A CSS Question in a Wordpress Site

OK so I'm using Wordpress and displaying a list of posts in a category page. Using this method it's possible to asign a class to the post that is based on the category so in this case it's <div class="post-cat-fifteen. If you don't use that option it defualts to <div class="post"> and obviously, those <div>s contain the individual posts and som other stuff.
In this page: http://www.pictopoetry.co.uk/category/poem/ The posts are in a div with the default class but in the next page, it uses the added class of .post-cat-fifteen. And this is where I have my problem. http://www.pictopoetry.co.uk/category/poem02/
Please take a look towards the bottom of the page and find the cup-cake. The Wine glass post above it doesn't clear like the other page or posts and a piece of the post shoots up the page. Where it says, "Posted in..."
I can fix it easy enough by adding clear:both to this rule the <p class="metadata"> element that contains that information but a) I am not sure if this is the best thing to do and b) I can't work out why this is happening. In one page, all is well and in the other all is not well but they seem pretty much the same!
Thanks and sorry for the long-winded post.
Regards
Martin

OK so I'll ask another way....
Can anyone tell me why that piece of text clears the float on this page

But not this:

Firefox not displaying changes made to Wordpress site

I have been making changes to my style.css files for my wordpress sites. It appears my changes are visible on other computers. However on my MAC OS X the changes do not appear to show on Firefox. I can see the changes fine on Safari (on my MAC) I have cleared cache, I have reset Firefox, I have cleared DNS on my MAC and really have no idea where to go from here.
My preference to use Firefox as my working browser is to use Firebug.
Please advise what are my options...
I really look forward to some solution to this.

CSS Menu in Wordpress site

I am attempting to update a menu in a Wordpress site using CSS. I would like to have a repeating background image for each list item that is currently active and on hover, as I have done below. The problem is the image, although 50px high, only shows as the font size (14x) and only shows for the length of the characters. I need to figure out how to force the image to display full height and give some left and right padding.
#menu {
height: 50px;
width: 960px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 20px;
background-image: url(menu_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-top: 12px;
#menu ul {
display: inline;
height: 50px;
#menu li {
display: inline;
#menu a {
color: #1f2320;
font-size: 14px;
margin-left: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
#menu a:link {
#menu a:hover {
color: #679800;
text-decoration: none;
#menu li a:hover {
color: #679800;
text-decoration: none;
background-image: url(menu_over.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;

Hi Nancy; I fixed the borders issue, but cannot seem to get over the fact that everytime I add the full height (50px) for the line height, all that happens is the links are pushed down several pixels. There must be something in the Wordpress theme CSS that's making this happen. I rarely build CSS menus from scratch...
This works fine, but the borders, backgrounds, etc. only extend the height of the font:
#menu {
height: 50px;
width: 960px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 20px;
background-image: url(menu_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-top: 12px;
#menu ul {
display: inline;
margin-left: 14px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-color: #FFC315;
line-height: normal;
#menu li {
display: inline;
line-height: 100%;
#menu li a {
height: 50px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-right-style: solid;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
border-right-color: #ffc315;
color: #262927;
padding-right: 9px;
padding-left: 9px;
#menu a:link {
#menu a:hover {
color: #679800;
#menu li a:hover {
color: #679800;
The full CSS file looks like this, and contains some strange things I suppose are WP-oriented:

A question regarding using a Dreamweaver site to manage a WordPress site?

Using Mac OS X I have installed and configured MAMP to edit a WordPress site.
I have setup a DW CC site to help with this editing, and all files are behaving as expected.
I would now like to take this to the next level.
As I develop the site plan for the future, I am unsure of the local folder structure I need to use if I want to use the capability of the SQL database to manage logins and landing pages.
In other words, do I put the root folders for other html sites in the same root directory level as the WordPress folder?
Can I then (with some individual tweaking of php files and the database(s), use this organization method to author a number of standalone sites with unique logins?
I hope this question is not too vague.
Thanks

Sounds to me you want to use the multi-site option in Wordpress. That way you can setup a network of (related or unrelated) sites in Wordpress, and assign different logins, themes, and so on, to each site as well.
Study the official documentation before you begin:
Create A Network « WordPress Codex
In this case you should stay away from any manual mysql tinkering - no need for that with multisites in Wordpress. Of course, you can still use DW to edit the theme files, if you so wish.
For more multisite user control, check out plugins like:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/7-plugins-for-easier-wordpress-multisite-user-management/
If you need ultimate control over user management, payment options, and so on, you may want to install S2 User Management (but it is a complex one to learn).

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

Have a CSS question

I have a picture i am trying to put inside a div that has a class already which makes pictures have a frame around them when i insert them into it, which is fine for the main image but i am trying to add an extra image in there and i dont want that frame to be there.
I will attach a picture and a link to the site i am talking about.
If anyone can help me with this CSS question or how i can go about getting rid of the frame around the step 1, step 2 and step 3.

Thanks!

Take the frame class out the div and apply it to select images like this:
<div>
<img class="frame" src="step1.jpg">
<img src="picture1.jpg">
</div>
<div>
<img class="frame" src="step2.jpg">
<img src="picture2.jpg">
</div>

Banner on wordpress site doesn't show in safari

On my Wordpress site I have added a banner from an external link to be displayed on my frontpage. After saving it doesn't show the banner in Safari (but it does show it in Chrome and someone externally tested and said it showed in Explorer; so the html code must be right). The weird thing is it does show the image of the banner in the Snippet Editor. Anyone has an idea what causes this or how to fix this, I want all Safari users out there to be able to see and click on the banner as well!

Some browsers are far more forgiving of errors than Safari, and not everything works the same way in different browsers.
If the image is visible when you use Safari - Develop menu - Disable Styles, then it's presumably a CSS problem that only shows in Safari.
Do test with all Safari extensions switched off, since they can have unexpected results.

Importing a WordPress site to BC

Hi
This might seem like a stupid question but before I heading towards a nightmare of copy/paste just wanted to know if there is a way to migrate or import a full WordPress website into BC. I am only interested in the pages and content not the actual design.
Cheers
Micha

Unfortunately you cannot import Wordpress Site into Business catalyst, due to platform. Wordpress uses PHP and Business Catalyst works on .net Platfom. However you can try to import your blogs from Wordpress.
Export the posts from the TypePad or WordPress blog.
Do one of the following:
For an existing blog, select Modules > Blogs, and then click on a blog name.
For a new blog, select Modules > Blogs, and then click Add Blog.
Click Import Posts and select TypePad or WordPress as the blog engine type.
Click Browse and select the file you exported.
Click Next.
Hope this helps.

Edge animation in Wordpress site slow to load.

Hi clever Edge people.
I have an (simple) Edge animation I am putting into a Wordpress site but it takes forever to load when looking at the site on a browser - trying it on ipad, Google chrome, firefox, and safari. The .oam file is 1.9mb. Is that big?
Here is the link (site in development so kinda messy!):
http://everywhereyougo.co.nz/2012/11/shakespear-regional-park-2/
How does it load for you? Any clues about why it is slow?
Thanks!
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
first of all thanks for using EdgeSuite for wordpress. Did you use shortcodes? Would it be ok to use your site as a reference for edge suite, I would list it on edgedocks.com if you would agree?
Now to your question: By looking at the network traffic you can tell that your homepage is more then 3.1MB big, thats quiet a lot. Use google pagespeed extension for chrome, yslow for firefox, the network tab in firebug or just http://www.webpagetest.org to get an idea of what's going on.
For example, the three icons FB, twitter, vimeo are each 500KB big, so these three icons are already have the size of your page. That is one thing to fix, but probably not the only reason for your composition to load slowly. You are using a lot of small assets, it just takes some time to load these. Does the composition load right away locally? If you want to further reduce loading time you could use spritesheets. You can combine small images within a bigger image and clip the focus when using the image as a backgound for a div. And try to reduce Photo1 2 3, each 150KB big.
What about adding a preloader for the animation, the then user at least knows that there is more to come.
Just suggestions.

Email no longer working for my WordPress site

Not sure when this happened, but my wordpress site will no longer send emails. The only time I get an error back of any help is when i try the password recovery utility. It displays
The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function...
Which is odd because this used to work just fine when I first set this all up 3 months ago. Do the shared sites have email disabled now? How can I get this working again? I tried looking through wordpress for email configuration and testing,
but didn't find anything there.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Chris

Oh wow, that's odd. It worked just fine when I initially setup the site. Never heard of having to install a plugin to get SMTP working for a wordpress site. I've always understood that you'd simply have to configure PHP to let it communicate
with the SMTP server, which naturally happened when I installed the WordPress site from your plugins. Which doesn't mean to say that it's impossible for it to be different than what I imagined. But really, I'd be surprised if this is "standard
wordpress practice".
As with all wordpress plugins, there's a worry about installing a malicious one in your site. Is there any that you all could suggest to "re-bridge" the gap in this functionality?
Also if this is the default behavior for the "website preview" which has been provided by running on shared instances, does this mean that if we were to decide to upgrade the site to be on our own instance, that we'd have to perform the same tasks to get
email working?

This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between models when on the internet I.e. Facebook when after your comment and you cannot hit "enter" on an iPad for examp. And speed is slow to connect. What is = to post?

This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between CRT, laptop, tablet etc. such as an iPad Mini and using the Facebook site fir example when going to post a comment and you do not have a enter button on the IPad and the speed is slow how do you get your comments to post if we do not have a enter button?
<Email Edited By Host>

I don't have facebook so I cannot answer but for your personal security, I have asked the hosts to remove your e-mail address. It is very unwise to publish this.

2 CSS Questions on my layout

Hi everyone, I have two CSS questions regarding my layout.
First off, it is located at:
http://robles.clunet.edu/~ssmi/tsr9/tsr9template.html
The CSS is embeded in the file (it will linked from a
different file once I am done with this design, but beside the
point)
My first question is about how I can keep the right top image
from being bumped down to the next line when the window is resized.
I want it to squeeze into some, but then at a point have the scroll
bars kick in.
My other question is how I could make the title image "The
Scott Report" centered between the two left and right images up
top.
Could anyone help out?
Thanks a lot!

I can log in to my wordpress site or rather I can get into the back end of my site but I can no longer see the edit button on Firefox

I use firefox 24 and it was working fine up until last weekend then I could no longer see the edit button on my wordpress site.
The thing is that I can get into my site via the site-wp-admin url as cookies allow me to do so but once I click on visit site then I cannot do anything because there are no edit buttons and not a log in button either so I do not even have the option of trying and failing or succeeding.
It is quite puzzling as it happened just recently.
I now have to use chrome to do all my editing since there is no problems on that browser

Let me start with the general advise...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

How do I edit a WordPress site in Dreamweaver?

I found a pretty good article on how to install WordPress to a localhost and run a site made locally on a test server through Dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt1.html), but it leaves a lot unanswered. Like...
1. Okay, now I've built a WordPress site locally, how do I upload it to my webserver?
(When I upload it to my ftp, it's broken. I suspect that this is because the scripting is set to work on my localhost MySQL & phpMyAdmin and not my webserver's)
2. If I already have a WordPress site up on my webserver, can I download it to my localhost server so I can edit in Dreamweaver and my local machine, and then upload it later to my webserver?
Thank you everyone! Your help is highly appreciated!

i am only new at dreamweaver...however, i have spent quite some time with Wordpress and Joomla website building.
Plese note... In an effort to explain my thoughts (which if left in their original state...only make sense to me really) i use the term "articles" below very loosely as Wordpress is not just a blogg platform anymore.
The two platforms serve different purposes. Wordpress is a publishing platform...Dreamweaver is a design program. Dreamweaver on its own, would be a very slow and cumbersome way of publishing articles on a Wordpress site. Dreamweaver on its own, is oriented towards creating the entire Wordpress CMS itself...not the "dynamic content" that goes on the Wordpress Site (dynamic meaning published information that is regularly being added/edited/deleted) .
What you really should be asking is, "how can i edit/develop Wordpress themes in Dreamweaver?" Now that, Dreamweaver can do.
Just slightly off topic, have you thought about building your websites using Adobe Muse instead. Its much faster and a lot simpler to use than dreamweaver and a great drag and drop design interface! Almost no coding required. You wold not be using Wordpress of course, and the content isnt dynamic, but Muse is soooo easy to build sites with!
Could i make a suggestion that i myself have undertaken...Purchase a monthly Adobe Creative Cloud plan(to get access to a heap of Adobe CC programs) + $39US/month Lynda.com tutorial package.
Even if you just use the lynda training for a single month only (you only pay by the month as you go)...you will learn an enormous amount about the Dreamweaver, Muse, Wordpress...and a huge number of other programs.
Best money i have spent in Info Tech in a long time
kind regards
