In reply to: [Flato] HELP – Full width logo not responsive!Make sure you are working in a child theme before making changes to your CSS.
Try setting the image’s width to 100%. The height will change in aspect to the width as the image is resized with a browser. Just keep in mind that the image will be loaded at full size no matter what it is scaled to. I.e., I will still be downloading a 960px logo on my iPhone regardless of what it is scaled to. It may be better to use media queries with breakpoints for different screen resolutions.

In reply to: [JustWrite] child theme – justwrite makes me crazy – child themeDid you activate the child theme in your dashboard, or is the parent theme still active?

In reply to: [BlackBird] add dividers between nav menu items@esmi, you’re absolutely right. I’ll remember to reference the child themes in the future since beginners are more likely to be jumping right in and making those changes to their parent theme. Thanks for the reminder!

In reply to: [BlackBird] add dividers between nav menu itemsYou can accomplish this with a little CSS. Add or modify this in your stylesheet:
ul.menu > li:after { content: "/"; } ul.menu > li:last-child:after { display: none; }
This will add a / to each list item with the class “menu” except for the last item. Of course, you can use a different character.
Another way that might look interesting:
ul.menu > li { border-right: 1px red; } ul.menu > li:last-child { border: none; }

In reply to: Twenty Twelve theme: Right sidebar moves below content on iPadThis generally happens when something is too large and breaks the box model, so that’s where I would start.

In reply to: Can't remove "Terms and Conditions" from front pageArandall73,
My apologies. The section you are trying to get rid of seems to be contained in a widget. While I’m not familiar with your theme, I can see that the class for that particular widget is cpo. Check under Appearance->Widgets to see if there is a widget in the sidebar named Terms and Conditions.
Good luck!

In reply to: Session to check which section of site user has come fromGrant-Senior,
Because WordPress is completely stateless, it takes some work to make sessions available. Fortunately, there is a plugin that does the work for you: Simple Session Support.
The missing puzzle piece is:
‘<?php
if ( !session_id() )
session_start();’Eric Mann has authored an alternative solution, the WP Session Manager.
I do hope this information helps. I’ll check back in the morning to hear your (and hopefully others’) thoughts.

In reply to: How can I have two separate sections of my blog?I didn’t say multisite was going to be easy—it was my first thought because you described your site as having two sides. Because you want a separate page to contain all of your sports articles, simply making a sports category will not solve the issue either as each sports article will display in between your music articles.
Part of the fun of running your own WordPress install is getting familiar with the Codex. I think this is what I would do, but someone feel free to chime in if my solution can be made simpler.
- Get familiar with the WordPress Templates
- Create a separate category for your sports articles. Pay attention to the ID of this new category.
- Alter your index.php file to exclude the sports category by ID.
- Copy the category.php file in your theme (or archives.php, or index.php, depending on which files are in your template) and rename it to category-ID.php where ID is the sports category ID.
- Create a link to the file in your menu so that your readers can clearly navigate to your new sports page!
Use a little CSS to include your custom header on your new page. Any changes made to category-ID.php should only affect the sports page. You can read more about the category template hierarchy here. If you’re really adventurous, read about the entire template hierarchy here.
I left out all of the technical parts, but this should be enough to get you going. Good luck!

Log into your dashboard, and click on Appearance->Menus. I believe the menu item you want to change is going to be labeled About.

In reply to: Using WP as the Public Front of a Small Business CMSPeter,
Without getting technical, I’d say a great place to start answering your question would be the WordPress showcase.
I think often the issue isn’t whether or not WordPress can handle what you throw at it. I think the more prevalent issue has to do with the hardware WordPress is being hosted on.
Those are my (very brief) thoughts!
