In reply to: [Logo Slider] cssAs someone whose job it is to write CSS all day, I couldn’t tell you. I think it’s to accommodate the previous/next button icons, but there are much better ways to do that.
You’ll have to go into the main plugin file (logo-slider.php), scroll down to line 650, and edit the CSS from there. There are a bunch of !important tags, which cause the attributes to be un-overrideable, so make sure you deal with them. Additionally, there are several media queries which contain redundant CSS (rather than only the attributes which should behave differently), so if you want to change something, make sure you get it for each media query.
I grabbed this plugin earlier today because the demo looked great and I needed to drop some linked logos into the company website, but ended up gutting the CSS and cutting the slider Javascript (didn’t need the slider functionality) to make it work. Also, the included Javascript adds a bunch of inline styling to each list item, which thwarted any attempt to modify positioning of the items, so be careful if you try to edit stuff like display and positioning.
Oh, also, I’d suggest adding some custom CSS to the .logo-img class to limit how big the logos can be – one logo I added was a bit on the big side and showed up full size. I guess the plugin assumes you’ve already sized and cropped your logos.
They aren’t talking about a button for the gallery, they’re talking about a breadcrumb navigation within the gallery so you don’t have to use the browser’s back button to get back out of the gallery.
I’m also annoyed with the lack of navigation on NextGEN. I’m looking through the PHP files in the plugin editor, but I don’t know enough about PHP to know where to even start. The only immediate solution I thought of was to put a hard-coded navigation in the page itself.
If anyone has any insight about this issue, it would be very helpful.

In reply to: How do I customize the linkbar up top?Have you gone into the themes editor (located at Appearance > Editor ) and tried to make changes to the CSS? You can easily change the font size by changing the value in the theme’s stylesheet. The name of the id/class depends on the theme (it’s likely something like ‘div#menu’).
I’m not sure, but adding graphics to the menu (like buttons) might require some mucking around in the header.php file for the theme.
As far as I know, there’s no easy way to edit this sort of stuff using options in the admin control panel.

In reply to: Syncing media library with existing uploads folderBleh, never mind. Ended up fixing this by re-importing images from the backup on my computer. They’re all out of order now, but at least they’re there.

In reply to: Moved blog to new host – no full posts showingI had this exact problem when I moved my site to a new host last week. Index page was perfect, everything else was a 404 even though the data was all there.
I fixed it by ‘refreshing’ the permalinks. Just go to the permalinks settings page, make sure it’s the setting you want, and hit save, and everything should work again.
I can’t explain why it worked because I’m not that intimate with the nitty gritty of WordPress.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: 3.0 install not parsing correctly, or somethingSo I read up on this issue some more, and it seems the most likely cause is the PHP on the server not working or being an older incompatible version. I’m currently downgrading from my backup, so hopefully the site will work again. How annoying.
