I then replaced the “7” with $post_ID – This will ensure that you always have the right page ID. Seems to be working now with only one template. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [About Us Summary in the Sidebar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-us-summary-in-the-sidebar/) * Thread Starter [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [18 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/about-us-summary-in-the-sidebar/#post-552326) * Anyone? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Advice and Tips on WordPress as CMS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/advice-and-tips-on-wordpress-as-cms/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/advice-and-tips-on-wordpress-as-cms/#post-455577) * When doing a search for such a topic, everyone tends to say, “sure it can be done” but that is as far as it gets. Any real advice available possibly from those who have done simular things? Not to rag on WP here, especially because a CMS is not what it was intended for, but if your looking to try another solution… I would suggest Expression Engine. You can do this, out of the box sort of speak, in about 5 minutes…. no “loop” no “plugins” no hours on forums and messing with PHP. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [WordPress as a CMS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-as-a-cms-1/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-as-a-cms-1/#post-461819) * I can not seem to view the site you posted but I have hoping to this for the last few weeks and having been going nuts trying to figure it out.

Not really sure how to, but I suppose if can be done. Like can I edit the homepage sections to display ONLY certain categories and not others? Possibly having the actual BLOG page disregard any display of NEWS posts and vise versa? * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [A Gallery vs Photolog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-gallery-vs-photolog/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-gallery-vs-photolog/#post-24364) * Great we all agree but still there is no solid WP photo gallery or even photo managment system. Right now I am in a bind. I always recommended WP but more and more clients and friends want a way to post photos and galleries. The Flickr thing is nice, but why host photos with some other service when you have a domain, directories, and space to do it yourself. Sure sure… tags and all that… the majority of people I deal with (including myself) can careless about such. I have no need to tag my lunch “peanut butter sandwich” and share it with the world. I much rather present it on my site, on my server, …etc. But enough about Flickr- please continue… what is everyone else using? Can we see some real world examples? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [From the creator of “Best WordPress Design”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-the-creator-of-best-wordpress-design/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-the-creator-of-best-wordpress-design/#post-215207) * Ah, all you need is the foundation (like Kubrick) – looks good overall… Here is my personal tweak on the same template (although tweaked to a point of non resemblance) * [http://www.budgetgallery.org/la/wp/](http://www.budgetgallery.org/la/wp/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [new plugin: multiple random images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-multiple-random-images/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-multiple-random-images/#post-193031) * Funny- this is exactly what I am looking for- the last plugin I had repeats images on the same load. Now, if only I can randomize descriptions of the images to. Trying to use it for a “random artist” thing- where each image also needs to displaythe name of the artist who created it. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Static pages that keep the theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/static-pages-that-keep-the-theme/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/static-pages-that-keep-the-theme/#post-196446) * I did use “home.php” but when viewing that page, if you click the link that goes to “index.php” all it does is refesh the “home.php” page- so you can not offically get to the blogging area. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [What do you think of Kubrick 2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-do-you-think-of-kubrick-2/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-do-you-think-of-kubrick-2/page/2/#post-179039) * nice functionality! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [What do you think of Kubrick 2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-do-you-think-of-kubrick-2/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-do-you-think-of-kubrick-2/page/2/#post-179037) * No offense but it looks like a plain old default blog theme, better than the first but equally as boring. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Static pages that keep the theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/static-pages-that-keep-the-theme/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/static-pages-that-keep-the-theme/#post-196431) * I posted this a few times now over the last couple days on different threads without a clear answer (clear to me anyway). I NEED my front page to be a WP “ page” and the news link I created to reference the “index.php” blog area. I tried Ryan’s code and the semi-static plug in but after I get the frontpage to display the link to the “index.php” just refreshes the “page.php” and does not redirect. Can someone PLEASE help me understand this- it is vital for the finishing of the website. * thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Simple PHP Gallery and Iimage Gallery Playing Together](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-php-gallery-and-iimage-gallery-playing-together/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-php-gallery-and-iimage-gallery-playing-together/#post-189469) * Gallery is a bit bloated for my taste- iimage gallery is the closest thing I need but still not exactly what I need. What would be ideal is a small interface, an upload button, the ability to upload a series of images instead of one at a time, the click “create gallery” – and done. All galleries are separated by name and have a unified appearance. Of course a “next” and “previous” button is important (one thing that is missing from iimage gallery). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Simple PHP Gallery and Iimage Gallery Playing Together](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-php-gallery-and-iimage-gallery-playing-together/) * [killputer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/killputer/) * (@killputer) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-php-gallery-and-iimage-gallery-playing-together/#post-189467) * I have a simular problem- iimage gallery creates a pure BLACK space for the thumbnail but doe not reveal it- if I click the BLACK space I get the fullsize image.
