I don’t know whether or not to cheer or pity you. Wow. You did it. Amazing.

BE VERY careful using Word as it changes all the quotes and apostrophes into characters and does other harmful things. I would have used WordPerfect’s MUCH better search and replace functions, but then I’ve tweaked out and customized WordPerfect to allow me to do code, but I do NOT recommend it.

Check everything thorughly and let us know in a week or two is all of this works out. That’s an amazing amount of work. And thanks for sharing it with us.

Okay, just for clarity I want to understand what you are asking.

Do you want to change your permalink structure so that your categorized posts would read something like this:

/example.com/apples/red-round-fruit/

Or do you want to create subdomain and have your categorized posts go to those like this:

/apples.example.com/red-round-fruit/

All can be controlled with very complex htaccess rewrites and redirects. But maybe some clarity on what you want will help us point you in the right direction.

First, the method of doing is based upon an important question. Do you want a specific banner image for a specific Day of the Week (like it says “Thursday” on the Thursday banner), or are you just happy rotating your 7 banners randomly per day?

You are talking about changing the CSS when all that needs to be changed is the header image, right? Keep the banners about the same shape and size and the CSS will take care of itself. You just want to change the image. Please clarify this if it is wrong.

The random rotating script mentioned up above involve putting the images in their own folder along with the script. Instead of linking to an image, you link to the script like this:

<img src="/images/header/rotator.php" alt="blah" title="blah" />

Then the images in the /images/header/` folder would just randomly generate WITH EVERY PAGE VIEW. Not by date. I use it on my site – just click my name here and go to any post and then refresh the screen and you will see the photograph in the sidebar change.

There is a LOT more information on this in the article on WordPress headers at:

Your issue is the “by day” not by refresh. There are a TON of similar scripts at any of the following spots that will do what you want. You should be able to use them like the one mentioned above.

http://php.resourceindex.com/

If the only change you are making is with the CSS, you have a different problem. But if the only change you want is with the graphic, then you use this information.

Have you been through this article:

Creating Multiple Single Posts for Different Categories

And the answer to all your questions is YES.

It’s Russian. Cute.

Okay, not funny for you.

In your index.php and/or single.php template files, search for this:

<div class="meta">

After that you will see a bunch of character codes. They are the letter equivalent of Russian alphabet. Categories look like “Категория: ” on the screen but in the code they look like this:

Категория:

followed by the link to the article and it’s title. Delete those characters and replace them with whatever you want it to say, which normally should be “Categories:”.

For the “Коментари”, look under the feedback class that looks like this:

<div class="feedback" align="right">

And you will see a link to the article’s comments and the same bunch of character codes as above. Carefully change those to “Comments” in English.

And welcome to the world of bilingual WordPress Themes. It’s actually charming. BUT annoying, I know. 😉

Oh, this is wonderful!!!! Something I’ve been wanting for ages.

So this isn’t a plugin but will be a change to the template files? Wow. Very awesome.

Can you add more than one post to a couple of the demo categories so we can get a better feel for how more than one post would fit under a category?

And would this display only the most recent posts on the index.php page, leaving out “archived” posts? So if WP is set to display 10 posts chronologically, it would now display 10 posts, chronologically but by category?

Also, make sure you following the instructions on “localizing” WordPress so that it will tell the browser which language your text is in:
