Thanks, Andykev. We might actually check that out for our blog and podcast. We’re going a little smaller and less obvious on our business site (at my wife and business partner’s request) but I really do like the plugin.

I think my main goal right now is to try to figure out how to lower those two icons, or if there’s a better place to put them in the theme other than secondary nav.

Thanks!

Hey Wes,
Thanks for helping out. Yeah, that old site was built by a web designer about 6 years ago, and it’s an outdated mess. Those old icons were a single image map, and the whole thing was custom HTML and CSS, and a weird mix of a plugin called “magic fields.”

We do like most of the overall look of the previous site, but I love Epik and am rebuilding the entire thing from scratch on your theme.

So everything I’m doing is “hacking” to kind of get it close. I had tried a few approaches (like adding the icons to the header area with simple hooks) but nothing seemed to be real close. Putting it in the secondary nav and styling it with icons was about as close as I was able to get without ripping everything apart.

If there’s a way to move it down a bit, even if I can’t get it perfectly where it was, I think I’d call it a day.

Any thoughts you have welcome, and thank you again. I’m a huge fan of your theme, and use it on two other sites (and that’s why I’m slogging my way through redoing our main company site on your framework — just love Epik!)

Never mind — for anyone else who reads this, when I looked at the genesis markup guide I realized .site_container was what I was looking for. Thanks!

Thanks, that totally fixed it!

All the best,
Biagio

Thanks, Eric! I was under the impression that if I did that it would still show old comments, but I just tried it and indeed, it does the same thing the plugin I was using did, by removing all trace of comments.

Thanks!

Okay, I’ve gone live with my new site but the author box is still wrong.

I don’t recall every styling it to have a blackish bg with the white text. I notice in the current Epik demo that the author box appears to be white. Did this change in Epik 1.3? If it did, can you advise how to possibly change it back?

Thanks!
Biagio

UPDATE — Okay, I got things layed out right, the only problems I’m still having are:

1. I can’t figure out how to target the img so that there is some padding around the images.
2. I can’t figure out how to target the post name so that I can make it bigger.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Kronos! Will give it a shot. Appreciate the reply.

Thanks for looking Scooby. I just got it working a couple hours ago. I threw a couple divs at it (literally, I’m not great at CSS) and copied and pasted some code from different places in the code until it looked right. I’ll probably have some more questions but for the moment I think I fixed this one. Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks you — the css trick at the end fixed it.

Appreciate the help!

Also, I did a fresh wordpress install, only installing geneis, epik, and genesis simple hooks. The only thing I did was add three graphics in the welcome area as per the tutorial, but it looks like this:

Is this perhaps a bug in the theme?

Thanks,

Thanks, Eric. I’m also on a Mac. If you take your browser and make the window a little smaller, it will all “snap” into place. I’m googling the priority thing now, but if you can take a peek with a smaller window and see if that gives you any isight that would mean the world.

Best,
Biagio

Thanks and sorry for the 2 questions, will break things up in the future.

Going to re-ask one now.

Best,
Biagio
