Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can WordPress do repeating sections on one page?Thanks Scott – I really do want to stick with my plan to use WordPress for so many reasons – including the ones you mention. It just seems that this particular aspect should be part of the core functionality. I’m not mad about relying on a free plugin that may disappear one day or become out of date and no longer be supported.
On the other hand I do love the fact that it’s got a huge community and loads of useful plugins.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can WordPress do repeating sections on one page?Thanks – that looks fantastic. I love WordPress and Pods looks great – so this is not a criticism of either – but I do wonder if I should be looking at another CMS if it’s so complicated to set this up in WordPress. I would say this type of custom record type is a fairly basic requirement for a proper CMS and maybe WordPress is still a long way from being a “proper” CMS.
so, i guess this is not an easy thing to do in wordpress? can anyone help?
hi, thanks for you reply. i’ve tried that and unfortunately it doesn’t work. it will display 6 posts on the first page. then it will display 5 posts on the second and subsequent pages. that sounds great until you realise that post number 6 is displayed on both page 1 and page 2. the reason is that when you get to page 2, the system has been told that there are 5 posts per page. it therefore assumes that 5 posts have already been displayed on page 1. however, as we know, 6 posts have been displayed on page 1. so, there is no continuity between page 1 and page 2. in other words, page 2 doesn’t know what page 1 has done.
this is driving me crazy! anyone else got any suggestions for me?
thanks!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: What template does page 2 of categories use?thanks for letting me know. that’s what i thought but i couldn’t figure out why page 2 was looking different to page 1. i now realise that i made a stupid mistake. the link to my stylesheet was relative and therefore the link was breaking when i browsed to page 2 (it’s deeper in the folder structure with my permalink setup). as soon as i made all links root relative, the problem was solved. hope this helps anyone else who might be as stupid as me!
