I’m not sure what I’m looking at….is that how it’s showing up? Do you have a link to your site so I can take a look at the source code?
Genesis already provides their own SEO options included with the Framework itself so you wouldn’t need to download any additional plugins….unless you wanted to use something other than Genesis.
To get to the SEO options just look in your admin section under Genesis > SEO Settings
Also, each page/post provides a section where you can adjust the SEO options per page.
You drag the Genesis Featured posts widget to the widget area you want it to show up in.
@cmolchany You could just add a basic <div>
around your adsense code (if possible) so then you an also add a class to it which you can then style from your css. Although, since adsense code usually has a set defined width, it may or may not resize….which is a problem if the space you have it in is too small and not wide enough to properly display the entire ad.
I haven’t used adsense in a long time so I’m not sure if Google gives the option to adjust the size to what you want, or if they allow the ads to resize according to the size of the space it’s located in.
Personally I just use the default SEO that comes with Genesis since it works perfectly fine. Adding too many plugins has always complicated things for especially when the features were unnecessary…..this was just my experience though. If the yoast plugin is causing issues then I would uninstall it until you figure out where the issue was coming from exactly.
Yes that’s correct, you should be able to do something similar by using the Genesis Featured Posts widget. You have to add that widget to a widget area and set it up in the widget settings.
I’ve spent about 30 min trying everything and I can’t figure out what it is!
No worries, I will try again early tomorrow. This is the first time I’ve ever seen this happen and I’ve been using WordPress/Genesis since the beginning. I am really curious what this could possibly be. I’m sure it must be something simple that I am missing (it could be right in front of my eyes).
I’ll let you know tomorrow once I take a fresh look at things.
Are you sure you don’t have anything added in your content? Because the image appears to be showing up in your content when I look at your source code. It doesn’t show up as a featured image, but it does show up as an image added inside of your content when looking at the raw source code.
Can you check your post content when you click the “text” tab in your post editor? Let me know if you see some code there that shouldn’t be there. If you want to create a temp user, I can login and check everything out.
No problem, we all start from somewhere. Glad I could help!
Take a look at your WordPress Admin Profile page, and scroll until you find the Author section. Add your title and description and check the box that says – "Enable Author Box on this User's Posts?"
there are other options you can check out on the same page as well.
Hi, do you have a link to your site so I can see what’s going on?
Yes, if you edit line 1316 in your css you can change the color from there –
.welcome-wide {
background: #303236;
clear: both;
}
You can use an online color picker to find out the exact color code you’ll need to replace the above.
Hi, what’s the link to your site?
The style.css file is the only css file in the Epik theme. If you have a link I can take a look at what the issue might be.
It looks like you’re having the same issue as this thread – https://appfinite.com/topic/logo-centered-in-mobile/#post-13682 and what eric suggested should help get it working.
I looked at the first link and it looks like you’re adding inline css code for your buttons. That could be what’s causing the issue if there not showing up right in mobile devices.
For your logo, I would remove some of the extra space on the side (right side) so it is perfectly centered when viewing it. Once you do that to the image itself (using Photoshop or whatever you use) then we can make it show up in the middle when viewed in mobile devices and it won’t get cutoff.
Since the code used for that section is the same for all the other sections I would add a custom css change so it will only affect that particular area. You can add this for example –
.hf4 .wrap {
padding-top: 30px;
}
Then you can adjust that number if you need it to increase/decrease.
Hi, do you have a link to your site?
Yes I would use px instead. It’s much easier to deal with, and that’s what most people are using anyways.
Yes, in your css change the .title-area
to float: right;
and the .site-header .widget-area
to float: left;
.
Look for line 2302 in your style.css file of your theme and remove the background: none;
.home .entry {
box-shadow: none;
-moz-box-shadow: none;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
background: none;
}
Removing that will allow the white background to show up on your homepage
If you can provide a link to your site (not a screenshot or image) then I can see exactly whats going on. I’m sure it will be a quick fix but the only way to know is with a link.
The slider-wide section is set to 100% width, so you could change that part to a fixed size like this –
.slider-wide {
clear: both;
margin: auto;
width: 1140px;
}
But you’ll probably want something behind that as it will show up in the middle and leave white empty space on the sides depending on which size browser you’re viewing from.
No, most Genesis child themes (from Appfinite, StudioPress, etc) do not come with short codes, it’s for a good reason though. If you’re interested in why that is, check out this link – http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/05/02/dealing-with-shortcode-madness they are simply saying that themes shouldn’t have short codes because it messes a lot of things up when a user switches themes and they still have all of these posts/pages/widgets etc with shortcodes that don’t display anything but brackets and text.
Yes there are plugins that offer short codes, which should work even if you switch your theme. You can search the WP.org repository, or you can search a site like Code Canyon for premium plugins.
Also, if you’re trying to add buttons, they have a tutorial on their demo here – http://demo.appfinite.net/optimal/buttons/ It’s in HTML, but it’s simple enough where anyone can do it. Plus you have a bit more control over it that way.
To increase the font size look at line 1532 in your style.css –
.genesis-nav-menu {
color: #ccc;
font-size: 14px;
font-size: 0.875rem;
font-weight: 700;
letter-spacing: 1px;
letter-spacing: 0.1rem;
line-height: 1.5;
}
The widget title can be found on line 941 –
.sidebar .widgettitle {
font-size: 14px;
font-size: 0.875rem;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
For the spacing on the homepage, take a look at line 1754 –
.entry {
margin-bottom: 40px;
margin-bottom: 2.5rem;
padding: 0 0 24px;
padding: 0 0 1.5rem;
}
Since they use px and rem for padding/margin and font sizes, you’ll need to change both the px and rem size. I would erase the rem and adjust the px to figure out what size you need, and then go to a site like this – https://offroadcode.com/prototypes/rem-calculator/ to figure out the equivalent size in rem.
In the future you may want to split up your questions into separate threads since that’s part of Appfinite’s rules here to make everything easier to search – https://appfinite.com/topic/forum-rules/
I watched a couple of your videos by the way, and I’m loving it! I can definitely relate to this one – http://lanceweiss.com/do-you-ever/ Keep up the good work!
Which part of your header are you adjusting exactly? What’s the link to your site? I can assist better if I can see your site.
I’ve seen a couple posts here that explain how to do this. If you search from the main forum page you’ll find them. Here is the one that helped me – https://appfinite.com/topic/float-primary-nav-right/#post-7709 ….there are more, but you can search for them if you need more info.
It’s not a theme issue so I’m not sure what to suggest. If I were you, I would contact the plugin developers so they can help you figure out whats going on. They will be able to help much better than any of us can since it’s their plugin.
Adding “background-position: center;” helps center the image since it is a background image.
No this doesn’t have anything to with the theme, its most likely the plugin itself. There is nothing inside the theme that affects plugin functionality. You may want to check the admin email of WP, and then check your Spam just in case it’s going there. If that doesn’t work, contact the plugin developers since they are the only one’s who will know whats going on.
Which part isn’t showing exactly? Because it looks like its working for me. Usually it’s recommended to add “z-index” for situations like this, but everything looks ok to me. Let me know if I’m missing something.
It looks like it might require some javascript coding since its not as easy as “opening in a new regular sized window”. You can search for it on Google to see a lot of tutorials on it if that helps – https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Open+Link+in+New+Small+Window
Keep in mind, one particular way may not work for every browser. Each browser may have their own requirements.
I googled and came across this – http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/101647/how-to-change-title-search-results-for-in-search-results-page-of-genesis
Does your theme have a widget area for this? If not, then you may want to search for a tutorial that explains how to add one. Here is one that helped me – http://www.carriedils.com/add-widget-area-below-nav/
Did you update the portfolio code in your functions file? I noticed that the code there and the portfolio file was all updated with the HTML5 function names.
@Terence is this from Brian Gardner’s tutorial? Or somewhere else? I have a client that is interested in having something like this on their site.
