MichaelMember
I was able to solve this on my own, thanks anyway folks.
December 2, 2019 at 1:15 pm in reply to: Updated to New Genesis Framework, now site is not seeing the style sheet #495168MichaelMemberThanks Anita, it just shows Education Child theme and I know its probably an old version because it was one of my very first builds. I did resolve this issue by installing a pre version 3 copy of Genesis on both sites. Thanks Victor for your help!
Question- Does keeping these older versions of Genesis constitute a security risk?
Thanks guys
December 2, 2019 at 12:45 pm in reply to: Updated to New Genesis Framework, now site is not seeing the style sheet #495166MichaelMemberThanks Victor. Does this also apply to the Education Child theme? Having similar problems on another site using that child theme.
MichaelMemberThanks Guys! I did as you suggested Satwinder and did the trick!
MichaelMemberBrad, I got it figured out. You got me thinking anyway and I did find that page is controlled by a widget and then the genesis featured custom post....first time dealing with that. Anyhow, I did find the setting in that widget and fixed it. Thanks for your help! You're a blessing to this forum!
MichaelMemberNo, I want to make the Galleries page display all of the Portfolio Items, so it seems it would be an increase because now it limits to the last 6 Portfolio Items. Emilee wants a Portfolio Item for each photo shoot and for each of these Portfolio Items to display at the Galleries page. Currently there are 9 or 10, which do show up in the Portfolio Archive, but it only shows the last 6 on the Gallery page. I would like them all to show up at the Gallery page where the styling is more to our liking.
MichaelMemberYea, that's what I thought but when I added the code to the functions.php file, changed the number to 100, it didn't help, so I tried the plugin just in case that was what you meant.
Anyhow, I just added the code to functions.php of the child theme and no effect. Suggestions?
Thanks again!MichaelMemberHi Brad!
Thanks man for the help! I tried this code, changing the number to 100, and installed it in the functions.php file of the plugin and the main site (not in both places at the same time), but no changes. Perhaps I am not putting the code in the right place? Or do I have to declare those actions elsewhere?
Greatly appreciated!
MichaelMichaelMemberI am having the same issue with wanting to get rid of the ease in/out for the primary navigation in Author Pro. Did you ever figure this out?
September 20, 2014 at 6:30 pm in reply to: Add content to first page of genesis blog page template #125183MichaelMemberThanks for trying Brad. I had no luck with your solution which was similar to everything I had tried but a different angle using the widget area.
Anyway, I dove in and started deleting grid stuff because that was the main thing that was different from what I have seen in other templates. Line by line I started deleting and finally got what I wanted with the blog display. The red dashed separator is still giving me problems because it is being pushed down the page relative to the amount of text. On blog posts with relatively little text, the separator was up near the end of the text and going through the blog image. I think it's probably a temporary work around but I gave the .content some extra margin and it pushed everything down.....not perfect but workable.
Thanks again.
September 20, 2014 at 4:10 pm in reply to: Add content to first page of genesis blog page template #125174MichaelMemberNot sure Brad. It looked to me like she has the full width and using the secondary sidebar that hangs outside the content area. The issue for me is I want the blog posts horizontal down the page as she has. I eventually want to add a sidebar to this page but expect the posts to behave the same after that no matter how I format them.
The Balance Theme, which I am using here, comes out of the box with a different blog display than I had ever worked with in StudioPress templates so it has been somewhat of a challenge for me.
Please see-
http://demo.studiopress.com/balance/
See how the very first blog post is oversized? That was the first issue I solved.
Out of the box, it shows the first blog post oversized and the other posts in a grid, sizing them smaller, and in two columns side by side. I didn't want the oversized first post and wanted them all to be stacked on top of each other like in greets blog, not side by side in two columns. I was able to alter the first post image to be the same size as the others, hence no more big first post, but further refinements that I want here have eluded me.
As I said before, the "Category" link, when you click on that, IS displaying the blog how I want it on the first blog page. Please see-
http://www.mindjock.com/category/sentient-biology/
With the exception of the bad positioning of the dashed separator, this is exactly how I want the blog to display on all forms of the blog page. I hope this all makes better sense.
I apologize if I was not clear on that. The only issue there is the red dashed border that is supposed to be below the whole post is kind of sticking to the text for some reason. These are the two issues I am trying to fix.
September 20, 2014 at 3:35 pm in reply to: Add content to first page of genesis blog page template #125170MichaelMemberHi Brad and thanks for chiming in!
I am trying to get the Blog page to display like greet's, who originally started this thread. Here is her blog-
http://www.pain-ed.com/public/
I have several issues and hoping I didn't make too much of a mess with things. Basically, I followed this thread to get this far which included help you had given to greet.
I hope things are a bit more clear this time. I did create the custom blog page template with the code in my first post. (see above) I added in the variable
$paged = 145
which is the ID of the Blog page itself. If you visit the first page of the Blog itself, it still has the old styling- The two posts side by side.http://www.mindjock.com/blog-2/
Interestingly enough, as I am troubleshooting to figure this out, I discovered that if you click one of the "Category" links attached to one of the posts, it is displaying like I want it to.
http://www.mindjock.com/category/sentient-biology/
I will eventually have the post count set to 10 or so, but for now, I have it set at two because I only have 3 blog posts. I am pretty sure I am close and it's a matter of one or two lines of code I am not 100% understanding, as I am learning how to work with these templates and PHP.
I have also been looking for a fix on the red repeating dash image that is supposed to go below each post, but havent figured that out. I have a feeling that once I get the core of the issue fixed here, that will hopefully take care of itself! One step at a time....
September 20, 2014 at 2:26 pm in reply to: Add content to first page of genesis blog page template #125164MichaelMemberHello Everyone-
I am continuing to refine a website at-
I appreciate any help you can give helping me find the error in my code.
For starters, I have followed this thread, which has been a great start and very helpful. I like the way greet's blog looks and was shooting for something similar. After trying several different approaches with no luck, this got me furthest-
<?php /** * * Template Name: MindJock Blog * This file handles blog post listings within a page. * */ //START add page-content to first page of blogpage function add_content_mindjock_blog() { global $paged; if( $paged = 145 ) { $page_id = $page->145; $page_data = get_page( $page_id ); if($page_data->post_content != “”){ echo ‘<div class=”content-box-red”>’; echo apply_filters(‘the_content’, $page_data->post_content); echo ‘</div>’; } } }; add_action (‘genesis_before_loop’, ‘add_content_mindjock_blog’, 5 ); //END add page-content to first page of blogpage genesis();
I have Settings/Reading set to 2, mainly because I only have 3 posts in for now....waiting in more images. If you go to the Blog page, it's displaying them normally. I want to change the display to be horizontal across the page at the blog and there is a part of the code I am missing to get it to do this. The good news is, I have a clue that might help anyone who can help me. That clue is if you click on one of the category links in the blog post, they are displaying like I want them to!
Thank you again for any help you can give!
MichaelMemberThank you Brad! The no brainer solution was to add the widget.....I had forgotten that part of the template was widgetized!
MichaelMemberOK, I feel real dumb this morning! I discovered my problem was I was actually working in the dev site, but viewing the LIVE site and that is why none of my changes were "taking effect"! DOHT! Sorry for the posting, please delete.
MichaelMemberBen-
Thank you for your great suggestions! I appreciate the help man. My apologies for not answering right away, was on other projects and just now getting to this.I have gone ahead and removed the image from that widget area, replaced it with blockqoute text and styled accordingly. It was still sizing funny even though I did that so I went ahead and changed the home-1 etc width to 100%. Worked like a charm and now it sizes great on all devices I have checked.
Thank you again Ben for your awesome help!

MichaelMemberHi Jack-
I am not an expert like some of the great folks here at the forum but I have used Outreach before and I have had header issues as well. Perhaps I may be able to point you in an alternative direction, one that helped me a lot with my website building.
First- I am not familiar with the Genesis Responsive Header plugin, you may want to consider a different approach.
I found this tutorial very helpful in working in Studio Press themes-
I had a similar problem on a few websites and have since gone back in and re-coded all of them according to the above directions. It was a blessing to find these directions!
Here is a site I recently fixed using the above method.
http://www.happypeopleenterprises.com/
Best of luck and hope this helps. Have a great day!
MichaelMemberSusan! Thank you for chiming in here and no, I have not been able to solve this issue. I had to put it down for a while but I have been playing around with it a bit today and here is an update. Again, THANK YOU so much for asking!
I figured out a couple of things since my first post. For one, I neglected to add the proper code to the .css file to call these new functions....doht! Anyway, I am learning and I have made some significant progress.
First, I made some necessary changes in the functions.php file where I had some errors in my original code, see-
//* Register widget areas for paypal added by michaelwolsey
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'paypal',
'name' => __( 'PayPal Widget', 'genesis' ),
'description' => __( 'Paypal Donate', 'executive' ),
) );//* Add Paypal section michaelwolsey
add_action( 'genesis_header', 'pay_pal' );
function pay_pal() {
genesis_widget_area( 'paypal', array(
'before' => '<div class="paypal widget-area">',
) );
}These edits helped a lot but for some reason, I can't seem to find which hook I need to be using to get it in the right place over the right hand side of the header opposite the logo.
Secondly, and I suspect I don't have all the styling here correct either, here is the code I put in the .css file.
/* Support for PayPal widget area michael wolsey */
.paypal {
font-family: 'Lora', serif;
font-size: 30px;
/*line-height: 1.0;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 25px 0;*/
text-align: right;
width: 300 px;
}
.paypal p {
font-size: inherit;
line-height: 1.0;
margin: 0;
}Currently, I am using the hook 'genesis_header' which sticks the content below the header and above the nav bar. When I try any of the other hooks to try to move everything up, it throws off the header logo image. Perhaps I need to style this area a bit more to accommodate for the new widget area?
I don't want to waste too much time playing around with the style sheet because I think the root of the problem may be in using the proper hook in the functions.php file. Perhaps its a combination of the two, but I sure would appreciate some help and again, thanks for your kind offer!
MichaelMemberI agree Tony, Thank you John!
