Thanks. I’ll give those additional snippets a try tomorrow
Nice job… works great! You da man… as usual
Maybe an update could include an option to have the chosen background image stay fixed on screen or scroll with pages?Glad it helped
Sure is! Add the following to your stylesheet:
div#enhanced-categories ul li {
display:inline-block;
width:49%;
vertical-align:top;
}display:inline-block sets the li items up side-by-side as long as width is less than 50%. vertical-align:top ensures that each li item stays aligned at the top when the other is expanded (try without the vertical-align to see the difference).
To make your css learning curve a lot easier, install the Firebug for Firefox addon. You can play around with various settings on any web page (even if it’s not yours) until you get the look you want, then simply copy the style rules to your stylesheet and upload. http://getfirebug.com/
Hope this helps!
EDIT: if you add a 3rd main category, you’ll need to set width to 33% or less to accommodate it on the same line, or leave it at 49% if you want them in 2 columns (I’m guessing that’s how it’ll display).
Joining a site running Buddypress can be as simple or as convoluted as you want to make it for potential members. There are quite a few plugins that can be implemented for captchas; authentification via other networks like Facebook, Google, etc; profile synchronization with other networks; custom login pages and much more. An example of the basic BP account creation process can be found on one of my sites here: http://buddylite.com/register/
The only thing I’ve added to the default registration process on BuddyLite is a simple math captcha called Buddypress Humanity: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-humanity/
You can see a working example of one front-end post solution called TDO-Mini-Forms on the same site here: http://buddylite.com/buddybuilder-style-submission/ and the end results here: http://buddylite.com/category/custom-buddybuilder-styles/
You’ll need to login as a test user to see the form though… user = buzzer / pass = hellobirdieOn another site I’m currently working on, you can see an example of another front-end post form called Quick Post Widget: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-post-widget/
See it here: http://kwitterz.com/share-your-thoughts-with-all-kwitterz/
Again, you’ll need to login… user = pjohn / pass = gollysargeHope this helps to get you started!
Just checked too. Like @mercime said, adding the !important param to css style rules sometimes helps when you just can’t tighten up the specificity any more.
If you ever run into a jam where the !important thing just doesn’t cut it, try “weighting” the specificity of the element you’re trying to style. Here’s a simple set of guidelines to help get you started: http://htmldog.com/guides/cssadvanced/specificity/

Sorry, forgot about the sidebar issue
The easiest way to duplicate the layout of your site pages in permalink.php is to copy page.php and replace the contents in that file with the contents from permalink.php, keeping the container structure and sidebar calls from page.php intact, then rename that new file permalink.php to overwrite the old one. Keep a backup of your original permalink.php in case stuff gets screwed up
You’re welcome!
Genius… no. Experimenter… yes.You can create a grid effect for lists by applying a display property to each list item and adjusting width and margins to suit the available space. For a 3-column members directory, try this:
ul#members-list li {
display:inline-block;
width:30%;
margin:6px;
}After that, it’s a matter of playing with the CSS for the various elements contained within each list item to get it to look just right. Have fun!
Have you seen this new plugin? Looks perfect
