That happens sometimes, but not as much as before. The spam filter seems to be learning.</p> <p>Anyway, over to answering the question...</p> <p>if I understand this correctly, you want to remove the side paddings in the header? then adding this to the bottom of bfnav style.css would fix that:</p> <p><code>#headerstuff { padding: 0; }<br /> ul.navigation.navbar { margin-left: 50px; width: auto; border: 0; }</code></p> <p>btw, I see that you have some javascript errors, stopping any scripts from working. It seems to be caused by the "slick social share buttons" plugin. Deactivate it and scripts will probably work again (there is also a facebook error, but I think it's caused by the first error). </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/stretch-navigation-bar-to-full-width-of-page#post-8328 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:29:02 +0000 vfxdude 8328@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/10/faq/#xtranavs">here's some extra information how to display navigations</a>. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/stretch-navigation-bar-to-full-width-of-page#post-8323 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:55:30 +0000 jmetoren 8323@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I found it! </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/stretch-navigation-bar-to-full-width-of-page#post-8320 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:21:06 +0000 jmetoren 8320@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>thanks, do you know the location of the 'navbar' code? </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/stretch-navigation-bar-to-full-width-of-page#post-8314 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:14:07 +0000 vfxdude 8314@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>use the cwidth class. check the mentioned child themes for an example, they got a customHeader function doing this. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/centering-the-header-image-with-navigation#post-8307 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:04:38 +0000 Bb7 8307@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hello,<br /> I'm using BFNav child theme and It's really working great, but I'm trying to resize the main nav with the header image to fit the mini nav that comes with BFNav</p> <p>you can see it here <a href="http://www.keygraphy.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.keygraphy.com</a></p> <p>I just wanted to cancel the white space on the left if it's possible, thanks. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/stretch-navigation-bar-to-full-width-of-page#post-8304 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:05:24 +0000 jmetoren 8304@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Thanks!

I depends if we are talking about the same thing though. This is the parent node for all categories. When doing the modification you have to upload the file, and re add the menu item in the theme settings (navigation tab) that is now called whatever you renamed it to (it's under the Categories title for the "Items that can be added to the navigation"). </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/rename-categories-in-navigation-bar#post-8098 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 07:07:26 +0000 artichoked 8098@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>i'm certain i'm doing something wrong, but here's what i have and it doesn't seem to be working:<br /> <code>echo '&lt;li id="cats_'.__('Blog','BigFeature').'" class="ui-state-default"&gt;'.__('Blog','BigFeature').'';</code> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/rename-categories-in-navigation-bar#post-8086 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:36:19 +0000 vfxdude 8086@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I'm considering adding a labels field to the theme settings navigation system, just like the wp menu admin got, but for now you got to change some code to rename the categories top menu item. </p> <p>1.

The function add_stylesheets in functions.php should take care of this. If you have an old version of a child theme, before I added this function, then you can copy this code into functions.php of your child theme:</p> <p><code>add_action( 'bf_head', 'add_stylesheets', 1 );<br /> function add_stylesheets() {<br /> if (function_exists('bf_childtheme_css')) {<br /> remove_action( 'bf_head', 'bf_stylesheets');<br /> bf_childtheme_css();<br /> } else { ?&gt;<br /> &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="&lt;?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?&gt;/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /&gt;<br /> &lt;?php }<br /> }</code></p> <p>And remove the importing in style.css. Read this <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/tips-and-tricks#post-7807">Child themes do's and dont's tip</a>. You can also just copy the code in the bfBlank functions.php, since this child theme only contains the stylesheet import. </p> <p>It's much faster to import the stylesheets like that, and it will also use the theme functionality automatically. The reason the optionstyles.css is now written to the child theme folder is that every child theme can have it's own theme setting (the "Save the theme settings for this child theme separately" setting). This way it's possible to setup many child themes and they each can have different widths, navigation and colors. Switching between them will be change the design totally, and there's no need to change anything after switching.</p> <p>Check the <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/downloads/">bfNav child theme</a> how to add a footer navigation (in functions.php, check the customFooter function and the add_action hook call in the top). </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/problem-with-upgrade-to-1413#post-7946 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 02:07:41 +0000 myrto 7946@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>OK so now the question is:<br /> How can I add some text (navigation links) i.e.</p> <p>Home | About | Lorem | Ipsum</p> <p>at the bottom of my page just before the footer text (within the container).<br /> on the previous version I've made a copy of the footer.php into my child theme folder and I've added a<br /> div tag with my links but now that the code has changed to hooks I don't know how to do this..</p> <p>Any help greatly appreciated! </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/problem-with-upgrade-to-1413#post-7945 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:27:26 +0000 myrto 7945@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Feel like I'm talking to my self... but I hope this might help someone else as well. The css problem is now solved.<br /> I was using @import in my style.css file<br /> so I've added the optionstyles.css and it is now working.</p> <p>i.e.<br /> @import "../bigfeature/style.css";<br /> @import"optionstyles.css"; </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/problem-with-upgrade-to-1413#post-7943 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 00:41:36 +0000 myrto 7943@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>OK...need to add here that in my child theme I have a copy of the header and footer files with a few changes. I've noticed that the new version is using different format. (hooks) Although I've copied the new header and footer it can't read the optionstyles css file...<br /> I hope this helps . </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/problem-with-upgrade-to-1413#post-7942 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:46:46 +0000 myrto 7942@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I have upgraded to the new version. And although I saved my setting and re - imported them the layout and the colours were not restored. I've also noticed that in my child theme folder there is an optionstyles.css file created.<br /> I had to restore back the the previous version cause everything changed...<br /> Anyone else had this problem?

When I reduce the height to 400 it cuts off the bottom of the photo.

And Firebug is the tool to use to find what to change, but if you don't have any knowledge of css it might be a bit harder. Anyway the style to add (at the bottom of style.css (preferably in a <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/10/faq/#childtheme">child theme</a>)):</p> <p><code>#header { margin-bottom: 20px; }<br /> ul.navigation.navbarsep { margin: 0; }<br /> .bfslider p { margin-bottom: 0; }</code> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/space-below-slider-and-navigation#post-7845 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:47:53 +0000 thestylecrusader 7845@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is there any way to reduce the amount of space between the slider, navigation and first post on my blog?

Just add the code to functions.php (preferably in a <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/10/faq/#childtheme">child theme</a>), and then add css in style.css. This is done in the <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/downloads/">bfArea child theme</a>, so you can look at the styles there for examples.</p> <p>Another way is to -margin the one added to the header. Add a style like this (adjust the number to get it to the right location):<br /> <code>ul.navigation.navsmall { margin-bottom: -50px; }</code> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/external-links-in-navigation#post-7834 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 18:00:45 +0000 thestylecrusader 7834@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Sorry, I found this a bit confusing. I tried the to make the changes using the last description you gave as it seemed the simplest, however, I wasn't able to make it work. When I insert the BF Page widget I can only place it in the header or the top - not in the navigation. </p> <p>Any advice?</p> <p>Thanks again. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/drop-down-navigation-remove-fading#post-7774 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:50:36 +0000 illusio 7774@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I went with editing superfish.js with this change below and the fading is gone.
