In reply to: Spacing irregularity probably css clashAndrew, thanks so much for responding SO quickly. I could see what you are saying about the lead class. I have now put exactly the same text in the sidebar and there it behaves as I would expect, with spacing correct throughout. The first para in the main content area is also correct. So I could see that it’s the breaks on para 2 and para 3 which are wrong but I couldn’t see how to put them right.
However, I think you have pointed me in the right direction as I’ve now worked out that it’s the break style which is at fault .main-content-home br and if I make the line style there 20px it appears to resolve it (tested with firebug only at this stage). I’ve just got to check that there’s no knock-on effect elsewhere before applying it.
So, thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to mark this as resolved… but not quite yet!

In reply to: [Equal Height Columns] Possible conflicts with existing cssHi Mickey, thanks for your reply. Having put this off for more than a month with no solution, I was going to have to tackle it some other way but then you replied.
At first I thought it was working perfectly and was just about to reply to say thanks. Then I discovered a problem. It works on pages like this http://ernestcooktrust.org.uk/learning-outside-the-classroom/resources-and-links/ which is just straight-forward content. However, on pages like this http://ernestcooktrust.org.uk/grants/ where some of the content in the main content area displays posts, it pushes the right sidebar content down to below the bottom of the main text area. I have taken some screen shots to demonstrate but I’m not sure I can upload them here. Although this particular page doesn’t actually need your plugin, others do and I can’t be selective on where it is used.
Any ideas how I can get around this? Your help is much appreciated.

In reply to: Can't re-use slug from deleted pageThank so much Martin. I don’t know why I didn’t think of loading the slug to find out where it was. I’m using the Polylang plugin (for the first time so am only just finding my way around it) and found that I had deleted the original page in one language version only. Problem now solved.

In reply to: [Smooth Slider] Slider cuts of certain captionsI’m sorry, I didn’t see the post with the css solution yesterday (although I subscribed to the question I didn’t get an email alert that it had been answered).
I did the latest update yesterday and that fixed it anyway.
Many thanks.

In reply to: Custom template not allowing linksThank you so so much JungleSpace! I would have never worked that out for myself in a million years (despite already having wasted 1.5 days inspecting every bit of code and css).
Just one quick further question: I am using a child theme stylesheet. How do I denote the removal of a style (eg where you’ve said remove .container {width, margin-right}). I have had to do it in the main stylesheet for now, just by deleting it. It doesn’t seem to work putting ‘0’ or ‘none’ in the child stylesheet, which I realise is not necessarily the same thing.
Thanks again for your help.
Not understanding how php or conditional statements work, I was being rather stupid and had the
<?php boom_header_image() ?>AND<?php if( is_home() ) boom_header_image(); ?>in the header. I just realised one was contradicting the other. It now works for me.Like other posters here, I would also like to know exactly where to put the conditional statement
<?php if( is_home() ) boom_header_image(); ?>. I have tried it in the header.php (at the end) but it doesn’t seem to work and the slider still shows up on all pages (I only want it to appear on the home page). I don’t know much about php: please excuse my ignorance. It seems like a great plugin, just need a little help please.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Header Image Slider] [Plugin: Header Image Slider] box shadowI have exactly the same query and have also tried the above css in my child theme style.css – but doesn’t change it. It seems to be a great plugin but some answers to some fairly simple questions would be appreciated. Thanks.

In reply to: [Plugin Header Image Slider] only on HomePageI have exactly the same question. I’m a php novice. Which php file do I put the conditional statement
<?php if( is_home() ) boom_header_image(); ?>in? I have tried it in header.php, index.php, page.php – and the slider continues to show on all pages. Also tried functions.php which just breaks it. Does it matter exactly where in the php file the statement goes? I’m just taking wild guesses. Please someone help!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Display multiple posts on one 'post page' (3.32)Thanks Esmi, you were right. I was confused between the name of an individual post and the main blog page. Problem now solved.
