The slider uses jquery to display posts. If you have plugins that use jquery, such as “Accordion Image Menu” or “Fancy Box”, it may cause the slider to stop working. Try disabling those plugins and see if your slider functions again.

That’s because you might have an issue with the one of the widgets in your left sidebar that is preventing the rest of your page from loading. Try disabling the widgets on the left hand side one at a time to figure out which one is faulty.

Not a bug, so moved to support.

In reply to: Graphene is showing all posts in homepage pane

#19955

Actually, it’s duplicating the data from the homepage pane. I have a “below content” action hook widget area which displays an additional bit of advertising, and it’s showing all my posts (31), the ad widget, and then all the posts and the ad widget again.

On posts, it’s showing the “below content” widget twice. You can see it here, where I’ve added a title to the widget to make sure: http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/11/13/dont-waste-time/

In reply to: How to remove excerpt thumbnails from posts

If I’m not mistaken, Soundcloud uses .swf files, which are difficult to control using conventional HTML and CSS methods. There have been a few discussions about controlling the placement of Soundcloud here in the last few weeks; they may have the information you need.

As for excerpt length, it’s not the number of lines, but the number of words. You can try adding something like this to your child theme function file:

function new_excerpt_length($length) {

return 20;

}

add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

Change the 20 to the number of words you would like to include in excepts. Unfortunately, this may not fix your situation, since an <object> is not, technically, a word.

You can also try making a .png that is semi transparent, and using that for the background of your main content area. This has the advantage of reducing file size (because the .png file is small) and ensuring that the background images align perfectly.

Try getting rid of that widget on the upper right hand side. Its code is generating all sorts of errors when I run it through a validator. You can temporarily disable it by dragging it to the bottom left side of the widgets pane (the “inactive widgets” part).

In reply to: How To Change Bullet Color or li Color in Theme

#19911

Wow! Thanks for that Prasanna. I had never even noticed that in the CSS, and couldn’t figure out why some of my plugins weren’t displaying bullet points correctly. Just adding this to my css:

.entry-content ul li {

list-style-image: none;

}

gave regular bullet points. (I’ll create some of my own later when I get the chance.)

Moved to a different thread since this is really a different question.

michaelcgreen:

always start the URL with “http://”. You should be fine. I’ll update this portion of the wiki soon.

In reply to: How to have both a content/side bar page AND a content /sidebar/sidebar page?

#19928

If you are talking about actual pages and not posts, then this is simple:

When you edit a page, look to the right and look for “Page Attributes”. Under “Template” there is a drop-down menu that will allow you to choose the layout you would like for that page.

Note that this only works for pages, not posts.

(BTW, you don’t need to hit “Return” at the end of each line. Computers wrap things automatically.)
