In reply to: [Menu Social Icons] Want to use the envelope Icons for something else.Hi Paul
I have tried to add the envelop as you suggested above. But I couldn’t get it to work properly. I also tried your suggestion of using the icon-envelope as well. But I could get that to work either. See Gist https://gist.github.com/robertdall/a1943bb57c9a6962a9fb
I tried to add the RSS feed icon as suggested in the Description and it added to the site perfectly just to make sure I wasn’t added the code in the improper place.
As a test I tried to add fa-map-marker Using your instructions above and I couldn’t get that to load either.
Here is the gist both the rss and map marker:
https://gist.github.com/robertdall/3d5e6ce2ded8705f7de7The site is still in dev but here is the link: http://cl.ly/0f1N071K2r3I
Also I am somewhat confused as to what a icon sign is?

I’ve never tried combining Pseudo classes before today. Thanks for your help.

In reply to: How to combine :last-child and :hover?Not exactly. The development of this site is not open to the public. (Although that would help me a lot)

In reply to: [Image Widget] Different pictures for different pagesYou might want to try a featured image widget (Although I usually code the featured images in the template myself)
That way you can set a featured image from the page it will display in the widget.
I haven’t tried any of these plugins. But here is a search of “Feature Image Widgets” and it might be a good place to start.

In reply to: [r2d2] Header Image ShenanigansHi Velanche
Sorry for the confusion on the header image and the problem you are encountering.
Yes the default image is 2200 × 230 but because of the responsiveness of the site and the how you want to header image to look good in all devices it gets a little hard to have a perfectly placed image in each device.
This is why I chose a some what repeatable image(s) For the default. I saw what Twenty Thirteen was doing with it’s header image and copied them.
I know this isn’t the easy answer you were looking for. But if you take a look at my site the actual image is 2200×223 but in a 17inch laptop the header is reduced to 1651 x 275px and then reduced further as the browser width is reduced.
It is going to take some trial and error to get the place of the image to work for you in all screens and devices.

In reply to: [r2d2] Category Description MarginsYes you got it!
As long as you have jetpack installed it will preserve all of your changes regardless of how often I update the theme.
(Lets hope I don’t have to update the theme again and have found all the bugs)

In reply to: [r2d2] Category Description MarginsHi Velanche
First I would set up Custom CSS using JetPack Plugin or some similar plugin.
That way if you update the r2d2 theme you won’t lose your css changes.
Secondly I would add this to your custom css to help with the category description.
.archive-title, .archive-meta { max-width: 918px; width: 100%; }You can then change the max width to match your content.
Also if you looking for a tool to help with the css changes I really like firebug.
Cheers
RD

In reply to: Only email on fail of update when in alpha / betaHi Otto
Nacin told me to add the automatic_updates_send_debug_email filter as well and so I copied your process again.
and added it to the plugin file.
See the gist here.
Not getting an error so let’s hope I did this correctly…

In reply to: Only email on fail of update when in alpha / betaHi Otto
Your filter did block this email:
Howdy! Your site at http://test.robertdall.com has been updated automatically to WordPress 3.8-alpha-26127-20131113.
Which if I am correct is the email sent out when a point release site (eg. normal install) is updated.
But I am still getting the
WordPress site: http://test.robertdall.com/
SUCCESS: WordPress was successfully updated to WordPress 3.8-alpha-26127-20131114Email which I believe only is sent out when your site is in beta. Without the filter I would be getting both emails.
You have any idea how to block both?

In reply to: Can't Make Widgets Work With My Own ThemeHi Victoria248
You need to register your widget in your function file see the below link.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes
and then you need to “call” the widget using the dynamic sidebar function reference see link below.

Hope that helps!
