In reply to: How to add blank lines in a post/pageThere are plugins to remove wordpress formatting. Or perhaps turning off the wsiwyg editor under users/your profile.
How about using a small heading like an
<h4>to separate the different bits? Easy to do and good for viewer scanning.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: current_page_item in wp_list_pages not working rightI don’t know what your code means, but it looks like it’s replacing stuff so that the li no longer has the class, the a does. Have you tried
a.current_page_item {color:#000;} a.current_page_item:hover {color:#000;}I’m not certain the hover code is correct here

In reply to: Set Static Page LengthYou could do a custom template, then assign this page to use it. Put in a blank
<div>with the same dimensions of the sidebar. I’m not sure that a page limit is what you really want — what if you have more images in the future? If this is what you want — just give the<div>of the content a css declaration of height:whateverForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Underliningan easier way is probably to apply a
<span>to the text, then add css styling to the span. Or add bold to the css style of the underline, or add an underline to the css styling of the bold. This does not of course address the issue of using an underline on text that is not a link…Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: how can this php have formatting applied?Cool! The second one works. Will mark as resolved.
Question though:
it looks like this is echoing to fill in the<p>tag, the getting the title, then echoing the</p>. What does the “.” do?thanks for the quick response too.

In reply to: query posts — formatting issue on pageThis seems to be working:
<?php if (is_page('our-team')) { ?> <?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?> <?php query_posts('cat=12'); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3> <p><?php the_content(); ?></p> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php } ?>I believe the first two and last two lines are saying “if this is the our team page, do this stuff”
The stuff in the middle is a temporary query, which doesn’t affect the main page content (ie no doubling of “the_content”, but two distinct contents). the endwhile is saying my temporary query is finished.If my above translation is incorrect please say so, I’m trying to learn.
FYI — this code goes after the closing of the loop on the page.

In reply to: Modifying the titleWhere you edited the php code (in the template file) just replace the
»with the bar|symbol.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Help on making a mixed static page and photo blogHave you tried the new gallery feature? When you write a post, you can add the media using the new image uploader. Once all your photos are there, select “insert gallery in post” and ta-da, instant gallery. It will automatically show a thumbnail, which can then be clicked to open a new page. Lots of options for title, description, etc.
The gallery look can be modified, but that gets a little trickier. Not hard though.

In reply to: personal commentsSo each person can see comments made by themselves? I suppose that you could then set it up to show comments by persons x, y and z if you had a team?
I haven’t used comments yet, would you mind sharing your code for the if statement?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Header Image HotspotsI suspect the url for the image isn’t correct. Try this:
<img border=”0″ src=”<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/banner.jpg” width=”950″ height=”245″ usemap=”#FPMap0″></p>
Super easy. In admin, first write a page you want to be the home page (make sure to write a “page” not a “post”). Go to “settings” and choose the “reading” tab. There select “front page displays a static page” and choose the page you just created.
Voila!

In reply to: combining php tags, can it work?Learning by trial and error works better with a guide. Thanks macbrink! Works great!
*future reference – small typo in the code above after a tag —
<?php if (is_page('my_page')) { ?> <ul> <?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('category=4'); foreach($myposts as $post) : ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> <?php } ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I cannot find the error in this if-else statementI’ve been using this, and has been working well:
<?php if (is_page('my-page')) : ?> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/auto.jpg" alt="test image" /> <?php else : ?> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/generic.jpg" alt="image" /> <?php endif; ?>(I’ve shortened a bit so hope nothing important got deleted)
Two differences:
– space before the closing of the image tag/>
– slightly different php with no “echo”NOT a php coder but like I said this has been working for me
Or perhaps take quotes of comment about use “blog” image?

In reply to: stylesheet question – overwrite body tagAre you using the html edit box? It should work in there. the easiest way then would be within the a tag:
<a href="whateverlink" style="color:#ff0000;">link text</a>these are inline css style tags

In reply to: Create a floating sidebarIf the above doesn’t work in ie, it’s likely a known browser issue. Position is everything is usually very helpful in fixing these:
