This may have more to do with their ISP or censorship issues in their country. What country are they in? Who is their ISP?

Moved to Support.

Please include a link to your site so we can take a look, as well as details about the contact form you are using. Is it a plugin? If so, which one?

I see a box that says “Sign Up for Infonista News”, so I assume you got this to work?

Also, a white box is showing up underneath the box I created.

I don’t see this either, so I assume you got it fixed?

I’m not sure what you mean by “capture forms”. What does this code look like?

To enter HTML in a widget, you can just drag a text widget over and enter the code there. To add HTML to a page, you can edit it in HTML mode. PHP will not work in either of those.

Looks like he switched themes. 🙁

I figuired it out when I went to your book blog to see how it was working so thanks for that link also.

You’re welcome. I had a lot of fun designing that one and I’m not done yet.

I’m not sure how you guys feel though about me taking up your time while I get schooled on PHP and posting. I truly appreciate the code. Bonuses: I’ve learned about Action Hooks, AddThis as well as whole slew of conditional tags that I’m sure will come in handy in the future.

That’s what we’re here for. A willingness to learn on your part makes this job quite enjoyable, because I often have to figure these things out myself and then I get to learn something new. When we share that knowledge, we all grow. Keep asking great questions!

Josh — yeah, there are tons of those, and because they can be used in so many different ways, it takes time to figure them all out. It’s happy fun time when you finally get the one you need to do what you want.

I looked at this again:

it’s buried in there somewhere. You can also try this one,

It is buried in there. I’ve highlighted this point to make it more obvious, and added the link I include above. You really need to know this, because a single unescaped quotation mark gives you the error you got above, which means no one can read your blog.

Keep reading parts 5 and 6 of that tutorial. Use the is_single() function to get them on just the posts, because the daring portion also adds it to pages.

And don’t forget to escape any quotation marks in an ECHO statement!

#19753

Yeah, it’s possible using a plugin. You can find a whole list of them here.

Keep in mind, this is annoying as heck to most readers, including me. You might want to provide a plugin in a widget which people can control themselves (along with a title that will entice them to listen to you). jaztwo has something like this (for music) on his website at http://frikianime.com/.

In reply to: Resize header image, add image to 'pages' menu, change footer to image.

#19746

I’m wondering…

if you replace the navigation menu, how are readers going to navigate your blog? Ditto for the footer.

You might want to consider adding an image before the content or after the content using a Graphene action hook widget area in order to retain your navigation.

I don’t understand why your header isn’t resizing, since your code is correct. The problem here, of course, is that the main container of Graphene is only 960px wide, and since the header is part of the container, your header will still only be 960px wide. You might try adding something like this to your child theme CSS:

#container {width: 980px;}

Your functions file is in the same child theme folder as your styles.css file, right?
