Well,

I just installed version 1.0.1 of Brick + Mason. And the facebook like button as well as the tweet button are not showing up by default sadly :(

I went to http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/ to see if I could figure out what to do to no avail.

If anyone knows what to add or edit please post.

Let me add to the above that I've edited style.css and changed the padding items for both the #sidebar and #footerwidgets without having any discernible effect. I also tried to change the font-size in the footerwidgets--if you look at the site, you'll notice the first of the 4 is a custom menu, and its font is tiny. Increasing the font-size from within the #footerwidgets area had no effect either. Phooey, if I may say so.

I read in another forum question that to remove some of the extra space, I should "adjust the padding of #content in style.css." That's fine, but where is it? Plus I'm not too convinced at this point. LOL.

thanks again for any help.

I have had great success with this blog so far. Thank you.

I am setting up a page at http://www.mountcalvarybelleville.com/ and wasn't having any problems until now. The slider WAS working--showing multiple images--but now only shows 1.

Is there a way to reset the slider? Not sure what happened.

Thank you for your feedback.

I forwarded it again to your address.

I hope my edit in my second post wasn't interpreted the wrong way, my original question still stands. No hurry, I just noticed that all the threads around mine have been answered to some degree.

Wow . . . here's my update: I worked for quite a while (6 different phone calls to GoDaddy) with my hosting site and went full circle on a number of 'issues' they thought were off. Everything went down for a while, but all is back up now. Essentially, all we achieved was to get the permissions straightened out on the wp-uploads folder (and a few other account issues).

Now, I am still left with the situation where my slider images will not show up . . . only the latest (newest) of the posts in the slider category. What gives. I eliminated all posts, and added/remade just two, and checked the values in the Theme Options (using Dual Slider with 2 images and slider set as category there) and still only whichever slider post is the newest will display, not forward and back arrows.

Please advise.

I have created posts with bolded lines and such that don't display on the "tag" snippet page, but when I click "continue reading" all of the styles show up.

How do I get the styles on the tag page?

I have edited the WP side and even the ftp index file..

I have been having the same issue:

Has the standard post info:
http://blacktiewindowcleaning.com/tag/portland/

Has the post info I desire:
http://blacktiewindowcleaning.com/portland-or/

Is there any resolve for this?

well the default post was still there so.. the problem was that.

thanks

Hi Justin,

I've added your code under the 'Featured Stuff' and it's not made the slightest bit of difference!

I really need to get this sorted please!

Idea's?

Thanks

Hi,
I took asteriks advice and re-installed WordPress, this time as a single site, and the slider is working fine now.
Many thanks for all your help!

Justin, yes, the post is then in the "news" category. BUT, how does one get it to show up on a specific page on the website with part of it showing up on the Home page, just because it's now in the "news" category? There isn't a way to set a category for a page, unless I've missed something else, which is very possible. LOL.

In your Demo, the Blog page is a page. So how do you get those posts to show up on it? How do you tell certain categories to go to certain pages?

I can create categories, I can create posts, I'm better with the slider--I can even do both the nivo and dual sliders now, just as though I knew what the heck I was doing--but I just don't get how to point specific categories at specific pages, though I understand selecting categories for specific links and posts.

HELP!

She's baaaaack. My site still has no actual countdown happening. I have just the default option data. My understanding from the write-up was that this would produce a countdown toward Nov. 2, 2012. If that's incorrect, just let me know. Do I have to look elsewhere for an actual counter?

For the second problem, I find in the sidebar that there is a lot of wasted space above and below the RSS widgets I've installed, making the pages longer than they really need to be. There's also a fair amount of wasted space above the footer widgets. How can I change these areas?

On the other hand, the "leave reply" comment form seems to be RIGHT UNDER whatever last item is on a page, leaving no space whatsoever! How do I add a line or two to make this looks a bit better?

I have my "main" category which is the big image on in the middle. I want it to scroll between the posts. Instead it stacks the on top of each other. For instance, I have 2 posts in the category "main." Instead of two pages you can flip between its one long page. Any ideas?

Nevermind...I'm an idiot.

I didn't get an email...

In your Settings > Reading settings, next to "For each article in a feed, show" you can check-off "Full Post" and that should display the full-post, rather than the exerpt. Your featured image should still show though...

Good luck,
Justin

There is no default image size, but I can tell you that 4000 X 2667 is way too large. In general, I advise people not to go over standard resolution 1024 X 768. Images larger than that can be extremely heavy and cause page-load issues, etc...

Good luck.
Justin

There could be a background image issue. Have you tried uploading a different image to see if that works?

Also - please post a link so I can take a look!

Thanks,
Justin

Hey Tom,

Can you send me the image that you're trying to feature in the slider? I would like to test it out on my dev site...

Thanks,
Justin

Okay, cool. You can open your Style.CSS file and find the following:

.block small {
background: url("images/icon_calendar.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 center transparent;
display: none;
font-size: 14px;
padding: 0 0 0 20px;
}

What I added is "display: none;"... this will hide that info for you. Make sure you're copying a true copy of the CSS before you modify it.

Good luck,
Justin

Also what would be the easiest step to make the slider link to a new tab/window (currently using the custom link to link to another site but would prefer it to open a new window)

EDIT: NM found the answer in another thread I believe.
