Speakers Page/Widget problems

1) I am having trouble figuring out how to change the category-speakers.php file to the right slug (category-breweries.php). Where do I go to change the file? I understand that I need to change the slug and I've read in the forum multiple posts that it is the answer in Fest/category-speakers.php, but I don't know where to find this file. If it is the theme file downloaded- I changed it to category-breweries.php on my laptop but when I tried to reupload the theme it doesn't work. I have no clue what I am doing/what to do now.

2) I have the header widget, speakers widget, and sponsors widget on my website but I only want them on the homepage. I have put the code in the "text" widget and clicked widget rules >> visible at no pages except >> homepage AND I added / (which is the slug for the homepage), but all of the widgets show up on all of the pages. I am not sure what I can do to make the widgets appear only on the homepage since I have clicked the settings I thought would work.

Please let me know what I can do to fix my problems! Thanks.

Hello,

Could you please provide me with a URL to your website and back-end access via PM (click the “Private Message” text underneath my avatar) so that I may analyze it? It is a lot easier for us to diagnose issues when we have a live site to examine.

In your backend all settings seem to be ok. Now you have to change the category-speakers.php file into category-breweries.php and single-gavern_speakers.php into single-breweries.php that's all (please connect to your server via FTP and navigate to wp-content/themes/Fest directory.)

Regarding the second issue - your homepage is set to static page Homepage Content, so you should use widget rules with the page with id: 1010, I've change widget rules and it's ok.

http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients << Is this the right instructions to do connect my server via FTP? I have no experience doing this and would like to make sure I am not going to mess up anything.

Yes, it is right instructions, you can also use web file manager i.e.:cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk

Other questions:
1) How do you get the events template for pages to not show the big --------------title--------------- and the leave a reply section?
2) How do you get the social media icons on the top right corner of the page to open in a new window?

Hi,
Regarding your questions:
1) Are we talking about speakers category?: http://www.gavick.com/demo/wordpress/fest/?cat=87 or single speaker
2) You have to edit Fest/gavern/widget.social.php file and change the links i.e.:

Code: Select all

<a href="'.str_replace('&', '&amp;', $twitter_link).'" class="gk-twitter-icon">Twitter</a>


into:

Code: Select all

<a href="'.str_replace('&', '&amp;', $twitter_link).'" class="gk-twitter-icon" target="_blank">Twitter</a>


Back to question 1) on the Speakers page there is a --SPEAKERS-- banner and on my page there is a "Leave a Reply" section that I would like to get rid of (I can DM you admin info)

3) How do you get rid of breadcrumbs?
4) How do you change the size of the ticker widget? I tried changing the width in the HTML structure under the "Header" section of Widgets but it didn't seem to work

1) Comments are disabled now (you can do it whe you editing your page - under the content).
3) Please check Fest -> Template Options -> Basic tab and "Conditional Breadcrumbs Display" option
4) You should change the elements of the widget, i.e. decrease main title font-size:

Code: Select all

.gk-animation h1 {
font-size: 70px;
}
