In reply to: 2 text boxes for entry ? Problem and resolutionI don’t think WordPress is the answer to your problems. Have you tried running some of the HelpDesk scripts? They are created specifically for this purpose. Most of these are available via the Fantastico installer if your hosting account uses cPanel. Here is just a sample; my host’s Fantastico installer has eight different “customer relations” scripts such as these:

In reply to: Dynamic Sidebar formattingOne more real important thing, having nothing to do with your current problem, but I thought you’d want to know.
On your banner, it should be

In reply to: Dynamic Sidebar formattingYou need to enclose it in an Unordered list tag. Make the edits I indicate and it will be okay:
Find this code and add the part in brackets (not the brackets themselves):<div id="sidebar"> [<ul>] <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>And this, toward the bottom:
</ul> --> <?php endif; ?> [</ul>] </div>Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: I have created a Theme , Please Help me pleaseWell if you have a “big problem with it” it’s not “running perfectl fine” now, is it? 😉
Some plugins don’t come with their own CSS styles. It’s generally up to you to style the plugin output as you see fit. That’s not a shortcoming with the plugin, although the harshest among us might call it laziness on the part of the plugin author. But I’m a hands-on kinda gal myself and quite a control freak. Just add the plugin styles to your theme’s stylesheet. I do it all the time.
If it really bothers you, tho, drop a note to the plugin authors and request that they add generic styles to their plugin. But bear in mind that most plugin authors labor in vain and without any recognition, much less remuneration. So that request will probably go straight to the bottom of their respective to-do lists.

In reply to: Navigation with pages sorted in categoriesThis may sound like a stupid question, but I ask it because I’ve gone off on a tangent and done this exact thing… Did you activate the plugin?

In reply to: Can’t replace the bannerWell, Kubrick isn’t a noob friendly theme and it does the one thing that I think should be verboten and that is scatter code all over the place. Style and content are NOT separated as they should be. So for novices, this isn’t the best theme to cut one’s teeth on.
@sixfigga, have you seen Owen Winkler’s KubrickR? It lets you browse royalty free (but read the licenses for use of any image you are considering) FlickR photos and cuts them to create a nice header suitable for the Kubrick theme:

In reply to: Dynamic Sidebar formattingThis .. is in your source code:
<h2 class="widgettitle">Are you using widgets? I see that the h2 is styled on the sidebar natively (for the case when you are NOT using widgets).
So in your stylesheet, find this or something very similar (you may have to add it because I didn’t see it amongst the CSS you posted earlier):
#sidebar ul li h2 { list-style-type: none; }If it’s not (and I suspect it’s not), then go ahead and add it. Then it should be fine.
The reason I asked for your sidebar code was because when I viewed the source code the first time, I didn’t see the
<h2 class="widgettitle">code. I think I didn’t have the “wrap” turned on in Notepad. I apologize.But make that fix and you should be a-okay.

In reply to: Dynamic Sidebar formattingThose are actually titles and they should be h2 or h3. And that’s what most sidebars and widget codes honor. Can you do me a favor? Go into your sidebar.php file and post the code that’s there.
I’ll then post the fix to make those titles actual Hx titles so you won’t have the bullets. You’ll need to alter your sidebar code and drop a style in the stylesheet.
This way, you can use the widgets without worrying about styling.

In reply to: Where do i add HTML code?!Look under Design > Theme Editor > choose the theme you want to edit (it should default to the active theme). Look wherever your nav bar is. Since you didn’t provide a link, I will assume it’s either in sidebar.php or header.php.

In reply to: Newbie QuestionYou can kind of strong arm it. But before I go further I want to understand the nature of your “posts.” Will these be changing, chronological items? Or static pages?
If they are going to be static pages? In other words, to use you example, if the actual content of posts “1a 2a 3a 4a 5a” will be static and unchanging, just create a WP Page and put that content in there.
If however, you do want each individual post “1a 2a 3a 4a 5a” to appear in some kind of order within a page, then there is a fix. It’s not elegant but it can be done.
However, I want to know the nature of your content to make sure you’re using WP the way it is intended, will make life much easier for you in the long run. Make sense? 🙂

In reply to: Dynamic Sidebar formattingThat php function calls widgets into play. This simply means your theme is widget-ready (or “widgetized”). And you DO NOT edit your theme templates to alter their appearance or styling. That is what the stylesheet (style.css) is for. Most themes already have the list-style-type set to none. And most widgets honor that.
In any event, the style.css file is where you’ll want to make those changes.
A link to the site at issue would be nice, tho.

In reply to: Ready to give upGreat explanation Otto. I like to think of it as a sandwich. The header.php file is the top piece of bread, the footer.php file is the bottom piece of bread, the sidebar.php file is the slice of cheese and the index.php file is all the other stuff in the middle that makes it taste good. 😉 You just build your sandwich and enjoy. 🙂
