    Well, not the Graphene theme, so…………..

    However, I don’t know how changing the image can restrict permissions, unless there is something wonky with the theme code.

    Okay, it looked one column earlier. Must be all the cold medicine I’m taking.

    Edit the page. On the right side, look under “Page Attributes”. Select “One column, no sidebar”. Save the page.

    If you don’t see “Page Attributes” then click on “Screen Options” in the upper right-hand corner and in the menu that pops down, tick the box marked “Page Attributes”. (No need to save; the change is automatic.)

    Yes, that looks much better! We’ll mark thread as resolved.

    Any way of having these three pages show up under the Blogs item as a dropdown like that other top menu item that has two child items?

    Yes. Just edit the menu, and then drag those items under (and slightly to the right) of the “Blogs” menu item.

    Also, using a good permalink structure really helps improve your blogs usability. It’s much better than having all that confusing PHP code in the URL.

    I’m glad. I’ve been meaning to do a tutorial on transparency for some time but haven’t had the time/energy. Hopefully, I’ll get to it in the next two weeks.

    Go to

    Graphene Options >> Display Options >> Colour Options >> “Widgets”

    and play around with the codes in “Widget header gradient bottom colour” and “Widget header gradient top colour”.

    Since you provide the code #472e5b, you might want to use that for the top and something a little darker for the bottom. You can play around with various shades of your color here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp

    Just enter your color code and hit “Submit” and you’ll find something to your liking.

    Cheers!

    You need to create a transparent graphic (use Photoshop or GIMP), save it as a .png file (NOT jpg), and set that as the background for the container.

    You can achieve transparency using CSS, but — surprise, surprise — IE doesn’t support it. (At least not consistently.)

    In reply to: File does not exist – Graphene

    #26768

    Graphene doesn’t include those files because it doesn’t use those files.

    Do you know why CPanel is calling those files? And more importantly, does your site look okay anyway?

    CPanel? I gave that up a long time ago.

    In reply to: not compatible with explore 6,7

    #26712

    Graphene is not meant to be compatible with IE6. It takes a lot of work to make anything compatible with IE6, and I mean A LOT.

    That said, however, it should be somewhat compatible with IE8 and IE9. I say “somewhat” because it will never look exactly the same in those browsers as in a standards compliant browser.

    Graphene is easily customisable, so we need to make sure that any customisations we make (via a child theme or custom CSS) are IE compliant, if that is our goal.

    However, rather than struggle to make our sites compatible with IE, we should be educating our readers about better browsers, which is what I do on my blog. Microsoft will only make IE standards compliant when we quit bending over backwards to make our sites work with it.
