In reply to: Removing Home Tab from Top Navigation Bar of Graphene 1.0.7 Theme in WP
July 20, 2011 at 1:44 am #15549Um, you really should update to the latest version of Graphene. If you use a custom menu, you can do this easily.

In reply to: How do I move the position of the RSS, Twitter, and Facebook icons?
July 20, 2011 at 1:42 am #15445I’m not a PHP expert by any means, but this will involve creating a child theme.
In header.php, you will need to find this bit of code:
<div id="rss" class="clearfix">
<?php if ($graphene_settings['hide_feed_icon'] != true) : ?>
<?php $custom_feed_url = ($graphene_settings['custom_feed_url']) ? $graphene_settings['custom_feed_url'] : get_bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $custom_feed_url; ?>" title="<?php printf(esc_attr__("Subscribe to %s's RSS feed", 'graphene'), get_bloginfo('name')); ?>" class="rss_link"><span><?php _e('Subscribe to RSS feed', 'graphene'); ?></span></a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action('graphene_feed_icon'); ?>
</div>and move it into this section:
<div id="nav">Keep in mind that since the menus are generated from an array, you would probably have to place them to either before or after the menu items.
Like I said, I’m not a PHP expert, so if anyone has a better/easier/correct way of doing this, let us know.
Good luck!

First, you really want to start using Firebug. It’s great for answering this sort of question.
Use this code:
#header-menu ul li a {
font-size:10px;
}changing the size to whatever you want. You can also change the color.
Enjoy!

Try:
#header-menu li {
font: normal 18px arial;
margin: 0 2px;
}Ken
In reply to: Problem regarding the updated theme with Windows Live Writer
July 19, 2011 at 11:57 pm #15462This seems like a problem with Windows Live Writer. Are you able to use WordPress and Graphene without any problems?
You can create a custom menu that contains just a single category in Appearance >> Menus and then add it to the header menu or the secondary menu.
For examples, you can see my book blog where I have a custom menu with four categories placed on the secondary menu, or my personal blog, where I have a custom menu on both the header menu and the secondary menu.

Add
target="blank"The format goes like this:
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="blank">Link Name</a>I make all my links open in a new window, so if my readers don’t like it, all they have to do is close the window and my site is still there.
See this page for more help with anchor tags.
Have fun!

Why don’t you use a static front page that lets everyone know your site is still under construction?
Alternatively, under “General Settings” you can enter a dummy “Site Address (URL),” which would result in “website not found” error.
Just don’t forget to bookmark your login page.

I’m not quite sure what you mean “fit perfectly in the background”. If you tile the background image, you can use pretty much any size you want (within reason).
However, if you want an image that will stretch across the entire background (with no repeat), that will depend on the size of your browser window, and hence the size of your monitor. A smaller monitor will only display a part of the image, whereas a larger image will show the entire image with black space around it.
If you want a single image to stretch to cover the background, regardless of the size of the browser window, you can add this to custom CSS:
body {
background-image: url(path_to_file);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center center;
background-attachment:fixed;
-o-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
-moz-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
-webkit-background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
}I have used this on a non-Wordpress site and it works fairly well (doesn’t work in all browers, though). Let me know how it works for you.
