Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Site Only Works in Firefox, Not Chrome Or SafariI would probably start with fixing the html errors – I think something with the way your music player is embedded might be the culprit:

That is where I would start at least, hopefully once the errors are gone it will fix it for you 🙂

In reply to: PHP, Javascript and WordPress problemI don’t know the full details of your project, but if all you want to do is display one form with a list based on what they chose from the first drop down menu, you can definitely do that with Gravity Forms, I just tested it 🙂
To do it you just set up one drop down listing all of your states, then you set up a drop down for each state with a list of the employers, then under advanced settings choose which state it is for from the first drop down menu you made.
Anyways, that is just what I would do. Especially nice also because you could easily add to/change later.

In reply to: PHP, Javascript and WordPress problemHave you tried the gravity forms plugin? That is what I would use. If nothing else, maybe look at some other plugins that are free that might have some code that would help you – TDO Mini Forms is kind of buggy in some server environments (not sure if it is 3.2.1 compatible either) but it might help you find an answer:
I am having this problen also – when I go to test my credentials it tells me they are not valid. I’ve used this plugin on previous sites without any issues before now.
I am also confused why there are now two versions of the Amazon Reloaded plugin in the WordPress Plugin Repository – I do not know which one to use, as they seem identical, and neither one works. Is there any difference between the two? They even have the same descriptions?

Anyways, subscribing to this thread in hopes to hear an update 🙂

In reply to: Idiots Guide To Re-Position Navigation Bar Please?You will have to copy the header.php file to your child theme (upload it via ftp) – then find the code for the wp-nav menu (will start with
<?php wp_nav_menuand paste it above the image (which will be commented to say it is the image).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: can not import xml files via the import toolsHow are you trying to import everything? Themes & plugins and uploads will need to be added via ftp most likely – the import tool should be able to import your posts based on the xml file you export from the old blog.
I would guess you are getting that error either from an issue with your web browser/computer firewall or it could possibly be due to your webhost – maybe they have a very low php memory limit or are using an older version of php? I would check the site on a few different computers/browsers and also check with your webhost.
Good luck!

In reply to: Membership site Themes and pluginss2member is a great plugin, and it integrates well with just about any theme. (I’ve used it with 3-4 different ones now, no issues with any of them)
I would choose a theme that looks modern and professional and matches the niche your site will be in. If you go to google blogsearch and type “business wordpress themes” or “portfolio wordpress themes” and make sure it is from the past year or so you will likely see lots of different options! There is also a commercial section for the themes here on wp.org – lots of themes to choose from that will look good and come with support 🙂

In reply to: how to use a different menu on a specific pageYou could use conditional tags:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_TagsBasically, you’d write a little php function in your theme so if it is home, it displays your alternate menu, but if it is another page than show the other one. You’d do the same thing for your footer file too, though you’ll have to be careful with the footer – you need to make sure you still have your closing php and body tags depending on the theme – you can’t just get rid of the footer file entirely!

In reply to: Thumbnail Quality 3.2.1You may want to see if your theme is using wordpress thumbnails or if it is using a script to resize – A lot of themes use the timthumb or similiar script and it doesn’t always crop very nice!
If your theme is just using the default wp thumbnails (one that you set a featured image for) then you can change your thumbnail sizes and how they crop in the media settings for wordpress – though you may need to use a plugin like regenerate thumbnails to get them all resized.
This might help:

In reply to: v3.2 Themes Not Displaying in Firefox (including Twenty Eleven)You could try doing another automatic upgrade and see if that helps. maybe it is due directly to your update – sometimes it doesn’t always go smoothly.
I am using firefox and can see all the upgraded themes just fine.

In reply to: New wp theme is in .phpAre you just looking to edit the text of the pages? To do that you can either go to Posts or Pages (posts show up as “blog posts” in the loop, pages are static pages).
If you are looking for something to pick out colors and fonts and etc. etc. then you might want to look into premium theme options that have that capability.
Also, be careful as to where you get your themes – some sites release “free themes” but they are full of spam/malware or are encrypted so you can’t edit them at all!

In reply to: [Desk Mess Mirrored] Post comment txt line is …Do you need to require someone to be logged in when they post? If not, you can just change your “discussion” settings under the general settings tab.
If you do need people to be logged in, then another easy fix would be to add a new div class for that message (you’ll see it in the comments.php file of your theme). Since you don’t have a live demo I can’t give you the exact fix, but adding some top margin/padding should do the trick to get it knocked down below the image.
So you would do something like:
.comment-login {margin-top:40px;}
And then in your comments file look for that message and then place the div tags
<div class="comment-login> some php code is here </div>Getting scraped is a part of blogging life, and it’s best to prevent it, because trying to go after people is usually not worth it.
So, what I do, which prevents nearly all scraping (since most scrapers simply just use your RSS Feeds) – is use this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss-footer/
Then you write a message in it that deters thieves from stealing your content in the first place. You can write something clever or mean or whatever – just keep in mind anyone who reads your RSS feed will see it 🙂 At the very least, you can link back to your website so at least you get links/credit to it.
You could also disable rss feeds completely.

In reply to: Setting up mutiple username accessIf you had two people registering with the same username, that could cause a lot of security issues – what if someone loses their password and needs it reset? And then you could potentially have confusion amongst users as to who is who.
While I do think it is possible to make it so you get rid of usernames completely if you do some editing of WP core files, this would create a lot of conflicts with a number of plugins – which maybe right now doesn’t matter but if you have a site for a year or two and decide to add new features later down the road could be an issue – not to mention if you do that upgrading wordpress would cause even more problems potentially.
Are you using membership plugin for your site to manage users? S2member for example lets people really easily update their nickname, without even going into the WP dashboard.

In reply to: I NEED HELPYour “pages” are archive pages based on category. So you’ll have to edit the archives template in your theme so that it shows the full post or a thumbnail. (It should be archives.php in your theme files)
This might help if you want to go that route:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Archive_IndexAlternatively, you could create page templates for each category. Just copy your index.php file, and then add the code at the top to make it a page template, and then change the loop so it pulls only articles from each category.
Here’s the how-to for that:
