    In reply to: Neo Install Question

    #42828

    I wish I were familiar with Graphene Neo and could answer all of your questions. It’s on my to-do list, but $lack_of_time, etc. So I can only (for now) answer this one:

    Quote:
    Next, How do I know if neo is working? I don’t own a smart phone/iPhone. Is there a recommended emulator that you have experience with?

    First, there is the “User Agent Switcher” extension for Firefox, which will give you the option of seeing your website as a mobile device would see it, in addition to how other browsers would see it. It’s not perfect, but it’s very, very good, actually.

    You can read more about on its author’s (Chris Pederick) website here: http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/

    Second, with the “Any Mobile Theme Switcher” you can always view the mobile version of your site by going to this link:

    http://www.ididntprovidealinktomysitesoillneedtocopyitandpasteithere.com/?am_force_theme_layout=mobile

    😉

    I use that option, plus the Firebug extension for Firefox, to fine-tune Graphene Neo customisations. Works like a charm!

    You might also want to check if your local library has tablets that you can borrow for an hour or so to check things out. Mine doesn’t, but I know some libraries do that. Go, public libraries!

    Quote:
    Next, “Any Mobile Theme Switcher” installed V1.4 and is requesting an update to 1.6. Is there anything I need to be aware of in keeping “Any Mobile Theme Switcher”, helper.php, and mobile-neo up-to-date?

    Should also work like a charm, but since every server is a snowflake, there could be issues. Best to only upgrade one thing at a time, and thoroughly test as you go.

    Good luck! Let us know if you have issues.

    That plugin is using a class of wrapper (really bad idea, that, since almost every web site has a “wrapper”) with this code:

    min-width: 1100px;

    I’m sorry to say it, but that is really crap coding. The plugin author should know better.

    Try adding this to Graphene’s custom CSS feature:

    #Login_Form_id .wrapper {
    min-width: 100px;
    }

    This isn’t really a Graphene issue, but I hope this works for you. If it does, please take it up with the plugin author, and reference this thread.

    Marking thread as resolved. You can do this yourself as well.

    You could probably achieve this with a child theme. How much PHP, HTML, and CSS do you know?

    Right now, how are you designating a “featured” post? By adding it to a category or with a tag? You will need to use some method to indicate to WP that a post is “featured”.

    It looks like you edited a theme file to include a bunch of meta tags. (Which you really shouldn’t. Search engines just ignore them.)

    Other than that, your site looks like a fairly vanilla installation of Graphene. It’s probably a browser cache issue. Just clear your browser caches and take a look.

    BTW folks, you can always bypass your browser cache by opening a private browser window to view your site. (Incognito mode in Chrome.)

    There is always the showcase:

    https://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-showcase/

    But afaik, there is no list of sites using Graphene. I run into one every once in a while. I suppose I should start bookmarking them, because it would be/always is interesting to see how people use it.

    As for colors and layout, I always refer to The Web Designer’s Idea Book, which is now in four volumes. I own the first two and those are more than enough to give me ideas.

    In that case, try the before_content action hook widget area.
