I would ask the theme vendor for help on themeforest since this a paid theme. We typically only support the free ones.
I have asked them, they just advise to hire a Freelancer… obviously, with the amount of people that know WordPress code these days and that post here on the forums, I figured I could ask here.
Any help is appreciated!
This forum and it’s users do not have access to Commercial Themes. Your point of support for this theme is with them. That said, try twentyten, eleven, or twelve (or a theme hosted here) and a Child Theme and get great support here.
I found that I can hide categories that do not have any entries in them by changing the following line of code on my index.php file:
'hide_empty' => 0,
to:
'hide_empty' => 1,
However, it is still displaying categories on my home page I do not want. I have installed the plug-in: “Ultimate Category Excluder” and it excludes the posts from my home page, but the category still shows up with no posts underneath it.
Is there something I can add / remove to this code to only feature categories I want? Or add / remove something to get the Ultimate Category Excluder plugin to work?
$cat_args = array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC',
'hierarchical' => true,
'parent' => 0,
'hide_empty' => 1,
'child_of' => 0
);
I think there might be a string of code somewhere in my index.php file that these Category Plugins that I’ve tried installing are not able to overwrite or they are bumping heads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
OK so I found that if I add the following string, I can pick and choose what categories I want to show on the front page.
'include' => '3,4,5,6',
Added to:
$cat_args = array(
'include' => '3,4,5,6',
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC',
'hierarchical' => true,
'parent' => 0,
'hide_empty' => 1,
'child_of' => 0
);
However, if I want to take advantage of Category Plugins, is there something else I can add / remove to make this feature work for plugins such as “Ultimate Category Excluder” ?
