    Sorry – I’m not sure which forum category this falls under

    I don’t program.

    I’m looking for a specific functionality and format that I have not seen in any themes or I missed them.

    On a page (main page or what ever) I want to have category titles with multiple posts under each Category for a given days postings under a banner for that category – example:

    Page would have:

    Category _A____________________________banner
    Post 1 (for Cat A
    Post 2 “
    Post 3 “
    Post 4 “

    Category B _____________________________banner
    Post 1 (for Cat B
    Post 2 “

    Category C_____________________________ banner
    Post 1 (for Cat C

    Once the Calendar day changes the posts for the previous day clear the page and go to archive (as per normal) and the next day posts are displayed under their respective categories.

    page would have Normal right and or left side bars etc.

    Possible yes but can I do this without programming PHP or the like?

    I’ve asked WPRemix if their software will allow me to do this but they have never gotten back to me

    I guess this isn’t the right place for this. Is there a better place to get this question answered? Is there somewhere I can PAY to get this answered (not necessarily done)

    You’re likely going to have to get your hands dirty with PHP. Have you studied up on The_Loop?

    This article isn’t exactly what you’re after: http://is.gd/ioFU
    However, it might help you with some of the code bits.

    Regarding paying for answers: everyone here (in the forums) is an unpaid volunteer. However, you might also consider trying the WordPress Jobs or the WP-Pro’s mailing list. You’ll find folks who would take money there.

    Good luck and hope that helps!

    It’s like HandySolo says, custom PHP coding the theme with multiple loops.

    Thanks HandySolo and mores. Much Appreciated.

    Sounds like I’m sunk. I don’t have time to learn PHP (probably don’t have the patience either). Even if I paid to have this done (and probably can’t afford it) I’m betting that tweaks would have to be done every time WP upgraded for example – among other things.

    Thanks again.

    Probably not, no. That’s why themes are sep. from core code. It isn’t perfect, but it does isolate you quite a bit.

    The link I gave you earlier essentially has all the code. You could lift almost all of it, just change the markup from columns to whatever you want instead.

    huh. Ok well thanks.
    I’ll get my hands on a fresh batch of sedatives just in case, and give it a shot. 😉
