Hi Steve,

I’m frustrated. Despite what seems like a ton of help, I can’t find how to do the following: You can find the site at supholidays d com / sup-schools-directory/ (sorry, but I don’t want this in google (just connect the space)

1) How do we make the title of the Organization a bigger font? There is no way to do this.

2) How can we take out extra spaces for various things we don’t want included (for example, placing the web site link right underneath the name of the organization.

3) We don’t want to add Logo, but it says “No Logo Available” on the screen

4) We have added .png files for the two entries –they show up upon EDIT, BUT do not show up on the screen.

It’s really not as flexible in construction as you claim, or am I missing something. I’m not a programmer by nature, but good enough to do this type of work.

Is there something in the CSS Template file that I need to do?

Sorry I’m being difficult — just spent a lot of time and it’s not doing what I want. I use the themes from http://www.themefuse.com

@ Rob

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble, but I can help…

re: How do we make the title of the Organization a bigger font?
There is no option to do this. However, you can use CSS to change the font size any size you wish. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area or to the end of its styles.css file, tweak the size to suit:

#cn-cmap span.org.fn {
    font-size: 1.5em;
}

re: How can we take out extra spaces for various things we don’t want included (for example, placing the web site link right underneath the name of the organization. Unfortunately the poor spacing is being caused by the theme. Please see this FAQ. Specifically the solution presented in the yellow-tinted box. That nearly always fixes the issue for the fwe that encounter it.

re: We don’t want to add Logo, but it says “No Logo Available” on the screen.
You can turn the logo off by using the image shortcode option like so:
[connections image='none']`

re: We have added .png files for the two entries –they show up upon EDIT, BUT do not show up on the screen.
Sorry, but I do not follow. Are you uploading a logo or an image?

re: Is there something in the CSS Template file that I need to do?
The bit of CSS I gave you, you could follow this QuickTip instead of adding it to the theme. Either way will work. Chose the method you’re most comfortable with doing.

I hope that helps!

Sent you a question,Steve, that I marked private –thinking you’d see it.
Did you? If not, I’ll write again.

Problem is with the logo image and how to get it to cover the complete lighter gray background. I’m not able to figure this out.

re: Added the CSS file as you suggested, but it didn’t seem to work
Try this instead:

#cn-cmap span.fn {
    font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

re: Now, here’s the big issue
This is being caused by a theme CSS statement which is overriding the template. The solution is to use more targeted CSS in order to override the theme:

#cn-cmap span.cn-image img {
    height: auto !important;
    width: auto !important;
}

re: light gray areas that stick out from behind the background on all sides and it doesn’t look great.
That is part of the template style. You can remove the border like so:

#cn-cmap span.cn-image-style {
    background: none !important;
    border: none !important;
}

Since you now have quite a bit of custom CSS, I really suggest using the method outlined in this QuickTip to apply it.

re: although for SEO purposes, I assume it’s better to show all of them. Is there a way to do so?
The view all link should suffice.

Hope that helps!

Yep, saw it, looks like I was replying when you sent the follow-up post. I tend to be quick with my reply … but I can not always reply immediately, usually it is no more than 24 hours or so, just so you know.

[Rob Steir]

Thank you Steve. I made the changes to the CSS file, but will eventually make a new Template CSS file as you suggest.

Figuring out how to reduce size of the logo and integrate the graphics so they look great. I’ll figure that out.

Totally respect the quick time reply. By the way, the system used by Themefuse just seems easier for me to view stuff —as it seems the software bug/debug system you use is really not too easy on me to find answers without reaching out to you –and visa versa. I can ask them what they use? just a thought.

It seems to me you spend so much time answering the same questions said in similar ways, but hard to find by me. I know theirs is really good.

@ Rob

I took a look at themefuse seems they’re doing the same as me. The difference is between the structure. They have all there doc/faqs/forum on a single “page” where as I have it broken apart by product. I do have a side project going on that moves to a somewhat similar approach here, but it is far from ready. The goal will to move all the docs/faqs/forum to the knowledge base to keep the sales site and it separate to allow better maintenance of both and allow me to better organize each for the users.

Hi Steve,

Making much progress with getting the “look” right.

Finally got around to trying to not have the posts show up initially. Followed your request to look at the following two posts:

Please look at the URL provided in the “your info area” and you’ll see that the selection window is blank — and I’d like to have it say something like “Please Select Your Location” — and also I’d not like to have the “search” area show up right below it as it does, but to the right side of it –as it does when I didn’t eliminate the listings from showing up.

Please let me know how to do this. Thank you.

re: you’ll see that the selection window is blank
The issue is likely being caused by the theme or another plugin interfering with the wp_print_footer_scripts action hook in WordPress.

Edit the Snippet I gave you. Look for wp_print_footer_scripts and change it to wp_footer

re: I’d not like to have the “search” area show up right below it as it does, but to the right side of it
This CSS will do the trick:

span.cn-search {
    float: right;
}
form.cn-form br {
    display: none; // This could break the display doing a search...
}

Hope that helps!
