In reply to: [WooCommerce] Responsive Form FieldsI must say, that’s very un helpful…….. 🙁 I ask for help, and all I get is blah, blah, blah, from the plugin developer’s rep. Could it be it’s because you want people to buy Woo’s own responsive themes? Instead of adapting the one they want to use?
Pity you had nothing to say.
And that would be the fourth time I have called….. LOL! Yes, that makes sense that a login type plugin would get blocked. Thank you. 🙂
Thank you Esmi,
This is the first I have heard of such a thing, what I am not understanding is why it is only affecting this one plugin, everything else is working. This plugin has a tabbed control panel, and uses custom post types to work, pretty standard stuff.
I am wondering now if I was attacked two weeks ago on one of my blogs. I had over 1,000 hits on one post, and all came from one search term. This site sees an average of 300 per day total, so I did think it was odd.
Thanks to the link to the article, I will forward to my client, perhaps it will help them understand.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Making Contact Form 7 ResponsiveSure Evert,
The change is to your theme’s style .css file, just slip the code in at the bottom and save the file. Find the last code closing tag } add at least one key return, and put the code on that line. I would make a copy of your original CSS file before doing the change just incase you break something. LOL!
In my case, I am working with a child theme, so I put the code in the child theme’s style.css file, if you are using a child theme, do the same.
Just test drive all of your changes before calling it a day when you are done.
Good luck,
T.

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] Navigation PaddingHey WPyogi,
It’s Terry, or T…… or whatever…. LOL!
Yes, I am sure Andrew is quite busy somewhere, I have seen him here several times before. 🙂 As for a better way of searching, I’ll tell you the same thing I tell my students. “A desire for an improvement is the first step in creation.” In other words, you have to want better, before you get better.
I now have my child theme loaded into my “pre-launch” area and it is as I thought, I have solved most of the issues for iPhone/Android, but, seeing it now on my IPad, it’s got issues, mostly in the sidebar with a Google Adsense 250X250 ad loaded, it’s not being responsive, and part of it is being cut off. So, I’ll have to do some more work, but, as you know, that’s the way it is…. (sigh)
In addition to that, I have to change the font, and some other small details. This project started out from a series of responsive design classes taught by Mor-10 at Lynda.com. This theme “Nothing Fancy,” is actually a mashup of bits from two of his classes. Parts are from his class theme “Anaximander,” and his recent updated class on WP child themes.
He’s a pretty cool guy, and I enjoy his classes. It’s been a fun project for the most part, but, sometimes a bit daunting! LOL! But when you have that breakthrough, and it works, sweet!

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Making Contact Form 7 ResponsiveYes, that did work. Thank you Takayuki.
Here is the code I used.
textarea { width: 90%; }I did not use 100%, it came too close to the edge of the IPhone simulator I was using. At 90%, the text area matches the size of the forms above it.

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] Navigation PaddingNo worries Angela, I’m happy you stopped by, it has given me a chance to be of service to you.
When you first posted I went to the site you linked to, then followed it to your business site. I was doing all of this on my iPad, I noticed something going on with your social media plugin. (if it is a plugin) Going from your “Home” page to your “Portfolio” page, I noticed that your floating social tab overlaps the “Business Sites” portion of that page. Looking at it on my desk top, it does not have that issue, but, it is inconsistent on where it floats, sometimes at the edge of the browser window, then just off the page. Also, when looking at it on the iPad, it was inconsistent in showing on each page. Bringing your social icons inboard to your sidebar should solve the problem.
I try and test drive my sites on as many devices as I can before launching, by having a “pre-launch” WP install on my domain, in addition to looking myself, I have all my nerdy friends pick the hell out of my sites, and they find tons of stuff I miss! LOL! Basically, I go from my MAMP development area on my Mac, to pre-launch, to launch. By then, fingers crossed, my theme and site is as it should be. I also use the pre-launch area to get client approval before making their site live. That way I can have all the pages and structure in place, ready for making changes, or export/import, then live, gotta LOVE WP!
Andrew,
Thank you so much for your contributions to this thread. Is there a way to search inside of the support forums? Have I missed it? It would have been so much easier to just search the 2012 support forum. I’m sure this nav padding question has come up before, and been answered. It would have been such a time saver for everyone if I could have found it on my own.

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] Navigation PaddingHey, the only thing I could see at the moment was that I was run off one thread to start another, then the person who ran me off never came to help. Now that, I did sort-of take personal…. LOL!
I know what it’s like to do volunteer work on a forum, I do a few motorcycle related ones myself, so I get it.
At this point, I am just trying to get through with this one, this was one of my last changes. So far I have managed to get the site to look cosmetically similar to the current site. And, I have added Flexslider to replace the RPS slider that was not responsive. I thought I was done, but, now I have just discovered my Google ads and Contact Form 7 are not responsive and causing problems in my iOS simulator……. (sigh)
SEO is my thing, not mucking about with code, but once I learn I’m fine, thanks for the help!

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] Navigation PaddingSo, in other words, this forum works backwards to all the other forums on the planet….. brilliant! I did not know this.
I just wanted to not have Angela go off and post a new thread, then sit for days like I did waiting for help. One of the reasons I selected 2012 to make a child theme off of was that it was developed by WP, I figured the support would be great, not patchwork, as is with some theme authors. I never thought I would have to wait days for a simple answer.
As for your answer with the code, thank you, I did see this in my Chrome developer tools, but I did not recognize it as what I needed. I think the “margin” part threw me off, I am new to responsive design, pixels I am used to, not rem values.
I just tried the code you mentioned with the value of “1” replacing “2” that gives me the room I need in my menu. Thank You!

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] Navigation PaddingWPyogi,
Thank you for your suggestion on using Firebug to look at the CSS code, I have been trying something similar with Chrome’s developer tools, as of yet, I have not found the padding code. And yes, I am making a child theme.
Now, for another matter, and, please understand, I am saying this with the most respect. This is my thread, and Angela is most welcome to stay and follow, or post to this thread. I don’t care that you are a moderator, you will not run people off of my threads. I had someone else run me off of a navigation thread earlier, so I made this thread thinking he would then help me, and he never offered any help. So, in light of that, I will not let myself, or others be bullied off of a thread, especially my own.

In reply to: [Recent Posts Slider] [Plugin: Recent Posts Slider] Make it responsive?This looked promising, but, it’s not working for me, it’s most likely my lack of understanding. Where is the header code placed? Second, that last bit of <ul class = code goes where? If I could get this to work, it would save me a lot of headache.
Thanks
Terry
Ok…. Here it is.
Good information Andrew. This worked for me as well, in some areas. It did not affect my links as I was hoping it would, I still have a hover state that is blue in my footer and side bar. Also, it did not seem to affect any of the links for mobile when I tested the result in my iOS simulator the links are still blue there.
I am doing a child theme as well, I would like for my links to be red, with a hover of black, and no underline. What can you suggest?
Thanks!
Terry

In reply to: [Clean Retina] Instructions?Or, the more simple way of making the “Corporate Layout” page SEO friendly is do follow my suggestion to make extra fields in the “advanced” panel where the meta description, keywords can be added, and title can be changed. This would be much easier to implement, and there would be no concerns about backward compatibility. Look at the theme code in the Talk Of The Town site for ideas how to do that. I can tell you, your control panel and the one for that theme are very similar, most likely they work in similar ways.
Feedback is what open source is all about, new perspectives, and ideas being added to the original creation. This is how things grow and improve, that is why I wanted to have this discussion openly, perhaps someone will read the posts and give us new thoughts.
