Roman, that did it for all three of the issues I asked about. Thank you. I didn’t know about the off-canvas notation.

I may have a couple more style issues to ask about, but I’ll try again to figure those out on my own. If I can’t make them work, I’ll be back. But I’ll try not to bug you too much.

Thanks, Roman. Here’s the Dropbox link for the first item–blue background.
I want to change the blue background behind the menu items (home, editing services, and so on). I can’t seem to create the right setup in the additional CSS to make the change. I thought it was something to do with .main-navigation, but I’ve tried a couple of options and still can’t make the color change.

Thanks

Roman, never mind this question. I was thinking that pages didn’t have titles in the same way that posts have titles, but now I realize that they do. I can work around this. Thanks.

Roman, thanks for replying. My site’s in the building stage, so I don’t know how to give you a link. Is there a way?

You are awesome–that was the perfect fix. Thank you very much. You saved me a lot of extra typing.

Hmm… I’m not sure why that particular approach would help this situation, that of adding line or paragraph breaks to the description output, though I like the idea of using CSS to style this so I can manage the styling through my child theme.

It was my fault that you couldn’t see the link for the Big List–the page is now public. Could you take another look, check out the differences between the text in the first listing (Crayola Crayons)–where I added paragraph breaks through html–and the other listings, where the text simply runs together? Just as you and I both created paragraph breaks here in our comments so the text doesn’t run together in a single paragraph, I want to do that with the text in my glossary descriptions. If I can do that through CSS, that would be great, but reading up on line and paragraph breaks in textareas, it seems to have something to do with strings and the nl2br() function, and I admit that I have no idea what to do with something like that. (If I can add code to my child functions.php, I’d be happy to do so. I just don’t know what the code would be.)

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you, Stephen. That worked perfectly.

Okay, thanks. For some reason I was thinking I was putting this into the parent functions.php. I’ve got it now.

My thanks.

Stephen, thanks for the quick answer. (Can you tell that I’m only copying the code? I don’t really know what I’m doing.)

One more question–can I put this anywhere in the functions.php? That is, does it go inside the section I quoted above or should it be separate from that, existing as its own section of code?

My thanks again.

CodeUtopia, I just did this, added a second horizontal menu under the first. I followed the steps in this article about multiple menus.

The two basic steps are adding the ability to have a second menu and then telling WordPress where you want to put that menu.

So you don’t mess up anything important, make these changes to files in your child theme rather than the parent theme.

First you need to create a child theme. Then you need to copy both functions.php and header.php (if header.php is where your first menu is) from the parent theme to the child theme (if they aren’t created when you create the child theme).

I don’t know that you need to include all of the text from the functions.php or header.php file in the child theme (I copied the full text into the header.php but only the one section about the menu into the functions.php.) Someone who knows more about this may be able to fill in the gaps.

Then in functions.php for the child theme, add the code about the secondary menu under that of the primary menu. And in header.php of the child theme, add the code about php wp_nav_menu for the secondary menu under the one for the primary menu. (The code you add may be slightly different from that in the article–match the format from your files.)

Because I only followed the directions and don’t know any more about this, I probably can’t tell you anything else, but this method does work. Good luck.

Thank you, Brandon. I appreciate your time.

Thank you very much. I’ll check back in after the next release.

Yes, I have the Google+ URL entered in the right place in General Settings. And every page and post I tested, even including the results pages from monthly archives and tag-word searches, shows authorship. It’s just the site’s home page that doesn’t verify authorship and apparently doesn’t have authorship markup.

I checked the source code for that page and compared it to the others; the rel=”author” link is missing, though the other All in One SEO info is there. Just that one line is missing.

Maybe the home page is different because it doesn’t have a file extension?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you, henryp. That’s exactly what I was looking for. Perhaps it can be added to the basics, however, so we don’t have to use another plugin.

Andy, thank you so very much. I appreciate you letting us know.
