get the path to an images folder inside my theme

To get files from within a child themes folder use

<?php /* Start include file by file path */ ?>
$file_path = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/inc/meta-functions.php';
if( file_exists( $file_path ) ) include_once( $file_path );
<?php /* End include file by file path */ ?>

To get images to display on a template page from within a parent themes folder

<?php /* Start get image by url */ ?>
<?php $img_url = get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/my-image.png'; ?>
<img src="<?php echo $img_url; ?>" alt="" title="" width="" height="" />
<?php /* End get image by url */ ?>

Parent Themes Folder
get_template_directory()
get_template_directory_uri()

If we are using a child theme then TEMPLATEPATH becomes STYLESHEETPATH
Child Themes Folder
get_stylesheet_directory()
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()

These are very handy WordPress function wrappers, which in turn call get_bloginfo() with the correct arguments, returning the path or url.

Hi,
I tested this in twenty eleven and it works fine, added to style.css

.singular img {
    border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;
    box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #E0E0E0;
    padding: 5px;
}

Hi Josh,
I think you would create your own category dropdown and use get_categories() wich has the ‘include’ argument.

I use categories dropdown in this child theme, you can get an example in the download, /inc/pop-meta-functions.php code, line 64 you would need to add the ‘include’, the dropdown is lines 90-103

Thinking a little “outside the box” if the theme supports custom menus create a custom menu and add the categories, in code call the menu with wp_get_nav_menu_items() adding these into a select dropdown, much cleaner and loads more control.

Hi,
If you have a smaller logo then you can overlay it on a header to keep perspective, after reading this I wrote a post on logo’s and header images.

Have a look at this post from Esmi, this is how you would do it in twenty eleven.

But you would need to change the filtered function name

function my_header_image_height($height) {
	return 150;
}
add_filter( 'brunelleschi_header_image_height', 'my_header_image_height');

A menu walker returns the menu as an array, and you can then add classes, change output etc:

This post here add the menu description to the menu items as an example.

The walker I had to write was for the sub menu, as category menu classes do not add ancestor classes, so I had to find the ancestors, parents and siblings

So that is what you would be looking at really, getting the related menu items via a walker and showing them on a sub menu, I have the code for categories but not custom menu items.

If it is your own website for $16 there is UberMenu MegaMenu

Or these from Design Chemical

Hi we had the same thing a couple of days ago, different as it puts 3 post images as thumbnails in a row, but the pastebin code and styles may help.

The counter % 4 returns the remainder 4 so every forth iteration is 0 which is false, the rest return 1 2 or 3 which are true as they have a value.

Have a look at my last reply, it has links to the code, for four columns it would be the width:

.quarter {
     width: 22.05%;
}

and the style code:

$counter++;
$class = ( $counter % 4 ) ? '<div class="quarter">' : '<div class="quarter last">';
echo $class; //Output the start class
/*
$counter % 4 returns true 1=1 2=2 3=3 and false on 4 = 0
so the class last is returned when false is returned, 4, 8, 12, 16
*/

After the row is complete then add:

echo '<div style="clear:both;"></div>';

This should give you enough to work with.
