Sorry it took me a while to get that to this. I had tried making a stab at this and also tried again but to no avail. I can only break the connection or the site. Thanks for looking at this and again, I apologize for my late return reply.
That seems to work fine for me using Ally. I’ll have to make a note of this. Thanks, so much!!
Wes, do you know a way I could manually add a link inside the excerpt I add that links to its page from the archive, something like
<a href="get_page_url">[Read More...]"</a>OR
is there a way to get the content limit to keep from discarding the formatting so that line breaks, links, CSS rules, etc remain in effect?
When I shrink the window size down, the menu disappears totally behind the slider. I tried adding Z-index rules, changed position to relative, even tried absolute (all using Firebug) and I can’t figure out a fix for you.
I wonder if this has something to do with your slider. If it were me, I’d try the Genesis Reponsive slider and see if that displays the same. Each of your images would then have to be featured images on posts of a designated category, but I find that slider would easily handle what your current slider does for you.
Eric, are you hired by AppFinite? If you’re not and you like the rest of us, just here to help as we can, then please accept my apologies.
If you read what I have written, you can see that I have followed your suggestions, at least as best as I can understand. I have reported on the results as well.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong either. I need help from someone who can tell that. Is there someone there who can tell me that? If there isn’t, then I need to quit asking for help.
Yes, Eric, it is a “conversion” from the “former version of Ally”. Trouble is, we’re not ok since the portfolio page for some reason is not responding to the content limit I have set in the Genesis Theme Settings.
And I have tried what you suggested replacing “all the code” in both functions.php and in page_portfolio.php, but unfortunately that breaks the styling of all pages.
I really hope to find just the code that revitalizes the portfolio page’s ability to recognize the content limit. It did before the conversion and I would like to fix this issue.
Eric, sorry if I’m asking for things you don’t support. Can you post the specific code lines you’re talking about?
The code you mentioned in the thread related to portfolio (in Epik) is this
<p><?php _e("Display which category:", 'genesis'); ?> <?php wp_dropdown_categories(array('selected' => genesis_get_option('epik_portfolio_cat'), 'name' => GENESIS_SETTINGS_FIELD.'[epik_portfolio_cat]', 'orderby' => 'Name' , 'hierarchical' => 1, 'show_option_all' => __("All Categories", 'genesis'), 'hide_empty' => '0' )); ?></p>This was to have the category options display in the Genesis Theme Settings panel of the admin area. But that is working fine. That’s not what is broken.
I do remember and did check that thread. That was regarding a missing segment of code from an earlier version of a different theme, Epik, which predated the changeover to Genesis 2.0 and HTML5 activation. In that thread’s issue, the choice of category selection was missing in the admin panel.
https://appfinite.com/topic/no-category-selection-in-portfolio-settings/BTW, I also checked to see that that particular code is present, plus more relating to the portfolio functions that came with Ally, in fact.
The issue here is different. It’s with portfolio page displaying full content rather than content limit and only since the activation of HTML5.
Is there a tech person available to look at my issue? Sorry, I don’t get what I’m missing.
Answer is “no” and that’s probably the missing line(s) of code. I don’t know what I should do. I could download the new version of Ally and start looking for differences but I’m not a PHP guru and am not sure what would allow the functionality I seek to return to while also not breaking the site.
Thanks, Eric. That took care of the issue.
Well, take it all back. Now, it is working as expected, converted and styled correctly. Very strange but nonetheless, resolved.
I had to revert back to the original which is here,
http://ouibis.com/mandoSymmetry/Also, the code above, taken from http://www.briangardner.com/code/add-html5-markup/ veer from what I had used before which was
//* Add HTML5 markup structure
add_theme_support( ‘genesis-html5’ );but neither would convert and the site was wonky. No microdata, no new tags.
Genesis Theme settings, enable Primary Navigation. In Epik, this appears below header.
Genesis Theme settings, enable Secondary Navigation. In Epik, this appears above header.
Appearance/Widgets/HeaderRight – add custom menu widget for the default display as in Epik demo.
June 18, 2013 at 6:54 am in reply to: How to add Genesis bread crumbs to the end of each page and post? #5357I’m sorry that I’m unable to reply more thoroughly than my first post. I don’t use Jetpack so I can’t help you with the exact positioning in relation to the Jetpack Share Buttons. Back to what I suggested, I would try leaving out the remove_action line and simply add the add_action line (using a local editor, for safety’s sake of course, then uploading) and see if that doesn’t do what you like, i.e. showing in both places. My first example worked for me. If any other viewers have suggestions, please jump in.
I find that in Chrome, which is a faster browser, that transitions are much smoother than in Firefox. I think I would look at the file size of the image you’re uploading. Do the pixel measurements match what your Genesis Responsive Slider is set for? Also, with Genesis Responsive slider, if you change your slider settings, sometimes it helps if you re-upload your featured images. I think the actual file size is large because it takes quite a while for the page to load. You can check that at tools.pingdom.com
You can see there that your homepage-images-1button03.png and its counterparts are pretty big. They’re PNGS so they’re relatively lossless.
If you were to use JPGs there and not superimpose the text with an image but rather take the post content-limit and work on the styling to get the transparent dark background, you’ll have mush smoother transitions.
Check these:

This was indeed missing. I see your example is taken from Legacy. Is this supposed to also come with Epik? Why not my copy?
This is the answer to my first question on this thread.
June 16, 2013 at 1:11 pm in reply to: How to add Genesis bread crumbs to the end of each page and post? #5315It’s showing at the top currently, right? If not you enable it in the Genesis Theme Settings for home page, pages, posts etc.
To get it do display at the bottom, you will need to make changes to the functions.php file. While you can do this in the admin area, you should not. Rather, you should download functions.php to your computer, make changes, then upload the file. If your site breaks, which it easily can do, you can revert your changes to the file on your computer, then upload that file to bring your site back. Otherwise, your entire site can be rendered non-functional.
So in the functions.php file on your computer using Dreamweaver, Notepad, Text Wrangler, or BB Edit (or the like) add this to the bottom to move your currently activated breadcrumbs to the bottom of your posts and pages:
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag
//* Reposition the breadcrumbs
remove_action( ‘genesis_before_loop’, ‘genesis_do_breadcrumbs’ );
add_action( ‘genesis_after_loop’, ‘genesis_do_breadcrumbs’ );HI Eric. Did Wes respond?
FWIW, I went to another one of my sites build on Epik. It has the same issue. Although I haven’t used a portfolio page on this site, the category selector window is missing. These sites use different hosting services but are started with the same files.
The option to select a category is definitely missing.
http://dentonbanter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/optimal-vs-epik.png
I’m trying to find a way to make this work in Epik as it does in Legacy, Optimal, Ally. That is my simple goal.
From your link above, Wes writes: Currently, the portfolio options allow you to select all categories or one specific category to be displayed.
This is the case with Legacy, Ally, and Optimal. So I would hope to be able to have this consistent with Epic. There is something missing or something added so could you advise me or ask Wes?
If I add CSS:
.header-image #title, .header-image #title a, .header-image #title-area {
min-height: 120px;
width: 300px;
}It works in FF.
My code above appears to work, at least in the browsers I have on hand which doesn’t include any versions of IE.
Using “none” as you mention or “0s” as I mention both produce the same results. My version doesn’t single out the Next/Prev buttons, so it also removes the effect from the navigation bullets. All this is while transitions for image, button, and link hovers stay in effect.
I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s “the plugin”. This will occur anytime an element uses a single sprite image and positioning on hover. So it’s really a combination of the broadly applied rule in Epik’s style.css line 149:
a,
a:visited,
button,
input[type=”button”],
input[type=”submit”],
.btn {
-moz-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;
-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;
transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;
}I found that this rule applied to the slider’s elements works to mitigate the motion:
.flex-direction-nav li a, .flex-control-nav li a {
-moz-transition: 0s;
-webkit-transition: 0s;
transition: 0s;
}This allows for the slider’s intended hover states.
Same rules used with Ally, Legacy, and Optimal themes behave differently. Those you point out don’t govern animation.
Is there some javascript with Epik that might be bleeding over and causing the bouncing ball effect?
I can add CSS to adjust this but I’m not fond of the bouncing balls and having to engineer a way to imitate what is present in your other themes.
<h2>I would really appreciate a way to turn this off. </h2>
My link above should be updated as the site is live: http://www.miernikdesign.com/hot-rod-art-for-sale/
Just out of curiosity, if you add
#content .portfolio {height: 325px}
to your style.css file, does that fix it? (You might need a different pixel height…also I don’t know what other ramifications that might cause but it worked for my needs).
That did what I was asking for but not what I actually needed. But I did get a clue in the tutorial link you sent that indicated that I was missing something which was the simple selection in Genesis Theme Settings / Content Archives —choose “Numeric”.
You should include an IQ test in your login form that would automatically redirect these sorts of questions to a “Read the Instructions” page.
Actually, it would be cool to have a method specific for the Portfolio pages but that really isn’t necessary for this particular project. The mentioned selection takes care of all my immediate needs. I also searched for the answer but didn’t come across this site, so thanks for that resource as well.
Thanks for your help.
Well, if you run into it again with anyone else, I think it’s an issue related the height of the divs and possibly tied to the number of characters or words in the content that’s restricted.
I added #content .portfolio {height: 325px} and that fixed it, at least for now. I’ll watch.
Well, it works now. Perhaps I had the wrong category number…not sure. Thanks. It appears to work as expected.
Yes that is what I tried to no avail .
I found one solution. I added !important to line 1348
.post-image {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
border: 1px solid #eee;
padding: 4px !important;
}I wonder if I caused this behavior by with a rule somewhere, maybe removing a border or something.
Great. But one little thing now. When I hover, the image shrinks. I like the fading, which still is active but the width looks like it eases to about 90%. Text moves to fill in the gap, etc. Can you point out the rules that affect that so I can maybe remove the shrinking here? Thanks for your help.
Ok, that worked. It’s the zip inside the zip inside the zip. I was at the zip inside the zip.
Ally.ZIP->Plugins/Layer-Slider.Zip->Layer-Slider/layerslider-wordpress-plugin-installable/LayerSlider_WP_2.0.0.ZIP
that’s the right file. Got it.
