In reply to: [WordPress Move] Can't get it to work from web to MacPS I just wanted to add that my alternative two-stage migration plan worked.
I moved the migration files by “hand” from the web server, which I created by running Migration Assistant after configuring it to store them to the server itself (in other words, configuring the ftp destination settings so they are no longer to “localhost”), but I still entered my local url in the “new” url slot.
I then copied the files using Cyberduck to my local machine, and then ran the final phase of the restore locally, and it worked perfectly.
I think there is something broken in Migration Assistant in its ftp password verification on web to local access to a Mac running MAMP….

In reply to: Adding a hover image fade on mouseover to images on WordPress pagesHopefully needless to say, I am primarily a designer, and coding I do on a “need to” basis.
The “advanced settings” input field on the images in WordPress seems to be an unused access point for powerful and handy tweaks, and fading an image on mouse over and placing an image over another in the same WordPress display field seems to be something it could do.
Perhaps you could add some code to the original image identifying it: giving it a variable, then use that variable in the code added to the other “faded to” images advanced input field.
I have been able to find precious little documentation of this sort of thing in WordPress.
The reason why it appeals to me is that it is necessarily very asset specific, and allows you avoid thinking about linkages, and paths in code references, and the whole cascading potential nightmare if you mess with the stylesheets themselves.

In reply to: Adding a hover image fade on mouseover to images on WordPress pagesThat is a nice example. I’m using Dreamweaver CC to edit WordPress themes and as a sort of interactive CSS primer, and I thus do have access to the code for fading an image, and have got it working fine on websites I have made using the Dreamweaver responsive template.
Understanding the CSS is not so much the problem, but incorporating it into WordPress in a consistent way is the challenge I face.
I figure that if I can get myself a workflow with some code to copy and paste into the WordPress advanced settings on the second “faded to” image, I will have a mouseover fading image solution that will work anywhere in WordPress with any theme, which will be something handy to have.

In reply to: Adding a hover image fade on mouseover to images on WordPress pagesYes, and I would imagine the code in the CSS on the advanced settings would somehow make the second image overly the first. I would imagine all the custom CSS styling/
coding would take place in that second image….Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: adding a custom bullet to a post titleHi there, has one-one else got a suggestion?
This should not be such a hard problem should it?
Put simply, I want to add a custom bullet point to my blog entry titles, and make it “outdented” so the bullet hangs in space to the left of the Blog title, and the title itself should still line up with the rest of the blog text….
I’m using a modified version of the basic “Twenty Ten” theme…

In reply to: adding a custom bullet to a post titleThanks for your quick reply, but that is a simple background on editing a CSS, WordPress or no WordPress.
My question, I think anyway, is much more specific to wordpress, and maybe even specific to the them I am using, and that is how to get the title of my blogs to appear as a list item, and thus recognize the custom css I had already added for list items (as it actually also explains to do in the document you referred me to.)
If I wanted the custom bullet to appear in the body of the text, it would be a simple matter to use the WordPress admin interface to switch to html mode, and add the tags telling WordPress that the bullet was in a list, but how do I do that for a blog title?
When I enter “Edit Post” on my admin console, I can change the text only of the title, whereas I can actually change the html of the body of the post.
How do I add a list html marker to the post TITLE, as I think that is what I need to do? Simply adding a bullet point to the title creates a bullet point using the font selected for the title, and does not recognize the custom list code substituting the graphic for it…
