Part of my explanation got turned into hyperlinks (maybe a mod could fix please – i can’t edit it)

If you are going to add the button inside an area with an id of “your-div” you would add the code i posted in your slylesheet.

Then you just add class=”quote” to your link.

You would add a class to the element, which would look something like:

Request A Quote

Then your new quote class would need styling with css to get the background colour and padding etc. An example would look something like this:

#your-div a.quote {
background-color: #333;
padding: 20px;
}

#your-div a.quote:hover {
background-color: #ff0000;
}

The nice fading effect is the transition time which should already exist in your genesis sample theme.

First you’ll need to get rid of the text shadow on line 1343 in style.css (delete the line that says “text-shadow:1px 1px #FFFFFF;”)

To change the footer link colours find this on line 1360 of your style.css

#footer a, #footer a:visited {
color: #333333;
}

…and change the #333333 to #fff

To change the non-hyperlinked paragraph text, change line 1356 in style.css to..

#footer p {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 14px;
}

Ps: The link you gave pointed to the https version of your url and you don’t have a security certificate, which is throwing up warning messages

Is your website getting indexed by the other search engines? If not you may have inadvertantly set it to be hidden so you could check that first.

If you post a link to your website it may help diagnose what is happening. Also you could try adding the plugin they mention – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pushpress/

A slideshow could be added to any Genesis child theme. If you’re coding skills are not so good, it would be easier to pick a theme which already has a widgetized area where you want it on the homepage – but adding it to a theme which doesn’t have one is not too in-depth.

Brad’s answer just about covered everything you need to know, but i just thought i would add that you can still create your own template files too if you like.

There is a really good series explaining Genesis on Nick The Geek’s website:

There are also some great articles on wpsmith:

… and of course not forgetting Bill’s site:

Happy reading

Which slider are you using? Looking at your page source i can see the slides, but they are picking up the display:none; from the css. I would image this setting is for the slides that should not be visible (the ones that are coming next) which leads me to think it may be a settings problem – is there a setting in your slideshow plugin for the number of slides to show?

Thanks Susan – i tried several combinations thinking that the links may be a problem (i even put the link inside <code> tags but to no avail)

Thanks for resurrecting one of them anyway, hopefully it will help the op!

I am so frustrated now!

Have been trying to help with an answer but nothing happens – perhaps my advice is being filtered

You could try wpmudev.org

Seeing this thread actually inspired me to finally add the videos to my own site (something i’ve been meaning to do for months!!)

If you want to see what the wpmudev videos look like, take a look at the ones i’ve added to my site – http://poshweb.co.uk/wordpress-video-tutorials/adding-deleting-restoring-wordpress-posts/

I’ve heard that wp101.com is supposed to be quite good but it seems pricey if you want to put the videos on your own site.
There are also comprehensive videos available as part of a wpmu membership http://premium.wpmudev.org/wordpress-video-tutorials/

You could try wrapping your columns in a new div, and then adding a pseudo class to your new div, like..

.your-new-div:after {
clear:both;
}

I used this jquery plugin a while back and it was quite straightforward…

I thought it was a little clunky when i played with it…but i didn’t give it a really good test. I am currently thinking about using either ManageWP.com (monthly fee) or InfiniteWP.com (free with paid addons).

Awesome – i added the function to my home.php and it worked a treat!

Thanks very much Gary
