That is the description from your custom menu, if you are using one, or the category description if you are not. (You can read this post to learn more about custom menus.
Selling music downloads? That’s a new one on me. You can always check out any sites you know of that already sell mp3’s and see what they are using. It might work on WordPress. You can also search Google.
Good luck and welcome aboard,

Are you saying that GRAPHENE’S editor_style.css is not doing anything because of the theme’s many built-in options?
No, Graphene’s editor_style.css is styling the visual editor, just like Twenty Eleven’s styles its visual editor. But if you opened both files in a text-editor (and you really should; it’s a great learning experience), you would find the code they contain to be very different. Graphene’s editor_style.css is much more plain that Twenty Eleven’s.
I still don’t know what to modify in Graphene’s editor_style.css, that’s why I asked you.
Open Graphene’s style.css and editor_style.css in a text editor and compare the two. Whatever selectors appear in the editor stylesheet, you would style to match what is in the regular stylesheet.

What you are looking for is called the “hover state.” In the past, this has been accomplished using javascript, so it may be possible by finding the appropriate javascript and adding it to your blog’s head using an action hook.
You would need both the script and the “lit up” version of the icons to make this work. Definitely worth a search on the google.

I don’t like it because I don’t understand what’s making the text bold in the first place. (This REALLY puzzled me, and still does.) It’s really better to understand what’s happening before jumping in and making changes, or else you risk making some unintended changes.
That said, I don’t think this fix will upset anything else. But like I said, I’m still looking for something less hacky.
Cheers!

Isn’t the sole purpose of editor_style.css to style the editor? Why would it need to be changed to carry out its function?
As I said, the visual editor is not wysiwig. A lot of people think so (including plugin creators, apparently), but this is simply not the case. The editor_style.css file does style the editor, but it doesn’t style it the way your blog post will ultimately look. After all, Graphene offers a lot of built-in options to control how your blog posts will look in addition to offering you a custom CSS option. Open up the editor_style.css file in a text-editor and take a look at the styling. It is very different from the regular style.css file.
I don’t think using a child theme is necessary (or indeed possible), since I could simply create a new css file like “new_editor_style.css” and direct the function to that new css:
add_editor_style(new_editor_style.css);I’m not sure that this would work, but if you want to experiment, you would want to add this in your child theme’s functions.php file. Please don’t edit the original theme files.
Good luck,
Ken
Okay, I don’t like this, because it’s a bit of a hack (because I can’t figure out how this bit of the CSS is supposed to work), but you can try adding this to your custom CSS:
#header-menu > li {
font-weight:200;
}It will work until I come up with something less hacky.

Not too confusing. The slider automatically pulls text from the excerpt (php:
the_excerpt()), so the only real way to control the text in the slider would be to put that at the beginning of your post and then add the “more” tag in the visual editor, or else WP would just use the default excerpt length. This isn’t really what you want, I know, but at least you can control the length of the excerpt.What you are really looking for is called a “pull quote” in the publishing industry. There may be a plugin that would allow you to do that. You can always search the Codex.

In reply to: Stopping the parent pages in the navigation bar from being clickable
September 20, 2011 at 1:34 am #16572What do you mean by “completely auto-generated menu”? If you mean the default menu that just shows up automatically, then, no. You’d have to create a custom menu to take its place.
If you mean a custom menu where you’ve clicked “automatically add new top-level pages,” then yes, you can.

The Facebook “like” button directs people to like the page that it is installed on. When I clicked the button in question, it showed up on my wall that I liked that particular page.
This page may help you find what you are looking for.

Please post a link to your site (along with the code) so we can see how you did it. Thanks!
