In reply to: Posts not showing up but coding does!@swansonphotos: If the permalink settings were set to custom and broke somehow, wouldn’t it lead to a 404 instead? It isn’t doing that as the comments for each page are still showing up… thus meaning permalink settings shouldn’t be an issue?
I don’t know for sure, just my thought.

In reply to: How can I exclude a category from a page other than home?I think everyone is just confused as to your question. Your website just displays “no posts in this category”.
Don’t you just need to add your posts to the specific category so they display in your parent category page? IE: the chosen category?

In reply to: Stylesheet wiped out after upgradeYou might be lucky to find a a Google cache of the site? I think those last a few days. Might be able to copy the stylesheet similar to what ClaytonJames mentioned.

In reply to: javascript slideshow not responsivePossibly because you have so many .js files… one could be conflicting.
It also shows some sort of error in the jquery.timers so that could be a start.

In reply to: Using WP as CMS but need posts on home pageI don’t quite understand. It appears that you have a loop in your home page template to display recent posts. Is this not the desired action already?
if you want excerpt, make sure you’re using excerpt and not get content.

In reply to: Splash page for image, no sidebar or headerheader.php is usually just all the header information – which you need. It shouldn’t have anything related to the theme… although sometimes it does include the navigation.
You will want to create a custom template instead of hacking up your current template. Simply add this to the top of a template to create a template:
<?php/* Template Name: Home Template */ ?>Then remove the sidebar part……
… then learn css. lolForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding Video to Portfolio postsIf you were able use the youtube embeds you can go back to that.
What this theme/example is doing is loading the video in what is called a thickbox, or lightbox. There are tons of plugins for this, or you can even add it manually by getting the files (just google thickbox and it’s first link).
What you do is add a special class to your video and it will then open in the thickbox/lightbox.
There may be a mention in the theme read me file as to what plugin they could be using. You can use thickbox’s with images, video, frames, and even .pdf’s to an extent.
Perhaps find one of these plugins or add it manually to your theme, then in your page, create 4 columns and embed your youtube videos.
Manual Link: http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/
Plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thickbox/installation/
Documentation: http://www.christianschenk.org/projects/wordpress-thickbox-plugin/#howtoclass=”thickbox”
If your theme says it will work, all the code must be in it already, and you need to add the class to the youtube video’s embed code. Find the class… possible “thickbox”

In reply to: Can't add blog postPerhaps try reinstalling the current version of wordpress? Or, before trying that also disable all plugins and revert to default theme just to be really sure we can rule all that out.
