Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Different theme for mobile appYou could develop your iOS app to consume the blog content through RSS, which would probably be more flexible to build out your app in the future.
If you really wanted to serve up the HTML App via a theme, you could also add a querystring variable with each request that the theme parses and determines to show an iOS-specific stylesheet if that parameter is set. You’ll probably want to check out http://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API to learn how to register and retrieve a query var.

In reply to: Changing the names on the navigation menu.Nick, have you looked at the ‘Appearance -> Menus’ section of the WordPress dashboard? If you click on one of the links, you can change the navigation bar menu items to display whatever you’d like without renaming the initial pages.

In reply to: Align text to rightYou could try <p align=”right”>, which isn’t technically valid in HTML5 (but should still work). Otherwise, make sure you have a class of .right{text-align:right} in your stylesheet.
Just create a new link in the ‘menu’ section that links to ‘/’. This will send you to your main site page. If you’re on multisite and want to go to the main page, just locate the page that you have set as the front page and add that to the menu with the label ‘Home’.

In reply to: Cannot find add to navigation promtI don’t know much about headway, but under ‘Appearance -> Menus’ the menus probably are set to automatically show the pages. Otherwise, there’s probably a widget that’s controlling this that you could change.

In reply to: themes/templates and future upgrades questionHi Vinny,
The great thing about WordPress is themes can be swapped very easily with a minimal amount of configuration and most popular themes upgrade seamlessly. However, I’d recommend with going with a theme built by a company that actively maintains their themes, as the worst thing that can happen is to use a great theme and find out it hasn’t been used in years and doesn’t work with the newest version of WordPress. Definitely choose wisely.
Have fun,

In reply to: Changing Address for First BlogIshan, you could create a site that will be the ‘main site’ and set up a redirect in .htaccess that redirects all traffic from the main site to the new ‘main site’ at /abc. That way, all traffic that goes to / will go to /abc, but anything under xyz will work the same way.
Hope that helps,

In reply to: Link subsite homepage to main domian page?Hi,
Have you looked at the function network_home_url() described at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/network_home_url? You’ll need to edit your theme to link to the value that function produces and will need to edit a PHP file to create the button or icon with the same link in the theme or plugin you are using.
Good luck!

In reply to: Page content shows above page titleIt looks like whatever is generating your Facebook meta code in the header isn’t escaping the HTML properly, if that helps pinpoint whether it’s the plugin or theme. I second Shawn’s suggestions to pinpoint the problem. Hope it’s relatively painless!
