Quite often there is a bit of setup required to get a theme looking the thumbnail. For instance, you may need to add a featured image to your posts to get theme to appear.

For the images: Without seeing your whole style sheet, I’d say use the aside#sidebar-primary selector. So, the CSS would look like:

aside#sidebar-primary selector{
  width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}

For the rest (form, ads, twitter feed), you’ll need to make the calculations for the remainder of the media queries and apply each amount as a max-width to the container div for each element and/or the element itself. If you run into trouble with the third party content, you might check with the vendor for tips to accomplish this.

I see what you mean by “out of wack.” The items in the sidebar are not scaling to work with the narrower layout of the iPad view.

The images need changes to the CSS:

width: 100%;
height: auto;

For the form, ads, and Twitter feed need a maximum width for each media query. You’ll need to the width and padding of the sidebar to calculate this. You’ll find this information either in the code itself or by inspecting the code in the browser with a (free) tool like Firebug for Firefox.

To adjust the large screen view, for example, the sidebar width is 300px with 30px padding on each side. Take 300px and subtract 60px (30px for each side) to get 240px of usable space inside the sidebar. So, the code for the side bar in that media query would be:

max-width: 240px;

Repeat this process for each media query.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like Google needs to recrawl your site. Resubmitting your site can help them along: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?pli=1

Since you’re using the hosted version, what you call the browser version, of WordPress, you’re going to want to get support over at WordPress.com.

The theme files may have gotten corrupted. Have you tried uploading the theme again?

If you have purchased a web license for Helvetica & Helvectica Neue, go to Font Squirrel Webfont Generator.

If you haven’t, check out MyFonts.

I ended up creating a separate install with the same theme as my main business site and created the same main menus for each site. So, even though the user goes from likethegoddess.com for main content to likethegoddess.us for the portal, the experience is pretty seamless.

The one you just published is showing up fourth from the top. Check the publish date of that post and make sure it is most recent to get it placed first on the page.

When you say a duplicate, I take it you mean two links for the home in the menu.

It looks like your theme has the home page “hard-coded.” The easiest way to work with this is to create a menu at https://www.genesisportablebuilding.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php with no home page link included. Then just let the hard-coding bring the home link into the menu.

You’re on the right track. Firstly, as a best practice, create a class for the inline styles you have. It can be consolidated as follows:

‘.class-name {
background: url(‘/wp-content/uploads/Literature-Group-LOGO-3312×396-e1412800319309.png’) no-repeat;
float: left;
display: inline;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}’

I don’t see the inline code on your page; you might have already done this.

Since your logo is also hugging the top, you’ll want to add margin or padding to a div that contains both the logo and the menu, for instance, #topbar .container.

You’ll want to add <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> either before or after your <h2 class=”entry-title”> line, depending on how you want to the layout to look.

In the upper right corner of this page, click on “View your profile.” (You’ll have to already be logged on to see that link.)

On the right side of the resulting page, next to your User Profile, click on the “Edit” link.

Scroll to the bottom of the resulting page to enter your new password.

It sounds like your permalinks settings haven’t been changed from default. In the WP administration panels, go to Settings > Permalinks. Change Common Settings to any that have “sample-post” at the end.
