Update: Having read more on conditionals and since found another post, I tried

<?php if ( ! is_page('notes') && !is_paged())

 {echo '<p>[message for first page]</p>';
}
else
{echo '[message for subsequent pages]';
}
?>

It seems to work and as the sky hasn’t yet fallen-in on me I’ll hope it’s ok.

Thanks.

Still learning about template hierarchy, I’m reluctant to edit the index template because it’s used as a fallback for other pages.

Thanks.

My reason for ‘that doesn’t seem to enable a change to the title’ is because it’s using the standard header – which in the theme I’m using is <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php wp_title(''); ?><?php if(wp_title('', false))?></title> – and I don’t understand enough to see how the info in that article would make the required changes.

I’m keen to learn more about this, and will be grateful for any advice.

And my reason for ‘configged in the core files’ is that searching the WP files shows the only instance of the phrase to be in general-template.php – it doesn’t appear anywhere else nor in the theme templates.

Esmi’s code delivered a syntax error, but I then adapted it to <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php if (is_404()) {_e('file not available'); } else {wp_title('');} ?></title> – which seems to work ok, but as I’m waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond my knowledge here hopefully someone will tell me if it creates other problems.

David, thanks very much. That’s really appreciated.

It’s helped me to better understand WP.

The particular theme is an adapted variant of ‘Fresh and clean’, and following your template suggestions things are now as I want.

My reason was to tidy the code, although I can now see how I can use this conditionally should the need arise.

Thanks.

Thanks.

>go to settings -> media and set your thumbnail sizes.

But doesn’t that simply set the size to which they’re cropped? And from my knowledge of html, I’m confused that th esize set in the source isn’t the size at which they’re displayed.
