The problem has returned. I made a video to show you what’s going on. Previously, I could re-use the same countdown timer many times just by updating the time in the settings. After the countdown expired, I could change the time to another date and the timer would appear again on my site. Now it won’t. The status keeps setting itself to “scheduled,” and the “enabled” switch won’t stay on. Here is the video.
No – I’m not a pro user. Strangely, the issue is gone and the timer is working again. However, in case the problem arises again, I’ll respond to your suggestions.
First, I’m not sure what you mean by “switch off refresh page.” Second, part of the problem that I was having was that when I switched on the enable countdown option, it wouldn’t stay on. I could toggle the switch, but then the countdown would not appear on my site. If I went back into settings to look at the timer config, “enable” was off again. Something kept switching that off.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Never mind. I need a good smack in the head.
For those of you who don’t know (or who, like me, knew but just forgot), you can click the “Screen Options” link at the upper right and deselect columns you don’t want to see.

In reply to: [Moesia] Masthead height expressed in percentage?I guess I just have a special kind of user. 😉 And I don’t mean for my reports from users to be commentary on the design, just on the fact that there are users out there who have so little experience on the web that they don’t even try to look for more content, and I guess the group of people I asked for feedback from contains a high percentage of that kind of person.
However, the other person (not the one who already followed instructions to to scroll and then thought it was broken) just got back to me after following my instructions to scroll down and said “After scrolling I am IN LOVE with the feel of this website!”
Possibly because I’m having a bad attitude about people who can’t figure out that they should try to just scroll down, I’m reluctant to add anything that instructs people to scroll. However, I may do that, and I like the idea of a button more than text that says “Scroll down for more!”
Thanks again.

In reply to: [Moesia] Masthead height expressed in percentage?I appreciate the response, and I’ll look into css media queries.
Now for a non-technical question: I’ve just got some feedback from two people on the site I’m building and both of them said “Uh….I don’t see any content.” I told one of them to scroll down, and then he started saying “Okay, so I’m seeing more stuff but I think it’s broken. Like, the picture isn’t scrolling with the text. That’s weird.”
So I’m wondering how many average web users, people who only look at ESPN and Amazon, are familiar with this kind of design. I’m befuddled by the fact that these two people didn’t think try to explore for more content. What have your observations been about how many people readily know what to do with this and how many don’t?
I totally love the design and I’m going to work on getting them to accept it. I’m hoping that shrinking the header will help them see that there’s more content below.

In reply to: [Moesia] Header Fills Whole PageFirst of all, this is a brilliant theme. Thank you for making it.
I found this thread because I also wanted to shrink the height of the header just enough to make the menu bar show at the bottom of the screen. Since I don’t know how people will have their browsers sized, I’d prefer to use percent, but if I plug a percentage into #masthead height, it’s always sized to 100% of the browser height. Is there anything to do about this?
Howdy! I’m using the Gravit theme and I’ve modified the header to do this. I don’t know your level of knowledge, so I’ll start with the most basic. The structure of Gravit is like this:
The <body> element contains a <div> with the id “page”.”
The #page <div> element then contains a <header> element with an id of “masthead” and class of “site-header”.
Within <header id=”masthead”> is another <div> with with a “site-branding” class.So, you’ve got.
<body> <div id='page'> <header id='masthead' class='.site-header'> <div class='site-branding'> </div> </header> </div> </body>I believe that #masthead / .site-header is already set to 100% width, but it sounds like you also want the .site-branding <div> to be set to 100%. See if that does what you want. If you’ll post a link to your site, I can have a look at the code.
Also – and this is important – you should create a child theme and then modify the css if your child theme. If you don’t, then if you upgrade Gravit, your modified CSS will get overwritten. Try looking at this thread to find out how to do that.

In reply to: [Alpine Photo Tile for Instagram] "Sorry:"Getting the same thing. It was working until last night, when I posted a new picture, and that seems to have broken it. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, deleting and re-adding the instagram account, and I’m using the latest update.
