Regarding home page / slider situation:
1. What theme are you using?
2. If the slider is a plugin (i.e., not included as part of your theme) then what slider plugin are you using?
3. Can you provide a link to your site yet?

Thanks,
Paul

Greetings,

First, when pasting that much code in the future, please use Pastebin. This is mentioned in the forum guidelines, because it keeps your code from goofing things up.

That said…
I understand you want:
http://mysite.com/my-product-name/
But what you are getting is:
http://mysite.com/custom-post-type-slug/my-product-name/

That is the way it works, and you would be ill-advised to mess with this permalink structure. You are not alone — I understand your desire for this functionality — but it’s still not the way custom post types work.

If you must have:
http://mysite.com/my-product-name/
then perhaps your products should be standard WordPress Pages, and you can add some taxonomy to define what type of products they are.

Good luck,
Paul

There are various ways of doing this, but the first that comes to mind is to get a license to Gravity Forms plugin. Yes, it costs a little money, but:

1. It is easy to use and do what you’re wanting here.
2. Gravity Forms support can help you get over any bumps.
3. You will save yourself a lot of time by just getting a solution like this that works out of the box.

Good luck.
Paul

Richieb, you’re very close. Some of what you had above was just example from the link I sent. Replace the 3 lines you just gave me above with the following:

<?php
if ( have_posts() ) :
    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts($query_string . "&cat=-4&paged=$paged");
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>

Let me know if it works.
Regards,
Paul

Excela6, are you saying you just do not want any commenting to occur on your site?

If that is what you are asking:
1. Go to Settings > Discussion
2. Turn off commenting there

If that is not what you are asking, then please elaborate.

Take care,
Paul

Howdy,

I’m thinking your posts do not have specific excerpts added to them, and you want excerpts automatically generated from your post content?

You need to either:
1. Add specific excerpts to your posts.
or
2. Ask the plugin author to alter the plugin to auto generate excerpts.

It’s not hard using the_excerpt(), but that needs to be in a proper loop, as it works on the current post. This plugin isn’t creating a proper posts loop, or you could just change a few lines.

Good luck,
Paul

Howdy,

That’s unfortunate that “Oxygen” doesn’t support the Navigation menus functionality — Oxygen looks nice.

Not sure if you’re up for it, but adding navigation menus to a theme isn’t too hard.

Also do google search on “how to add navigation menus to your wordpress theme” and some sites will walk you through it.

Good luck,

This is a shot in the dark, as I have not seen this exact behavior. I have seen similar behavior, in that clicking an image in a post in the editor will place its edit / delete link icons totally outside the editor UNLESS I click inside the editor before clicking anything else.

To explain… it’s like when I click in the editor it says “OH! That’s what I should be paying attention to.”

So, before creating gallery, make sure you have clicked in the content area and see what happens.

Just a guess…
Good luck,
Paul
