    Hello again,

    Thanks for all this support!  It is truly appreciated.   I am working offline on localhost so I’m not sure how I could send you a link to the site for you to see.  (Again, I’m new so if you know of another way, I’d be glad to try it.)  I could send you a screen shot if that helps, but I’m guessing you want to see the codes on the page.  I can live with just using the Novoslider’s default theme for now showing the radial buttons.

    I do have a bigger problem and that is my logo isn’t showing at the top of the homepage only.  All other pages do show the logo at the top.  Here’s all of the css custom codes I have in the startup pro options area:

    #slider{display:none}

    .home #slider{display:block}

     

    header {

    padding-bottom: 0;

    }

    nav {

    margin-top: 0;

    }

    #slider {

    margin-bottom: 0;

    }

    I’ve tried refreshing, updating every page by page, etc., but nothing.  I had at one point in the custom css area #site-title{display:none}but a decision change meant we had to reinstate the logo.  Could that code have triggered a change elsewhere that I have to go in and alter it back?

    4. This is a WordPress theme standard. If you’d like to setup a child theme to hack and change the code we can walk you through this. Or we can help you to style them differently if that’s the issue?

    Yes, I need to setup a child theme to change this standard function in WordPress.  I found the documentations for it at  http://op111.net/53/ and http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    Should I go ahead and use these?

    Thank you!

    Thank you for the codes!  For #2, the space between the slider and the first post is still there.  I suspect it is because of the slider so I changed the theme in NivoSlider to none, but now I still have the space and instead of the radial buttons, I have slide numbers there (in my case I have two images so the numbers 1 and 2 appear).  I also have the words “next” and “prev” at the right and left of the images in the slider.

    Is it also possible to remove hyperlinks from post titles?

    Thank you!!

    Sorry, one more item…

    4.  How do I remove the hyperlink from the blog post titles?

    Thank you.

    Thank you for referencing the setup again, because I just had to make sure I was naming the slider “slider” and not something else.  It’s working great!

    Thank you!  It worked awesome.  Being so new to website building, I didn’t realize changing stuff in the index.php files, etc., was hacking.  Glad to know that the custom css area in the pro version is the only place for ALL customizations.  Thanks again!

    Hello,

    Thank you for the suggestions.  I actually do have Illustrator but pretty new to using it.  I was at last able to upload to NivoSlider a png file that have the dimensions 1000 x 521.  However, the slider is showing nothing on the website after updating multiple times.    I also tried uploading two images with the exact same dimensions and settings, but getting the same empty space with no images.

    Out of all the themes I’ve tried as a novice, StartupWP by far has been the easiest to use for most everything else.  I would truly appreciate any help!

    Thank you!!

    Hello there,

    I’m having the same “grey area” issue that finucap2 mentioned earlier.  I tried to upload a single image to start with, but nothing.   I suspect it’s an image size issue for me (current size is 384×256) as well, but can’t figure out where to make sure the image size I’m uploading matches Nivoslider’s.  I’ve deactivated all other plugins, etc., and also made sure I’m using the pro version.  The non-pro version was working just fine before I upgraded and I was able to adjust the image sizes right in the plugin.  The pro version doesn’t seem to let me the same way.  Am I missing something?

    Thank you so much!
