Details on PressRow replacement, Pilcrow

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello again.

    In Pressrow theme, when you click on a link, link text colour changes, in order to show you in the future that you already have clicked this link.

    In Pilcrow theme, links are always blue.

  • @defotosyalgunaotratonteria Links inside posts should still exhibit the same behavior in Pilcrow but simpler non-underlined navigation links will remain in the link color to highlight that they’re still links.

    Ok, I think I understand you. Altgought I did not mean links inside posts, but sidebar links.

    Hi I adjusted our blog theme to pilcrow’s new tags. I noticed that the html tags were slightly different between the home screen and the pages. The classes were consistent so I was able to correct my stylesheet.

    However, in testing across browsers, I found this markup at the top of the screen in IE8:
    <!--[if gt IE 7 | (!IE)]>

    Not sure what is going on there. Doesn’t show up in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Opera.

  • @siapap Thanks for catching that. It shouldn’t be there anymore. :)

    i sent an email the other day to support as requested, but i haven’t gotten a reply. i keep checking preview to see if pilcrow is working, and i see that the same problems i sent to support are still there–namely, in the nested comments, by the time you get to the 5th one, everything gets squished into the right border (i love how the nested comments appear in coraline, but there are other things i don’t like in that particular theme). youtube was getting cut off in pilcrow before, but now it’s gone completely and only the url remains. just wondering if any progress has been made.

    thanks for all the hard work you do. :D

  • @nonnie9999 We sent a reply back to your support request shortly after you’d sent it in. Would you be able to check your spam or junk mail folders and let us know if you received it?

    I sent an email three days ago and NO REPLY. And if you delete my posting here, this will prove that you are not a business but rather, you hate your paying customers (I pay you guys real money).

    What is going on here? Talk to us!

    And I checked my spam and junk folders and found nothing, by the way.

  • @emsnews Every blogger on WordPress.com is important to us. We’ve sent 2 emails in response to your support requests with an offer to help in any way we can with transitioning your Custom CSS to Pilcrow. But it’s really something that has to be done via email. Would you be able to try contacting us with a different email address?

    @themeshaper: Am I able to change the title of the “Home” page? I know I can add a page and set it as the main display, but I’d like to not have two links going to the same place. I know this can be done with custom CSS, but can it be done without?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Further information: when I try to add another page with a title other than “Home” and set it as the main page, Pilcrow changes the name of the new page to “Home” in the top navigation. So, now there are two pages titled “Home” instead of none …

  • @staceystradleyarnold Custom Menus will allow you to take full control of the top menu in Pilcrow. I hope that helps!

    @themeshaper,

    i checked my email accounts, and i haven’t gotten a reply. i checked the trash, and unless you’re a nigerian banker who wants me to look after a dead millionaire’s bank account (for a small fee, of course, just to keep me honest) and share in the spoils at some point in the future, then i didn’t receive anything.

  • @nonnie9999 Could you point us to an example post on your site where the nested comments aren’t working as expected? We’ll take a look at it right away.

    @themeshaper,

    i haven’t activated pilcrow yet, because of the problems with it. do you want me to do that temporarily so that you can see what’s wrong? if there’s a way you can preview it without my activating it, you can see the problems in this post:

    Pulp Affliction

    i’ve also been wondering if i have to manually edit every comment with a youtube in it. my commenters have been using the embed code, and that worked fine up until the other day. now, all those embedded videos are gone, and only the code is there. you can see what i mean in this post:

    A Jarring Recollection

    i was told in another thread that we should just use just the url, and i’ve told my commenters to do that, but i’m wondering if i have to edit all the old comments. that’s going to be a major pain.

    thanks so much for your help.

    My custom header disappeared when I activated Pilcrow — how can I get it back? I don’t have it saved…

  • Unknown's avatar

    @preventionrd, switch back to pressrow while you still can and save your header.

    Hey, I’m back. Commented a couple times above.

    Okay, I bit the bullet, closed my eyes, and just clicked ‘Switch to Pilcrow’ now. My first impression… what changed?! It looks great! A few slightly more refined looks and feels and overall I’m very, very happy. You kept your word that it would look the same and I really appreciate that.

    But! (sorry, there’s one tiny but) There is one tiny thing I really don’t like — that big, rectangular BLACK footer. I feel it’s very jarring, out of character, and frankly… annoying. I don’t want / need my blog’s tagline printed on every page… and to have it in black is I think really unfortunate.

    My first request would be to remove it completely (I’m fine w/ a small link to WordPress of course – well deserved), but if that’s not possible can it at least be made as black font on white background so it doesn’t stick out so much?

    Thank you so much for all the work you’re doing.

    Neil
