This will change the color to white. Locate .site-header in your css (should be around line 1159)

.site-header {
	background-color: #000;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
	left: 0;
	position: fixed;
	top: 0;
	width: 100%;
	z-index: 999;
}

Change #000 to #fff

.site-header {
	background-color: #fff;

To add space to the left of the logo. Add margin-left: 20px; to .site-title a

.site-title a {
    margin-left: 20px;
}

That’s most likely an issue with either the APP or the plugin, as the Theme itself doesn’t affect the functionality of the plugin or FB app. I’d try and contact the Developer of the plugin to see if they’ve ran into this issue before.

They only upload the latest version of the theme, and not the older versions (which makes sense, since no one would want an older version). So if you have download access to the theme, it’s always going to be the latest version available. The version you’re looking at in your downloads is going to be the same version I can see on my account which is 1.1.2.

In the future, if you open the style.css file it shows what version it is at the top of the file. This is the exact same way StudioPress creates their files.

Anytime a new update is made, it’s announced on Social Media, plus here in the forum. There will be a Newsletter that you can sign up for soon that will send you an email once it’s ready.

BTW, did you make any edits to your Theme Files? If not, then you’re good to go! Just upload the new version and you’re done 🙂

You can download it from your account page. If you bought it here, the link to your account is at the bottom of the site. If you bought at SP then you can download from your account there.

There are no instructions for updating, if you haven’t made changes to your theme files directly (editing your CSS or PHP files) then you would simply delete, then install the new version.

If you have made changes, then of course updating would override those changes and you would have to manually add in the code that was changed in the files. Updating isn’t always necessary since it’s mostly minor modifications to the design. The functionality is still the same between version 1.1 and 1.2

It’s possible to do, but you would have to create the HTML + the CSS to design it since this theme by default doesn’t include that feature.

If you don’t want to spend the time customizing/creating the code for it, then you could use a plugin that would do it automatically – https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=pricing+table

I’m not sure what you’re referring to exactly, but if you’re talking about the Pages generated from the Demo XML file then there’s a solution. I would just set those particular pages to Private so you’re the only person that has the ability to see it (this is so Search Engines don’t pick’em up). That way, you can keep the pages and the content examples while removing it’s visibility to your visitors.

Do you have a link? I can get it figured out once I check it out.

Do you have a link to your site so I can see what needs to be changed for your font colors?

“Is it possible to have the featured image showing next to the excerpt on the summary page?”

If you have an example link to what you’re referring to I can help with that as well.

It looks like it’s working fine, but the reason it looks like that is because your Header (logo/menu) is in a fixed position when scrolling down. Since it is in a fixed position it shows up on top of the area you’re talking about.

If you want to keep the Header as it is, then you can add more margin-top to the .site-inner in your code. To do so, look around line 646 in your style.css file and increase the margin-top from 110px to around 200px –

.site-inner {
	background-color: #fff;
	clear: both;
	margin-top: 200px;
	position: relative;
	z-index: 9;
	-word-wrap: break-word;
}

Here’s how it currently looks – http://i.imgur.com/5tRZDtz.png

And here’s how it will look if you increase the margins above – http://i.imgur.com/ixcuVYW.png

It’s definitely possible, but it would require some custom modifications to your CSS, so that would take a little bit of time to do.

The way the menu already behaves the same way, it’s just styled differently CSS wise. Plus the Aspire theme’s menu turns into a Sticky menu when scrolling down.

Also install the Genesis Connect plugin as well – https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-connect-woocommerce/

It’s possible, but it would take some time to create all of the code necessary to make it work.

You would have to customize your Theme’s PHP & CSS files to make this happen, or you could just hire a Dev to make this customization for you.

You can either remove/comment out line 1231 –

.header-image .light .site-title > a {
	height: 56px;
}

Or you can add this to override it if you plan to add code to a custom area separate from the main CSS file –

.header-image .light .site-title > a {
	height: 76px;
}

Take a look at this thread – https://appfinite.com/topic/replace-front-page-1-image-with-full-width-soliloquy-slider/

If you add the code below, it will shrink the front-page-1 widget area to be limited to 390px –

.front-page-1 .image-section {
    max-height: 390px;
}

You would need to add this to your Responsive Area of your CSS so it works with Mobile Devices.

Yes if you want to make it a fixed header with everything the same size throughout scroll, then *comment out* line 1671 in the style.css file –

.header-image .light .site-title > a {
	/*height: 56px;*/
}

You can still have the rest of the header get smaller with the logo if you wanted to, but if you prefer the header to be the same size then the above code would do it.

You can remove it from the Customizer page.

You can hide the Site Title by adding a logo. Once you add a logo the site title text and description automatically disappears.

This functionality actually has nothing to do with the Child theme (Guru), it’s the Genesis Framework that handles that handles the process of handling the Site Title and Description. The Child Theme just handles the design ON TOP of the Genesis Framework.

If you want it to function like the other users site you linked to, then you would need to “uncomment” the background-attachment: fixed; on line 1504 in your CSS

.front-page-1,
.front-page-4,
.front-page-5,
.front-page-7,
.front-page-9,
.front-page-12 {
	background-attachment: fixed;
	background-position: 50% 0;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	/*-webkit-background-size: cover;
	-moz-background-size:    cover;
	background-size:         cover;*/
}

Then it should function in the same way.

@Abhishek There must be another plugin or something else conflicting with your Theme, because I’m using the same exact theme, with the exact Thumbnail size and mine shows up fine.

Are you already using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin? If not, I’d highly recommend using that. Just download, install, then run the plugin and it automatically adjusts your thumbnails to the size you have set in your settings throughout your site. After you run that plugin, check the sizes again. If that doesn’t work, you’ll probably need to create a temporary login for one of us to take a look at what’s going on in your backend.

Your site loads up fast for me, the only thing that loads slow is the Facebook Banner in your sidebar. If you notice, your site loads up quick, but the Facebook Banner loads last and takes an extra sec to show up. I’m sure things like that affect your “Score”, but as mentioned earlier, you shouldn’t rely on “Scores” 100%. They’re ok for some things, but really don’t add much value.

If you take a look at some of the Big sites out there, you’ll notice they have low/medium scores as well. It will never be perfect, but that doesn’t mean your site isn’t setup properly. That’s why I never use them because are a waste of time for me.

Anyways, once we get your thumbnails fixed, your site will be even faster than what it is.

Let me know if the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin helps/makes a difference. I’m really curious on what is causing it to show up like that. Hopefully we can get this fixed quickly.

@Abhishek I thought I’d chime in since I’m also a Vintage customer and have quite a bit of experience using Genesis and other themes from here.

If your site is displaying Large images that aren’t compressed, then that just means you haven’t selected the right thumbnail size in your settings. If you look at the demo, there are no uncompressed/large images, they are showing up at the same size. You may want to double check thumbnail settings.

Keep in mind, the Vintage theme you’re using doesn’t actually handle the image process, WordPress and the Genesis Framework is responsible for how it handles it. You can however, assign thumbnail sizes that you want to appear in the theme, but WordPress and Genesis are still responsible for how it shows up.

Also, I wouldn’t rely on Google Page Speed, as they have proven to be unreliable, and the scores they give are random and sometimes useless. I’ve tested sites using it and the score would change even when nothing on the site changed. I’ve even tried adjusting some of the things they suggested and it either made no difference, or the score went even lower.

When I visit the Vintage demo, the site loads up perfectly fine. It’s actually pretty quick for me.

Rather than rely on a 3rd party like Google or any other speed tester, I’d just clear your browser cache, and load up your site to test the speed manually (since your visitors will be doing that anyways). If it takes too long to load, then obviously there’s something slowing it down. If it’s loading up fast on your end, then it’s most likely loading fast for everyone else.

Remember to double check your thumbnail settings, as you’ll need to select the sizes you want to appear. By the way, what’s the link to your site? I can look at your code and see which thumbnails need to be changed.

Yes that’s exactly where you would need to do it. Just be careful that you don’t leave any errors since PHP errors cause your site to go down and become inaccessible without FTP.

If I were you I’d use an external editor so you can simply undo any mistakes you make. There’s no “undo” when using the WordPress editor. So definitely use FTP if at all possible.

To create a link add this and replace it with your own url –
<a href="http://google.com">Text Goes Here</a>

To add a button using the button classes/code that comes with the theme’s CSS file –

<a href="http://google.com" class="button large">Text Goes Here</a>

Replace large with medium, or small. You can look in your CSS file in the Buttons section to see all of the different styles.

HTML code works the same on any Theme or Website. You can learn the basics or search for specific code here – http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_basic.asp

Everything is working perfectly fine on my end.

“Zooming in”, is not something that people do occasionally when viewing sites, so I wouldn’t worry about that since it’s not really an issue.

When you do “Zoom In” on websites, all sites have the exact same result/response. It’s definitely not something you should be concerned about, and I don’t think it would be wise to design your code around a page being zoomed in, as it will be off and inconsistent with all of the visitors who you view your site regularly. Plus most visitors to your site won’t be zooming in to view your content anyways.

Your design is looking pretty nice! You should send Wes an email or let him know about it. I think he’s building a showcase section, but I’ve also noticed he shares customer links on Twitter.
