April 27, 2017 at 10:11 am in reply to: No Sidebar Pro – adding widgets to footer widget area #205404nevilleMember
I don't think I was clear in my question. There is a footer. I meant a widgeted footer area, perhaps in three columns. A bit like the one in my blog that currently runs eleven40 Pro (http://www.nevillehobson.com/)
Thanks!

September 16, 2013 at 2:46 am in reply to: eleven40 – change summary posts layout on home page #62789nevilleMemberAfter a bit of tinkering and using Chrome's in-built inspection toolkit (like Fireburg; not sure what Google calls it), I found a solution that does exactly what I want.
Here's the process that got me there:
1. I discovered that the layout of post excerpts on the home page is defined within the Featured Post Grid section in style.css.
2. Next, I identified the CSS commands that define the layout characteristics of the excerpts themselves: .genesis-grid-even and .genesis-grid-odd.
3. Then, I copied the Featured Post Grid section from style.css, pasted it into Custom CSS and edited the text thus:
/* Layout change in Featured Post Grid: all excerpt posts 100% width and not two abreast */ .genesis-grid-even, .genesis-grid-odd { margin: 0 0 20px; padding: 0 0 15px; width: 100%; /* the default width is 48% */ } /* .genesis-grid-even { float: right; } .genesis-grid-odd { clear: both; float: left; } */
And it works! No side effects or weirdness anywhere else on the site that I can find.
If you have any comments on this solution, I'd appreciate your thoughts (you can see the result here: http://www.nevillehobson.com/). Otherwise, it might help if you're also considering making such a change in your eleven40 theme.
As the CSS for this is the same in the new eleven40 Pro theme (but defined within a section called "Genesis Grid Loop"), it should work there as well. Shouldn't it?
Thanks.

September 14, 2013 at 8:47 am in reply to: eleven40 – change summary posts layout on home page #62508nevilleMemberThanks @wpspeak, I appreciate your advice.
The only trouble is, that change makes every post show only as an excerpt. What I want to do is show the latest post in full, with the rest of the posts on the home page as excerpts and with each one on its own, ie, not two abreast. I don't think I explained that well in my previous post.
In any case, I implemented your suggestion on my test site first, by commenting out the two lines in home.php you said. As you can see, all posts on the home page are only excerpts. (Test site: http://www.nevillehobson.com/sandbox2/)
Looking around for further info on this, I came across a discussion in a WordPress support thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-to-show-1st-post-full-rest-as-excerpts
The solution worked for the person asking about it. When I tried it, though, I just got a PHP syntax error.
So still looking for a solution on this. Any further ideas? Thanks.

nevilleMember@Tonje there's a pretty good plugin that will do exactly what you want - show active plugins and inactive ones. I've been using it for some years; it works fine under WP 3.6.
It's WP-PluginsUsed by Lester Chan: http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wordpress-wp-pluginsused

nevilleMember@Mark Blair, I think 2-step verification with Google Authenticator is a good approach to WordPress security, and there's a plugin:

(I wrote a post on this topic in April, fyi, you might find that useful too http://www.nevillehobson.com/2013/04/17/how-to-secure-your-wordpress-site-against-hacker-attacks/)

August 13, 2013 at 11:24 am in reply to: eleven40 Pro – single home page excerpts rather than 2 side by side #56112August 13, 2013 at 11:00 am in reply to: eleven40 Pro – single home page excerpts rather than 2 side by side #56105nevilleMembernevilleMemberAdding to @KenTheriot topic - I'm looking for help on this question, too.
I haven't yet updated to eleven40 Pro on my primary blog - http://www.nevillehobson.com - that is still running eleven40 1.1 and would like to use the header image as shown in that theme, not the different look of the Pro theme.
I have Pro running on a test site - http://www.nevillehobson.com/sandbox2 - and I've tweaked the header image a bit there. Looks fine on a desktop browser (although what you see now isn't what I plan to use on the primary blog) but, boy, is it different on a mobile device, eg, a Galaxy SII smartphone!
Thanks for asking the question, Ken, keeping an eye out for some tips...

August 9, 2013 at 11:37 am in reply to: Upgraded to Genesis 2.0.0 but Post Info text now displays incorrectly #55276nevilleMember@Poursuivant - Renee, I noticed today an alert on my blog that a new version 2,0 of Genesis Simple Hooks is out. The major change says this:
Updated to use new entry hooks in Genesis 2.0.
Maybe installing that might help?

That's all I've done - no tweaks, edits, nothing: Genesis 2.0.0. installed out of the box, ditto eleven40 Pro.

@Marcy - I do intend to upgrade eleven40 to eleven40 Pro. But, I hesitate because I want to keep the orange header title background in eleven40 that looks as though is no longer there in eleven40 Pro, according to the demo site. Any idea of how I keep it, ie, what code I need to edit/add?
@Bill Murray - thanks, yes, I do use Google authorship. One thing I checked after upgrading Genesis to 2.0.0 was the link in the SEO settings. It had become unset, so to speak, in the upgrade so I enabled it again and saved the settings.@GaryJ - thanks. I tried the second option first (it's within my current skill set :). I copied and pasted the code (from line 5 onwards) into eleven40's functions.php file. It threw this error:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for gmj_fix_post_info_linked_author() in /[snip]/sandbox2/wp-content/themes/eleven40/functions.php on line 89
Line 89 in the functions.php file corresponded to this:
function gmj_fix_post_info_linked_author( $output, $atts ) {
(I've removed the code now.)
I'll give your first rec a shot, will advise what happens...
Thanks everyone, much appreciated.
