Hi Zenaidalo,

I just stumbled across your post. It’s already two weeks old and maybe you have already gotten all the help you are looking for.

I still want to point out that much of the functionality you […]

I placed the code for prevous title, image and excerpt at http://snipt.org/uific9.
You would do the next link in the same way.

I totally second that. And its not just Castillian vs other dialects. The difficulty is that every word can have multiple meanings depending on context. Each of those meaning might call for a different word in the […]

Gravity Forms is the most powerful and versatile I know of.

It is hard to recommend anything without knowing your exact needs. Multisite seems to be even more overkill though. Could you create a subdomain, for the job tracking part?

I am wondering if you wouldn’t want […]

I like Portfolio Slideshow. It displays the images in the WP gallery that is attached to your page or post. It pulls in the title and caption that you enter when uploading an image. You have a variety of choices […]

Seems to me that this could be handled with any hierarchical taxonomy. The built in ‘categories’ would probably do the job, but if you want to keep the video area separate from the rest of your blog, you could […]

Woo themes are actually very good.

Instead of altering the code of your theme you should create a child theme to your Woo theme. There is a lot of information on child themes in the WordPress codex […]

Personally, I feel she should definitely bring her blog into the new site. The new design is so much nicer and it definitely looks like the .com site is a different website. If the design of the .com blog could be […]

The most popular and highest rated membership plugin is s2Member. I have not used it myself but heard it works well.

Amazon CloudFront does content delivery. They have complete instructions on their site.

Is there a page for general settings? It would probably be listed under settings in your dashboard. You would look there first.

I completely agree with you. Given the wide variety of device sizes that we have to consider, responsive themes are the best solution. Just a bit of a learning curve, and certain limitations to keep in mind. I am using TwentyEleven on http://72.47.210.126/ , http://72.47.209.96/ and http://theintuitivecompass.com/book/ , three closely related…[Read more]

I love the way Twenty Eleven responds to various screen sizes. However, building a child theme to it is a bit trickier than it was for TwentyTen.You have to do define sizes in percentages and make sure things don’t start to collide, overlap or simply look weird as you resize the browser window.

It’s a WordPress bug that doesn’t allow you to edit the files in your child theme. See http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744

‘enqueue’ means ‘load them’. I assume you have BuddyPress activated. Try to create a menu (in Appearance) and add a BuddyPress item to it (activity, groups etc). It will probably show up in the front? Also, if BuddyPress was not activated, your WordPress default theme would kick in. In addition to your child-theme css, the [...]

I don’t see a problem with your code at this point. But let me tell you this, after importing content to my own site yesterday, my child theme stopped working. It took me more than an hour to get it to work again and in the end, I don’t know what made the difference.

Jake, I had not seen your comment. While keeping your theme in bp-themes seemed to work when I tested it, since you are having trouble, do it the tried and tested way: put it in wp-content > themes. Make sure that you adjust the URL as described earlier. Does anyone know how important it is [...]

Steve, I always kept my child themes in ‘themes’, but since Jake had placed it in ‘bp-themes’, I tested it and it actually seems to work.

It’s better to keep all your themes in one folder and not hidden away within BuddyPress, of course.

2. Your child-theme can be placed in either /wp-content/themes or in /wp- content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes. The important part is that you make your changes in the child-theme that you have activated by going to Appearance > Themes. Only one child theme can be activated at the same time. In your case – unless someone did something strange [...]

1. Duplicate your child-theme style.css 2. Create a new folder in your child-theme named ‘styles’. Rename the duplicate stylesheet ‘my-styles.css’. Put it inside the new folder. 3. Open ‘my-styles.css’ and delete any @import rules refering to default buddypress css files. 4. Open styles.css and delete all @import and style rules. Only the header…[Read more]
