      Hi,

      How can I add an Active Campaign email subscriber form?

      What code do I need to have it display like the demo site?

      Thanks

      Craig

        Hi Craig,

        We use the Genesis eNews plugin in all of our Theme Demos. You can download this plugin for free here – https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-enews-extended/

        You won’t need any code to set it up. All you would need to do is install it, go to your Widgets page (WP Admin) and drag the Genesis eNews plugin over to the widget area you want to use it in. Inside the widget itself you’ll see the Fields where you can add in all your info.

        There are quite a few tutorials out there that you can use if you have a specific Email Service you would like to use with it. If you’re using MailChimp for example, do a Google Search for “Genesis eNews MailChimp Tutorial” and you’ll see some Tutorials pop up that you can use.

          I found a tutorial here:

          https://wordpress.org/support/topic/form-communication-with-activecampaign-does-not-work/

          Another quick question…

          Is their a way to change the color of the subscriber optin form on the Ambition theme from black to say bright orange like the elevate theme?

          Thanks

            Line 1499 of your theme .css:

            .fp2 {
            	background: #FF5722;
            	clear: both;
            	color: #fff;
            	overflow:  hidden;
            	padding: 60px 0;
            }

                Where can I edit the code to make the subscriber button “green”?

                  .fp2 .enews-widget input[type=”submit”] {
                  background-color: #34bb5c;
                  }

                  This is how you find out what to do with changing colors, etc. in your .css:

                  USE INSPECT ELEMENT. Open the website (any) and right click your mouse, the window pops up with
                  an “INSPECT” at the bottom. Click that.
                  A panel opens up at the bottom…and as you mouse over different parts of your webpage,
                  you can see the associated code revealed, as well as certain sections being highlighted.
                  THIS is how you can quickly look and see where to change a background color, etc.

                    BTW, when you use “inspect” any changes you make go away when you close the browser, or go to a different page. That is a safe way to try out different settings without “really” changing them. So if you want to decide a header color, you can “inspect” that area, and the color can be adjusted to whatever you want… save the “#000000” or other..to then actually put in your css.

                        Hi,

                        This image is creating an issue with my https site.

                        http://demo.appfinite.net/ambition/wp-content/themes/ambition/images/white-arrow.png

                        Where can I edit this in the template?

                        I have downloaded the white arrow image and uploaded it to my media gallery.

                        Can you tell me where to replace this link of code?

                        Thanks

                              Hi Wes,

                              I have most of it figured out.

                              Great Theme by the way.

                              I’m still having an issue trying to get the main image on the front page to show up correctly.

                              Here’s a link to my site.

                              https://www.craigbeckta.com

                              The image of me is from the waist up.

                              On the Imac only my head appears.

                              On the Macbook Pro it is slightly better.

                              On the Ipad I am cut in half and I do not appear on the Iphone.

                              I have tried different sizes and adding bars to the top and bottom but nothing seems to work.

                              Check out some examples below.

                              https://www.craigbeckta.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Craig-Beckta-Com-1.jpg

                              https://www.craigbeckta.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Craig-S-Beckta.jpg

                              I tried 1600 by 1050 and 1800 by 1200.

                              Any ideas what size image or crop?

                              Or do I have to change some code with the theme?

                              I’m not sure why the image does not appear correctly in any of the devices.

                              From Imac to Macbook to Ipad or Iphone.

                              The image does not look right.

                              Give it a try…

                              https://craigbeckta.com

                              I was going for something like this look which is also using the Genesis Framework.

                              Check out this example: https://frankkern.com/

                              Any ideas how they are getting the image to work on this site on different devices?

                              This site looks the same on the Imac as it does on the Macbook Pro: https://frankkern.com/

                              Maybe I need a custom designed site to get the same look?

                              Not sure…

                              Thanks,

                                    You are asking the theme to change your image responsively, to the Iphone size?

                                    Need to make a new image properly sized and resolution for your “small screen”. This means taking the “head shot” of you, and editing it to fit on the smalll screen and share that space with the text.

                                    You do this by having different images loaded in your media library, and then “trigger” them to replace the full size “desktop” image. That desktop image resizes down to a point..but you get to a size reductin where your image simply won’t fit.

                                    The easy way is to add this to the @media only section.

                                    @media only screen and (max-width: 550px) {
                                    
                                    .image-section, .image-section a   {
                                          background: url(http://YOUR IMAGE URL GOES HERE.png) no-repeat!important;
                                          background-position: center !important;
                                          background-size: contain !important;
                                          height: 100%;
                                          width: 100%;
                                      }

                                      Here is an example of a website:

                                      http://www.baypointrodandgun.com/

                                      It is using the Genesis Outreach, but the concept is the same for your theme. Notice on this example, the size of the header is responsive as you manipulate the screen (shrink it on your browser)..and at the smallest settings (480px) the image changes to the customer’s logo. This is because the full size header with text properly shrank, but it looked “TINY”..so the big logo kicks in.

                                      You can do the same by cropping your “head shot” of you and with the proper resolution and size…a properly fit image will appear on the requesite sized screen.

                                              background: url( http://andykev.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Craig-Beckta.jpg) no-repeat!important;
                                              background-position: center !important;
                                              background-size: cover !important;
                                        	  background-repeat: no-repeat;
                                              height: 100%;
                                              width: 100%;
                                          }

                                        THe ABOVE IS CORRRRECT. I made a mistake copying the code. This will work for your site. I have left my URL here for you to see. Replace it with your URL when you upload the proper image to your media library. I simply downloaded your image and cropped it. You may want to play with the image to make it nice. As shown it’s pretty close.

                                          @Craig, I replied to your other post here – https://appfinite.com/topic/image-issues-on-front-page/#post-20391

                                          I’d recommend uploading a separate version of your image for mobile devices. This can easily be uploaded and activated on mobile devices once you have the cropped image available.

                                                Ok,

                                                I think I found the spot.

                                                It looks like it is working on the iPhone but not the ipad.

                                                Is the ipad a different size or code?

                                                  The full image shows up on the Iphone.

                                                  Which makes me think the 1600 by 1050 size must be wrong for the desktop.

                                                  It just shows my head on the 2560 wide monitor.

                                                  I tried the same image on the Elevate theme and it shows more of my upper body than the Ambition theme.

                                                  Their must be size differences in the theme somewhere that I can change to get more of my upper body showing on a screen size of 2560 wide.

                                                  Any ideas?

                                                  Or should I just switch themes?
