Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Harmonic] "The Sections Explained"It would be logical for someone to mention in the instructions page for Harmonic it is imperative to download JetPack first, since just about everything here we discussed depends on it.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Harmonic] "The Sections Explained"Thanks for patiently helping with my issues Kathryn. Q: does JetPack automatically get installed with the theme? This might have gotten turned off without realizing is was a theme mandate in the beginning. When you are testing themes and trying to maintain a vanilla system, things happen.

In reply to: [Harmonic] "The Sections Explained"Says my site needs to be publicly accessible to use jet pack. I’ve got an htaccess file for login cuz the site is not live yet.

In reply to: [Harmonic] "The Sections Explained"Q: what does jetpack actually do? Is it scrapping other backend information?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Harmonic] "The Sections Explained"Hi Kathryn,
There is no mention of Jetpack in any of the documentation.
Where did you find that?Can someone please define “page content section on the scrolling page”
The way this site works, this could be anything.
You have 1,2 3 pages scrolling at once. ConfusingBelow I cut and pasted from the help page you sent: And i was trying to understand that page BTW. omg,
The Sections Explained
The Front Page Template features five sections:
(Wheres ………”the template”? )Title: Displays your site’s title and tagline. If you opt for a Site Logo, it will be displayed instead of the site title.
(There is no place to upload a logo in the customizer [as per instructions], are they aware of that?).News: Displays your latest posts.
(News from where? How do you configure it?, This is the middle page of the scrolling pages? confusing)Page: Displays the page title and content from the Front Page Template.
(Where is the Front Page Template? You can set a “Page” as a front page in either the “Pages” edit section OR In the customizer Static Front Page pull down. Confusing. You can have ALLL of your pages set to front page. huh? Will the real front page please stand up.Widgets: A special widget area only displayed on the front page.
(wait a minute, The “front Page” is just a giant image, no widgets. Widgets on appear on the Non Front page pages, correct? At least with what I’m seeing…
argh…..Portfolio Front: If you have a portfolio, your most recent projects are displayed here.
(I have uploaded images to the media library and attempted to do all sorts of group etc. As per the instructions, it also says to “go to Settings → Writing → Your Custom Content Types and checking the “Portfolio Projects” . Well, there is not a “your Custom Content Types” selection in the section. This is crazy!)Thanks for any clarity
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Harmonic] "The Sections Explained"Hmm, something just clicked the whole thing on. Might have been a mis-setting in the page options. Now I’m trying to understand Portfolio. Setting up a page as a “portfolio” template produces a page that says “No Project Found”.I have uploaded images in the Add Media area and have them in the Uploaded to this page tab. What next to get them on the page other than importing them directly on the page. Or is this the way you are supposed to do it? Thanks for any help.

In reply to: [Harmonic] "The Sections Explained"And in the Cuistomizer you have under “Static Front Page” a dropdown list containing About, Contact, Mailing List, Media News Photos, Tour, Videos. These are pages I created. The page I newly created (called New Page) was set to “Front Page” In the page editor.
However I can select one of these other pages in this dropdown. Lets say I select “contact” to be “Front Page from here.THEN
when I got to the Pages section All Pages, I see Front Page in bold type after the page “Contact”AND
When I go to my “New Page” it is listed as being the “front Page”.When you hit the home button (logo type in upper left) the system favors the page selected in the Customizer.
Running WP 4.2.2
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Harmonic] Missing Home PageSame problem here. The customize option are not there and confusing. Example “Visibility” what is that? All of those Hide toggles don’t do anything that I can See. Are you supposed to set the static home page to something special? And the post page too?
Adding photos in the customizer doesn’t work for most sections. Only a few. Is this compatible with WP 4.2.2?
Thanks

In reply to: [Hostel] errorsWill there be support for calendar dates? Example booking a room from June 31 to July 1st. June 31 does not exist. It seems to work in some months (as Feb 28 to March 1, will book only 1 night) but it allows a user to select dates that do not exist in a specific month. As well, there will be an issue with leap year… 🙂

In reply to: [Cyclone Slider] [Plugin: Cyclone Slider] AlignmentMe too, is there a way to take a cyclone slider that is 300×225 and have the text in a post wrap around it? So the image is at the top of where the body copy for the text starts and the text starts just to the right of the image and flows to wrap the image.
Is it posible to use the code
[cycloneslider id=”yorsliderimage”]
and insert this into some sort of
<img class=”left” src=”http://path/to/your/image” />
code that would work?Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Themes not loading on localhostI’m assuming MAMP pro blankets the whole folder structure with the same settings.
In this case, when switching owner to _www , you see the permissions set to:
Directory: r [x] w[x] x[x]
File: r [x] w[x] x[-]And when you select the box next to either “Directory” or File” in order to change those permissions, the “set or “save” button gets grayed out.
So really all you can do is change the owner from “user” to “-www”.
Now while working on this my background images are getting lost (wheel spinning in the chrome browser)

In reply to: Themes not loading on localhostNot sure what you mean. How do you set folder permissions to 777 on a localhost folder?
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Themes not loading on localhostHmm, maybe this is only a problem in the “preview” of the themes. Seems to work after applying the theme….
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Themes not loading on localhostThanks.
In MAMP Pro I went to Hosts > General > (Disk location) Permissions, and set owner to “WWW”.The themes are showing up now. But most of the side tab links are missing (Colors, layout, Background image etc), except for the twenty eleven theme. So there is still something wrong.
Thanks for any guidance.
