It IS sort of strange that the "Featured Listings" REALLY just means "New Listings" and there is no way to select a box in the listing that designates it as a "Featured" Listing? Seriously? Why would ANYONE confuse the 2 concepts? This is a really big fail. There are about a million reasons why an older listing would need/want/expect to be featured on the home page as a Featured Listing.
I came searching for an answer because I was sure I had to be missing something.
This really needs to be fixed!
Disappointing.gailmailParticipantcould we get more specifics and exactly what goes where?....of what EXACTLY should be added and WHERE and if there is anything else to add? every time I get one of these little instrutions it never works because there is some impleied prior knowledge or extra characters etc.
add_theme_support( 'genesis-connect-woocommerce' ); is the sentence, can you show us where in this mess we can plop it?
not sure what all the line breaks and codes mean so telling us to "insert it" anywhere doesn't work!
thanks so much!==============================================================

}gailmailParticipantWhen I was there this week there were 121 people in there! If each one submits 2-3 tickets....each day....?
I really hope they had studied the stats of vistors and users and are GEARED UP with a lot of true support people. That they calcuated what percent of them visited different questions, and what percent will now have to ask with a ticket. Because they are going to get hit over and over and very basic questions about settng up the themes to look like the demos. There is no basic help or tutorials for the general public. Lots of high level jargon only.
I'm not even talking customization--I am talking about what you get and how it looks nothing like the demos and there a lot that has to happen there.....with no basic instructions! I've seen lots of admin responses that are so technical in nature and someone would jump in to help. Now that it will all be secret and private their reps are going to be driven crazy with my basic questions alone! But if that is how they want to do it, I hope the financial model makes sense because you had thousands of people searching and helping themselves. I won't even bother anymore I guess. "Why is the home page photo so much bigger than the demo" "Tell me how to get that box there on the bottom of the home page"....etc etc. "This picture isn't centered like the demo one"
They have sold Studiopress as "web site in 20 minutes" and for those who are used to changing themes and templates in Word or Powerpoint it sounds easy. It's not even on the same planet! I think there are lots of people who realized this and either gave up or searched the forums and taught themselves bit by bit.
What I am hearing is that Studipress wants a much more complicated support model--it'll be expensive for them. To get me set up to a basic functioning web site each time I try a new look and they have very different things that have to be done. With Getting started instructions as a college programming level! Yikes Be ready, I've gotten hundreds of Agentpress answers from the site and they are all now coming to YOU!!!! 🙂
gailmailParticipantOh yes, please don't take down...I will end up driving you all crazy with new questions--as will others I am sure.
I would bet the traffic to the old site is huge, and you have to ask yourselves if MOST of that traffic will then come here with tons of questions....could be a nightmare from a support standpoint unless you are REALLY ready for it. Is the traffic to that site really gone?
Studiopress is very complicated unless you are very technical, and all the tutorials/help are written at a very high level (in other words, not very clear and complete, assumes a lot of prior knowledge).
Just been looking through this new forum and for the questions I have had, I see a LOT of unresolved/unanswered questions!
gailmailParticipantI don't understand why the directions on this page are not complete and correct:
http://my.studiopress.com/setup/expose-theme/I copied the replacement code (which should be written out for us not-too-techies because the way it is written it is unclear about the using the " in it!) from another post which says it should be
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar(“Footer #1") || is_active_sidebar(“Footer #2") || is_active_sidebar(“Footer #3") ) : ?>
<div id=”footer-widgeted”>Yet I get an error of Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';'
and a line at the bottom that says ....wp-content/themes/expose/footer-widgeted.php on line 1some posts speak of other things that are supposed to done to make this work??
if so, can someone tell us what they are and PLEASE add to the documentation under Getting Started for the theme.....?????thanks!
gailmailParticipantYup, having the same problem.....????
