    In reply to: Search Widget Customization

    #21840

    Use Firebug to figure out the unique ID of the widget in question. Then use code like this:

    #search-3 input {style elements here;}
    #search-3 button {width:40px;}

    #search-3 is the ID of the widget on my test blog; you’ll need to replace it with whatever ID you’re dealing with. I could give you more specific information, but your site remains hidden!

    You can style form elements, by the way. Go to my main site (http://www.kjodle.net/) and pick a stylesheet such as “Night Sky” or one of the “Terminal” ones to see this in action. It’s actually pretty cool.

    In reply to: Sharing on Facebook

    #21832

    Some thoughts:

    1) Have you changed the code you use for the share button?

    2) Have you changed your permalinks setup?

    3) Have you installed, deleted, or updated any plugins?

    In other words, what have you done between the time it worked well and now?

    Why not just use ordinary AddThis sharing code, which works just fine (I use it on my blogs with no problems)?

    (Also, you have so many photos in your posts, you might want to consider using extracts on your front page, which takes a while to load.)

    In reply to: update changed me from two columns to one

    #21803

    why would I need one now?

    So that when you update the theme, you don’t lose any changes you’ve made.

    How do I do that?

    Josh has an excellent tutorial. Check out his website.

    In reply to: Problem with font size of the menu after update

    #21831

    Sometimes the CSS changes with each update, and this may have been the case. It’s also possible that your font display size on your browser got reset sometime after the update. (There have been a couple of cases of this noted in this forum.)

    What is Wishlist for? What does it do? I can’t find it in the WordPress plugin repository (plugins that have been checked for malicious code and approved by the WP team).

    Wishlist is a premium plugin. But, I think they’ll say it’s a problem with the theme.

    I’m afraid this is probably the case, and all too true of “premium” (i.e., paid) plugins — the problem is never with their code. It gives me a headache just thinking of working with them.

    The code for the slider is, I believe, part of the jQuery pack that comes with Graphene.

    Are you using a private browsing window? (What Google Chrome calls “an incognito window”?) That would explain the cookie situation. Either that, or GA uses very short-lived cookies.

    Go to “Menus” and make sure you don’t have any specified in the “Theme Locations” area.

    I suppose this is possible, but it will be very difficult. You will need to create a child theme and reset each and every width from a pixel specification (px) to a percentage specification (%). However, because all browsers display things differently, it will still not look the same on everybody’s computer. It might look fine on yours, but weird on someone else’s. For example, if you have a width:100% specification, it might look fine on your monitor (800×600), but for someone with a very wide browser (over 1200px wide, for example), they are going to end up with very wide lines of text which can be incredibly difficult to read. If people have trouble reading your site, they move on.

    You will be able to change the width of some features with the next update (1.6), but believe me, you want to stick with pixel specifications and be very careful with it.
