So mostly , what you can do is track the parent item and check its hierarchy using firebug.)</p> <p>these both are defined in style file of bigfeature theme , but you should write new styles in child theme.</p> <p>Being them cufon generated wont make any difference as cufon is a JS that plays with fonts AFTER they get styled.(as far as I think)</p> <p>I hope admin wouldnt mind me helping as I know he is busy final touching the next version of BF. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/navigation-bar-child-colors#post-3644 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 05:08:09 +0000 radiantdreamer 3644@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hi!</p> <p>I tried using firebug but still can't figure it out - what are the CSS tags for the colors of the navigation bar text, and the child menu color text?</p> <p>Right now, it's showing dark grey bar, with light grey text, and the menu is white with grey text. I don't know the css style tags that modifies it, or if it's even possible since it's cufont generated.</p> <p>I'm using the bfnav child theme.</p> <p><a href="http://radiantdreamer.net" rel="nofollow">http://radiantdreamer.net</a> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/no-space-between-the-navi-and-the-content#post-3460 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 11:40:59 +0000 Bb7 3460@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>thanks, It worked like magic. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/search-bar-within-navigation#post-3446 Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:11:33 +0000 admin 3446@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>1. It's done in the <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/downloads/">bfNav child theme</a>.</p> <p>2. Everything is possible if you know how to code.

Just had some questions:</p> <p>1. Is it possible to integrate the 'search' bar within the navigation?</p> <p>2. Is it possible to get a categories drop-down menu under the navigation, on the right only for a pages created using the 'portfolio' template?</p> <p>3. Why do the comments icons not appear on pages using the 'portfolio' template?</p> <p>My website is <a href="http://www.anushe.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.anushe.com</a> and I'm using the 'portfolio' template for 'Recent Weddings' and 'Blog'.</p> <p>I've seen all the above done on a website called <a href="http://www.christinemeintjes.co.za" rel="nofollow">http://www.christinemeintjes.co.za</a>, i think she's using your theme?</p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>Anushe </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3393 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 16:03:14 +0000 CarolKn 3393@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>That fixed it - thank you very much - and thanks for the great theme!<br /> My version of Chrome was really old - works fine on latest version &amp; on IE7.<br /> Carol </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3390 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:53:48 +0000 admin 3390@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>actually it seems like it's only IE7 that doesn't like the clearing div, so the code can be changed to this (line 18 in superfish.js) to fix it:</p> <p><code>$arrow = $(['&lt;span class="',c.arrowClass,'"&gt; »&lt;/span&gt;'+ (($.browser.msie &amp;&amp; $.browser.version == 7)?'':'&lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;') ].join('')),</code> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3389 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:40:32 +0000 admin 3389@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>It's the clearing div that is causing it (&lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;). This was added to superfish.js (in the library/js/superfish folder) to fix a IE6 problem. Removing it fixes the problem, but then the problem is back in IE6 though..not sure how to make it work for all browsers... </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3359 Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:54:25 +0000 CarolKn 3359@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I am having a navigation / dropdown arrow problem in IE7 / Chrome.

Using a nextgen gallery for the slider. That works without problems in IE7. When using the BF-Wide child theme than this bug occurs in IE7. The dropdown hides behind the slider. </p> <p>1.) BF-Theme 1.3.5.2 without mods - working well in IE7 - <a href="http://i25.tinypic.com/dh3eb8.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i25.tinypic.com/dh3eb8.jpg</a><br /> 2.) BF-Wide 1.0.2 without mods - dropdown behind slider bug in IE7 - <a href="http://i25.tinypic.com/5l1d6t.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i25.tinypic.com/5l1d6t.jpg</a></p> <p>The solution I tried different ways on the drop down and navboxes (and all that) without luck. At least after trail and error I came to this:</p> <p>#topheader .inside { position: relative; z-index:1 (or what ever you want); }</p> <p>Add the &gt; z-index:xxx; &lt; into the bfwide style.css - Than it shld work fine.</p> <p>I hope this helps.</p> <p>A. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3246 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 11:33:35 +0000 astroman 3246@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Btw. I have to say, that I use the slider with a nextgen gallery. Dunno if this causes the trouble. I will try the z-index. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/couple-of-issues-after-upgrade-to-wp3-and-bflatest#post-3245 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 11:24:36 +0000 WeddingsByRyan 3245@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>oh you are running version 1.3.4.2 of the theme, did not realize that, it has not been made compatible with WP3.0.</blockquote></p> <p>Thanks - sorry should have explained....I upgraded to 1.3.5.2 and hit problems. As an attempt to fix it I dropped back to 1.3.4.2 which fixed some things.</p> <p>I'll u/g to 1.3.5.2 when I get a moment and fire fight from there.</p> <p>Thanks for the CSS tip - I'll use that as a short term fix then I can work from a test server.

So the conclusion is that this is caused by modifications to the theme. My initial thought would be z-index, the dropdown menu should be z-index:99. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3243 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:05:28 +0000 astroman 3243@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>any suggestions? ;) </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/couple-of-issues-after-upgrade-to-wp3-and-bflatest#post-3241 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 09:21:11 +0000 admin 3241@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>oh you are running version 1.3.4.2 of the theme, did not realize that, it has not been made compatible with WP3.0.

Some of the support you've given would be worth that money and I can imagine big corporations lapping it up (there's a distinct lack of WP themes with pro level support i.e. monitored SLA style with escalation, guarantees and penalties).</p> <p>Since I'm not a coder (I gave that up a few years ago) I'd happily consider a paid for support model. Especially since my options now are<br /> 1. spend a lot of time looking for the issue wherever it lurks - by definition it will take me longer to find it than an experienced coder whose familiar with the code<br /> 2. "heal" the site so that it works with the code as it is now. This could take a long time and would mean that I would never want to upgrade again.<br /> 3. Go get another website. Again a ton of work plus some money. With no guarantee that I wouldn't hit the same issues.</p> <p>So joking apart if you want to charge for support (and accept all that that would imply) then I'll be happy to talk.</p> <p>But back when I managed test projects the rule was simple. If the system worked, and you changed "x" piece of code and the system stopped working then it was down to the developer of "x" to make sure it wasn't their code. Because really and truly it almost always was.</p> <p>--------<br /> As an aside "somebody" needs to fix the ridiculous plugin conflict thing. I'm only guessing but if the WP core developers issued a proper set of standards and nothing was allowed in the codex that didn't comply then these conflicts would be over tomorrow. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/couple-of-issues-after-upgrade-to-wp3-and-bflatest#post-3221 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:47:01 +0000 admin 3221@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>there's a javascript error from you thickbox plugin that can be the cause, but if you deactivated all plugins and no change, but I suggest you try again, and clear the browser cache. </p> <p>It's a javascript error that is causing this, and don't be so quick to blame it on the theme, plugins must be made compatible with new wordpress versions too. I have tested 1.3.5.2 with wordpress 3.0 and it works fine for me. </p> <p>At least 50% of the support I have been doing the last year is caused by plugins, and it sucks to waste my time on such matters! I should take $100 for every support inquiry. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3209 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:44:00 +0000 astroman 3209@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>The submenu of the dropdown menu point "Leistungen" is behind the image slider/fader in IE7 - FF works pretty well. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3207 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:30:52 +0000 admin 3207@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>see no problem... </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/couple-of-issues-after-upgrade-to-wp3-and-bflatest#post-3201 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:18:06 +0000 WeddingsByRyan 3201@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>OK - I just deactivated every single plugin.</p> <p>Didn't fix it.

It worked before the upgrade. Yes I can spend a long time trying each of the plugins (though mostly I have the ones you advise) but that's risky on a live site. And what do I do then?</p> <p>2. Um great. I bought your skin because it had image resizing so I could migrate an existing site to it. All of a sudden it's stopped working properly (I can't stress enough that it worked, I applied your upgrade and it stopped working) and now I need to do some random testing of other people's code OR spend literally days resizing pictures OR just junk the skin and get something new.</p> <p>I've been a very big fan of this theme and the support you've given in the past but when you change code and it costs me days of work I go a little cold on it.</p> <p>Any suggestions where I can start looking? I have a live site that I use to run my business. And it looks like crap because your code stopped working. Any ideas which plugins you might suddenly have started conflicting with? </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/broken-navigation-in-ie7#post-3198 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 12:13:43 +0000 astroman 3198@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I sharing the same problem, can´t get the dropdown menu over the slider.

This is javascript conflict, most likely with a plugin. deactivate them to test.</p> <p>2. it's the image resizing script not working, again a javascript conflict. I do not recomend to insert too large images into the post though, it's much better to resize them in f.ex. photoshop before inserted, ore use the wordpress media sizes. </p>
