    Hi! Great Theme!

    I uploaded the staff and filled out the email, linkedIn and Twitter info on the bottom of the page but for some reason when I click on the button it says page not found.
    Anything I can do to make it work?

    Thanks!

    Rodrigo,

    Thank you for your business first of all. Sorry for the trouble there. For each of the social links, are you placing the full URL to their profiles there? Like for Twitter you’ll need something like:

    
    http://www.twitter.com/billrobbins
    

    for the network. If the full URL including the http:// isn’t there, it may think you’re trying to find a spot on your site and turn up a 404 error.

    If you’ve done that and it’s still not popping up, could you send over a link to your staff page so I can take a closer look for you?

    Thanks again,
    Bill

    Thanks Bill! that did it for everything but the emails, do I just have to put the email address or do I have to complete the profile with something else?

    Cheers!

    Good point. To make a link for your email address, instead of using http:// use this format:

    
    mailto:user@domain.com
    

    just replace the user@domain.com with the email address you’d like to turn into a link.

    See how that works for you and let me know if you run into trouble there.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    That did the trick! Last couple of questions:
    1-the twitter button shows up with a blue background…can I make it look like the rest of the buttons?
    2-can I make the shaded portion of the staff box (the one containing the name, position, etc) the same size? Currently one is bigger than the other because of a long last name…

    My page is bridge37.com (under the team page) incase you want to look and see what I mean.

    Thanks!

    You’re site’s looking great. Let’s see if we can square away your next questions:

    1. It looks like the social buttons plugin may be adding in the t and the background color there. Here’s how to take it back out:

    1. Go to the Theme Options page and select the Advanced tab.
    2. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and paste this:
      
      ul.network-icons li:before {
      	content: '';
      }
      
      ul.network-icons li.twitter {
      	background: none;
      	border: none;
      }
      
      
    3. Update your settings.

    2. You can even out the heights there. Just add this snippet to your Custom CSS box too:

    
    #staff-list article .staff-entry {
    	min-height: 185px;
    }
    

    If you run into any other questions or trouble, just let me know.

    Have a great weekend,
    Bill

    That did it! One last tiny thing (sorry to bug so much). Anything I can do to make the title and social buttons be closer to the bottom (inline with the ones of the person next to it)?

    Thanks again!

    Absolutely. Just add this to the Custom CSS box too:

    
    #staff-list article#post-284 p.job-title {
    	margin-bottom: 47px;
    }
    

    That should move the social icons down into line next to the others.

    Thanks again,
    Bill
