Hi, I did not manage to get an echo php displayed in the header but I managed to solve it:

 

 
add_action('pagelines_inside_top_branding', 'google_counter');
function google_counter(){

?>
<div><?php echo gplus_count(); ?></div>
<?php }
	// end function

 

I do have an other question. When I pick a font, in my example Yanone Kaffeesatz, It looks totally different in IE and FF and Google. But it sais it is * Denotes Web Safe Fonts

G Denotes Google Fonts, so should it not look the same? When I look at other sites like internetmarketinguniversiteit[dot]nl he did managed to look the Yanone look the same in all browsers...

Hi,

 

I have three things not looking the way it should be.

On my website www [dot] ruzzleonline [dot] nl I have a newsletter optin box in my header.

There is a black button (Gratis Ruzzle niewsbrief >>) in Chrome and FF, but in IE it looks totally different (no rounded corners, grey).

Also when you fil in your name in IE there is a dotted border around the box, I don't like that.

Anyone knows the CSS solution, I use the LESS file so that is also possible.

 

Second CSS challenge.

I added a search box from google on the left sidebar at the bottom. As you can see it looks very strange, it looks that there is a second box behind the google box and the blue searchbutton is very tiny.

Anyone knows how I can make this look beautifull?

 

Third challenge. How can I make my submenu 'li' fit the text of the menu item so that all words are on one line?

 

Kind regards,

 

Willem

Hi Willem,

 

1. For the button add the following to your custom CSS and see if this resolves your button issues.

If this doesn't resolve your issue, I recommend you contact the author of the code/plugin you're using.

 

2. Like above, this from the looks of it is related to the CSS for the code/plugin you're using for your Google Search. As this code is not PageLines, we are unable to provide any support, you will need to contact the author of the code.

Hi,

 

1) This is just code, not a plugin. But I discover the F12 option in IE, there developer toolbar so I could exactly discover what the problem was.

2) Still busy with that.

3) Did not get reply on this issue.

 

And I have a new question. I want to use FB/Twitter and Google snippets like on

.

But I don't manage to get this in the header with hooks. I can put a signup form in the header, or an advertisment or anything else. But this I don't know.

I have to echo something also, what makes it more difficult.

 

Hope to hear from you soon.

 

Kind regards,

 

Willem

For your third issue, you need to adjust the width of the <li> submenu (make it wider using this property:

).

 

As for your new issue, were you inserting the functions into the functions.php file (not the single line code, but the code directly underneath it for each social network)? I think it would be easier to find a plugin that replicates this function.

Hi Catrina,

 

I really want to use the snippets instead of another plugin. 

I have Pagelines Customize plugin and there it is possible to change the functions.php. This is also what I did to have my e-mail signupform and adsense advertisment show up in header.

But with these snippets, I don't know how to get them in my header. Hope you can help me out with this.

 

Kind regards,

 

Willem

PS I will trie that property!

I have just tested the font on Chrome and FF and they look the same as far as I am concerned. Therefore, can you create a new topic and provide screenshots of what you're seeing in the different browsers please.
