Wes…I bought the them from YOU…not from StudioPress…so how do I get the update?
Raffaele,
I looked at your blog, and clicked each blog to see each entire blog post, and I don’t see a problem…I could see a comment field in every one of them.*GeoUser*
That’s a grest-looking web site there.

I took a look and sorry to say but it looks like the problem is still going on. Here’s a link to a screenshot from five minutes ago.

I’m sorry I’m not any kind of expert so can’t really help figure out the problem, but I’m happy to continue testing this with you any time.

Looks like changing the size of the graphic helped…I’m happy about that.
But there’s another problem…and I saw this earlier before you resized the graphic. Here’s a link to a screenshot I made…it looks this way in Macintosh Chrome browser and Macintosh Firebox browser…on my Macintosh…something looks “off”…but I have no idea if that’s just peculiar to my system or if there’s actually a problem.

Did I mess it up??? #18673I hope I won’t confuse the issue further for you…but I took a look at your site (both versions) using the Macintosh Chrome browser, and I see the white edges on both of your site versions…the old and the new.
I checked the size of your header graphic (black background with those selfie pictures) and see that it measures 1600 x 1050 pixels.
The theme documentation seems to recommend setting these background images at 1800 x 1200 pixels.
I don’t know…but I’m just wondering if this might be part of the problem.

Wes,
That worked perfectly. Thanks so much for your excellent help. I really do appreciate it.
Christian
Thanks, Wes…very helpful. I thought maybe it was something like that, but had no idea where to look to change the code…so I’ll give it a try. THANK YOU!!!!!
Christian
Thanks, Wes. 馃檪
Hi Wes,
Thanks for the note.
Maybe I’m missing something, but I’ve looked on your Facebook page and your Twitter page, but don’t see anything about this.
I’m still wondering if the version I’m using (1.1.2) is the most recent version…or if there is a newer version how to I get it?
Thanks for your help.
Christian
The Genesis Simple Edits plugin will do the job.

Jonathon,
Maybe I don’t know what you mean when you say “full width” but I followed your link, and the page I came to totally fills my browser window…I mean it looks like “full width” to me.*GeoUser*
Great that it’s all OK now. 馃檪

Looks like you got the “essays” problem fixed. When I looked the other day, I saw the problem in the top left corner of the page, but now that’s disappeared.
Just curious how you fixed that.
*GeoUser*
For those who view your site with a fast Internet connection, your site may seem to load quickly….but for most people, there’s going to be a problem…because the images in your slider are way too big.
For example…I downloaded one of the images and it weighs in at 1.7MB. That’s huge.
I re-saved that image as a JPEG file and compressed it to a moderate degree, and was able to get it down to approximately 150KB…which is only about 10 percent of your original…which means it will load a *lot* faster…and for all practical purposes the smaller JPEG looks just as good as your original.
As Andykev said, most people will not wait for all that stuff to load.
If you’re not sure how to optimize your images, just Google something like “optimize images for web”…and you’ll get a lot of helpful information.

Nate,
Considering that I am far from any kind of expert, you should be skeptical of what I say…but I looked at your page, and think I might see the problem.
If you change the .head-wrap bottom margin from “40px” to “0px” in the code I pasted here it would do what you want.
.head-wrap {
background: #303236;
margin: 0 0 40px;
}*GeoUser*
Thanks for “unlocking” it…now I can see it.
It’s good that you got the images lined up the way you want them now…but I don’t have a suggestion for a better way of doing it.
A recent problem I had regarding padding and margins, I got advice on a different forum that fixed the problem…but later Wes (the designer of all the Appfinite themes) came along in this forum and gave me a much better solution, so I hope that will happen with your question.
When I went to look at your two examples, the first link worked OK, but the second link (http://nimb.ws/FEDqdz) locks me out…so I can’t see what you’re talking about.
Like Scooby I’m on a Macintosh, and so can’t view your site in Internet Explorer, but I can tell you that for many years Internet Explorer has been a major problem for web designers, going back to way before the days before people were using WordPress.
You might drive yourself crazy trying to get all aspects of your site to work correctly on IE, especially the older versions.
Microsoft decided to use their own “standards” with Internet Explorer, and never did get around to fixing all the problems that caused.
Hi Wes,
Thanks so much for coming in and helping with this. I like your solution, and it works great…I put the code in as you suggested, and everything is great now. Thanks again for your help.Thanks to anyone who looked at this and tried to figure it out…of course it was way beyond anything I could figure out myself. After waiting quite awhile, I went over to the StudioPress forum and Tom gave me some code that would work…and interestingly enough, Tom said he couldn’t see where the gap was coming from either, but the code he gave me used a negative margin setting that closed it up anyway.
So no problem now…thanks.
Hello,
I’m back again with another problem. I’m a print designer who occasionally creates web sites, and my “coding skills” aren’t the greatest, and so when I noticed the gaps at top and bottom of my large image, it took awhile for me to determine what was causing the gaps, but I managed to find the padding and margin settings that were causing the gaps, and I altered my styles.css file to alleviate the problem.
My changes seem to have totally eliminated the gap at the top of my large image. And my changes eliminated *part* of the gap below the large image.
But there is still a bit of a gap below the large image, and no matter now hard I look, I can’t see the reason for the gap being there.
Not sure what to do next…can you help, please? Thanks.
This reply has been marked as private.AndyKev…thanks for the additional note. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get the padding straightened out. My pea brain can only handle so much excitement in one day. 馃檪
Andykev,
You’re a lifesaver…thanks again for helping.
It didn’t occur to me that the image should be larger…I thought maybe it should just be the size of the slider images, which I thought I saw a note somewhere that the recommended size for that was 1140px wide.
So I set up a new image to 1980px wide, as you suggested, and added the other things you mentioned, and now it looks like it’s working.
Is there a setup guide for this theme that explains things like that? I’ve looked at the “sticky note” things here, but don’t remember seeing anything about that.
OK, so it’s working now…thanks again.
Hi Andykev,
Thanks for the additional note. After I started looking at it, I realized that I didn’t have to do anything with the CSS…so that was good.
Then I set up an image at 1140 x 440 pixels, and added it into the “SliderWide” widget…and changed the width from “1140” to “100%”…but obviously I’m doing it wrong, because even though the image appears on the page, it doesn’t get wider as the browser window gets wider. Not sure what I should do next.
If it helps, heres the URL:
http://moodyriver.comThanks for any help.
Hello Andykev,
Thanks so much for this information, and for the CSS stuff. I’ll go and see if I can figure out what to do with it all, and I’ll let you know. Thanks again for putting this together for me…thank you. -
