    The s2member plugin has it’s own support-site. They will be able to tell you if / how this should work.

    Hi cybershot,

    All of that in a one-page-site?
    Why not make a static page?

    Hi Doris,

    When I click on the image of the yellow/green flower captioned “Satin Chartreuse Singed Flower”, I end up at
    http://misscellany.ca/shop/satin-chartreuse-singed-flower-2/
    This -to me- seems to be a product page.
    The same happens when I click other images… they link to their product-pages.

    What seems to be the problem?
    Did you refresh your page / empty the browsercache? after making the changes?

    Hi Patrick Kehoe,
    Can you post the URL so we all can see what the problem is?

    Can you tell us what it is you would want to see.
    e.g.
    – the lists needs to be wider / narrower
    – the line-height bigger / smaller
    – the type is too bigger / smaller

    etc.

    Hi osbllc,

    [gravityform id=1 name=QuoteRequest title=false description=false]
    is a piece of ‘shortcode’.
    There should be a gravity forms-plugin in the
    Dashboard > plugins.
    If not, check the wp-content/plugins – directory on your webserver.

    If all fails: reinstall gravity forms-plugin and see if you can access the existing form / [re]design a form.

    Hi davepr,
    Have you tried to introduce a header.php and footer.php?
    Why not ‘borrow’ one from say ‘twenty twelve-theme’, copy them to your [child]theme directory and see what happens.

    If like you seem to suggest, already works, but is in need of some css:
    – place a <div id="cookie-consent"> ...</div> around the code.
    – in the css-file style as required.
    e.g.

    .cookie-consent{background-color:#ffffff;
    color:#000000;
    height:80px;
    width:80%;
    }

    As you suggested, there are several ways to do this.
    For example:

    • Install on your PC and develop on localhost with WAMP / MAMP so you can get to grips with wordpress as well as the client’s wishes for the new site.
    • create a subdomain on the webserver and develop things there
    • create a directory on the webserver and develop things there

    The last option is easiest, it gives your client access to the development process. The possible disadvantage COULD be that website-users MIGHT find the site-in-progress. This can be taken care of by choosing a obscure directoryname.
    == == ==
    Far more important than all of this -at least I think- is to get off to a flying start. So help yourself by getting a few of the basics right.

    1. make absolutely sure what it is your client wants and expects. ‘New insights’ can, and often will, derail the process and be very timeconsuming and costly.
    2. Find a flexible WP-theme that meets -and perhaps slightly exceeds- the needs and expectations
    3. work with a childtheme so that future upgrades of the original theme will not interfere with your design alterations etc.
    4. keep it simple: ‘gatgets and eye-candy’ wear off quickly.
    5. re-inventing the wheel? Why not use plug-ins and other people’s solutions?!
    6. take your time and enjoy

    == == ==
    Installing WP is as easy as advertized.

    1. Make sure you / the webhost created a [empty] MySQL5 database.
    2. FTP / upload the latest WP-version
    3. type your url and you are guided through the process. You’ll have a functional site in minutes.
    4. find and install a versatile theme that meets your needs
    5. create a childtheme
    6. adapt the site to meet your client’s needs
    7. don’t forget things like: back-up, SEO, Google-Analytics, SPAMfilters / akismet
    8. a reasonable price for your efforts

    Om dit soort dingen te doen [en nog heel veel meer] moet je het css-bestand / of php-bestanden aanpassen naar je wensen. Beter is het maken van een ‘child theme’.
    == == ==
    A. begin met het maken van een back-up van je site.

    Tip: Gebruik plugin ‘one click childtheme’ om een child theme te maken.
    1. installeer ‘one click childtheme’
    2. activeer de originele theme
    3. Dashboard > weergave > child theme
    4. beantwoordt de vragen op het scherm
    >> er wordt een child theme aangemaakt map en bestanden zoals style.css;
    == == ==
    B. om je site aan te passen, maak je nu alle wijzigingen in de map en bestanden van je child theme.
    – Maak je aanpassingen in style.css;
    – mocht je aanpassingen willen maken in de originele php-bestanden, kopieer de betreffende php-file uit het originele theme naar de map van het childtheme. Maak hierin dan de gewenste aanpassingen.
    == == ==
    Nu terug naar je vraag:
    Als je elke pagina een eigen banner / header-afbeelding wil geven, dan kan dat op verschillende manieren. Dit is er één.

    C.Dit kan door een extra veld te creeren die je bij elke pagina voorziet van het gewenste afbeelding.

    open ‘header.php’ en voeg de volgende code toe:

    <!-- toevoeging variabele afbeelding -->
    	<img src='<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner', true); ?>' />
    	<!-- EINDE toevoeging variabele afbeelding -->

    Plaats het tussen <div id=”header”> en voor de start van de main content.
    == == ==
    Open het dashboard. Kies een pagina om te bewerken.
    Dit creert in de pagina editor van het dashbord item: ‘een extra velden’.
    Zorg dat dit zichtbaar is door deze optie aan te vinken in de ‘scherminstellingen’ in het dashbord rechtsboven.
    == == ==
    voeg een veld toe met de naam ‘banner’
    In het invulveld rechts geef je nu het pad naar het bestand op.
    Bijv. wp-content/themes/mijnchildtheme/images/ducks.png

    When shopping for a theme, most theme authors state what you can / cannot do with their theme. If the theme comes with a GNU General Public License [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License] you’ll have all the freedom you can want.
    It’s allways polite though to give credit where credit is due. So reveiling ‘your sources’ e.g. in the top of your code / in a credits section is nice.

    Hi,
    You can use <sup>this is superscript</sup> and
    <p>H<sub>2</sub>0 - Water.

    You can also use this for footnotes

    to be or not to be<sup>1</sup>

    alternatively…
    Have you searched for plug-ins?
    [I have not tried any of these…]

    In reply to: [Meteor Slides] caption

    Hi, Make sure you’ve updated to the latest versions of WP and Meteor slides.
    When selecting slides to add, as a featured image, in the right of the screen fill out the Title, caption, alt-text and description as well as which slideshow the image should feaure in.

    Possible, yes.
    Complicated nevertheless, not in the least for the visitors of your sites.

    The suggested option would mean you would have to continue a 2-3-n way split. This can only get more complicated over time.

    Why not ‘take them along’ to the ‘new site’, where a new and fresh start will integrate A-B-C etc.

    Take some time to develop ‘the new thing’ and prepare the current users. Take them along in the process, ask about their wishes and expectations…?
    Good luck with your deliberations

    Hi ashley76,

    == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
    Before you do anything else, make back-ups of all sites involved!
    == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
    You said: I want to move all the articles into one site, but keep all of the URLs intact.
    Every site has it’s own URLs. So this is like ‘having your cake and eat it.
    Can you explain in a bit more detail what it is you are trying to achieve and why? Perhaps there is (another) way.

    Transferring articles / pages from one site to another can be a tricky business!

    == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==
    Before you do anything else, make back-ips of all sites involved!
    (see: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups)
    or use a backup plug-in
    (see: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=backup&sort=)
    > choose one that meets your needs, has a large usergroup and top ratings <
    == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==

    NB! make a backup before making any changes!
    NB! Make your changes in a childtheme, not the original theme!
    (see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
    == == ==
    1. find the css-file(s) that come with the plug-in
    copy and rename the css-file to ‘plugin.org.css’
    This is your original copy should anything go wrong.

    e.g. ../wp-content/plugins/'myplugin'/'plugin.css'
    at the bottom of the css-file place the code

    <!-- changed title-size -->
    h1{font-size: 20px;} /*play with the sizes 20px, 24px, etc.*/
    h2{font-size: 18px;}
    h2{font-size: 14px;}
    or
    h1 {font-size: 3em;}
    h2 {font-size: 2.4em;}
    h3 {font-size: 1.5em;}

    FYI to see which element [h1, h2, h3, title etc.] is the culprit, go to the affected page and [in IE] press <F12> It will show you the code behind the page. Make an ‘educated guess’ and alter the item.
    Check the results, reset if need be and try again.
