You can use a custom menu and include (or exclude) whatever you like.
In reply to: Just want to know best adsense plugin for graphene theme
October 2, 2011 at 3:41 pm #17286It depends on where you want to put your ads. Here are some options:
- You can add adsense code to a text widget.
- You can add adsense code to the header widget and use css to put it anywhere.
- You can use a child theme’s functions.php file to create your own shortcode, which you could then use to put an ad anywhere in any post or page.
- You could use action hooks to put adsense code just about anywhere.
If you are looking for a plugin to handle your adsense code, think about where you want your ads placed (and how you want to place them — automatically or via a shortcode) and look for a plugin that handles it the way you want.
The good news is that there are lots of adsense plugins out there. The bad news is that not all of them will do what you want.
Good luck!

@Josh:
I either use windoze “Snipping Tool” or the LightScreen app. On a Mac I use SnapNDrag.
However, if you copy it to the clipboard and then go immediately to Photoshop, select “new” and there is an option to open a new document the size of the clipboard. I’ve never been impressed with Paint.
@Erik:
You can post pics to twitpic and then include a link here. Some folks have managed to insert pics, but I’ve never figured it out.
They are moving! I didn’t notice it either!
Now I can’t help but notice it. Funny how some little design element like that catches your attention.
I think I’m risking my life by posting it here 😉
Still laughing out loud about that.
Firebug is so useful. I wish everybody used it. I’ll try to get out a tutorial about it in the next week or so.
BTW, I agree about the autoplay feature, especially as I usually have a lot of tabs open, and tend to associate that with some sort of advert–whose tab gets immediately closed. It’s annoying.
The main content area (between the nav menus and the footer) is a
<div>whose id is#contentYeah, you can do a custom background image for just about any image. The only issue is whether or not your text is legible. Here’s a neat Photoshop trick to help out with that (although I actually used GIMP): http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/08/27/how-i-created-the-background-you-see-here/
Yup, but the problem is if you alter the theme’s files, your changes will get lost in the next update. The solution is to use a child theme, with its own
style.cssandfunctions.php. Instead of altering other files, you can add custom functions and use action hooks. When you update the theme, you don’t lose any of your customisations. It’s the way to go.Ken
In reply to: Child Theme not the same, plus Options page crash in both parent and child
October 2, 2011 at 2:02 am #17425created the child theme without making any changes at all yet
So what is in the child theme’s folder? At this point, I’m thinking you should have just a
style.cssfile that contains:/*
Theme Name: Graphene Child
Theme URI: http://example.com/
Description: Child theme for the Graphene theme
Author: Your name here
Author URI: http://example.com/about/
Template: graphene
Version: 1.0
*/
@import url("../graphene/style.css");
/* Your modification goes here */every time I open the Appearance>Options page (I’m using Chrome), it freezes and I have to exit out.
Have you tried accessing your site with a different browser? (Firefox is probably the best, although Chrome is a close second.)

You could use the header widget and then style it with custom css. It would take a bit of work with the css, but it’s possible. You would then hide the regular navigation using css.
Good luck!
