We always like to do an HTML Validation and get our clean bill of health. I hate to see error messages even if they are not affecting our functionality. Great minds think alike – I have done exactly that and left messages for the respective plugins. Thanks Anita.

Website: http://www.originalginger.comHey Anitac, what do you mean by it’s an issue that would be resolved by Facebook?

Website: http://www.originalginger.comTo check for plugin conflicts: “deactivate your plugins one-by-one until you find the one that is conflicting”. If none are, then move on to looking for errors in your code. It’s always good to do this anyways. I’d recommend http://www.w3schools.com/web/web_validate.ASP to check HTML, XHTML or CSS code site-wide. It will tell you any errors it finds so you can correct them. That may resolve your issue.
If not, I would go back to square one because the theme works “out of the box”.

Website: http://www.originalginger.comI also have a demo set up of this particular theme. Mine is working perfectly straight out of the box. If I were you I would look for broken code that might be affecting the excerpts OR check to see if there are any plugin conflicts. One little piece of code out of place like a comma can throw a wrench into things. Hope this helps.

Website: http://www.originalginger.comSunil, the excerpts is something controlled separately from the height of the slider. Are you using an excerpt plugin by any chance?

Website: http://www.originalginger.comSunil,
Did you add the following code to your CSS?
#genesis-responsive-slider {
height: 320px;
}It worked for me in Firebug. Once you make the change in the CSS and save it, you will need to purge your cache and refresh your page so that you are seeing it with the changes. W3 Total Cache is a great plugin but during development you need to keep clearing the cache to see the “live” version of the page.

Website: http://www.originalginger.comSunil, I used Firebug to add height: 500px to the #genesis-responsive-slider in CSS and it worked. Could it be that you are just not seeing the changes due to cacheing? Are you using a cacheing plugin?

Website: http://www.originalginger.comJanuary 22, 2013 at 9:31 am in reply to: How to get a Home Page Widget to Display on All pages #13707Anita, I used Genesis Simple Hooks to try it in the -genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap. The suggestion you make is effective to place the home-bottom-message text on every page; but the problem still remains on how to add that full width background (only to that section)?

Website: http://www.originalginger.comJanuary 21, 2013 at 6:53 pm in reply to: How to get a Home Page Widget to Display on All pages #13614Susan and Anita — thanks for your assistance with this. Much appreciated. Here is a link again to the site in progress: http://www.englishscholar.ca/wordpress. The section I want to display on every page is the home-bottom-message directly above footer 1, 2 and 3 area (it has association logos in it with a full width gray background). Here is the CSS code I have right now:
.home-bottom-message-wrap {
background: url(“http://www.englishscholar.ca/wordpress/wp-content/themes/legacy/images/home-bottom-message-bkgd.png”) repeat-x scroll 0 0 transparent;
/* border-top: 1px solid #eee; */
clear: both;
color: #666;
line-height: 30px;
/* padding: 40px 0 0; */
padding: 0px 0 0;
height: 138px;
}.home-bottom-message-inner {
width: 960px;
clear: both;
color: #666;
line-height: 30px;
text-align: centre;
margin: 0 auto
}For home php the code is:
if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-bottom-message’ ) ) {
echo ‘<div class=”home-bottom-message-wrap”><div class=”home-bottom-message-inner”>’;
dynamic_sidebar( ‘home bottom message’ );
echo ‘</div><!– end .home-bottom-message-wrap –></div><!– end .home-bottom-message-inner –>’;
}For functions.php the code is:
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘home-bottom-message’,
‘name’ => __( ‘Home Bottom Message’, ‘legacy’ ),
‘description’ => __( ‘This is the bottom section of the homepage right before the footer.’, ‘legacy’ ),
) );Thanks.

Website: http://www.originalginger.comJanuary 21, 2013 at 6:05 pm in reply to: How to get a Home Page Widget to Display on All pages #13604Hi Susan,
I did try it myself on my own page; but, when I use the simple hooks and place the code here:
genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap, it doesn’t include a full background width — it is sized to 960px. I would like the welcome message to be exactly as it is now (repeating background full screen width) with text 960; but on every page. Using your suggestion, is there a way to get the background full width??

Website: http://www.originalginger.comAnd for the width I would make it about 1850px wide to allow for a larger screen and then fade it out to left and right to a solid color as Diane has suggested for height. Just remember that on smaller screens part of your image will not be visible. An alternative would be to add repeat to the background code in CSS. Hope this helps.
