In reply to: [Recipe Card] Remove Save Button?Hi,
Well @tabboy and @webdotcom, there’s another way you can hide the “Save Recipe” button from the card. With all due respect, @entresijo your idea is great, but it requires one to tinker with the core files of the plugin, which is not a safe thing to do specially when you need to take care of the plugin updates that would bring up the issue again.
So, here’s another way you can do this, without modifying the core files. Just add the following to your functions.php:
add_action('wp_head', 'hide_yumprint_save'); function hide_yumprint_save(){ ?> <script type="text/javascript"> $j=jQuery.noConflict(); $j( document ).ready(function() { $j('.blog-yumprint-save.blog-yumprint-action, .blog-yumprint-save.blog-yumprint-action a').css({ "text-indent":"-9999px", "background":"transparent", "padding-left":"1px", "height":"1px", "width":"1px", }); }); </script> <?php }You can then use CSS to move the print button to the left (or anywhere as needed).

In reply to: WordPress Start-to-FinishI’ll try to share my experiences as per your original query. I’m a WordPress consultant and have been doing this professionally for years so I hope it helps.
Here’s how the process looks like:
1) You first note/document your requirements as detailed as possible.
2) You come with a mock of the various layouts (they could be done just using a pencil + paper at least).
3) Now that you have the layout, you may want to delve into photoshop and create the design in photoshop. OR you may want to look for a theme that already has similar layouts and can be customized (not feasible, here’s why:)
4) Two themes that look exactly the same at the frontend can be so radically different in their functionality, features and performance etc. that it can be very easy to get tricked into buying the one that’s cheaper. Later you know that it’s poor SEO, features, settings/options, customizability and performance. That’s why a pro will recommend a premium theme that is more like a framework that comes with great SEO, features + options/settings built in and allows extensive customization regardless of the design that you want to implement on it.
5) Now comes the part of slicing the PSD and then implementing it into a WP theme. You need an excellent grasp on photoshop slicing. You will need to know the coding best practices (above and beyond the knowledge of how to code) in PHP, CSS, javascript, HTML5, “semantic SEO” (as against the most abused “SEO”).
6) You will also need indepth knowledge about implementing the bells and whistles features like newsletter integration, contact form setup, social media integration blah blah.
7) On the WordPress part you’ll need in-depth knowledge about “template hierarchy”, the WP_Query (google search, WP codex is your best friend here).
8) Finally once you have made sure that the design has been implemented, you’ll need cross browser testing etc.
9) Finally configure it for launch: webmaster tools, analytics.I can’t go into the depth of each and I can’t say that I’ve mentioned everything.
Of course it’s too easy to learn up the technical part and deliver a site as compared to understanding user-behaviour, concepts like conversion rates, landing page experience, call to action.
Learning is a never-ending process. Like I said, a software can’t build you a site that boosts “your” business. They are more on the lines on “do it the same for all”. And a typical investment into hiring someone “professional and reasonable” can start from anywhere from [moderated]. But you can get someone for [moderated] who will present you something that looks and feels right but is botched up nonetheless on the coding/performance/flexibility front and then you’ll go to hire someone on the [moderated] anyways. People learn better from mistakes, not from hardsell or opinion 😉

In reply to: WordPress Start-to-FinishWordPress is one of the easiest CMS around.
The fact of life is if you want custom design, you have to weigh the time you put into doing it yourself vs the quality of your output + the returns.
There’s no software or artificial intelligence that can tailor a custom solution for you to achieve your specific goals. You need human effort there.

In reply to: [bbPress Genesis Extend] can't use remove_action with this pluginI guess since I haven’t heard from anyone here’s are two options left:
a) Rewrite this plugin as a part of your Genesis child theme, but only using the coding-best-practices.
b) The plugin author releases a new version wherein he uses a global variable to store the instance of the class (so that it can be referenced later for remove_action).If the classname of your element contains _custom then sharethis registers an eventlistener. Just replace the _ (underscore) with a – (dash). Poor regex in w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js
