Eric

Where exactly are you trying to add h1 tags?

Yes this can definitely be done. I can’t remember any example sites, but I do know it’s possible to do. You can set the Portfolio as the homepage in your WP admin settings page.

Hello Ike, do you have a link to your site so I can check it out?

You could either add word-wrap: break-word; to the .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu a in your css –

.genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu a {
    background-color: #222;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 20px;
    position: relative;
    word-wrap: break-word;
    width: 200px;
}

Or you could increase the width in that same code above ^

There are a lot of tutorials out there for adding search to your menu. If you do a Google search you’ll see some pop up.

Here are a couple –

I’d probably remove the parallax features if that’s what you’re trying to do. They can be accessed from the front-page.php file.

I would also shrink the image to a smaller size. Last time I checked it was around 8000px….try and aim for a round 1800px width and 1200px height….doesn’t have to be this exactly, but start there.

To show the entire image height…..you’d need to add more space inside the widget area so it shows more of the background. You can do this by either adding padding for that particular widget background….or you could add a minimum height to that widget area. Both ways should work.

Oh yes, you mean like this – http://demo.appfinite.net/guru/

To do this, you can add this to your style.css file –

background-attachment: fixed;

Just add it to the widget area that you plan to use it for. I could tell you the exact line in your css to adjust, but the link you’re posting doesn’t seem to work whenever I click it.

Closing since this is a Duplicate Post.

You can continue on your original thread started here – https://appfinite.com/topic/image-takes-up-whole-widget/

If you have any trouble replying (example: if the Reply box doesn’t show up), just hit your reload button on your browser and the fields should show up again. Here is more info just in case – https://appfinite.com/topic/having-trouble-logging-in/

Are you just trying to shrink the content area or the entire site all together? If it’s just the Content area, then you could adjust the .full-width-content .content in your CSS like this –

.full-width-content .content {
    float: none;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: 80%;
}

That removes the float, centers it, and decreases the width by 20%. If that’s what you want, you can decrease the width even more if you need to.

@Terri, you could still add featured posts/pages if you wanted to. All you would have to do is add a little bit of css to make them float on the side of each other.

Sorry for the late response, I have no idea why I’m not getting notifications….probably something to do with my email.

I looked at the link now and it appears to be working. Did you get this fixed? It’s looking good on my end.

Do you have a link to your site? There must be a way to have it set to a certain size. I could take a look and see if it’s possible with CSS

No you don’t need a license or any other plugin in order to make Epik work. That video you’re talking about wasn’t created by Appfinite, that is a 3rd party plugin that someone made, but you don’t need it for Epik.

The tutorials to get Epik setup and working are located at the top of the Epik Forum page here – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/

You can use this link in order to import all the widget content from the Epik demo automatically – https://appfinite.com/topic/easy-way-to-setup-the-epik-homepage-in-one-click/ …you can add them in manually if you want to, there are tutorials that help with that.

“Wow…over a year with no response!”

LOL I guess not too many people have used that plugin with that particular theme. Either that or they haven’t seen this particular post.

Anyways, I have the plugin and it will work with pretty much any theme sold on this site. All you have to do is set it up and add it to a widget area. Pretty easy 🙂

If you haven’t bought it already, see if they have a refund policy so if you do decide to purchase the plugin and you don’t like it, then you can get your money back. But it definitely works with the theme.

Here it is with Appfinite’s Ally theme – http://demo.appfinite.net/ally/

I just took a look at that page, but it seems to be working? I’m guessing you got it fixed, or am I missing something?

I’m looking at the button that says “Book Voice Talent”….which is showing up blue

<a class="button large loyelblue" hreff="book-voice-talent">Book Voice Talent</a>

It seems to work even if the !important is removed, so the way you did it should work fine in the future if you want to create new button colors.

Sorry about that, I didn’t see your reply.

It would actually be better to add that image as a Background image in your CSS rather than an inline image. If you make it a background image in your css, then it will adjust to your browser size and there should be no white space.

Do a search for .slider-wide in your css file and add it like this –

.slider-wide {
    background: url(http://www.talkingapemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/TAM-Homepage-Photo-0001-2280pixels-cropped.jpg);
    clear: both;
    width: 100%;
}

I’m not the admin 🙂 but the file is located inside your theme folder. Have you checked it yet?

Also, check out the Tutorials on the Epik forum page (first several sticky posts at the top). This tutorial specifically shows how to add the widget content on the homepage to look exactly like the demo – https://appfinite.com/topic/easy-way-to-setup-the-epik-homepage-in-one-click/

WordPress by default can only upload XML data like Posts, Pages, Menus, etc….but it won’t upload the Widget content on the homepage of the Epik theme, so you can use that plugin to automatically add them in if you want to.

Be sure to take a look at all the other tutorials as well.

You can find the XML file inside your theme folder. Just unzip the theme file and you’ll see it inside the theme.

Hi, do you have a link? I can check out what’s going on.

Hi!

The thing is we would really need a link in order to see what’s going on…..otherwise there’s no way we would know. Also, if you are having an issue with a 3rd Party plugin that wasn’t created by Appfinite, then you would need to contact the Original Plugin developer in order to get a solution to your issue. Since most of us here in the community are most likely unfamiliar with that particular plugin, it would definitely be better to speak with the Plugin Creator to get a solution for this.

You have to have the Genesis Responsive Slider Plugin Installed in order for that to work. That widget importer just imports what the demo uses. So if you don’t have the Genesis Responsive Slider installed, then it won’t show up on it’s own, you need to install it first. So Install and Activate the slider and then it should work as long as you have everything installed properly.

The slider wide is a full width widget which means you can add an image or video and it will reach both ends of your browser regardless of how wide your browser is. The Slider widget is set at 1140px width, so it won’t go beyond 1140px in the center of the site/browser.

@mjones@ravecommunications.com Can you try disabling all of your plugins and taking a look to see if it works then? That’s usually what it is, as long as you haven’t added any Custom PHP code to your theme.

So if you haven’t added any custom code to your theme, it could possibly be a plugin that is interfering with what you are trying to do.

@tlctara AH! Somehow we replied at the same time! Where did you purchase the theme from? If you purchased from StuioPress, then you can download it from your account. If you purchased from here (Appfinite) then you can download it from here – https://appfinite.com/my-account

Do a Google Search for “Jquery Smooth Scrolling” that’s the exact terms you’ll need to look for when searching for that type of effect. Since the theme doesn’t come with that feature, you’ll have to add it yourself as a customization. I’m sure there are some WordPress plugins that do it automatically for you, but you could also manually do it by adding code in yourself if you want.

Here is an example – https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-smooth-scroll/ But you can do a search on Google or WordPress.org if you want more options or plugins.

It looks like the customizations that you’ve made to the theme have caused the issues that you are experiencing. When you make customizations to a theme and there are errors, it creates issues on your website. Do you have a list of what you’ve edited so you can go back and adjust what didn’t work?

The logo isn’t showing up because the image/link doesn’t link to any images. That’s why it’s not showing anything.

Also, I’m not seeing the issue of the “Essays” word appearing on your website. I checked some pages but none of them had that word/error displayed on any of them.
