Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: uhmm How can I use a template I made onto WordPress?I think that article has good intentions but is very misleading. WordPress is built on PHP and the template tags are function calls to PHP. Matt even says it himself in the comment section:
“You’re right they are PHP functions, but they are used as template tags. It does take time to learn, but it’s not PHP. Well, technically it is, but it’s also the way the WP Template Tags work. So I would say it’s not learning PHP, it’s learning the WP Template syntax. That’s why I say it’s not PHP.”
Lerning the very basic syntax of PHP is neccessary in customizing any template. With that said, once one is comfortable with basic PHP syntax, customising a template can be very simple.
I think this article by Matt should be read in conjuction with the one Moshu has linked to.

In reply to: uhmm How can I use a template I made onto WordPress?Not laughing at all. Just trying to get you the help you need. I just don’t think your going to be able to get the kind of tutorial you’ll need on these forums. Some of your needs are a little more in-depth and I think that book might get you where you want a lot faster. But don’t get me wrong, it never hurts to ask.
In my experience, switching to WordPress from a basic table driven, non-css, static site posed a pretty high learning curve. If I had that book to start off with, I could have probably squeezed a couple of months into a week or so.

In reply to: uhmm How can I use a template I made onto WordPress?From all of the threads you’ve started today, I think you’re needing a little more help than these forums were designed for. More knowledge of css, xhtml and php will really help you get the most out of these forums. Here’s a good book that can do much to get you to this point.

In reply to: Why are my posts disappearing from my site?Your problem is in index.php. All of your markup is there but an incorrectly closed tag is hiding all of the content. The tag is
<noscript />. It should be</noscript>. Fix that and you should be good.Forum: Plugins

Forum: Plugins
In reply to: plugin to post topic by anyoneSo users could make a post, publish it on your site and then anyone could leave comments? Sounds like you just need to let users register for your blog and set their permissions accordingly. Am I understanding you correctly?

In reply to: Adding Categories only as adminThis plugin should do the trick.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Making Sidebars in Blix PagesStudy the index.php page very closely. You’ll need to set up the same environment in page.php to get what you need.
The only solution I could think of would be to have a category for such posts and then use a specific category-#.php (# = the id of the specific cat) file to show them where you adjust
<?php the_time('F j, Y') ?> <?php _e('at'); ?>by taking out the “F j,” part to leave only the year.This describes how to make a category template.

This is only half the battle though. Then you’ll need this great plugin so you can define a “single-cat-#.php file” for when your view a single post in the category. Once again, you’ll need to make the same edits as above.

This may be a long way around, but it will get you there.
