Hi,
It looks like you added this somewhere as an inline style, so it is overriding the plugin’s style?.widget .geodir-search select { width: 20%; }
You can play with this selector to get rid of the borders, or hide the images altogether…
.geodir_category_list_view li .geodir-post-img { border: none; }
or
.geodir_category_list_view li .geodir-post-img { display: none; }
…of course that would hide all the images, not just the area if there is no image present (that would be more complex)
Hi Selen,
Perhaps if you supply your URL and login details we can take a look and get you sorted. If you set as private reply, nobody else will see the details 🙂
August 4, 2014 at 11:27 am in reply to: Using Genesis – category tag in div with breadcrumbs, I'm stuck! #10910Hi,
I believe this is a bug in the core plugin, and have submitted a fix for @stiofan to look at.Try adding this to your child theme’s style.css
.geodir-sidebar-wrap .geodir-company_info:first-child { margin-top: 10px; }
I can’t speak for the team regarding a refund, but i just thought i’d add my personal thoughts here to help you make an informed decision before you ask.
GeoDirectory is GeoTheme evolved! They are not designed to be used together, but GeoDirectory can be used with any normal WP theme – so you have lots of design flexibility that you didn’t have with GeoTheme.
There will also be a GeoTheme > GeoDirectory tool coming soon, so you will have the ability to export all your listings from GeoTheme and import them into the new GeoDirectory.
In my personal opinion GeoDirectory is the better tool to use long-term.
This is unlikely to be a problem with Genesis or the Genesis compatibility plugin. The core GD plugin is responsible for the content output within the sidebar.
I am guessing that because the “geodir-company_info” items are not actually widgets, that it was decided not to apply that class to them. This can be a good thing as it allows you to style them differently if you like.
The Genesis compatibility plugin does not contain any styling (very little anyway) because there are many scenarios with various themes being available, and i didn’t want to force styles that may be ok for some but not others.
In your child theme you will just need to style those divs to make them similar to your other sidebar widgets – as a start you can add this:
.geodir-company_info { background: #fff; }
I tried to view your site to troubleshoot the font-awesome issue but it is behind a maintenance screen – we would need you to add login details in a private reply to be able to look at this further – but from your image it looks as though font-awesome is not loading…
For me it’s all about having a lightweight theme that does what a theme should – display your content. There shouldn’t be extra functionality in your theme – that’s what plugins are for.
Themeforest addressed this issue a while back by making theme devs put their functionality in plugins – which is where they should be…but with a “bells & whistles” theme you are still getting a host of options which in most cases are not necessary.Of course this is just my personal opinion, but i think it is far better to spend more time planning what you actually want (and getting a lightweight theme that matches your requirements) than getting a bloated theme that caters for all use cases.
I’m not knocking Enfold by the way, as the developer of that theme is very good – it’s just that these types of themes cater for a huge audience and give lots of options to cover many different “looks”. In my eyes, if you have already planned what you want, you won’t actually need those options.
My process would be:
1) Get a clean simple theme which has an overall “look” that i want.
2) Create a child theme to make the design changes i want.
3) Get plugins for any other functionality i need (shortcodes / portfolio / ecommerce etc)@manilaboy – there are new child themes on the way, one for Genesis and one for GDF (with more to follow) so sticking with Genesis or GDF for your parent theme would be a wise decision 🙂
Hi @reena
Which Genesis child theme are you using? (just out of interest)
Genesis adds a class of “home” to the body, so you could use this to specify a different padding for the homepage eg:
.home .site-inner { whatever }GD has a breadcrumb for everything (including pages & posts) so it made sense to use it site-wide. The Genesis compatibility plugin adds it below the header across the whole site.
Regarding 3 column designs, the Genesis compatibility plugin doesn’t cater for GeoDirectory’s left content at this time, since the Genesis 2nd sidebar is traditionally very narrow, and typically unsuited to GD content.
I have included the ability to show the native Genesis Secondary sidebar in the next version of the plugin though for anyone who may want to show ads, category lists etc etcJust for your info – the Genesis compatibility plugin formats your content into Genesis wrappers, so the width settings in GD have no effect.
I will get the new version of the plugin available very soon.
Your theme has a fixed header (similar to absolute, but stuck in place). Elements in css following an absolutely-positioned element will ignore it and wrap to the element before it.
To compensate for this, the site-inner wrap has a top margin equal to the height of the header.The plugin hooks the breadcrumb in after the header (before the site-inner wrap) which is why it disappears from sight.
To fix this in your theme you will need to remove the top margin from your site-inner and add it to the breadcrumb instead.
It’s almost 1:30am here, but if you need further help i’ll check back in the morning 🙂
Just been playing around on your site and i see this is what is happening:
Through normal browsing, clicking links to places, or place categories, everything is ok and the breadcrumb is correct.
On detail pages (single place) the meta data links (underneath the slider) include the country in the URL path – this is what appears to be the problem. If you visit the URL through those links, the breadcrumb also shows the country.
The Enfold modification to the breadcrumb essentially just strips the unneccesary html from the trail, so it is formatted the same as the native Enfold trail – it doesn’t change the links inside….
I haven’t had chance to play with GDF yet, but it looks like you could add something like this in your child theme’s style.css
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) { .geodir_publish_button, .geodir_goback, .cancle_button { float:none; margin: 20px 5%; width: 90%; } }
