles.css or have been able to also load a custom style sheet . I am not sure how to that. Eitherway, I am happy to try as I will working on the blog a bit later this evening.

@tatami

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Yes, your comments are helpful as this is what I kind suspected.

My only other thought the font-size for the quote could be a little bit larger for a stronger emphasis. Indeed, I am comfortable about changing styles.css - I am using free GIT source control( visual studio team services) to keep track of the changes.

Really like WordPress but is it a so time consuming 😉 )

[westerdaled]

Hi

I want to do the exact same thing.

Following the advice given, I dragged a html widget with some test text in the Right Header but this just appears to overwrite the site title ( righthand side)

<h2>
	Something or other.
</h2>

Ideally, I want the tagline / site description ( shortcode??) to appear the right of the site title, bottom justified, smaller font size and in italics.

[westerdaled]

Victor

That is an interesting checklist with some fine detail there. I like the hosted JQuery ( or whatever it is) display page - I thought I might look at Microsoft ToDo, ToodleDo or Trello or zenkit to host the plan. Anyway I will use this and add (WordFence) security settings and some of my must have plugins.

Thanks again.

Daniel

Hi

Thanks for following this up. I am an IT Consultant by trade and I have built a few (simple) site plugins. My favourite IDE is Visual Studio Code + PhP support and it even integrates with GIT. Hence, I am happy to step through the tutorial steps in the link.

Hi

Thanks for replying. I can see from the Portfolio Pro source, that I have:

- archive-portfolio.phhp
- single-portfolio.php
- taxonomy-portfolio.php

Unless there is a blog / post or HowTo guide on how to modify these, I guess I could progress through the WordPress Readme you refer to. I only have Metro Pro and Executive Pro Themes and not Minimum Pro Theme. Is there a discount for or those who just want the templates? 😉

The filtering I was referring to was to dynamically show Portfolio items based on user Portfolio Types. I can see a few use cases for this UI.

[westerdaled]

FormidableForms is very impressive. I'm even contemplating the Personal or Pro price plans.
