Article Links

    I am working on a website of a friend who was started by someone else. This person set the site up using Word Press, and I unfortunately don’t know a lot about this particular content management system.

    He set the articles up to show up in a section called Articles. However, he set them up to show up by month. So if there are 15 articles they all go back-to-back in the particular month that they were added to the section.

    Is there a way to get the articles to link by specific day or even better can they be linked by article title?

    The website is http://www.christkingdomcome.com if you need to “see” what I’m talking about.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    At the moment, every post is contained within a single category called ‘Articles’.

    Posts are placed into the site in a chrolological fashion,so any written in September will show in that archive and any in July in that archive and so on…

    What may be a more suitable option [in light of what you are seeking] is to make each post a page instead. This involves a bit of cut and paste work, but then you will have each article with its own title, contained by istelf. You can call the pages automatically into a list in your sidebar and this will list every article for ease of navigation.
    It will also rectify the issue of long pages of posts [with each one being long by itself already].

    There are other options too of course, but this may sut your needs.

    Yes that is exactly what I’m looking for. How do I do that exactly?

    As I say, a bit painstaking in the copy/paste department, but open a post – copy the content to a page – save with exactly the same title – delete the old post.

    In your sidebar you place some code – a call to your pages – and as each page is completed, it will show as a part of the page list.

    <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li='); ?> which can be styled using your CSS will list the pages.

    On what page do I put this particular code? <?php wp_list_pages(‘depth=1&title_li=’); ?>

    Sorry for the elementary questions, but I’m VERY challenged when it comes to coding :).

    To have that showing in your sidebar, paste it into your theme sidebar.php file
