• Alright, so, for quite some time I have been working on iwannaplay, which is an online Arcade site. And, the progress has gone smoothly. However, I have hit a stump in the road– I want to add a blog. Now, that would be easy normally, but I don’t want to be like the majority of webdesigners and use premade skins. No, I have to make my own.

    I am basing it off of my sites, so that way it fits in. This progress has gone well, but, now I’m at the sidebar.

    Here is the code I would use for a sidebar item:
    ‘ <div class=”box-header”>

    • <h2><?php _e(‘Archives’); ?></h2>
      </div>
      <div class=”box-content”>
      <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>

    </div>

    It has a header class, and a content class, then I would just repeat it for each item. It worked!~ For two of the menu items. However, Blogroll and pages are different.

    Here is my progress so far:

    http://www.iwannaplay.org/blog

    As you can see, I have the majority of the menu done, as said, except for the Blogroll and Pages section. Here is my blogroll code:
    ‘ <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>
    <?php } ?>’

    That, I have NO CLUE how to edit into working with the afformentioned code.

    Here is my Pages Code:
    ‘ <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=<div class=”box-header”><h2>’ . __(‘Pages’) . ‘</h2> </div>’); ?>’

    Clearly, I got the header part done. The content part…. Not so well.

    How would I modify wp_list_pages and get_links_list? I can’t even find where the functions are at.

  • well, see I think you’re going about this entirely the wrong way.

    instead of putting a div around your h2, and div around the list, why not just use the classes that are already there? Ditch those extra divs, they’re pointless.

    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>'.__('Pages').'</h2>'); ?>
    
    <?php wp_list_categories('title_li=<h2>'.__('Categories').'</h2>'); ?>
    .categories h2,
    .pagenav h2 {
      put BOTH the box-header style stuff here
      as well as the H2 stuff you were using
    }
    
    .categories ul,
    .pagenav ul {
      put the box-content stuff here.
    }
    
    .categories ul ul,
    .pagenav ul ul {
      negate the stuff you did up there,
      remove borders, reset the padding and margins, whatever
      you don't want that stuff showing up for child pages/cats
    }

    everything has its own classes already, just *use* them
