Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: theme/functions.php produces plugins activation errorUTF-8 files include characters at the beginning of them called the “BOM”, which is short for Byte Order Marker. Not all editors put the BOM there, but some do. And PHP is not happy about it being there.
Use ascii mode when editing PHP files.
Thanks! Exactly the problem I was having when trying to widgetize my theme!

In reply to: Pages that get posts from categoriesxanderyen13, two things spring to mind.
1) set up a custom category page for each of your categories (comics and blog). [e.g. category-9.php — look up template hierarchy]
2) set up a page template and use it to display only a particular category using <?php query_posts(); ?>
Cheers.

In reply to: Pages including pages as sub sections?Or also this plugin: http://aralbalkan.com/wordpress
These both work great if you want to show a sub-page on a page.
I however, on my page want to show a sub-page, and then on that sub-page, show sub-sub-pages. eg.
CV [page]
Work Experience [sub page]
Job 1 [sub sub page]
Job 2 [sub sub page]and those plugins don’t work in this case 🙁

Does anyone have a quick and dirty ‘loop’ that will do a similar thing??

In reply to: Multiple Loops (yet again!)Cheers HandySolo.. I think the Asides code is what I was after, and it looks to be working now.
No live page yet, so no link.. had considered permalink problems, and set them to default already…
Thanks as always!

In reply to: Latest Posts (of a specific category) on a Static Front Page?Well, here’s the reason Big Square Blog gives for writing a custom query:
Last week I brought to you a post on how to add a WordPress Mini-Loop to your static front page. I didn’t realize it at the time, but after some thought, I must say that there were some serious problems with that solution. For starters, the static front page of Big Square Dot was running noticeably slower after implementing the Mini-Loop. Secondly, and most importantly, I could not use the WP-Cache plugin with the above code.
I’ve done a quick test of cam_oai‘s loop and I think it will work great with a bit of tweaking the CSS. Cheers.

In reply to: static homepage with latest post sectionSivar, thanks. But I tried what you suggest, and pasted your code (amending the category numbers) into my static page template – which resulted in no output.. no error message, but also nothing posted.
I’m thinking you have to do something a bit more complicated than a basic loop with a template static page…?

In reply to: static homepage with latest post sectionGreat, this was just the question I’m looking for an answer to. Thanks for the tips about plugins — but, just curious, is there a way to do this on your static front page with the WordPress loop or similar?
