    In reply to: How to edit text when hovering over menu

    #12731

    you must remember back to when <blink> & <marquee> were hot tags

    I do. I was still in short trousers, but I used them myself, BITD. Now I spend my days mercilessly crushing them.

    It’s a bit redundant, would prefer to not have any text show up when I hover over the menu.

    Have you tried just putting a space or a non-breaking space (option + space bar) in there?

    I know I’ll stay with Graphene tho!

    A wise decision, padawan!

    That solved the issue for me so I can move on to more important things!

    Let’s mark this thread as “resolved” and if anyone else has this issue with this plugin, we can send them here.

    It doesn’t work? Then it may be because you are not using the PHP widget, which will generate a different ID than a regular text widget.

    Try this guess:

    #post-337 #text-12 {display: none;}

    What is a child theme and how do I use it?

    Here:

    https://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/how-to-modify-the-theme-using-a-child-theme

    and here:

    http://www.joshlobe.com/2011/10/video-tutorial-creating-a-child-theme-in-wordpress/

    what do I put for the URL ?

    WP makes this easy: http://girlinthegreenapron.com/feed/

    You can actually add feed/ to just about anything: category, tag archive, etc. I use it a lot on the front page of my blog.

    Long way: use your browser’s “View Source” function and then scroll through everything to find it.

    Easy way: use Firebug.

    (Hint: Use Firebug)

    Seriously, Firebug is the way to go. An example is here, my tutorial (which is really an intro) is here, and Josh’s (infinitely better video) tutorial is here.

    I do love the appearance of your site, as well as your topic. I’ve bookmarked it. But make my life easy and include that RSS feed button somewhere.

    For the footer, play around with this in your custom CSS or child theme style sheet:

    #footer {
    background: #ffffff;
    }

    Change the #ffffff to whatever color you would like.

    You eliminated the header entirely! Wow. It certainly looks strange, because I am accustomed to seeing Graphene sites with the header intact. But you certainly get to the content immediately.

    I noticed that you put your site name vertically to the right of the main content area since you don’t have a header. I am curious if this displays correctly on all sizes of monitors, and if so, how you are accomplishing this.

    I love this book! I’m so glad it is available in Czech!

    A very interesting approach that I’ve never seen before. Unique and well done. Thank you for sharing.

    If you’re using AddThis, their API allows you to explicitly define the URL, Title, and Description of the page the buttons are sharing, regardless of on which page the button is placed.

    I did not know this–thanks, Syahir. Yet another reason to use AddThis.

    I may just have to switch to AddThis.

    Yes, because now it rocks even more.

    Is there any way to omit the sharing buttons from a particular post either using Graphene Options or the Action Hook widget?

    Well, sure. Remember that everything on WP gets its own unique ID. So if you look at this page on my blog:

    and either view source or use Firebug, you’ll notice that its content area is identified as id="post-1096".

    So I can use a bit of custom CSS like this:

    #post-1096 #php_widget-4 {display:none;}

    to hide the sharing buttons from that post.

    In my case php_widget-4 is the ID of the Graphene action hook widget I’m using. Yours will most likely be different.

    I’m going to leave that custom CSS in place until you get yours up and running, so let me know when you do. You can check the next post:

    http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/12/30/changing-the-width-of-the-graphene-theme-for-wordpress/

    to see that it only affects that particular post.

    Interesting question! Thanks for making me think a bit.

    I was messing with my widgets

    That is your clue. There is most likely a missing closing </div> somewhere in one of the widgets you were messing with. You just have to find it and add it.

    Happens all the time.

    #22108

    Moved to Support. Please be sure to post in the correct section.

    This sounds like two problems to me…

    First when you log into the site, you immediately get an error, but it does take you to the main page with the slider.

    This sounds like some kind of plugin conflict. It would be helpful to know what kind of error you are getting, but short of that, I would recommend disabling plugins one at a time to see if one of them is causing the problem.

    I want the home page, to just be the slider, no posts or pages.

    You know, I swear there was a thread about this not too long ago, but for the life of me, I can’t find it. Take a look around and you may find it, or someone who remembers it may chime in. I’ll keep an eye out for it in the meantime.
