  • You want two separate installs of WordPress then. The original being in the /onlineshop folder and the new one in the /gallery folder. You can copy the theme over if you want so that they appear seamless. Is that what you mean? But it’s not a ‘section’. It’s a whole other site.

    Now you can also link to them using a plugin or this handy hack:

    That’s not how I understood the documentation. If you set style=none, this just means it won’t be presented as an unordered list. Period. I could be wrong. It’s happened before. 🙂

    If you don’t want list styling, just edit your stylesheet to indicate

    list-style: none;

    That should just return a list like this:

    Text1
    Text2
    Text2

    In Tools, choose Export. That will export all your posts and pages and some of your other settings to an XML file.

    Then clean your site and you should be able to import that XML file back into a thoroughly cleaned blog. Need to follow the instructions found here for cleaning up a hacked blog:

    I lied. Go ahead and move the flash division to right under this:

    <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

    Then edit your CSS here:

    #flash {
    	background: url(images/xinswfborder.gif) no-repeat;
    	margin-left:0px; << edit this line.
    	margin-top:10px; << edit this line
    	padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    	height:120px;
    	width:455px;
    }

    You have the #flash division above the #content area. I think if you moved it inside the content area, that would push the #sidebar division up level with the top of the #content division. Try that. No need to adjust your CSS except to remove the 30px top margin from the #flash division.

    Huh?

    create another webpage for another section that should be under the mainpage

    Are you sure you aren’t making this more complicated than it has to be? What kind of “page” and “section” do you want? You might be able to just create a WordPress Page or set up a category to pull the data you want displayed in that other “section.”

    No problem. 🙂

    Did you fix it? It looks fine now.

    I’m getting ready to leave my office now. I will try to see what the deal is. I think it’s a matter of shifting some divs around. Thanks for all the screen shots and explanations. I was trying to visualize what you want to accomplish and you’ve done an immensely wonderful job conveying that. The container is, I believe, what is holding the background image, but it also keeps the entire panel centered. This is a very graphic intensive theme. So you’ll have to tread lightly.

    If you want the white panel underneath those nav tabs, create a new division called #wrap or #wrapper or #panel or something. Transfer the code from #container there. Then strip out the image info from the #container.

    Then go into your header and insert this:

    <div id="wrapper">
    right below the #nav division code.

    The tricky part will be to locate the closing </div> for the #container. Then put another closing </div> right before it for your newly created division. That *should* do it. I can tell more about it once I get in front of my own computer (we don’t have FF at the office). 🙂

    You don’t need to “upload” the XML file. You Export it to your hard drive and then Import it to your new WP blog from the WP dashboard. To do that, login to your new WP blog. From the dashboard, navigate to “Tools.” Choose Import. You will then be allowed to browse your hard drive for the *.xml file. WP will ask you if you want to import just selected authors or all authors. If an author existed on the old blog but does not exist on the new one, you have the option of creating that new author on the fly or dumping that author’s posts into an existing author of your choice.

    Check the box that asks if you want to import attachments, images and files. That should take care of it.

    Then double check to be sure your categories survived the import.

    Which browser are you using? Does this behavior persist in all of them (e.g., IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc., whichever ones you have available or are using)?

    I just cannot fathom a need for 15 different templates. Surely you can streamline this somehow.

    You should have downloaded the theme as a *.zip file. Then unpack it on your hard drive. Then fire up your FTP program and upload the theme’s folder (and subfolders) to your /wp-content/themes folder on your server. Make sure you go in and CHMOD the *.php and *.css files to 766 if you plan to edit them later from within the WP Dashboard.

    That *should* be all you have to do. Once the theme is uploaded, WP will recognize it and it will appear among the themes you can select under the Appearance box. Other than that, I’m not sure what’s going on.

    I can probably figure that out, but not without a link to the site in question so I can look at your CSS and source code using FireFox Developer tools. (You should grab them too, they are invaluable for this kind of troubleshooting.)

    WordPress operates on your server, but of course you can install LAMP on your computer and develop it all there and then upload it to your server when you are ready. Is that what you are asking?
