Apologies, I only skimmed your tweet. I had it in my head that you were coming from a different company I used to work for PageLines.
So, we indeed need to keep the conversation over at:
Which I’m going to follow up on right now.
You are of course welcome to use this forum again in the future for anything non-CyberChimps related.
Thanks, Bryan
Okay, no errors on my end.
It’s important to note that possibly because of how I minify the code it’s important how the theme is uploaded.
Make sure to use your WordPress admin:
Appearance > Themes > Upload
to directly upload, install and activate the latest theme zip file.
Thanks, Bryan
Thanks for the heads up. So you were able to get it to work for yourself?
I’ll have a look at the code.
Thanks, Bryan
Perhaps I misunderstood what Twitter feature you’re referring to.
Please provide a link and/or screenshot of what you’re referring to.
In any case you should have no problem figuring it out with the tools/methods I provided if you give it a shot I think you can do it.
Thanks, Bryan
Hello, the quick answer is:
#twitterbar{display:none}The long answer (to learn how to do it in the future):
– Download and start using Firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/?from=sfx&uid=266924&t=318
– Get the Firebug add-on for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843/
– Restart Firefox
– You can now dive into your code very easily; viewing your site’s front-end in Firefox find the little bug icon and click on it; the Firebug panel will now open; click the blue arrow in which you can now hover over any item on your page to find more info about the code and even test in real time CSS changes for example
– Unless you intend on always having a webmaster take care of it which it doesn’t look that way as you seem to have taken initiative with your website you should always be learning;
Learn CSS: http://www.w3schools.com/css/
Learn XHTML / HTML5: http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/ | http://www.w3schools.com/html5/
Thanks, Bryan
Sometimes it’s a matter of positioning it:
absoluteand giving it a
z-indexLet’s get a link.
Thanks, Bryan
I’m guessing it was just to get rid of that corner, top right?
Try this:
body #page, .sf-menu li, #primary-nav ul.sf-menu a:focus, .sf-menu a:hover, .sf-menu a:active, .commentlist ul.children .even, .alt #commentform textarea{background-color:transparent}Thanks, Bryan
Hi Susan,
iMacros is indeed a wonderful tool, but it’s not necessarily the best solution for every repetitive task.
– Credit Card, Name, Address etc. can be stored and auto-completed / filled by Firefox already. I recommend you use a plugin like this instead:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/autofill-forms/
– For repetitive emails I highly recommend using Gmail for a number of reasons anyway and you can used the Gmail Canned Responses add-on.
– For WordPress there are over 13K plugins at the moment that can ease almost anything.
Right now, I’m not even sure you need to use iMacros, it might be overkill for some of your tasks. If you have some more complicated tasks, I’d need you to explain them more specifically and I could tell you first; if iMacros is the right solution and second; how to use it.
Thanks, Bryan
Many people will say that the homepage needs to be the landing page, a page that engages the viewer right away and lays out what everything is about. Also people want to find contact info right away and NOT have to search for it.
So I would say general design; phone number and email found in the sidebar of every page. Then “pages” in this order in your nav menu:
Home: Make this a feature page and layout in the first slide exactly what you’re all about. Set as static front page in Settings > Reading.
Articles: Make this the blog page. Set as blog page in Settings > Reading.
Services: Make this an informational page only and link to;
Programs: Items / shopping cart page. I recommend the WP eStore plugin.
Contact: With contact form. This is because many people will simply look for this page so why not oblige them.

1. No, you could use posts for everything even pages. This is a clever trick as posts load faster and lighter than pages anyway. You’ll now need to create a custom menu in: Appearance > Menus now though.
2. Looks like a good idea to me. This could always be adjusted later.
3. I think you’ll just need to get creative and comfortable. nothing more to add for now except for a few plugin that may aid you:
List Category Posts: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/
All in One SEO Pack: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks, Bryan
Hi Wouter,
A few options and settings;
– You can limit the amount of blog posts to show on the main page from:
Settings > Reading
– For the second “blog” page you would need to simply mark all the posts to be shown there in the same category. Say there was a category “Cats” – if you go to:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/category/cats/
You’ll see that there is a page for this. Now, to link to it in the menu you would need to recreate your menu custom in:
Appearance > Menus
– A few other options would be to create a new page and then use plugins with it:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=posts
along with:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widgets-on-pages/
– I wouldn’t recommend getting into the code in the template files or WordPress, but a bit more hands on approach would be to use PHP directly in pages/posts with:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/
and code found here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
Well, that should be enough to keep you busy
.If you ever consider trying pro, you can test them here.
Thanks, Bryan
I’m very sorry for the delay in this response. This is a new forum, and things haven’t quite picked up yet.
Also, I need to set up notifications better.
Anyway, I think the simplest/best solution would be to check out this plugin:
