    I’m working on that. Bear with me for a few hours.

    It could possibly be a plugin conflict. Are you using any sort of plugin to modify the menus?

    If not, try using FTP to upload a fresh copy of the functions files.

    Do you think CSS loads faster than an image; in regards to hover effect?

    Yes, but I’m not entirely sure.

    but that’s SOOOO much code for such a simple effect

    Have you tried any of the online CSS gradient generators?

    This is my favorite: http://gradients.glrzad.com/

    But these are also good:

    http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/

    http://www.display-inline.fr/projects/css-gradient/#startType=hex&startValue=aaeeff&endType=hex&endValue=3399cc

    And of course, this one is very useful, but I haven’t done much with it (yet!):

    You can also use WP’s built in Image Gallery function. It’s even easier now that WP has drag and drop method to add images.

    Syahir’s example (with beautiful images all with a nature theme) is here:

    My example (with mismatched images just grabbed off my desktop) is here:

    http://test.kjodle.net/blog/2012/01/13/image-gallery-test/

    Simple, easy, and no additional plugins (and therefore no potential for plugin conflicts) needed!

    In reply to: Issue with Static Home Page & Blog

    #22239

    When I go here: screenplayology.com

    I see two posts underneath your static home page’s content. These are not in the footer (that starts with the silver bar at the bottom), but are part of your homepage pane. If you don’t want these to show up here, then don’t use the homepage panes option, which combines a static home page with a regular blog page. To disable this, go to

    Graphene Options >> General >> Homepage Panes

    and tick the box marked “Disable homepage panes”.

    Now, when I go here: http://www.screenplayology.com/blog/

    I don’t see any blog posts. Did you set this as your “posts” page? To do that, go to

    Settings >> Reading

    and select this page in the pop-up menu marked “Posts page:”. You can also set how many blog posts will appear here by entering a number in the box below which is labeled “Blog pages show at most”.

    Let us know if this works.

    In reply to: Child Theme print.css file

    #22213

    Another way is to use the wp_head() action to add a link to your stylesheet. In my child theme’s functions file I have:

    add_action ('wp_head', 'printstyle' );
    function printstyle() {
    echo "<link rel='stylesheet' id='graphene-stylesheet-css' href='http://blog.kjodle.net/wp-content/themes/graphene-stonesinwater/print.css' type='text/css' media='print' />";
    }

    I include that in both my bookblog and my personal blog, so they both use the same print style sheet.

    If there are only one or two items that you want to exclude from printing, you can always add them to your custom CSS option, like this:

    @media print {
    div.actioncenter {display:none;}
    }

    I noticed that last night. I think it looks awesome! Especially the matching hover colors.

    In reply to: Header Image Resize Help

    #22168

    It’s all a question of proportions.

    If you divide 960 by 198, you get 4.84. So you need to start with an image that is 4.84 times wider than it is high.

    6629/2156 = 3.07

    754/250 = 3.02

    So both of those images are too tall (compared to their width) to just scale. You will need to crop the image to something that will directly scale:

    In GIMP, select the crop tool.

    In the cropping tool options, tick the box marked “Fixed” and select “Aspect Ratio” from the pop-up menu to the right.

    In the box immediately below that, type: “960:198”

    Now when you use the cropping tool, it will automatically select something that is proportional to 960×198. After cropping, you will then need to scale (up or down) to exactly 960×198 pixels. (But if you scale up, you will see some distortion in the final image.)

    In reply to: bold in editor but gone on site

    #20961

    When I look at the source for your page, I see a lot of words and phrases that are in bold, like this:

    top products and with our <strong>clever diagrams</strong>

    But when I look at your site, it looks like all of your text is in bold. This could be the result of a plugin conflict. Which plugins are you using?

    Looks like it changed to me: http://twitpic.com/86fdcc

    If this is what you wanted, try refreshing your browser (or emptying the cache). If not, what were you looking for?

    it seems the original .css is posted as css in the html of the page

    You will see a link to the original styles.css file, plus you will see some actual CSS code, which is generated by the Graphene options. You may also see some other CSS code which is generated by plugins.
