    Hi there,

    i’m actually in the process of creating a completely new/re-designed theme. autotrader (the current theme installed) has too much of what i dont want, so i’m making it simple.

    it’ll be fully designed in a day or two, but i do have some questions:

    1) how do i change the font size for the text displayed?

    2) how do i change the color of the submit/search button?

    i will let you know if theres anything else, but those are the main two things.

    thank you

    Hi Jay,

    Actually, I was planning on Donating anyway beacuse I like what you guys have.

    I just specifically need to use my design/elements that are already on my site. I contacted the support team for Themefuse, but they are…not helpful. They believe that their product is 100% the best, and even more so, they aren’t willing to help because I need to a 3rd party plugin to work (your Car Demon).

    So yes…

    If you or BluePrintAds would at least be able to help me out with that, then I’m sure that would make my client happy.

    And, I’m willing to pay/hire someone if they can do this for me…or at least walk me through how to do it quickly.

    THX.

    Hi there Jay and BluePrintAds,

    it is called AutoTrader by Themefuse.

    It was one that I bought for the functions it advertises on the site. However, most of them were “bunk” as they wouldn’t work the way that I needed them too (on top of that, the support team was not able to address my concerns about certain things).

    Maybe you guys can help me make a decision about this…

    I plan on utilizing car demon for the car listing/inventory part of the site. Would it be easier for me to just create a “stripped down” theme of the site and then use car demon? Or would it be easier to deal with what I have and figure out why CD isn’t working.

    I think that the theme I have has alot of options that are contradicting what Car Demon does naturally, so that’s why it comes out weird. I created a different website (using a blank, basic template) and CD works fine.

    However, I need the specific header/footer/visual aspects of the site that I’ve already created, then I need to add CD to it.

    Could you guys advise me on the best way to proceed from here?

    Thanks

    Gotcha.

    Yes, thank you. I did not notice the update.

    I updated the plugin, and now the car shows up on my page! Thank you!

    I created a new mock car for everything.

    http://www.voilacars.net/cars-for-sale/2012-honda-crv-with-leather-seats

    As you can see,

    I can’t click on the tabs to access the information about safety/entertainment/etc.

    Also, everytime that I click on an image for the car, the menu gets a little “off” (you will see what I mean). Is there a way to correct this?

    Thank you

    Ok, I did a full C/P and duplicated everything that you asked…


    Fatal error: Call to undefined function car_demon_get_car() in /home4/voilacar/public_html/wp-content/themes/autotrader-parent/single-cars_for_sale.php on line 46

    EDIT: Actually, something I realized. Was I supposed to ADD this code to the new file that I already wrote? Or was I supposed to overwrite everything in the newly created file with this code?

    And also, do I still copy my single.php theme file and rename it single-cars_for_sale.php ?

    Thanks

    Okay, this is my single.php

    <?php get_header();
    $sidebar_position = tfuse_sidebar_position();
    tfuse_shortcode_content('top'); ?>
    
    <div <?php tfuse_class('middle'); ?>>
        <div class="container clearfix">
            <?php tfuse_category_ads(); tfuse_hook(); ?>
            <div class="content">
                <?php while ( have_posts() ) :
                    the_post();
                    get_template_part( 'content', 'single' );
    
                    if ( tfuse_page_options('enable_comments',tfuse_options('enable_posts_comments',true) ) ) tfuse_comments(); ?>
                <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
            </div><!--/ content -->
    
            <?php if ($sidebar_position == 'left' || $sidebar_position == 'right') : ?>
                <div class="sidebar">
                    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
                </div><!--/ .sidebar -->
            <?php endif; ?>
    
        </div><!--/ .container  -->
    </div><!--/ middle -->
    
    <?php tfuse_shortcode_content('bottom1'); ?>
    <?php tfuse_header_content('content'); ?>
    <?php tfuse_shortcode_content('bottom'); ?>
    <?php tfuse_shortcode_content('bottom2'); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Absolutely,

    Thank you for responding as this is an important issue for me…

    I’m going into my WP right now and will post the single.php

    (WordPress isn’t my main platform, so it might take me a few minutes, hehe)

    Hi there PVWD, thank you for your response…

    So I switched the code to this:

    .footer_contacts a, .copyright, .phone {
    	color: #fff;
    	font-weight: 900;
    	font-size: 1.05em;
    }
    
    .footer_contacts a:hover {
    	color: #ceb16b;
    }

    Because this was what I needed (fontsize wise).

    Now, I would like to put this same exact font size, color, weight, etc into the top menu.

    However, whenever I edit the code so that it would fit for the top menu, I do get the font change (size, color, etc.) But the “hover color” disappears…

    Basically, I want this new font with the same “hover color” font.

    How would I do that?

    Thx

    And also, if I’m hearing you correctly, anytime that I need to make a change to the CSS, I have to do so on the child’s style.css sheet in order to make sure that the changes remain permanent and are not “erased” in an update?

    Thanks

    YES

    THANK YOU.

    It is done.

    TREMENDOUS HELP.

    (I backed it up by the way, so thanks).

    Problem Resolved.
