maybe in 1.6 or 1.7?
Actually, it might be easiest, since this is my current “big thing”, is to just add an action hook widget area to the top of the archive page, just under the
<h1>. Then you could attach whatever you would like there: an extended description, etc.I’m thinking….
1. Blank space on home page where I want adsense to go but it shows on other blog pages
That often means that you have enabled the adsense options in Graphene options, but haven’t entered any code. Do you have code entered in the box in Graphene options?
2. Adsense showing on “About” “Contant Us” and “Privacy” which I don’t want
Yep, that code goes everywhere. However, if you use an action hook widget area to insert code, you can use the Widget Logic plugin to control where that widget will appear. For a brief tutorial to this, read my tutorial about Graphene action hook widget areas. It really is far easier than you can imagine.
3. Want to use Link units but they don’t show up, only the block type ad does
Really an AdSense option, I think. (And to be honest, I have a hard time finding answers over there. They hide them really well.)
4. Both adsense options are ticked in the Graphene Options
🙂
I’ve noticed now that you have some Google ads on your page. If this post doesn’t answer all your questions, please let us know.

Three options:
1) Add custom CSS to the existing class, like this:
.addthis_toolbox {padding: 6px 0 6px 0;}2) Wrap your code above in a new division that you can style inline or via child theme. (Best if you want to make dramatic changes.)
3) Add inline style to the existing div:
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " style="padding: 6px 0 6px 0;">Option #3 is probably easiest, but some CSS experts frown upon inline styling. I think you can get away with it here, though.
Why don’t you try an action hook widget area just below the top bar and then use a custom menu, which would use the default styling of the theme? You probably wouldn’t have to mess about with the CSS as much, if any, that way.
Not that I know of. On front pages, sticky posts always go to the top, but on any sort of archive, everything is in order from newest to oldest. Even if you have two sticky posts, the newest one is still the one on top.

November 5, 2011 at 3:15 pm #19409Put that in a new file, name it
functions.phpand place it in your child theme folder. Then upload it to your server.BTW, be sure to put code in this forum between backticks (on the ~ key in the upper left corner of your keyboard).

November 5, 2011 at 2:20 pm #19406There’s no right way to answer your question. Customisation means that you get to make the changes you want to make. So, when you look at your blog, what would you like to change?
Graphene offers a lot of functions right out of the box, but eventually, you will probably want to use a child theme, so it is good that you have made one early. If you really have no idea what kind of changes you would like to make, head over to the Graphene Showcase to see just what is possible with this theme and to get a few ideas.
Good luck and welcome aboard,

You can use a graphene action hook widget area, plus a bit of php.
You can see what I did here: http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/11/04/graphene-action-hook-widgets-an-easy-way-to-modify-your-blog/
Except that you would do the opposite, PHP wise. Take a look and see if that will work for you, and if you have questions/problems, let me know.
