I guess this is what threw me:
So the user experience is not as good because of the “duplicate” content.
If you are not going to be adding new posts (because you’re using WP as a CMS), then I would agree. I’ve seen some sites that just rotate through images or very short posts and it’s pretty cool. If this is the case, then Josh’s idea of just limiting the slider to certain posts works.
However, if you are always adding new posts, I don’t think this a bad user experience because the content isn’t really duplicated. The slider just highlights new content. At least, I’ve never felt like I was having a bad experience when I see sites that display content in both the slider and the blog listings below.
I suppose it might be possible, if we could figure out that function, to use an action hook widget area, along with the PHP widget, and then insert the function in a text widget after the slider.
Maybe we could define an array with an offset of 5? Like this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts#Posts_list_with_offset
So they had another theme, and then changed to Graphene?
This is what the client had installed and numerous changes have been made directly to the files.
This is probably the problem, then.
To be honest, there doesn’t seem to be that much customisation done to the site. I would try upgrading and seeing if that takes care of the problem, since the site is pretty much useless as it is.
Try this: don’t upgrade via the Dashboard. Use FTP and rename the current Graphene folder to something else. Then install a clean copy of the theme into a new Graphene folder, and see if the problem is gone. You can probably make any changes they had originally made via Graphene’s new options. If not, you always have the old 1.2.1 folder lying around.
depending on which area of my site someone is reading, certain links should be more prominent
This is a better solution than actually changing the order or position of the links and can be achieved (maybe?) through some creative CSS.
In reply to: Thanks for a great theme! Here's my beginner's effort at a static site…
January 19, 2012 at 5:37 pm #22351how to get the URL to stay as my domain name as opposed to the server
Your URL looks fine to me. Maybe it’s the computer you are viewing it from.
where exactly to stick in the Google Analytics code
Graphene Options >> General >> Google Analytics Options
I took out the developer credits
According to the theme’s license, this is okay. But it is a great theme and I think it’s nice when people include it.
I think you want to disable Homepage Panes.
To a beginner, that seems like a surprising lack of functionality – especially as the option is already there to define multiple menus
Not really. Part of good web design is that you have a consistent look across a domain or subdomain, so that people know they are still on your site. I can’t think of any themes that allow you to change header menus from page to page because of this.
“multiple menus” are actually custom menus and you can do a lot with them besides just linking to your own pages. They’re not just for breakfast any more!
(Seriously though, I will someday write a post about everything you can do with a custom menu.)
When I inspect this with Firebug, I see this code for your title:
<h2 class="post-title"> " rel="bookmark" title="Permalink Link to Protein Shakes and Baldness" & g t ;* Protein Shakes and Baldness </h2>This
& g t ;should be interpreted as>, but it’s not. Instead that character is being added earlier and that’s why you’re seeing all that.This site was migrated over from another theme in case that is helpful to know at all
Two thoughts:
Does it still do this if you switch back to the old theme? If so, it could be plugin conflict.
Why don’t you try upgrading to the latest version of Graphene? You are using an ancient (1.2) version.
And a last thought: is your version of WordPress up to date?
*I had to add spaces to get this to show correctly here. It makes me think this is some sort of plugin issue.
Extra space to put your stuff! Cool!
It is probably a plugin that is causing it, and most likely a plugin that makes heavy use of js. Have you installed any plugins recently, or changed any of their settings?
Okay, try
.full-sized .slider_post_entry p {
display: none;
}(Code between backticks, please. Thanks.)
