No, I have not been successful yet. I am using debug mode, but it seems like all filters in functions.php are not executing. I may have some conflict with other Plugins so I am installing a clean site and trying to isolate the problem. * You can close this thread if you wish.

I went ahead and added a new form field to just test the taxonomy filter, and added the filter to functions.php. I tried showing only categories with parent ID = 75, but it continues to show the full list. Shown below is what I have for the filter, modified the same way as shown in the video. * Am I missing something, or is there a bug? * Doris * ``` add_filter( 'cf7sg_dynamic_select_taxonomy_query','ClassPrice_taxonomy_query',10,3); /** * Filter dropdown taxonomy query parameter. * (see https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_term_query/__construct/) * @param array $args array of taxonomy query attributes. * @param WPCF7_FormTag $tag the field being populated. * @param string $cf7_key the form unique key. * @return array of query attributes. */ function ClassPrice_taxonomy_query($args, $tag, $cf7_key){ //these are the label users will see when the dropdown opens. if('speaker-class-registration'!==$cf7_key || 'ClassPrice' !== $tag->name){ return $args; } //use only the child terms of a parent. $args['parent']=75; return $args; } ``` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Smart Grid-Layout Design for Contact Form 7] Post title instead of slug](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-instead-of-slug/) * Thread Starter [dreilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreilly/) * (@dreilly) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-title-instead-of-slug/#post-14843774) * I found the right filter and was successful in making it work.

I added the CSS, and it is better.

I even downloaded the breadcrumbs. php file with all the tutorial edits from theme that was linked to the tutorial and used that with my theme.

That is the best practice from what I can tell from numerous posts in this forum. Thanks for re-iterating that — it is much easier to manage that way. * Doris * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Can this website be recreated in WordPress?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-this-website-be-recreated-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [dreilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreilly/) * (@dreilly) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-this-website-be-recreated-in-wordpress/#post-2267506) * Where I am at so far is I have modified the twenty-eleven theme to customize the header and footer. Just that exercise gave me a good handle on WP, CSS, HTML and PHP. * So now I am ready to start building the pages, and where I got stuck as to how to approach the home page and prompted this question in the forum. I feel confident that I can build templates for the pages, and was just thinking adopting Thesis or Blueprint CSS might make that process easier and faster. * We are on a fast track to migrate the web site, since the contract with the current hosting solution expires end of Sept. Just looking for a crutch to meet that deadline. * I may just muscle ahead without a framework or grid, since as you say, it is a simple layout. * Doris * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Can this website be recreated in WordPress?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-this-website-be-recreated-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [dreilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreilly/) * (@dreilly) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-this-website-be-recreated-in-wordpress/#post-2267499) * vjpo, * I now declare you my mentor. * Thanks for the draft — that was in the lines of what I was thinking would be the best approach. The original css for the site is a nightmare. Like I said, it was generated from the web site builder service my friend was using, so it is css created by an automated process which is not good or even intended to be maintained manually. I have since talked to my friend and we will make that home page a bit simpler, which should save me some time in the short term. * The Blueprint CSS is enlightening. I will look into that deeper. Not sure if I need it on this project, but certainly an option for a new site. I have been looking seriously at a WP framework, likely Thesis or Genesis. Impressive, but another cost, while Blueprint CSS is free. I have no problem editing styles manually, but the structure of the grid system would offer great flexibility. Do you have an opinion of Thesis/Genesis vs a CSS framework? * Again, thanks for taking the time to help. * Doris * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Can this website be recreated in WordPress?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-this-website-be-recreated-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [dreilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreilly/) * (@dreilly) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-this-website-be-recreated-in-wordpress/#post-2267448) * vjpo, * I appreciate you taking the time to provide such good advice! Believe it or not, I have made great progress after a couple of intensive days modifying a child theme of the twenty-eleven template. I think I have a good understanding of how WP works, and have read through most of the links you indicated. I have a development background in database programming, but not web development. * My biggest hang-up right now if figuring out how to replicate the home page. It has a columnar-layout, and I just can’t seem to figure out the best way to approach it. It seems impossible to do it in the Visual Editor, even with the TinyMCE Advanced plugin. My latest thought is to create a custom CSS file for that layout, but have not tried it yet. I assume, once I have the CSS built, I can use the tags in the HTML window to apply the formatting. If you have any better suggestions, I certainly would welcome them 🙂 * Yes, the original website is very nice. It was built by my friend, with no development experience using a proprietary website builder. She had a major falling out when the service wanted to charge exorbitant sums for adding a second website. All she got was some html code exported from the system, with none of the e-commerce stuff working. I volunteered to migrate it to WP so she can edit/add content easily, and as a way for me to learn enough to build a second website for another facet of her business. I like a challenge 🙂 * Doris * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Can this website be recreated in WordPress?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-this-website-be-recreated-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [dreilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreilly/) * (@dreilly) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-this-website-be-recreated-in-wordpress/#post-2267383) * Thanks, vjpo * I will look deeper into the options you suggested. * Just to clarify your suggested path — by disabling the auto formatting, I should be able to place text and graphics on a page using html, and it won’t be clobbered by the extra tags that WP adds? * Is there a tool (free, preferably) that I can do WYSIWYG creation of the page layout HTML? * As you can tell, I am both new to WP and web programming. * Thanks for your help.
