Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: XHTML Validationthought this was resolved until i saw that none of the ads, apart from the one in question, are now showing on my site.
But seeing my site without the ads made me think it looks better without. But a few here and there wouldn’t do any harm, so…
any other solutions to this? keeping valid XHTML, and displaying other ads?
thanks guys

In reply to: How do I get the sidebar on the post viewing page?ok, hopefully this should work.
You are using the K2 theme, which when viewing a page, has a content class of narrowcolumn, but when viewing a post has widecolumn. So why your sidebar is either above or below the post is cause there isnt enough width.
If you open single.php and look at this line at the top
<div id="content" class="widecolumn">, replace widecolumn with narrowcolumn.<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">is how it should now be in single.php too.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problems with sidebar, help?.topgrad is listed in your header, its hard coded in, as opposed to in your css file
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fingerboardpt.com/wp-content/themes/soccer-10/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="FingerboardPT.com - Portal Nacional de Fingerboard RSS Feed" href="http://fingerboardpt.com/?feed=rss2" /> <link rel="pingback" href="http://fingerboardpt.com/xmlrpc.php" /> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> * html .topgrad img {left:-568px;} .botgrad { background: url("http://fingerboardpt.com/wp-content/themes/soccer-10/images/pagebg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none;z-index: 1;position:relative;} .topgrad img {left:0px;top:0px;position:absolute;z-index:0} .topgrad * {position:relative;} </style> <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://fingerboardpt.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: WordPress for non-blog webpages?it varies, my site is completely wordpress, so the homepage is a wordpress ‘Page’, and from that you are straight into wordpress proper. Others have a standard html homepage, and then run the wordpress bit at domain.com/blog, domain.com/blog/about etc.
not sure if that is what you were really asking or not, but its the answer i thought i should give 🙂

In reply to: wp_list_pages() questionmaybe the child_of parameter might help…
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: wp_list_pages() questionmaybe something like…
if(get_the_title($post->post_parent) != the_title(‘ ‘ , ‘ ‘,false)) { echo wp_list_pages(‘depth=-1’); }its a bit of a guess though, and probably wrong, but hopefully a pointer.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: wp_list_pages() questionnot entirely sure of the code, but look at conditional tags and querying the title.
so you get the page title, and output wp_list_page but in the () put to only display child pages of the title you are on.

In reply to: Problems with sidebar, help?ok, i see it now, but there are no style rules associated with gps. so it is using .topgrad img.
Ive come up with one solution you could use though.
find .topgrad img in your css and delete
position:absolute;you also have .topgrad with
position:relative;so this takes over. and other images in your posts are not affected.the other option is to create a style for #gps, and have its position as relative, not absolute.

In reply to: Problems with sidebar, help?1 – if you assign the globe a unique id, then copy the css for your .topgrad img, but change its position to relative, not absolute. you need the unique id so that other images with .topgrad img aren’t affected. 2 – cant diagnose cause there arent any there at the moment, but im sure it’ll be a css issue again.

In reply to: Is there a plugin for this?i know its not exactly what you want, but i happened to be reading it earlier.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates#Custom_Category_Page_Text
there are plugins that do what you want too, a google search about the subject will find them.maybe look at using sticky posts, so a post will always be at the top. here’s one: http://blog.vishalon.net/Post/88.aspx

In reply to: New theme and blog….suggestions?i like it, one thing though is the white at the very bottom, i’d prefer it if the footer was just the blue and black…
it just reminds me of when you get the divs wrong and something comes after the footer.what sort of plugins were you looking for…pro doesnt really describe it!! Newsletter sign up? e-commerce?

In reply to: How do I get the sidebar on the post viewing page?hmmm, not sure why that doesn’t work.
I know its simple, but ive made these mistakes before…
Are you editing the right theme?
Making sure you save properly?
Refreshing your browser?if we see a link to your site it might help to diagnose.
it might be that you don’t have a conventional sidebar.php, and need a different call. I presume though that you use get_sidebar in index.php?

In reply to: List posts from twp specific category in sidebar.phpdo you not still need
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>? try usingcategory_name=...instead ofcat, and using its name.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: WordPress for non-blog webpages?Yeah, a lot of people do it. A quick search in the forum for CMS will bring you topics with people linking to their own non-blog-blog.
I have one myself, i rarely post in the traditional way, but when i do its just as a kind of announcement, and i have removed all ability to comment from my site, its not needed for me.
The great thing is all the functionality you can still have, with plugins etc, and to edit your site’s layout requires editing one or two files, instead of loads and loads of html pages.
