Did a quick poke around that target theme and I am thinking you are going to have to manually enter the “get search form” in the header file.

You may have to finagle the CSS to get the theme’s searchform.php to dispaly properly in that top menu (that is where you want this, yes?)

Basically you will open your site and go to the admin section, click on “Appearance >> Editor” and in there choose the “Header (header.php)” file.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of that file and look for

</div>
<!--menu end-->

Insert the get_search_form function between the /div and menu end, so it now looks like:

</div>
<?php get_search_form( $echo ); ?>
<!--menu end-->

That “should” get you closer to what you are looking to do.

Cheers!

So, you do not have anything on the left hand side which shows the Appearance Menu item like this?

Heya dinidh,

I’ve not seen anything quite as explicit as what you’re asking for in your post, but there are certainly some work around options, if you put your mind to it.

First, when you’re clients “log in” to your site to see their galleries, is there anything they are “doing” as a logged in member of the site?

If no, then they really don’t need to be added as actual WordPress users to the site, but you still want a way to control access for them to their gallery of photos, yes?

What if you used a plugin like “Pretty Link Lite” and manually assigned them their link:

http://www.dinidh.tld/wCc98a

Of course that short link would take them to wherever you are posting their gallery images (http://www.dinidh.tld/James-photos/) where you could password protect (using the built in WordPress privacy functionality, wetting the password to “wCc98a”.

Might be some extra work for you, but short of there being something pre-built out there, I would imagine this could work for you.

Share whatever solution you come up with? Thanks.

Cheers!

A link to your site/blog page would be most helpful, brian914!

But I think I understand what you are describing. The challenge is once the site visitor clicks to see the actual blog post, they are technically no longer “under the Tastings & Events” page, from WordPress’ perspective. The install is now using the single.php page (or some other custom page you might have set up), but they are “posts” not “pages”.

I know that doesn’t answer you question, per se, however, it might point you in a better direction.

Cheers!

Heya ,

Like songdogtech indicated, WordPad can be a little tricky. You can use it just fine, but know that by default it saves all files as Rich Text Format (.rtf). You can change that by either always choosing to “Save As” and choose the .txt format, or by altering the default save as option. Learn how to do that here.

Hope that helps.

Cheers!

Heya Deliverem,

You are likely going to get as many different opinions on your question as folks that reply! They are both quite excellent plugins and while generally they perform the same functions there are differences between the two.

Like most heavy duty plugins that do several different things, these two search engine optimization plugins can be very challenging to truly learn how to use effectively. Of course, at the same time they also both are structured to be very good right out of the box and on install/activation at your site.

Truth be told, you are not going to go wrong using either one of them. Just don’t use them both at the same time! But you might try one on your current project and try the other on your next one. See which one seems to do the better job for the type of sites you are running.

Share how things work out for you.

Cheers!

Can you post a link to a search by category which demonstrates what you mean? When I do a search based upon your info above, I “seem” to get the same looking page either way.

Thanks.

Cheers!
