In reply to: Lost "Main content wrapper background" colour after upgrade to V1.8

Hey, Syahir, back again. After recording any custom colours used, I updated Graphene on our other 5 sites.

And of course, Murphy’s 2nd Law came into play: When you’re prepared, it never goes wrong!

Smooth as silk. The first one must have been a freak of the Internet. Thanks again.

Yup, will make a note of custom colours per site, then update Graphene to 1.8 & report back as to whether the others go okay, Syahir.

Re colour schemes, will look forward to if/when it happens. ITM, got a few menus to colourise, hey!

Thanks & well done, mate.

It looks clear enough that I should be able to work through it now.

Already downloaded Widget Login plugin, from your referenced threads above, in readiness!

Shall have a serious go this weekend, many thanks, Prasanna.

Okay, Prasanna, many thanks for those, especially Syahir’s original.

Great to finally read up on the power of action hooks after noticing them when I’ve been in & out of a couple of our Graphene-themed sites of late.

Thing is: I’ve now had quite a go clicking action hooks on & off (mostly on the “loop…” links), & applying a Text Widget with some text to each newly activated Graphene action hook widget, then checking in the browser to see where & what the result is.

But I haven’t determined which one will place the text on my WP-set Posts Page — as per my original posted request.

If I PM you a temp Admin to the site in question, can you check to tell me which action hook I need to access?

Thank you very much, ronangelo, for helping (& taking into account my code-shy comments implied/inferred by the 2nd sentence of my original post):

Is there a simple non-code way to do so?

Precisely, the simple solution I asked for!

ronangelo, you’d make a great salesperson one day, if so inclined, because you listened to the “customer” & gave them what they wanted. Very much appreciated.

Prasanna, thank you too, but that’s just a bit more code stuff than I’m comfortable with.

Geez, John, what side of bed did you get out of today?

Thanks, Prasanna, if action hooks ARE the easy solution, then can you type in the actual steps to use them in my situation, please? While taking into account my code-shy level of Graphene usage?

With 30-something new posts typed in the 29 hours AFTER I posted mine — & every one of them having suitable helpful solutions to them, but not mine — which was fast disappearing to the bottom of the second page — I thought it would get lost, like some other posts I’ve noticed didn’t get replied to.

Bearing that in mind, what would you do in this instance, John? And yes, I really respect the fact that people volunteer their time & expertise here to help.

BTW, thanks… but that thread sounds like how to disassemble & fine-tune a turbocharger on my Mazda. Oh, well, sorry to trouble you. I guess I didn’t really need a solution on this one.

FYI, John, I DID search the forums firstly — with no suitable result.

Initially didn’t know what to search for. So the results didn’t come back as expected, & I’m sure that applies to all the other people who do likewise, then get told bluntly as though they didn’t try to find the answer BEFORE asking.

But I do appreciate you passing that link on to me, John.

PS Why do I feel on forums that as soon as I ask for an EASY TO UNDERSTAND explanation, the answer makes me feel I have to be a digital junkie who continuously thinks code to understand it. When I drive my SUV fast on the highway, or slow to the supermarket for groceries, I never have to think like a mechanic to put foot to accelerator. Been on computers since ’89 with AutoCAD but God alone knows why people still want to force hand-typing of code onto us in 2012!

Help, folks, no reply yet? Is this trickier than all the others the last 2 days?
