In reply to: div post class name explanationMaybe these classes are just created dynamically in the php and it is up to the dev if they want to define classes in the .css file.
Bingo! That’s exactly it.

In reply to: div post class name explanationElements in CSS can have multiple classes–and they are indeed separated by whitespace. It just makes it easier to style things and to apply the exact formatting to any particular element but without having to create a whole new style for that element. Using the example you posted, your div is going to be styled according to the CSS rules from each of the classes attached to it, ie. “post-137”, “post”, “type-post”, etc. etc.
To customize those classes, all you have to do is just manually add them to your stylesheet. For example, if you want all of your posts to look the same, define a CSS rule using a class that is common to all of the posts:
.post { margin-top: 10px; font-weight: bold; }Now all of your divs with a “.post” class will have a top margin of 10px and the text will be bolded.
This is my basic understanding of it, anyway…hopefully someone else will be able to shine more light on the subject. Additionally, you might want to do a Google search for “multiple CSS classes” or something along those lines…there’s lots of good reading out there.

In reply to: Reduce Margin / Padding Between Content & Footer in Twenty Ten-Your ‘.hentry’ class has a 48px bottom margin.
-‘#colophon’ in your footer has 18px top padding.
-“#af-form-1649185636” has some bottom padding as well.
Take those down and it should help bring everything closer together. I also see some stray < br >’s and dividers that you could probably get rid of as well.

In reply to: Exclude an item from a list of news items…I will…although I just stumbled across another solution:
( adapted from: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-exclude-current-posts-from-2nd-loop?replies=3 )
<?php global $wp_query; $thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID; $other_posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&exclude='.$thePostID.'&orderby=date'); foreach( $other_posts as $post ) :?> <ul><li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li></ul> <?php endforeach; ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Exclude an item from a list of news items…All it seems to be doing is spitting out the ID of the post at the top of the list:

I see where you were going with it though…

In reply to: Exclude an item from a list of news items…No problem.
Thanks again for all your help.

In reply to: Exclude an item from a list of news items…Yes! That works brilliantly. Thanks so much. But…
What would I have to add if I want the POST ID in that code to reflect the POST ID of whatever post is currently being viewed?

In reply to: Exclude an item from a list of news items…That sidebar isn’t actually a sidebar…as in, not dynamic. I basically hard-coded the “other news” box within the XHTML, if that makes any difference.
The code I’m using is essentially what I listed above:
<div id="othernews"> <div class="box"> <h3>Other News</h3> <ul><?php get_archives('postbypost', '6', 'html', '', '', FALSE); ?></ul> </div> </div>That’s all I’m using to display that list of other posts.

In reply to: Exclude an item from a list of news items…Thanks, but it didn’t seem to do anything. 🙁

In reply to: Exclude an item from a list of news items…Here’s a link to a single post:

*Note: The “outernews” div referenced in the code I posted above was changed for clarity…on the actual site, that div is actually called “sidebar”.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Exclude an item from a list of news items…Nope — not using any sidebar or widget on this page. The “other news” is just listed in a div that I added within the template:
<?php get_header(); ?> <div id="page"> <div id="page-inner" class="clearfix"> <div id="othernews"> <div class="box"> <h3>Other News</h3> <ul><?php get_archives('postbypost', '6', 'html', '', '', FALSE); ?></ul> </div> </div> <div id="content"> <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="post-content clearfix"> <h3 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h3> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/postmeta.php'); ?> <?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) { $thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'thumbnail_name'); ?><a>" rel="shadowbox"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $thumb[0]; ?>&zc=1&w=625&h=400&q=100&a=c" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a> <?php } ?> <div class="entry clearfix"> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> <!-- <?php trackback_rdf(); ?> --> <p><a href="history.go(-1)"><span class="arrow_back">Back</span></a></p><div class="divider"></div> </div> <div id="comments"> <?php comments_template(); ?> </div> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php else : ?> <?php endif; ?> </div> <?php get_footer(); ?>
