WP theme 305 masthead disappears

markh · 2014-09-05 01:57:02

Have created exports of the theme in version 304 and 305 in 2 zip files. Where would you like me to send them? They are identical except for the version of plugin used to create them.

Do you have an image assigned via Theme Options, or no?

markh · 2014-09-05 02:02:16

Yes. Although if I remove the image in theme options the masthead remains intact.

Mark, you can click the Email button under my headshot and send them to me there

Those who know me would tell you that I'm nowhere near as thick headed as I come off. That said, how in the world do I attach a file to an email sent from this forum?

rod barbee · 2014-09-05 06:48:51

when I click on Matt's email link, my local email client (Outlook in my case) pops up. If yours does the same, then just attach the files as you'd normally would in any email.
If not, then open your email client and email him in the normal way. The address is matthew at theturninggate dot net

Thanks Rod, That's what I needed. Attachments in outlook and thunderbird are a snap, from within the forum, not so much.

In 3.0.5, open style.css for editing.

Find:

.masthead h1 {
    background-image: url('../images/identityplate.png');

Change to:

.masthead h1 {
    background-image: url('lib/images/identityplate.png');

Does that put everything back to behaving as before, or are you still finding issues?

markh · 2014-09-05 19:29:58

Yes and no. That resolves the masthead problem. Nav remains on 2 lines. As Rod suggested I changed nav items in phplugins to span elements:
<span><a href="/index.php">Blog Home</a></span>
For both nav menu options but nav remains on 2 lines. Cleared cache. Refreshed page. No change.

The menu is fine when I enable your theme on CampagnaPictures. The problem is the formatting of your source code via PHPlugins. You should cross-reference our examples in the default phplugins.php file.

rod barbee · 2014-09-05 22:10:01

your nav is all on one line now. Are you still seeing the problem?

markh · 2014-09-06 07:14:34

Strange. Now it's OK. Something I have noticed with Wordpress before is that occasionally changes uploaded to the hosting server seem to take awhile to appear on the page. I have never seen the problem with any of my non-Wordpress sites. With them uploaded changes are visible immediately. Is this a Wordpress specific behavior? Or is it perhaps just the way my hosting service has Wordpress setup? As I've said WP isn't my strong point, but if it's something I can tweak in one of the underlying files I'm game to give it a try.

I've never noticed a problem like that with WordPress other than maybe some caching issues that were quickly resolved by clearing the cache in the browser.
Do you happen to be running one of those caching plug-ins? That might cause the delay.

markh · 2014-09-06 09:48:00

As a matter of fact I did have a plugin called W3 Total Cache running that supposedly improves the user experience. I've disabled it and will see what that does for affecting speed of updates. Good call Rod. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Later: Well, I tested quickness of code changes being reflected in the WP site and they are now, pretty much, immediate. The cache plugin was the culprit and Rod was dead on! Thank you.

I have the same error. http://www.daviddalziel.com/blog/

ID plate missing in main page and posts. In addition when I click on a post my image for that post does not show. Only the text. Not sure if that is something I have done wrong but I cant find any options to change the appearance of my posts to include the featured image.

I cant find any options to change the appearance of my posts to include the featured image

In WordPress, it's under Appearance> Theme Options > Basic Settings
