Hartings,

You’ve probably already checked this, but have you tried clearing all cookies and caches from the browser you’re using to login?

Yoshidesu,

Are you able to log into your WordPress admin, or is this message displayed on the front-facing side of your site? This sounds like it’s just a plugin error. Do you have a plugin called something along the lines of ‘Authenticate Spam Check?’

Suzanne,

As Tara said, try deactivating your plugins one by one to identify if it’s a plugin based issue. But before you do that, can you think back in the previous week to whether or not anything has updated? Either plugins, or your theme…anything like that?

Mgloryltd,

So you’re receiving spam submissions to a contact form on a page, is that correct? If so, which plugin are you using to generate the contact form? Many contact form plugins such as Simple Contact Form 7 allow use of Captcha to prevent spam submissions.

Zakari,

From the looks of it, it seems that a plugin (Simple Modal Contact Form) is likely causing the issue. Try disabling that plugin and testing those links again.

Tom,

No problem. You’ll actually have to use an FTP client of some sort such as Filezilla or Cyberduck to get into your theme folders. Do you have one installed?

Tijs,

As I mentioned before, if it was just as simple as editing an existing category.php and adding the script I mentioned I would be comfortable helping. However since it’s a commercial theme I am hesitant to offer advice on modifying the theme more extensively simply because I don’t have much experience with the Genesis theme, and it’s developers will be much quicker and more helpful than I!

Tijs,

Well then I’m afraid I likely can’t help you as I’m not overly familiar with Genesis. As @alchymyth stated previously, you’ll likely need to contact the developers of Genesis Themes directly as it’s a commercial theme.

Sorry I wasn’t able to help out further!

Tijs,

Alrighty well you already have the hard part (creating your child theme) out of the way, so that’s nice.

1. First off, copy the ‘category.php’ from the parent theme, into the child theme’s folder.
2. Look through the ‘category.php’ file that you have now moved into your child themes folder for the general area that you would like the category text to sit. It’s likely you’ll want it above the category content itself.
3. Place the following code into category.php and upload it to your server!

<?php
/* If the category description isn't blank...show it! */
if ( category_description() != "") { ?>
<div class="categoryDescription"><?php echo category_description(); ?></div>
<?php } ?>

Then of course you can style it any which way you choose! Keep in mind that since you are now creating your own category.php, it will not receive any of the updates that Genesis or any other theme updater pushes out. That’s likely going to be fine, but it’s worth mentioning.

Tijs,

1. It is possible to use links in the descriptions, you’ll just need to use code within the descriptions. Eg:

<a href="https://example.com">Example!</a>

2. If you already have a child theme, that’s great. Do you have any files in the child theme titled ‘category.php’?

Tijs,

Actually what might be a better solution is using the category description option in WordPress. This is built into most themes but if it isn’t built into Genesis we can always create a child theme to work around it.

To find and edit your category text:

1. Log into your WordPress admin panel.
2. On the left hand side, hover over ‘Posts’ and click on ‘Categories.’
3. Click on the category you would like to edit.
4. Fill in the ‘Category Description’ and click ‘Update.’
5. On the front end (public) side of your site, navigate to that category and try to identify if that text is showing up. If it isn’t let us know!

Tom,

That’s exactly what we were looking for! Thanks for posting that. We’re looking for line 374-382.

/**
 * Get our wp_nav_menu() fallback, wp_page_menu(), to show a home link.
 */
function twentyeleven_page_menu_args( $args ) {
	if ( ! isset( $args['show_home'] ) )
		$args['show_home'] = true;
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'twentyeleven_page_menu_args' );

What we need to do is set this to ‘false’ rather than ‘true.’ However as WPYogi stated, we’ll need to use a child theme to do this otherwise all of your updates will be ruined next time you update your Twenty Eleven theme!

After you’ve included your stylesheet (which is the only absolutely necessary file for a child theme) create a functions.php in your child theme and add the following:

<?php
/* Here we stop the 'Home' link from appearing in the main menu. */
function cancel_twentyeleven_home( $args ) {
	if ( ! isset( $args['show_home'] ) )
		$args['show_home'] = false;
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'cancel_twentyeleven_home' );
?>

That should do it for you! I’ve tested it and it’s working on my end. Let us know if you have any further questions!

You’re very welcome! Everyone makes mistakes, no big deal!

Congratulations on selling prints, that’s exciting! And welcome to WordPress!

Kevin, glad you managed to find the problem! You are correct, it does appear to be the div with an image that is causing the issue. Basically what happened is you placed that in a php script which didn’t know what to do with the div or the image it contained! If you remove line 68 and re-upload, that should send you in the right direction.
