    Put code in between backtick (

    Code:

    ) characters. It’s usually located above the Tab key on your keyboard. I have fixed this for you, but the code you entered may have been mangled already.

    do you mean it was designed to link to posts?

    Yes.

    Can you use it with pages instead of posts.

    Yes. Go to Graphene Options >> General Options >> Slider Options -> “What do you want to show in the slider” and select “Show specific posts/pages”.

    In the box labeled “Posts and/or pages to display” enter the ID number of the page in question.

    To find the ID:

    Edit the page. Look at the URL and you will see something like:

    wp-admin/post.php?post=132&action=edit

    That “post=132” is the ID of the page.

    It was in the regular Graphene support forum. Now I’ve moved it to Graphene Mobile Support forum. You’re in the right place.

    Server caching is generally enabled via a WordPress plugin for shared hosting, and via a WordPress plugin plus some fiddling with your server configuration for VPS.

    I took a look at the above link on my Samsung Galaxy and it just delivers the desktop site.

    I’ll move this to Graphene Mobile Support and see what others think.

    It’s hard to diagnose without seeing it, but here are a few things to check:

    1) Be sure to empty your server cache after you install and activate themes and plugins.

    2) Try disabling all other plugins to rule out a plugin conflict.

    Also, be sure to select the appropriate mobile theme in the plugin. (Which plugin depends on which mobile theme you are using.)

    No youtube video that I know of, sorry.

    Since you are only using the slider to display pictures (which is not really the way the Graphene slider was designed to be used), you may want to forgo it entirely and use something like the Meteor Slides plugin:

    It’s a fairly solid plugin that’s updated on a regular basis and is well-supported. I’ve never had problems with it, and a lot of people use it, so it’s worth a try.

    On the text size, I didn’t see any other way to change it. How else do you do that?

    Inline, you would do it like this:

    <div style="font-size: 12pt;">
    <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
    </div>

    If you have a lot of attributes to add to that paragraph, then it’s better to declare a css class:

    In child theme stylesheet or Graphene custom css option:

    .myclass {
    font-size: 12pt;
    other style stuff;
    }

    In page:

    <p class="myclass">Lorem ipsum...</p>

    Try to use something more specific than “myclass” to avoid conflicts, however.

    On the jacked sidebar, I don’t know the easy way. What would that be?

    I would use method #2. Just define a class in your stylesheet, add the style information to it, and then just add the class to the widget. Should save you some load time and go easier on your server.

    I did not remove the slider. I am just using it for a single post with a link to a movie I pay for from educhiro.com.

    This is your problem. The purpose of the slider is to slide. Using it do display a single post with a link to a movie doesn’t make sense.

    You can avoid all of these problems by just embedding the code for the post directly into your home page.

    And please don’t use headings to (h1, h2, etc.) to change the size of the text. That’s really bad practice. On a side note, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more jacked sidebar. You’re really doing things the hard way here.

    You are using an ancient version of Graphene (1.3.1) which is not really supported anymore. You need to update both Graphene and WordPress and see if the problem goes away.

    If not, try temporarily disabling plugins to see if a plugin conflict is the cause.
