  • I tried this code with the my-custom-css plugin, and it expanded the width of the left sidebar as advertised. Unfortunately, it expanded over the left image at the top of the page. It did not expand into the blank white space at the edge of the theme.

    Any suggestions on how to expand the width of the left sidebar into the blank space at the edges of the theme rather than stepping on real estate in the center of the page?

    With more searching, I have discovered that the included stylesheets: TwentyTwelve, TwentyThirteen, and Kubrick do not work, but I previously did not think to go backward.

    TwentyTen DOES work, for both Login and Registration.

    I too am having a similar problem. I am using WP 3.8 with the default TwentyFourteen theme.

    The Login and Registration forms are oddly formatted and input boxes appear to be missing.

    Additionally, the Registration form does not seem to work. When I register myself as a new user with an email address which is not already in the system, and I have had for 12 years, it says I need a valid email address.

    My website login address is below.

    I am posting the answer here which I received from direct contact on the pinnion.com website.

    On the questions screen, click on the gear icon at the top of the center pane, select the quiz question option, then select the correct answer in the answer list.

    To be more specific, the correct selection from the gear icon drop-down menu is “This is a trivia question”.

    From your list, it appears that the Events Manager plugin is not installed (or maybe not fully configured such that WP Full Calendar knows its there). With Events manager installer and configured, you would also have Locations and Events in your list.

    If you are talking about the Tag and Category drop-downs at the top of the Full Calendar, used to down-select the events displayed…

    Go to Settings > WP Full Calendar

    The top section is titled ‘Post Types’
    Click the radio button next to ‘Events (event) Powered by Events Manager’
    The Category and Tag drop-down options will appear.
    Check the boxes to activate.

    You TOTALLY rock!!

    I love it.

    It appears from reading other posts here that you have to be using the TheCartPress ecommerce plugin in order to get the post text to display in the carousel. following is a copy of the theme author’s response to a similar question.

    “Hi,
    The excerpt carousel uses a TheCartPress function. If you activate TheCartPress plugin you will see the excerpt.
    Anyway I′m going to fix it using default WordPress function when TheCartPress is deactivated. (next version)”

    Personally, I am using TheCartPress plugin with Boot Store, and when I create a post, the title, text, picture, and background show up as I anticipated in the carousel.

    The large text on the carousel comes from the Title of the post.
    The small text on the carousel comes from the text of the post.
    The picture on the carousel comes from the “Featured Image” setting on the Edit Post page.
    The background image comes from the “Carousel” settings on the Edit Post page.

    Good luck!

    My child theme is being created to add custom post type taxonomy templates to my main theme. At the moment, the main theme does not have taxonomy templates for the custom post type and the display is defaulting to index.php (not very pretty). The style sheet I am attempting to add to the child theme contains the styling needed for the custom post type templates. The styling in the style sheet will be used ONLY for the custom post type templates, nothing else. In fact, I specifically do not want any of the custom styling to interfere with or override the main theme styling used on all standard pages.

    I have read in a CSS textbook that you can import or link style sheets directly to HTML documents and the styling will be applied only to the document to which it is attached. In the book, I can see an example of the code to use, but I am not sure exactly how to use this code in my template.

    The book says to add the following to the head of the HTML document and shows it written this way:

    <html>
    <head>
    <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”customfile.css”
    </head>
    <body>
    …….
    </body>

    This is pretty easy to understand, but in reality, no WordPress template files I have as examples are structured quite like this. The template files I see are structured as follows:

    <?php get_header ();?>
    <div class=”…….”>
    <?php …………?>
    </div>

    Inside the header.php document, I see a structure which is similar to the book example code as follows:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <head>
    <meta ……
    <meta name ……………….
    <link rel=”stylesheet”………?>
    <?php …………. ?>
    </head>
    <body>
    ……………………..
    </body>

    Can anyone give me specific guidance on where and how to use the code example from the book such that the custom css file is linked to ONLY the custom post type template? And, if there is a conflict with the primary style.css file, (which is called in the header.php file using <link rel…. >), I want the primary style.css file to WIN.

    Also, I have read in the community about using conditionals to link a specific css file to a specific template in the header.php document but I prefer to NOT do this. I want to stay out of header.php and have the custom css file called from the custom post type template.

    Also also, there is an enormous amount of code in the custom css file. I do not want to re-create everything in the child style.css or type it into the template file itself.

    Detailed help is appreciated.
