Typekit and WordPress

Hi, I followed this tutorial
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/786466-using-typekit-with-a-self-hosted-w ordpress-site
to implement Typekit in my WordPress theme.
At a certain point, the tutorial say: "Add selectors in your kit editor".
I didn't use this feature; I used font in my css file (for example h1{font-family: "acuta", serif;})
In this case, I need anyway to add both scripts?
Thank's in advance for help,

Hi gendif,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. If you prefer to add the Typekit font-family names directly in your CSS, you do not need to specify any selectors in the kit. You only need to use one of the options, not both.
There is more information in this help page:
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/6859
> In this case, I need anyway to add both scripts?
You will still need to add the JavaScript embed code to your WordPress site, so that the font files are available to your webpage.
I hope that this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, here or at [email protected] Best,

How do I get sync to work again with Typekit and Creative Cloud?

I have been using my CC apps with Typekit and it was syncing fine. Now for that last few days I am getting a sync error message. More info is useless—blames lack of an internet connection which is not accurate. I've turned sync off and on, remove and readied the fonts from type kit. Closed out and logged back in to CC app. Nothing is working. I have two DSL lines both of which are working and have tried it connected to each in turn. Still cannot sync.
I am now online with Adobe phone support after a 2-hr wait for the call back. Just told my story again. On hold. Now they tell me Adobe can't do anything other than read the same troubleshooting docs that Typekit has on their site (which I've already done). This alliance only works if Adobe and Typekit work together. I've already emailed twice and tweeted to Typekit and gotten ZERO response. I was pretty emphatic with the guy in Adobe tech support and he said he would escalate it to the India "Dream Team." Hopefully they will be more dream than nightmare.

Hello,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Typekit Support did not recieve your email, and didn't realize you were waiting for a reply. I do apologize for that.
Would you please send your recent log files to [email protected] so that we can take a look? I've included the instructions below. It sounds like there may be a problem with your computer reaching the Creative Cloud servers, and the logs will have more information.
Please let me know when you have sent that email, so that we can watch for it. Thank you,

CS5.5 and WordPress Multisite

So, I upgraded from my CS4 to CS5.5 last week. I've extremely excited about the Live View / Inspector aspect of editing my php and WordPress projects. I'm running this on a suped up win 7 box. I deleted/uninstalled my old xampp setup and downloaded a new one. I'm going to have a Solr search engine for a WordPress Multisite blog/directory when I'm all done. So, I spent the time to also set up tomcat and get an instance of Solr running on my local machine. (not that this is important, but shows I'm not a complete beginner).
I've followed the tutorials on setting up WordPress to be able to do the testing server, live view and editing. Everything works fine on a new single blog install (I started a brand new one just to check and to do the Lynda.com tutorials, which are working just fine.) But, when I go to the Multisite Sub-Blog and set up the discovery of the related links DW gives me a whopping 4 files that are linked. I can follow the links on the live view pages, but the dynamic linking files are not showing up in the top toolbar? I can't jump over to the header.php file and then back to the index.php file, because they are not finding all of the linking php files.
As, I mentioned, it's a multisite only problem, becuase it's working on a single blog install just fine. I thought maybe it was because of the addressing, the testing folder was different from the root website. So, I edited the vhosts.conf file and hosts file to add a specific testing domain name and there was no change except that I don't get the error anymore when I set up the testing server that the site url of "/" doesn't match the one I had that was "/mydirectory/".
This was an older site that was set up in Dreamweaver that I just kept changing all of the local testing environment stuff, but the link to the remote server was still active. So, I thought that might be causing the trouble because it was going out to that server to try to follow some of the dynamically linked pages. So, I completely deleted everything and started over with a fresh Site with just the Testing server set up, fresh wordpress, fresh evreything. I am able to discover the related links in the file right up to when I turn on multisite in a sub-directory install and the whole discovery of related links wigs out.
If you look at the http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network I checked the dynamic links at each step. It worked turning on Multisite and going to network setup, but as soon as I entered the code in the wp-config.php file for defining a multisite and added the .htaccess file then the whole thing breaks.
I'm sure it has to do with how the path is loaded somehow dynamically, but as many people that there are running this combo, of Dreamweaver 5.5 and trying to work on Wordpress, and maybe a Multisite install since it's so much easier in 3.0+ I was surprised that there was nothing on the web about this issue.
Thanks for any help upfront.

The WordPress Multisite does use mod rewrite in .htaccess. The contents of that are found in the link I provided on setting up a WordPress Multisite install found at WordPress.org. As each of the sub-blogs require the use of elements and data from the main site and structure to draw the pages I do not think that setting up each sub-blog as it’s own site definition would work. It would still have issues finding the relating files. I guess, if someone figured out how to use Dreamweaver on a blog hosted at wordpress.com to edit themes and such that would probably flow to solving this issue as well.
Since this is on a Development XAMPP server on my own machine, if I put the .htaccess code in my httpd.conf file instead would that make a difference? Or is it the mod rewrite that is the issue no matter where it resides?
I basically decided to set up each sub-blog as a completely separate “site” for now since all I’m sync’ing is the theme folders anyways at that point and all I was truly after was the Live View / Inspector for making the layout changes. When I did that though and activated all the plugins that I’m using I noticed some issues with file discovery as well. I saw in one of the tutorials that there was a way to link a style.css file manually for “design” prior to uploading the site. Is there anything inside of Dreamweaver that would allow us to manually add the necessary php file for the finder. I’m pretty sure that it’s getting stuck at the line that is saying (dirname(__FILE__) . “wp-load.php” or something like that (off the top of my head). Once that relative file would be found my guess is that it would discover all the other ones? Or there is an issue with the ABSPATH variable being set early on in the WordPress installation.
At this point I’ve tried a dozen different ways to get this to work and it’s obviously broken. Since it’s so prevalent (I think a lot of the posts I read had this also as a multisite drupal/joomla issue as well) that it would be something worth figuring out how to provide a work around.

Copying code from Typekit and pasting in Muse.

Can someone please, please tell me how to paste Java Script code into Muse that I have copied from TypeKit? I have never dealt with code and don't know a thing about it. The tutorials I've watched don't seem to give any detail except to say "Simply copy the code from TypeKit and easily paste it in your Muse website code place somewhere close to but under <head>". I don't get it.
Plus I am lost on the "Muse-TypeKit- What TypeKit shows and what I can use, thing". I bought the whole Cloud-Muse-BusinessCatalist-a-Rama because I thought it would be nice to have everything I needed right there. With great quantities of fonts included. Now I'm not sure if "going live" allows me to use more web-fonts than I can now (just the ones that show up in "design" mode). TypeKit has some faces that I use all the time, but I can't access them.
Maybe if I could just paste that Java Script....
Also The new version of Muse won't download on my Mac. An error shows up when it's almost finished.
Have a great weekend everybody!

Typekit and Muse. Specifying alternative fonts

My client wants her website built using a typewriter style font. Obviously the safest option would be to use Courier but it's a little faint on the page. Using Typekit Courier Prime or another alternative will look better.
However in the past I have experienced issues with Typekit and Internet Explorer, I know when it comes to webdesign traditionally speaking you can specify a default list for fonts. (e.g. p{font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif} )
What I want is to be able to specify for the browser to use Courier Prime first, then Courier, . . . instead of Arial.
Can you do this in Muse?

Typekit and Font Management : Still a bit confused

I am still a little confused as to how the new Creative Cloud TypeKit works and how it will or will not effect our workflow.
We currently use Extensis Universal Type Server (UTS). We have a team membership license for Creative Cloud. Does TypeKit interject itself before fonts are loaded from UTS?
If fonts are downloaded to the desktop from TypeKit do I need to copy these into UTS? Should my users mix and match fonts acquired with UTS and TypeKit or maintain the status with UTS? Can you disable TypeKit if this is the case? How can we resolve conflicts with fonts if UTS and TypeKit are running?
Do we need to purchase fonts now that with TypeKit the claim is all fonts from Adobe are free with CC membership? How does this interact with UTS?
Does Adobe still sell fonts if TypeKit being part of the CC subscription implies the complete catalog is free?
How are font licensing issues handled with TypeKit? In the past, font licensing was a big concern in publishing and still very confusing as to use and purchasing.
I have been trying to get a firm understanding of the use and rights of fonts throughout my career and with TypeKit it puts many of my past understandings into perplexity.
Thank you for any answers towards my questions.

I received an email response from and Adobe Rep:
Let me see if I can clear things up here:
> 1. We currently use Extensis Universal Type Server (UTS). We have a team membership license for Creative Cloud. Does TypeKit interject itself before fonts are loaded from UTS?
A: Unfortunately, I don't have the details here. However, Extensis announced that Typekit can work along side UTS: http://blog.extensis.com/font-management/universal-type-server-now-supports-use-typekit-de sktop-fonts.php
Typekit doesn't install the fonts the same way you would install a perpetual license. I hope that article helps clarify specific questions.
> 2. If fonts are downloaded to the desktop from TypeKit do I need to copy these into UTS? Should my users mix and match fonts acquired with UTS andTypeKit or maintain the status with UTS? Can you disable TypeKit if this is the case? How can we resolve conflicts with fonts if UTS and TypeKit are running?
A: UTS and Typekit should be able to work at the same time. However, you won't be able to add Typekit fonts to UTS. Each CC Team user would need to sync the fonts from Typekit that they wish to use.
> 3. Do we need to purchase fonts now that with TypeKit the claim is all fonts from Adobe are free with CC membership? How does this interact with UTS?
A: If the font you need is in Typekit and you have a Portfolio Plan (through Creative Cloud Teams or otherwise) you get access to that font. So, you can sync it from Typekit and use it in desktop apps. If a font isn't available on Typekit, you would need to purchase a perpetual license for the team and add it to UTS like you have with other fonts.
> 4. Does Adobe still sell fonts if TypeKit being part of the CC subscription implies the complete catalog is free?
A: Currently, you can still purchase perpetual licenses to Adobe owned fonts as well as some other fonts that they resell. However, the Adobe owned fonts and many other commercial fonts are available with a Typekit subscription. Access to Typekit isn't really free. You're paying for it when you pay for Creative Cloud. It's just that Typekit doesn't cost you anything extra since it's included.
> 5. How are font licensing issues handled with TypeKit? In the past, font licensing was a big concern in publishing and still very confusing as to use and purchasing.
A: This article is a good place to start: http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1341590-typekit-font-licensing
If you have specific questions about licensing or use cases, feel free to ask.I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Muse for Joomla and Wordpress

I read the previous post back on April 2012. I have worked with Adobe products for over 20 years and I make my living using your products. But I also create dozens of websites on the joomla and Wordpress cms. I read in 2012 that you stated that Muse is not have native functionality that allows an easy export to Joomla and Wordpress or I just designed a responsive site with desktop, tablet and phone formats. I need a way to export this to joomla site as fresh install, do you know of an app or joomla extension that will do this. I realize I may have to tweak it in code but I don't want to hire a coder to translate it manually. Joomla and Wordpress are the dominant platforms in cms and are very assessable by my clients and although I like adobe business catalyst to truly have this program work for me and thousands of other working designs who use your programs daily and to adapt Muse as a part of our work flow we need a way to do this. Has anything changed since 2012?

Hi Jeff,
I am afraid that this is not possible in Muse at this stage, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.

Typekit and InDesign CC

I'ver installed a Typekit font and used it in InDesign CC.
But now, when I start InDesign, InDesign gives an error the the font is not loaded.
But in my CC I see it is installed.
How can I solve this problem?

Hi Benjamin,
Thnx, here the answers:
- Could you tell me if you're on the Windows/Mac OS X and the version?
Mac OS 10.8.5
- Could you check version of the Creative Cloud app you're using and let me
know which version it is? This can be found under: Gear > Preferences >
General > Account
2.1.2.232?
- Could you try quitting/restarting the Creative Cloud app. Did this solve
the issue?
Removed it several times
- Could you try Turning File and Font Sync off under the gear. Wait a
second, then turn it back on. See if the font/s show up and if not, try
syncing again. Did this solve it?
No
If none of those worked, would you attach the CoreSync files and send those
over?
On the Mac, the folder can be found here:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
(You'll want to open the Finder, click Go, in the menu, hold down the
"option" key and you'll see the Library folder.)
On Windows:
You can find the files under: C:\Users\user
name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\coreSync-2013-08-xx.log
I know this is a lot. Thanks for your help here. Let me know and we'll take
it from there.
I hope you can find out something?

Snow Leopard, PHP, MySQL, Apache and Wordpress!

Hi there,
It's taken me most of the day to work this out, so I thought I should post about it somewhere and here, on the Apple forum, is the ideal location.
I'm a web developer and love the fact that my MacBook works out of the box with a Unix webserver and with little effort, I was able to set up PHP and MySQL on it. I was delighted to hear that the new Snow Leopard was shipping with the latest and greatest of both. It wasn't quite that easy when it came down to running my test sites, one of which I'm working on is a Wordpress site. Far from being daunting, the solutions to the problems I had were quite simple. The issues arose from the OS not having much exposure yet and not many people having posted their experiences on the web. It was just time consuming.
I should mention at this point that this does require some tinkering with Terminal, but not so much as to cause damage if you do something wrong.
First off Apache. Thankfully this is as stable as it always has been. All this requires to activate it is to visit System Preferences > Sharing and switch on Web sharing. Bish-bosh, job done.
Next off PHP. If you open a Safari window and run your phpinfo.php file (where ever you have it saved. If you don't, they're out there, it's a tiny piece of code which you can use to find out your current php setup). You'll find that everything is superb! PHP 5.3! Excellent! Hang on, scroll down to the date and time section. Whoa! What's this big fat warning here.
That warning my friend, has been the bane of my misery all day. Wordpress hates it. HATES IT! It causes no end of grief. So what's the multi step, multi program solution?
Open your php.ini file and add the line:
date.timezone=Country/City
(do a Google search for PHP Timezones and you will get the exact settings. It's not so good that it understands every city in the world. My setting was Europe/Dublin).
That's all. This will solve your issue of the timezone error everywhere. Stop and start Apache (System Preferences > Sharing, tick off and tick back on Web Sharing) and hey presto, error is gone.
Wait a minute, where the **** is my php.ini file. Unfortunately this is where you have to get your hands dirty. Your php.ini file is a system file which resides in the /etc/ folder. Open a terminal window and type exactly the following:
cd /etc/
cp php.ini.default php.ini
This makes the php.ini file from the default. This protects the original so if you ever need to create a new copy or if you make a mistake in the next steps, you can start again.
Next I'm going to tell you how to edit this file. This uses a program called vi (there are GUI editors out there that will save you this heartache, so if anyone knows any, please post in response. I think TextWrangler is one).
First you need to set the php.ini file so you can edit it. Type in exactly as follows:
sudo chmod 777 php.ini
Sudo is the superuser commmand. It may not be needed, but stick it in anyway. If you are asked for a password, put in your normal password (that you would be asked for say if you were installing something you downloaded).
At the next prompt, type in:
vi php.ini
This will open the php.ini file. Using the up and down keys, find a blank line in the file. You will notice that alot of the lines start with ';'. These are commented lines. Once you find a blank line, press 'i' to insert text. Your screen will now say '-- INSERT --' at the bottom in red. Type the following in exactly (you will NOT be able to cut and paste):
; Set PHP Default Timezone
date.timezone=Europe/Dublin
Substitute "Europ/Dublin" with your own timezone. When you are done, press escape. Now type in the following:
:wq!
The colon is important (not a typo on my part) as this tells vi you are going to run a command. You should now be back at your prompt. Now you need to reset the permissions on the file. Type the following:
sudo chmod 444 php.ini
And that's it. That's your PHP setup and finished. If you run your phpinfo.php file now, you should see your timezone under the date and time where you were getting the error before.
Now the MySQL. This is a bit of fun because, even though MySQL ships with the system, it's not exactly set up correctly! So once again into terminal.
This time go to the local directory:
cd /usr/local/
If you type in:
ls -al
You'll get a directory listing. This has the MySQL folder listed as mysql-5.0.77-osx10.5-x86 (or something! I did that from memory!). This IS the MySQL folder but if you, like me, had previously set the MySQL Preference Pane in your System Preferences, then it won't be able to access this. Type the following command:
sudo cp -R /usr/local/mysql* /usr/local/mysql
This should copy everything into a folder called mysql. It takes a couple of seconds (first time on my machine it was a good 20 seconds) to run so be patient. Now you need to do the following:
sudo chown mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql
This sets the owner and group of the mysql files to 'mysql'. If you go back to your MySQL preference pane in System Preferences, you should now be able to start it (something weird about it makes it require to close and reopen the System Preferences window before it can open the MySQL pref pane. This is normal, just click ok).
The bit that got me here, is that I thought that my activation of the MySQL was actually a new install. I tried everything to change the root user and password for MySQL but in fact, if you had it installed on Leopard, prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard, all your users and passwords are the same. If you HAVEN'T installed it before, I recommend you read the Post Installation Customisation (section 2.3) on the manual for MySQL 5.1 on http://www.mysql.com
So that's about it. All that remains is to test Wordpress. I have phpmyadmin installed (I've heard CocoaMySQL is very good, like iTunes for db's so I'm gonna check that out later) and was able to create the new wordpress database. I changed the settings in the wp-configure.php file to match my setup but nothing worked. I changed the host from '127.0.0.1' back to 'localhost' (a common complaint of the wordpress setup) but no joy. Then I changed the host back to '127.0.0.1' and added the port :3306 (so the full host is '127.0.0.1:3306') and bingo, the install worked, my database setup and my test site worked.
So that's it! Many of you out there will say, why didn't you just use MAMP. I did use MAMP, but I also got the Timezone issues and it took far more tinkering and hacking to make it work. I decided that, as my lovely MacBook now running lovely Snow Leopard had the lovely newest versions of PHP and MySQL installed, I'd rather get them working than use a runaround with MAMP. I'm a happier camper for it.
I hope this helps some of you out there. I don't personally have a blog yet, but when I do, I'll post this up there for all to access. I may even add screen shots!!! But seriously, I hope this helps you all out with your installs. It's so handy to have all this stuff straightaway with Snow Leopard, it's just a matter of getting it to work.
All the best now,
T

Hmmmm... I did a clean drive install of Snow Leopard because I used to do it once a year with Windows and hadn't done it in 3 with my MBP.
First, my httpd.conf file had the line enabling PHP commented out, so when I went to see my simple file with phpinfo(), I saw the source. Saw your post, thought it was the timezone, fixed that (which will probably make wordpress happy when I get it running), and it still didn't work. Looked at the httpd.conf file, found that PHP was disabled by default, fixed that line, restarted the server, and my phpinfo() worked like a charm.
Also if you want to edit config files, I use TextWrangler's "open hidden files" option.
But... I have no /usr/local directory at all. Doesn't exist on my machine. Checked the options in the base install and MySQL isn't offered as an option. Checked the optional installs and MySQL isn't there. Even letting spotlight search for hidden files, the only files with MySQL in their name were from php scripts in my web folders.
There's some stuff about installing/compiling from source.
http://hivelogic.com/articles/compiling-mysql-on-snow-leopard/
Dunno if I want to go down that road quite yet.

I have a unique problem with Typekit and Creative Cloud

I've had CC membership for a few months now and have downloaded it onto first a laptop then a desktop. I'm having trouble on the desktop. When I try to access and download typekit fonts through an application or creative cloud, I'm getting a message come up saying "internet explorer has stopped working" and the typekit website does not open properly. I'm therefore unable to access or browse for fonts. The typekit website does not respond and a message comes up saying so. Using windows 8 I can access internet explorer through the Apps page, and browse fonts that way, but it is frustrating and inconvenient not being able to go direct to the website through an adobe application or through creative cloud. Anyone ideas why? Appreciate any help, thanks.

Well I downloaded google chrome to my PC which is what I use on my laptop, and it seems to be working. Not sure why Internet explorer wasn't working but so far google chrome is.

Testing Server Setup Re: Webmatrix and Wordpress

I am new to Wordpress so what I did was to setup up everything through Microsoft Webmatrix. Everything installed find for my Local Host Server. As long as I load up the Webmatrix program first I can put the "localhost" adress in my browser and my Wordpress theme will load up fine.
The next step I did was to try to edit my theme via Dreamweaver CS5. I followed all the Adobe on-line instructions for setting everything up. Nevertheless when I press the live view button Dreamweaver keeps asking for the Texting Server which I thought I already had setup. I pointed the "testing server" folder to the same folder as Wordpress (where the theme is also located via "My Websites."
Everything else seems to work and I followed all the instructions given by Adobe. See:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_testing_server.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt2.html#wordpress
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-79e0a .html
Nevertheless when I press the Live View button Dreamweaver keeps begging for the teasting server. I have the "server model" set to PHP MySQL.
Thanks for your help.

Go to the "Site" menu > 3rd down "manage sites"> pick your site and click the edit button
Click the "Servers" tab on the left, this displays the sites you have, sellect your site and click the testing server check box.
When you press F8 make sure you press the testing server button to log onto your site.
Sorry about the French interface, Quebec laws!
Hope this resolves your issue!
PS: you'll have to add a seperate entry for the live server in order to keep things seperated for Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver and Wordpress compatibility

Hi,
I'm not familiar with this community so hopefully this is the appropriate venue for this question.
I am an old school coder and have switched to using wordpress for my health website/ blog ( http://doctorscotthealth.com ). I'm struggling to create the design elements and personalizations I'm envisioning. I am frustrated with some of the limitations. Can Dreamweaver help updating wordpress templates by accessing and manipulating the php scripts? or is Dreamweaver strictly for writing standard html/css pages? Does it work with php I guess? Is there any teamwork that can be acheived with the two frameworks?
If so are there are any recommended tutorials?

You certainly can use Dreamweaver to code a custom template/theme for WordPress, but you're going to need to have strong php coding skills. I recommend you spend a lot of time with the tutorials and forums over at WordPress which can guide you through some of the process. You'll also need to set up a "local host" on your computer in order to test your code. (Google local host, WAMP or XAMPP or MAMP for more info; there are also a number of threads here about setting up a local host, so search here as well.)
I don't know if Pinboard is a free or premium theme (the one you've currently selected for your site), but if you are not strong in coding php, you might have an easier time finding a good, well-documented premium theme that meets your needs. You'll be able to do some customization, but all the heavy lifting will have been coded for you.
