Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Unique Template for each Custom Post Type CategoryPlease review the Template Hierarchy. You’re making things much more difficult on yourself than you need to.
To create a custom template for a given category term
foobar, create a file namedcategory-foobar.php. WordPress will automatically use it to display the category archive index for thefoobarterm.Another alternative, if your changes can be defined entirely via CSS, is to ensure that your Theme properly uses the
body_class()andpost_class()template tags, and then you can target the CSS classes they output.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Theme ideas needed please…You can use the Menu Widget to output a specific menu in the right sidebar, and you can use a Plugin to control the context in which certain Widgets display.
You could also create custom category template files for each of your 8 or 9 categories, to modify the markup for each category, and output a different page or other menu for each category.
And you can use CSS, in combination with the
body_class()template tag, to change styles (header color, etc.) on a per-category-term basis.Hi Trebord,
Thanks for using the Plugin!
That functionality is by design. I wanted to keep the Plugin as lean and simple as possible, so I take the assumption that an actual human will see, and complete the CAPTCHA.
I’ll take a look at what CF7 does, and consider it though.

In reply to: text in foreign languageYou’re right; this isn’t really a Theme-specific question. What you need is a Plugin that adds multi-language functionality.
The primary consideration for your chosen Theme is that it is translation-ready.

In reply to: How to insert my own contact form in wordpress contact pageYou will need to create a Custom Page Template for your contact form code.
Alternatively, you could install and activate a contact form Plugin, that will provide other options (including using a shortcode).

In reply to: About alternative theme to "Financial Advisor"That template is just an HTML template, and not an actual WordPress Theme.
However, the template is licensed under GPL. Why not just convert it to a proper WordPress Theme, and use it?

In reply to: Theme ideas needed please…With that degree of specificity for your design, you will probably want to look at modifying an existing Theme (either by forking, or via Child Theme), or else hire a designer/developer to design and develop a custom Theme for your purposes.

In reply to: [Awesome Weather Widget] Widget messes with the website footerAlso:
1) Please enable
WP_DEBUG(in wp-config.php:define( 'WP_DEBUG', true )), and report any related errors
2) Do you have any issues with other Themes (e.g. Twenty Twelve) active, or only with Oenology active?
3) What other Plugins do you have active?
4) Do you have a live link to demonstrate the issue?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: category.php template being used instead of single.phpGlad you got it working!
As for the permalink issue with numeric endpoints: it’s actually a very old problem:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5305(Note the ticket number; that’s from 6 years ago. 🙂 )
I didn’t search for a ticket for your specific issue, but I would imagine the two issues are related. Feel free to file a trac report; just be sure to reference the one above. Whomever triages it can determine whether they are the same issue, related, or entirely separate issues.

In reply to: category.php template being used instead of single.phpHere’s the issue:
Common Settings: Custom Structure:
/%category%/%year%/%post_id%But I *think* WordPress is interpreting
%post_id%as month. WordPress can be flaky with numbers on the end of permalink structures (such a an all-numeric post name (title), and perhaps in this case as well).First, try changing permalinks back to default (no rewrites), and see if your permalinks work properly again.
Then, try changing the last part of your custom permalink structure to post name instead of post ID, and see if it works.

In reply to: category.php template being used instead of single.phpDo you have a
functions.phpin your Child Theme?
Do you have any Plugins active?
What is your permalink setting? What happens if you reset your permalink settings?And if all else fails: what happens if you switch to Twenty Twelve directly?

In reply to: category.php template being used instead of single.phpI’m a little confused as to why the home page and static-home page would effect the use between single and category.
It shouldn’t. I’m just laying some investigative groundwork, to make sure you’ve got everything configured normally, and don’t have any custom template/loop issues. 🙂
Next question: do you have a live link where we can see the issue “live”?

In reply to: category.php template being used instead of single.phpOkay, sorry; you had me a bit confused with:
I’ve got a “Static Home Page” and I’ve made the home page a “Recent Posts”. I’ve also created a handful of posts that use a category.
Note: you don’t actually need a
home.php. WordPress will safely fall back to useindex.phpfor your blog posts index. So, you can try renaming that template file, and see if issues are resolved.Other questions:
1) What page is assigned to the Front Page
2) What page is assigned to the Posts Page(You can find these settings via Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading.)

In reply to: category.php template being used instead of single.phpCan you please post the custom query loop code from your custom page template you’re using for your static front page?
