Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to Modify Width of Menu ItemsI’m sorry, where are you seeing that? I don’t see it in the source code via the browser or in any of the theme files.
What exactly would I need to add to the CSS to dictate the width of the menu items?
Thanks so much.

In reply to: How to Modify Width of Menu ItemsThank you. Here’s the link:

I need to move the blog menu item, currently under “Contact Us”, to the main menu without it getting bumped to the next line.
I did look through the elements and it seems that the classes are being created as they are normally by default by wp_nav_menu (I’m assuming). Still not sure how to properly style these to change the width.

In reply to: Tagging Posts, FAQs, and DocumentsGreat, thanks so much. Got sidetracked with something so still haven’t had a chance to try this yet, but I’ll let you know how it goes.

In reply to: Tagging Posts, FAQs, and DocumentsThanks so much. Where exactly would I perform these? Functions.php?
And by ‘checking the current query vars’, you mean WP_query?

In reply to: Incorporating advanced designs into WordPress themeWhat about Genesis and Thesis? I keep reading about how powerful they are, but not sure if they would suit my purposes here. Although if they would allow me to implement something similar to what the designer designs without coding too much CSS then that would be pretty ideal.

In reply to: Incorporating advanced designs into WordPress themeCool, thanks a lot. I’ll check out Toolbox and BlankSlate.
I’m pretty sure the designer does understand coding. I brought up the idea of using themes with him initially, and he sounded hesitant, as he’s used to basically designing whatever he wants and having an experienced WP developer code it with no problem. We’re having a follow-up meeting tomorrow to discuss, but I wanted to be sure I was not totally off base before meeting with him again.
Trying to think of anything else I might need to consider for taking his designs and plugging them into WP pages.
Thank you.

In reply to: Converting Non-Child Custom Theme to Child ThemeSo maybe it was a caching issue (or user error), because I just repeated all the steps I listed above again, and now it looks fine. Was able to upgrade WordPress to 3.6, and everything’s intact. So issue resolved.
Thanks so much for your help.

In reply to: Converting Non-Child Custom Theme to Child ThemeThanks. What I did was create a directory under themes called twentyeleven-child, and I copied the customized set of files from the parent twentyeleven folder to twentyeleven-child, except for functions.php. At this point the child theme worked fine.
I then copied the most recent version of twentyeleven to the parent folder, and the child theme stopped working.
I actually did a dif using dif tool but still couldn’t tell which files need to be where. I know functions.php can’t be the same in both the parent and child folders. I need the customized files to be in the child folder. Are there any other of these types of rules that I’m not aware of?

In reply to: Converting Non-Child Custom Theme to Child ThemeSorry, I wasn’t very clear about that. I meant that I copied the files of the most recent version of Twenty Eleven into the parent folder, in order to update the version. I left the modified files in the child directory.

In reply to: Plugin for Dynamic Email Address/Recipient based on Zip CodeOne thing I should mention is that the version of WordPress I have is 3.3.2, and Gravity Forms requires 3.5 or above… and the site was developed with a custom theme that blows up if I update WP. So options other than Gravity Forms might be ideal.
