In reply to: How to Change ads location in wpHi there,
it’s as simple as modifying the header.php file in your theme, through the use of a child theme.To give you more details, it would be helpful if you elaborated on exactly what you want to move where, and why ??

In reply to: mirroring WP content on another WP siteIt all works well as long as you’re only dealing with posts and not users. As soon as you have any logged-in users with posts, post_meta data or comments…it all gets complicated.
If you only want to deal with content, I would suggest it’s quite easy to just export an .xml of the data from site one and import it to site two.
ManageWP is just a couple bucks a month btw, so it seems to me it would be a good savings of time for small amount of money (2 cents).
Cheers!

In reply to: menu help (make a tab not a page)The galleries page is what we call an “end point”, which means it doesn’t require a page to be created to display the content. However you’ll notice it does have a unique URL.
That URL is what you can turn into a menu item and use to direct any clicks to the galleries end point, without creating a new (landing) page.

In reply to: Limit Comment Per Page?Sounds like this plugin would be a good fit and could be used to replace your current comments with paging:

In reply to: mirroring WP content on another WP siteWe’ve done this frequently with one of two methods:
1) ManageWP.com is a great resource to use, because you can clone any content from one site to another and then, whenever you publish new content, push it out to ALL sites in one action
2) WordPress multisite. I used to recommend this and install it frequently for my franchise clients, but not as much any more. It has the advantage if you want to control all the sites yourself, but a lot of overhead (including having one shared database).
Both of these solutions can be implemented pretty quickly, but I would recommend ManageWP as your first choice.
Cheers!

In reply to: Adding customisable colours to child themeHi there!
To add a new option to the customizer would require the same amount of CSS knowledge as making a quick snippet for your child theme…PLUS… knowledge of PHP and hooks in order to connect it all together.My suggestion is to just add a basic style sheet in the child theme that has a list of default rules (or commented-out rules).
Since the child theme css will take priority over the parent by default, this give you and your user the ability to just pick the hex color from a free online resource: https://www.google.com/search?q=online+color+picker
and then paste in that value.
This is how we do it with our free Responsive Child theme for all our students, and it’s quite easy and natural for anyone (like the kid’s game “Mad Libs”…just fill in the blank)
Cheers!

In reply to: Help on how to edit/style tags1) Need url specifically where this code is outputting to see what’s coming through
2) Are you aware of the errors in your php including the lack of closing the block off properly?
add_shortcode( 'wpbtags' ,'wpb_tag should be more like add_shortcode( 'wpbtags' ,'wpb_tag');
There are other syntax issues I see in the php, but more importantly I’m wondering why you’re bothering with this when you can likely find an existing class or id to attach your CSS rule to without all the effort.
Please advise ??

In reply to: Producthunt style site with WordPressWhile we didn’t test it ourselves (went the route of building a Meteor app instead)… it looks like a great way to save time and money if you absolutely want all those features.
However, read the fine print about how it handles the login of users, content upload, sharing and most importantly… the weekly update summary email.
It’s a nice proxy, but in the end not the full producthunt.
So for those reasons, we just added the stuff we wanted and built our own solution so it would work natively in our own theme.
We use GravityForms, our own custom CPT plugin, and the upvote plugin mashed together.
It’s fast and clean without the overhead.
I may make a mini-course on how we built it…interested in that kind of thing?

In reply to: Producthunt style site with WordPressIt’s possible to do so yes, since most of the functionality is within the realm of a custom post type plus membership access.
In researching a solution for doing the same at my site we actually built a custom app using Meteor, but found it to be overkill.
We then came back and looked at other theme solutions and found that they were asking too much (dedicating the features you want to the look of the theme).
So we just brewed our own solution (leaving off the features we didn’t want or need).
Hope this gives you some ideas… ??

In reply to: Transparent logo background?PDF’s cannot show with a transparent background, you need .png format to do that (or .bmp or .gif).
If you can still create a new logo from your original design, that’s easier than trying to remove the background from a .pdf file that you’ve exported (since the background would be the original color, likely white)
Reach out if you need more help ??

In reply to: menu help (make a tab not a page)Go into your dashboard under Appearance/Menus/Custom Links and you can create a custom URL that you can then add menus that go to any URL, whether on your site or not.

In reply to: [EDD Sale Price] Warning: invalid argument supplied foreach()Hi Daniel,
In the dashboard, when using the shortcode: [download_history]Please note, we are also running EDD Restrict Content, EDD Software Licensing, though I cannot see any interaction there.
It seems to me the issue (I seem to have solved on my own site) was just a use-case where I had created a grid of four items in variable pricing for this download (product), and after purchase… the shortcode was passing a string instead of an array (my guess… I didn’t debug). After adding the conditional check, it just seemed to work, without any further consequences on the front side.
Thanks!
