And all that “tweaking and adjusting” is part of the fun. I know it’s a bummer to try something and find a 404 or to see that all of your widgets have seemingly gone round the twist, but these experiences aren’t failures–they’re a chance to learn something. Without falling down, I’d never get a chance to get up again.

Good idea, Kim. I’m recommending it to everyone.

Try this code:

#footer {

background: #000000;

border-top: 3px solid #bbbbbb;

padding-top: 10px;

}

substituting a suitable color, else your text appears in front of your normal background, which may or may not render it readable.

The border and padding I include here make a subtle border between the post and the footer. You can see an example here. Just scroll to the bottom to see this in action.

BTW, read the forum rules and include a link to your site, which makes it easier for us to help you.

There is definitely some value to learning things the hard way, if only that you now know what not to do. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything

I have thought about writing some tutorials for WP, Graphene, HTML, and CSS, but GIYF.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the .htaccess file is normally invisible (because it has a period at the beginning), so you would need to make sure your ftp client will let you see/edit invisible files.

Not a bug, so moved to Support.

Hard for us to see what is wrong unless you change it back.

I never run into this problem with WP Super Cache. I suppose it is possible that the cache plugin and some other plugin are conflicting. (Possibly the All in One SEO plugin. I have seen a lot of people with problems have that plugin installed.)

Try disabling all plugins except WP Super Cache and then enabling the others one a time to see if this is the case.

In reply to: Menu item to the right

#15509

The custom CSS is not working because you are referring to menu-items #431 and #437, but I don’t see any menu items with those numbers. (Perhaps you edited or changed some pages around?)

Anyway, what I see for menu item numbers is:

Inicio 422

Conceitos 441

Jogos da Rodada 425

Modelos 725

Contato 717

Sobre O Autor 716

Try those numbers and see what happens.

In reply to: Social Sharing Icons in top bar not opening in new page

Not that I know of, but it is easy to achieve using a child theme.

In functions.php, find this line (it’s way down there, line# 2369, I think):

<a href="<?php echo $graphene_settings['twitter_url']; ?>"

title="<?php printf(esc_attr__('Follow %s on Twitter', 'graphene'),

get_bloginfo('name')); ?>" class="twitter_link">

<span><?php printf(esc_attr__('Follow %s on Twitter', 'graphene'),

get_bloginfo('name')); ?></span>

</a>

and replace it with this one:

<a href="<?php echo $graphene_settings['twitter_url']; ?>"

title="<?php printf(esc_attr__('Follow %s on Twitter', 'graphene'),

get_bloginfo('name')); ?>" class="twitter_link" target="blank">

<span><?php printf(esc_attr__('Follow %s on Twitter', 'graphene'),

get_bloginfo('name')); ?></span>

</a>

Notice what I’ve done here. I’ve added target="blank" inside the opening anchor tag, just before the <span> that shows the Twitter icon. Adding target="blank" causes

the link to open in a new window (or new tab, if you have that setting activated in your browser).

Now that you know that, you can change the Facebook one, as well.

Be sure to do this only in a child theme, or this setting will be lost when the theme is updated.

Have fun,

Ken

What do you mean when you say it crashed the slider? I’m using the most up-to-date version of WP, Graphene, and WP Super Cache with no problems.

(Unless you receive a lot of traffic on your blog, or you are paying too much for bandwidth, using a cache plugin is not a big priority, anyway, IMO.)

Once you activated WP Super Cache, did you test it? There is a test button just below where you activate it.
