I’m not seeing anything. Do you have that plugin installed in a widget area somewhere?

Which plugin is it? Is it available from the WordPress plugin repository?

You could do “Reviews” as a category and just link to that category archive.

And I did try try using the header widget but it put it in the upper left and displayed [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_PLUS] so I don’t think that would work in the widget.

Some shortcodes are not designed to work in widgets. (Well, most of them, actually.)

Can you give me any tips on how I can position it in the lower right? I am not a coder-thanks

Whatever you are using will (probably) be wrapped in a CSS class or id. If you know what that class or id is, you can target it with some custom css.

The trouble is finding what that CSS class or id is. You can view the source code for your page (use your browser’s “View Source” function, usually Ctrl + U) or developer tools (F12).

In Chrome, you can right-click on an element and use “Inspect Element”. To do that in Firefox, you need to add the Firebug extension, which is very handy to have.

If you add that element in, I’ll be happy to take a look at it for you, but you seem to enjoy learning new things. Hence, the quick tutorial.

Since it’s a php function, and you already have a header.php in your child theme, I would add it there. This is exactly the kind of thing that child themes were meant for.

An alternate route, if you decide to get rid of the header.php in your child theme, would be to use Graphene’s built-in header widget area. There are two additional things to keep in mind here:

1) The header widget is unstyled, so you would need to add some custom css to position it appropriately.

2) You can’t use PHP in a text widget. You would need to install a PHP widget plugin, and use that instead.

You could fake it with using a scrolling background.

Basically, you make the top of your background image look like your header, and then set it to “scroll”. Kind of a hack, I admit. To accomplish a true full-width header, you’d need to use a child theme.

My monitor is 1366px wide, and I have to horizontally scroll to see that site, which is not a good thing.

to have margins of say 200px on each side?

You’ve got to be careful here. Computer monitors don’t function like television screens, so 200px margins on your computer could make the center portion very wide for someone with a large monitor, or very narrow for someone with a small monitor (as on laptops).

That said, what you are asking for is really difficult, because Graphene’s header is contained within the main container that determines the width of the theme.

IIRC, someone around here did manage to pull this off a few years ago by using a custom background, but I don’t have a bookmark for that thread. If you search the forum, you may find it.

In reply to: Menu icons?

#45184

I can move the icon down using this bit of css:

.ion-ios-home::before {

position: relative;

top: 20px;

}

but you would need to duplicate it for each and every icon you use, as they each have their own class. Also, it still leaves the individual menu items too tall.

If you are using this plugin:

Icon Fonts

the faq states that icons cannot be applied to widgets or menus (probably for the reason you are seeing), but that an update will allow that. Since that’s a fairly new plugin, you may want to contact the author to see if such an update will be available by your launch date.
