    In reply to: My Page Titles Turned Blue

    #24087

    but I did replace it with my maroon color, which is #76143b.

    No, not really. It’s still showing the other code. When I replace it with #76143b, they turn maroon in both sites.

    Ah-ha! I see this in your child theme style sheet:

    .post-title, .post-title a, .post-title a:visited {
    color: #1772AF;
    }
    .post-title {
    color: #76143B;
    }

    So first you are setting them all to blue, and then you are only changing the .post-title to maroon. But the post title is also a link, so you need use the first line above with the correct code, and eliminate the second line.

    A post’s title is identical to the link it contains – this duplication of information is visually redundant and confusing

    The post title is something that you have control over actually, but I admit, the alternative is to have a “click here for more information” type of link. Boring (and very 2003).

    though I’d like to hide the post author for these link posts

    Add this to your custom css:

    .home p.post-author {display:none;}

    The title of the post should -be- the link – that’s what the Link Post Format offers 🙂

    That what I was wondering about. (Couldn’t find it on Dan Roundhill’s site.)

    I’m wondering if it is possible to add post formats to a child theme. Seems like it should be possible. Maybe I’ll work on it when I get time–the “quotation” one interests me.

    Also, please don’t hijack threads that are marked as “Resolved”. People may just skip over them and not bother to read them. Feel free to start a new, unresolved, thread and link to the resolved one if necessary.

    @tck:

    It’s impossible for us to tell if you don’t have any widgets showing!

    I like the color scheme. I do have a couple of suggestions, however.

    1) I don’t know what this header image is supposed to represent:

    http://www.ems-unlimited.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cropped-Event-Medical-3.jpg

    2) I would rethink the links in your footer text widgets. I tried clicking on the title, but nothing. It took longer than it should to realize I should click on the text, because clicking on an entire paragraph for a link is counter-intuitive. I would remove the link from the text, and then add a link at the bottom of each widget that says “Read more” or something like that.

    Other than those two minor items, it’s a very impressive effort.

    @kcmyoung

    Can you provide a place on your blog where this is an issue? (I’m wondering if you are preserving <a> tags in excerpts, for a start.)

    Also, can you provide a link to a page or theme with this feature implemented?

    @tck:

    I only see a single column format on your site, with no plugins. If you are still having this problem, please give us a link where this is happening.

    #24553

    Just out of curiosity, when you get that blank widget, do you ever go over to Twitter to see if they are over capacity? (Which happens quite often from time to time.)

    Not a likely cause, but a possibility.

    Difficult. You would either have to use a table (Josh’s plugin does a great job with those, btw), or you would need to enclose the text in a <div>.

    I’m not sure if this is what you want, however. It’s kind of hard to tell from your post. Where is this new line of text? Between the pictures, I assume?
