What do you mean by halfscreen block, that there are two columns for part of the display?
The simplified code is
<div id="content"> <!-- float: left -->
---- full width code (image display) -----
<div class="column"> <!-- left col -->
---- code -----
</div>
<div class="column"> <!-- right column -->
---- code -----
</div>
----- more full width code -----
</div>
The css for class column includes
#content .column {
float: left;
width: 49%;
}
Yes, thanks, I mean two columns – left and right.
The theme I linked to seems to have items matching one category in the left block and another category in the right block.
Is there a plug-in that will do that for me or do I need to edit code?
Hi
Here is a sample of the loop that you put in each of those columns. $recent is the name of a variable. Use a different variable name in each block. Both will start with a $ cat=1 means include the category that has the category ID #1 showposts means the max # of posts to include
To find the cat ID, go to the category maint screen – point at the name of the cat – look in the lower left corner at the browser’s status line – you will see a URL – the cat ID is at the end of that URL.
<div class="featured">
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=1&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_content(__('Read the story »'));?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
