staff

[Alejandro Paredes]

Hi Bill!

Hope everything is going well for you, honestly thanks for your great support! I have few more question =)

1.I would like to add the contact info for the staff members and the social icons under the picture and not at the bottom.

2. I’m trying to use the quotes but seems the format is not working.

3.I have been able to insert the slide in the home page using the media link in the dashboard. However I’m a little confuse how to use the slide tag in the theme options.

thanks

Alejandro

Good Morning Alejandro,

Let’s see if we can find answers to your questions.

1. The only trouble you’ll run into using icons for your social links is there aren’t any that are bundled with the theme that you could use there. The ones in the footer are white so they won’t show up against a white background. You’ll have to find some icons that you’d like to use.

Once you’ve done that, upload the images by going to the Media section and selecting Add New. Click the edit link that appears after each image finishes uploading. You’ll need some information from the edit screen in a few minutes so don’t close those new tabs.

Then go to the Theme Options page and select the Styling tab. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and paste this:

p.staff-meta span a {
	float: left;
	width: 32px;
	height: 32px;
	margin-right: 10px;
	text-indent: -9999px;
}

.facebook-link a {
	background-image: url(https://yoursite.com/facebook.png);
}

.twitter-link a {
	background-image: url(https://yoursite.com/twitter.png);
}

.email a {
	background-image: url(https://yoursite.com/email.png);
}

Now we’ll need information from those edit screens. You’ll want to click on each one and look on the right hand side for a “file URL” box. Copy the URL from your Facebook icon and then use that copied URL to replace the http://yoursite.com/facebook.png in the snippet above. Repeat that for email and Twitter icons too.

You also may need to adjust the height and width in the snippet above to match the size of your icons.

Update your settings once you’ve done that. You should now have icons for your social links.

To move the links under the image, do this:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress control panel and select Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose single-staff.php
3. Find this line:

   and cut it.

4. Scroll down just a bit until you see this:

   
   <?php the_post_thumbnail('staff-full'); ?>
   

5. Paste the line from above right below that.
6. Save your changes.

That should add in social links and also move them below the staff image.

Try adding this to your Custom CSS box to style up your block quotes just a bit:

blockquote {
	background-color: #f5f5f5;
	border: 1px solid #ddd;
	font-style: italic;
}

See if that isn’t a bit better.

Good question about the slide titles. In the Agency theme, they only help you keep track of your slides. They’re not shown on the front of the site at all. You could say they are for “internal use only.”

---

I hope that helps out. If you have other questions, let me know.

Enjoy your weekend,
Bill

Hi Bill!

Thanks for your answer, it worked nicely just what I wanted! I;m having a problem with twitter when using the widget I’m not able to see anything other than a weird message?

here is the link

thanks again!

Alejandro.

p.s. I have a question about membership which email should I use?

[Bill Robbins]

Alejandro,

Twitter retired their original API that the widget used to pull in latest tweets. I have a blog post at http://www.organizedthemes.com/using-twitter-widget-pro/ that can show you how to use a plugin that works with the new API from Twitter.

If you have any membership questions, just shoot an email to support@organizedthemes.com and I’ll be glad to help.

Thanks,
Bill
