In reply to: [Theme: Duena] Target a Word in Header with PHPYou are correct that adding a span and class around the last name would do the trick. And as you can see, the Site Title is not being output with raw content, but PHP instead. So here’s what you can do…
Create a child theme if you haven’t already and copy the
header.phpfile to the root of your child theme. As you’ve already noticed, the code outputting the Site Title is:<?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?>You can remove that and simply hard code your site title in place. Take note that the above code appears twice because of the SEO considerations. So replace it in both places. Then with your pure HTML in place, you can span and class it up however you’d like!
To make sure the title/logo functionality continues to work as the theme intended, be sure not to edit anything else unless you know exactly what you’re doing.
Hope this helps!

In reply to: Top nav bar won't allineI think I understand what you’re looking for. http://glui.me/?i=rkhxprc1457h9d6/2014-04-30_at_1.18_PM.png/
@media screen and (min-width: 1260px) { .primary-navigation { float: none; margin-left: 262px; } }Put that at the bottom of your child theme stylesheet or whatever you’re using to protect your CSS edits from updates.
I wrapped the CSS in a media query so it only applies to full desktop view. Anything more narrow than 1260px will take the menu back to normal.
While you’re totally free to remove the media query wrapped around that CSS, I would advise you to consider the menu views in between desktop width and mobile width. It doesn’t look that great in transition.

In reply to: twentyfourteen page not displaying responsiveIt’s actually the slider that’s causing the issue. It doesn’t seem to be responsive. Visit another page from your phone, like the Accessories page, and you should see normal behavior without the slider.

In reply to: php, html or css file locations for editingIt seems the theme author modularized the theme files a little more than one would expect.
The template you’re looking for is in
/origami/parts/logo.php.You’ll need to create a child theme and activate that first. Then copy the
logo.phpfile into the same structural location (make the “parts” directory yourself). With that done, you can edit the file in your child theme however you’d like.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Theme designers need to charge more so they can deliver moreNo I agree with you totally. While I understand an alternative route (which is what I mentioned above), I definitely don’t think it’s the way things should be. I think it’s done out of fear, honestly. The thought of not making a dime from your work is scary. Again, though, I agree with you 100%. I’m actually motivated to look at my own system now. I should be catering (and delivering) to customers like you.

In reply to: [Apprise] Fatal Error message@vpthemes – Though the immediate action you’ve given is what needs to be done to kill the error right now, you need to prefix the functions in your theme and push out an update. I can’t be 100% sure you’ve integrated the Options Framework with your theme but that’s what it looks like. All of your other functions are prefixed with “apprise_” and you need to do the same with any other functions you integrate with your theme. This most likely will not the the last time a user faces this error.

In reply to: Child Theme HelpThere’s no need to bring the shortcode.css file down into your child theme. Once in the child theme, you’re good to use its style.css file to overwrite any CSS from any file in the parent theme (or plugins, for that matter).
So if you haven’t already, create a child theme and just work inside of its style.css.

In reply to: Theme designers need to charge more so they can deliver moreThe unfortunate reality is that many users buy themes so that they don’t have to pay a designer any more than $50.
You’re absolutely right that the typical business model does not afford most theme and plugin developers (who actually make sales and have support to handle) the time and resources needed to scale their businesses. So there are quite a few folks who have ditched the lifetime updates/support model for an annual fee and limited usage based on tiered pricing.
The problem is that the aforementioned business model scares more users off than it does create the type of feelings you have. So developers have to know which approach is right for them at any given time in their growth. It’s not far-fetched that cheaper prices with lifetime usage/support is a good method for building a user base and then switching to the model you’ve mentioned later down the line is a good strategy. It’s just hard to tell when to make those changes. There’s a lot of competition in this game, you know? Getting noticed can be difficult at times.
Anyway, I agree. Now if we can get people to stop feeling so entitled to free/cheap stuff and be willing to pay more than a few bucks one time, maybe something will change.

In reply to: [Presentation Lite] small screen menuI hope Presentation Lite is all you’ll need to make the switch to WordPress. Not only do I start with Underscores, I do everything I can to keep from reinventing the [their] wheel. Underscores works to get the fundamentals right. Presentation Lite works to stick close to that. I’m glad it’s holding up well.
Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [Presentation Lite] great use for underscores themeThank you much! I think Underscores is a fantastic starting point for WordPress theme and it’s my go-to for almost every project. Keep Presentation simple was the goal. I’m glad it shows. I appreciate the review!

In reply to: How to add space between menu and dropdown submenuNo problem!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to add space between menu and dropdown submenuYou won’t be able to simply add a top margin to the submenus. If there’s an actual gap (not just visual) between the top level menu line item and the submenu it contains, moving your cursor over that gap is dead space and the submenu no longer has a reason to display (because the top level menu line item is no longer being hovered).
What you’ll want to do is create a fake space between the elements by adjusting background properties of a few different items. I’ll go through them step by step.
First, remove the background color from the submenu altogether.
.menu ul { background: none; }With that in place, we’ll take the background color you had on the entire submenu and apply it to the submenu list items instead.
.menu li { background: #7297A8; }That results in the same look as before. However, you’re now free to add a top padding to the submenu itself (which now has no background) and that will create a visual gap while leaving the structure in place. [continued from the first chunk of CSS]
.menu ul { background: none; padding-top: 10px; }
