Since this was about a week ago I hadn’t heard an ETA, I thought I’d inquire again. Any update on the timing on the release of the Optimal 1152 format?

Related: I will likely need some help with the specific changes I want to make in the release. Do you have a ‘verified’ or ‘approved’ list of devs here, you know, like they do at StudioPress for their themes?

Thanks.

@scooby thx, I’ll triple check my stuff there and see what happens. @kronos, agreed, I like that about Genesis, as well as what I’ve seen so far with Appfinite.

Thanks guys, I’m looking forward to the 1152 updates from Wes before I dig any farther into this.

Wow. That’s Awesome. Will Optimal be one of the themes to go to the 1152 framework? This is exactly what I am struggling with now. I have been rushing to implement Optimal as a new theme prior to a product launch May 1,with lots of forced learning along the way. 🙂

If I finish basic implementation of the new theme, will I be adversely affected by the redesign when I update?

I look forward to your updates. Really glad to have stumbled upon your work, and I’ll happily buy Epik in the near future for another project.

Thanks!

Hmm. OK, I know enough about basic css to be dangerous, 🙂 but I know nothing about responsive css. I’m not sure I’d know where to start? I guess I’ll await your theme mods and then regroup on this issue.

Thanks!

Aha. Found it.

For future reference, the plugin Genesis Layout Extras has a setting which allows you to override the Default layout and force a content/sidebar EVEN if the sidebar is Unregistered in the child theme.

Options are to either deactivate the plugin or reset to the default genesis layout for the home page, which will then render without the primary sidebar for this theme.

Only thing left unanswered is COULD I leave that Genesis Primary sidebar on the home page, if I were to increase the theme width, and still have it work in a responsive environment?

Thanks.

Will do. Using the hard and fast rule, numbers stay as numbers, percentages as percentages. I went to public schools, but my math is still pretty good, 🙂 so I should be able to come up with the correct application. Trying it out now.

Thanks again, your response times on support are fantastic!

Right, I saw that last night – I read a vast majority of the forum as I am getting up to speed on the theme. 🙂

That information is what lead me to use ‘tag_id’ instead of category. My question was more related to the sorting aspect, and whether there was a way to sort outside of the default ‘newest-to-oldest’ (and thereby needing to manipulate timestamps to get the desired result).

Thanks.

That’s interesting, because they are absolutely there. I do have some content in every ‘home’ widget, so that’s not it. I have a gazillion plugins on this sandbox, so that might be it. But more importantly, I was really just wondering if there was a conflict in keeping them (Primary only, I unregistered Secondary).

If I change the theme width as I’m contemplating, I could make it work. I just want to make sure there is no inherent conflict with the theme/widget structure of the child theme before I proceed.

Thank you.

Kinda sorta make sense. Let me make sure I’m thinking correctly.

Say I want to change to base width to 1152. I change #inner to that. Now, can I make #content “73%” or do I have to make it “840”? And within that, can I then make home-featured-sidebar “16%” and home-section “80%”, or do I have to do the “134” and “672”?

I could take this example out further, but hopefully it provides an understanding of my questions. So if I change a place that has a number to a percentage like I was thinking above, that invalidates the responsive rendering? I must keep numbers as numbers and % as %?

Thanks for the timely support.

With respect to this issue, I followed the plugin link, and many WP portfolio plugins create an entire portfolio structure. I would just like to sort based on the theme’s existing portfolio capabilities.

I used your query_args tutorial (thank you) to get me started on the Port page. My question would be is it possible to addend that value entry to sort. e,g, ” tag_id=24″&sort=ASC ” that sort of thing? (pun intended) 🙂

Thanks.
