Not sure, but that looks like a custom menu added to the footer menu area. I haven’t messed around too much with the footer menu, but it is one of those other under-utilized areas.

Jon, you are really making good use of everything that Graphene has to offer. Well done!

Firebug tells me that’s in your footer widget.

You might want to go to the Graphene options and tick the box marked “Enable alternate front page footer widget area” in the widget area options if you want to change “every page except home page”.

Good luck,

Ken

No, I don’t think so. However, that is a lot of code to change. Are you doing this with a child theme? If so, check out this page in the Graphene wiki.

Plugins don’t have to be shady (although some of them are — love this expression!). It’s just that some of them don’t get along very well with the rest.

Yeah, I thought so. I noticed this happening on one of my blogs, where I just used this CSS in the child theme:

.homepage_pane img {display:none}

to make them go away, because I didn’t want them anyway. But on my other blog, I do want them to appear, and they show up just fine. The only difference between the two is that the first is a two-column format and the second is a three-column format.

Still looking into this.

In reply to: Two different sidebar box styles?

Almost —

Take a look at my personal blog. See the “Browser Check” widget? It’s just a text widget with some HTML dumped in. I inserted a <div>in the text box and styled it to have a greyish-blue background. The actual code looks like this:

<div style="font-size:11px; text-align:center; background:#EBEBFA; padding: 6px; margin: -5px -12px -10px -12px;

-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 12px;

-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 12px;

border-bottom-left-radius: 12px;

-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 12px;

-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 12px;

border-bottom-right-radius: 12px;">

</div>

The negative values for the margin pushes the grey <div> out to the edge. I also made sure that this <div> has the same rounded corners that I apply to all my widgets.

Good luck,

Well, even with child theme, you really shouldn’t alter the loop.php or loop-single.php files, because when the theme is updated, you won’t have any new features available. See the end of this post. It is much better to do this with action hooks, such as the graphene_before_post_content action hook.

(SEO – don’t get me started on that. I’ve seen people do all sorts of crazy stuff in the name of SEO and there’s no guarantee that any of it works. But that’s the subject of another post. Good content + patience = lots of followers & backlinks.)

Nathan Rice has a good explanation of how to use action hooks here. There are a couple of examples floating around on this forum. I’ll tag them “action hooks” so they’re easy to find.

Be sure to put code between backticks (`). Thanks!
