@mattyrob,

thanks for that, I had missed the extra appearance tab – doh!

But, I’m still not getting anything, I’ve put the subcribe2 widget on the homepage and I’m getting:

Subscribe2

You may manage your subscription options from your profile.

There’s no text area showing,

Regards

Earl

@mattyrob,

thanks for that, I think the problem may be that I don’t have a menu under Appearance> – should there be a separate menu for Subscribe2? I know that I do get options for other plugins in the >settings menu (e.g WP shortcodes),

Regards, Earl

Sorted!!

Hi Synved, it occurs to me that to save a lot of hassle I could simply overwrite the default css file with custom css from themeroller? If I can which file should I overwrite? Regards, Earl

Hi WPyogi,

I’ve used the inspect element, but haven’t solved it, I think it’s more about my knowledge of css (or lack of..) and what every element does especially ‘responsive’ declarations.

I used the inspect element in firefox, and added a padding right, but, when I actually altered my css file it didn’t mimic the changes shown.

I will let you know ‘when’ I fix it how I did it, so will leave post unresolved for the moment, thanks, Earl

Hi David, thanks for that, but, I’m a bit confused. In the options I can upload my custom css file, but I need to write a plugin to use the css file? (Themeroller). Or do I just paste the css from the themeroller file into the text area, and update? I’m sure I’ve done that before, and it didn’t work, regards, Earl

Problem sort of solved, I’ve got the shortcodes to display, but now want to to insert php into the shortcodes in the template, but will post a new thread, Earl.

Hi David, thanks very much, I’m not sure why I couldn’t get it working before, but is now working…I’ve uploaded the custom stylesheet (and no warning message), but am not sure how to get it working on the page – do I have to declare the style/class on the page? e.g.
<div id=”dialog” title=”Basic dialog” style=””custom/whatever”>
– the filename is jquery-ui-1.10.0.custom.css
– a custom option does not appear on the available themes droplist on the settings page

I also tried changing the theme from the standard ‘UI light’ in the setting to Eggplant, just to see what happens, but no change on the page

Also, does the plugin put the script into a header? (e.g. Mythme/header.php) the reason I’m asking is because of concerns of overwrites of the script when my theme is updated (twenty eleven)

Many thanks Earl

Hi Synved, thanks for that, when you get around to it the code is here, it’s a very handy function for on page conversions, and I don’t think anyone else has it except ‘wp ui’ which is now out of date and the author has disappeared, regards Earl

Hi Ravan, thanks for that, the code I’m using at the moment is:

<iframe src=”https://player.vimeo.com/video/57476212?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=a39771&#8243; width=”500″ height=”281″ frameborder=”0″ webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

What do I need to change?

Also, I’ve got an image lightbox working on a page with the following code:

<img src=”https://dogsofannwn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/CONQUEST-A1.jpg&#8221; alt=”Conquest Dogs Of Annwn” width=”500″ height=”281″ class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-84″ />

but with the following code on a post the lightbox doesn’t work, what do I need to add please:

<img src=”https://dogsofannwn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/senlac-hill.jpg&#8221; alt=”Senlac Hill Teaser Image.”/> (I tried adding width=”500″ height=”281″ which reduced the image size on the page, but it didn’t work),

Thanks for any help, Earl

Thanks alchymyth,

Yes, I’m referring to the posts page.

I’m using a static page for the homepage that uses the default template, but I need to have a blog page that does the same as the homepage does format wise:

I want this page, to look like this page (which is what my homepage will look like, I’m testing different plugins out on the site, so it’s a bit messy at the mo),

Can I create a new template for the homepage, then alter the default template to use as the blog index (does that make sense?).

As the blog page won’t accept code (I think), I intend to add short codes to the default template (index.php in 20/11?), and only use the default template for the blog index, but all other pages could be based on another template that I create (in my child theme)?

Any help much appreciated (you’ve helped me before), Earl

(I’m a relative newbie, but am getting to slowly understand the way things work, and have a bit/lot to learn, so, please don’t be shy of teaching granny to suck eggs)

I’m using WordPress Shortcodes which to an extent does the job well, my problem is that there is no shortcode for a dialog (which I really need), but the other elements work fine (so, worth a try)

Hi expressdecalarasi, thanks for responding, but I’m not sure what you mean, Earl

Hi thanks for that, the only files I usually copy (using 20/11) over are style.css , header.php, footer.php, and page.php or others that I may alter, but when I uploaded those with 20/12 I had a problem because there are includes files that need adding to child theme as well, so to save messing around I copied them all over, but, thanks for advice, I will delete a lot of the files from the child theme, Earl

A child theme. BTW when creating a child theme, should all parent theme files be copied?
