In reply to: How Do I Display A Specific Category of My Blog on a Separate Page?Thanks, I have tried that and it works to some extempt. There’s a field in the dashboard under “pages” that lets you add the URL of the category. However, my issue is that when I do that and I try to add STATIC text to the page, so people can at least know what the page is about, nothing shows up. It only shows up when I add it to the archive.php file, but obviously since I intend to add other categories as pages down the line this won’t do because I want different static text for different pages. How do I add static text to a specific category page?
Thanks!
I found the answer to my own question. There are two plug-ins you can used to solve this:
1) Page Lists Plus
This helps you tweak your menu through checking and unchecking different options that will allow you to make the parent item in your menu unclickable. I had problems with this at first, because when I tried to unlink the parent item, the whole menu got messed up (if you try you’ll know what I’m talking about). To prevent this, go to your dashboard (of course after you install the plugin), go to the section of your plugin and click on: Settings > Page Lists Plus , and then when you go to that page, in the Global Options section, check the boxes: Unlink Current Page; and Unlink using javascript (this disables links without removing anchor tags, which can affect styling);. After you do this, save your changes, go back to the dashboard, and in the same section of your plugin, uncheck the box under the section, “Link”, and you should be all set.

This actually creates an entire new menu. For more info on this, visit, http://weeatbricks.com/2008/01/07/new-wordpress-plugin-for-creating-a-drop-down-navigation-menu-using-jquery/3) This last option is not a plugin, but if you feel confident enough to tweak your php code, this page provides the code and instructions on how to alter the functions.php file that would enable you to have unclickable parent items in menus. The only thing is that the code works for drop down menus with three items or less. Here’s the site: http://bavotasan.com/tutorials/how-to-remove-the-links-to-parent-pages-in-the-wordpress-page-list/
I assume that I never got an answer because nobody knew what it was. Well, I hope this helps those who’ve been wondering and frustrated.

In reply to: how to remove the search box from inove themeJust to add, the header.php file DOES appear in the WordPress admin page, however, for some strange reason, the code for the searchbox doesn’t appear in the file. To view the code, just like Sheltron said, you have to view it through your ftp client, make the changes there through a text editor like Notepad, and upload it back to the server.
