In reply to: footer widget background color

#21887

Firebug suggests:

#sidebar_bottom {

background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #E3E3E3;

}

Change #e3e3e3 to whatever color you would like.

I did take notice of the post about an earlier version of the theme missing a line of two of code

Thank you for taking the time to search the forum. There is a lot of information here now that we are over 2,000 topics.

I originally wanted the color to be the same as the body of the site, but the font color didn’t cooperate. I’m sure there’s a way to change the footer text color, but I haven’t gotten that far

Did you mean this:

#copyright h3 {

color: #E3E3E3;

}

(Again, change the color code to whatever you would like.)

If that’s what you were looking for, you’ll also need:

#footer {

color: #999999;

}

and possibly one or two others, but I think that is it.

Cheers!

I’m not sure that this is possible using a child theme.

You might want to try this plugin, however:

In reply to: Suggestion for Post Formats

#21848

Well, the point behind the special post formats is to emphasize the image, video, etc., without text. But like you said, now anybody who wants to change it can. Thanks!

In reply to: Title appearing in the main content

#21876

I got an email reply to the above question but the link within took me back here again?

That’s probably because you ticked the box labeled “Notify me of follow-up posts via email” – useful in you don’t check in to the forum very often.

I see what you are talking about now. WordPress automatically puts the post title into the post. There’s no need for you to enter it in the content of your post.

If you want to style that automatic post title, it’s been discussed in this forum several times. When you’re ready, take a look around and you’ll find it.

I’m fairly new to WordPress

BT/DT — we all were at one point. Welcome aboard.

In reply to: Character encoding issue when posting on Facebook wall

#21867

This seems like a Facebook issue, since your blog appears fine, with all the Hungarian diacritical marks intact, despite whatever changes you have made on the back end. I have been searching through the Facebook help pages and the only thing that even comes close to addressing this issue is help with smileys and emoticons. Are you able to make status updates correctly when you are logged in to FB?

The other thing is that it might be an issue with your ISP (internet service provider). Have you tried doing this on a different computer with a different ISP?

In reply to: How to create a site version on second language

#21855

Some ideas:

1) 2 blogs, one in first language, the other in another language, with a link in each post to its corresponding post in the other blog.

2) 2 blogs, one in first language, the other in another language, with a link in the sidebar (or top bar or menu or in an absolutely positioned element) linking to the other blog.

3) 1 blog, with one post in first language and another post in the second language.

4) 1 blog, with one post, with content in first language, followed by content in the second language in the same post.

I have seen examples of options #3 and #4.

I don’t want to use this because translation is not fully correct.

I actually use a Google translate widget on my blog and it’s not too bad, but anytime you get into something technical or esoteric, it does have issues. But it’s getting better (at least with regard to translating into or out of English–not so sure about between languages other than English).

Let us know what you come up with.

What would be really cool would be a button that would automatically replace the post content with its corresponding content in another language (using Ajax, maybe?), although this would leave all the menus and sidebar content in the first language.

If you are using a custom menu, you can edit that menu.

I’m not quite sure what you are talking about here. Are you referring to the menu item “Staircases Manchester” with the “Gallery” child item?

In reply to: How Do Increase the Width of a Page?

#21870

You could put it in a pop-up window…but there’s no way that I know of to change the width of just one page. However, the next release of Graphene (1.6) will allow you to easily change the width of the entire site. Since you only need a little bit more space, this might be a viable solution for you.

I forgot to mention: you’ll want to go to the “Contact” page to see an example of a form.

In reply to: Header Menu Problems

#21796

Thanks for the screen shots; now I see clearly what the issue is: the theme automatically adds all top-level pages to the menu unless you use a custom menu. That’s what’s happening to you. Josh’s solution should work for you.

An interesting problem…Thank you.
