In reply to: Adding .php calculatorsOk, so it appears that the insert php plugin would work, but I’m getting errors where it code for the calculators tries to call in other .php files, and a few other errors. I’m not sure if the plugins support multiple call-ins, or if that’s even possible. I haven’t tried making pages yet, but it looks like I may have to at least install all of these in my root directory.
It would be kind of nice if I could just create a few files and call them in like the pieces of the page like get_template_part, or if I could just put all the code in one page and have it work haha. I really don’t want to have to pay a programmer to do this, but it looks like i might have to.

In reply to: Adding .php calculatorsOk, thanks. Let me look into all of this, and see if I can’t make it work.

In reply to: Adding .php calculatorsThat might work, I’ll give it a try. Keep in mind that I’m not a programmer, and only taught myself how to mess with code to save money haha.
I think the theme won’t overwrite custom functions but i’m not sure.
I’ll let you know how/ if either of these solutions work, and I really appreciate the help so far!
Is there any specific location where I should upload the files? Should I put theme in my theme, wp-includes, wp-content, etc?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding .php calculatorsOh, sorry, i missed the bit about the child theme. i’m running Cherry Framework with a child theme already. Not sure if that matters.

In reply to: Adding .php calculatorsHaha, yes both i guess. I’m really just trying to make the site easy for people to use.
Rob, can you clarify a bit? I have a file folder of ready to go calculators, I just need to get them onto my site, and working/ useable. Or were you referring to finding a plugin to make them work?
Josh, would it be possible to insert each calculator into a page, and just have each one be a unique template? Here’s a link to how they should look/ work.

In reply to: Adding .php calculatorsGood question! I would like to have one calculator per page, but I will include links to the other calculators on the page, or use a menu to link to the others.

In reply to: Plugin overrides my nav menu. Would like it not to.Yeh, I’ve seen that, and that’s exactly what I’m looking to fix. Is there anyway to specify the menu items a particular page is supposed to have? Like can I specify menu item 2294, 2282, etc?

In reply to: Plugin overrides my nav menu. Would like it not to.Yes because if I change anything in the static-nav.php file, it affects both, and according to my page structure, both use the same template parts. Also, I’m just going by what i was told by the plugin company regarding the page being generated as a post, since I don’t have access to the code, I can’t be sure how they’re built.

In reply to: Plugin overrides my nav menu. Would like it not to.Sorry, for the delay, I had an appointment. What I mean by database is this: It appears that word press stores specifically created menus in the database, and those are what actually indicate what should appear/ display in the menu. I guess what I’m thinking is that if I can specify which menu that is stored in the database a page should use, it will show on any page that it is asked to. (hope that makes sense)
I am trying to show the same menu on all of my pages. Look at the links I provided in my original post. On the first one, note how the header menu says: home, tools & information, about, news, contact.
In the second link, that menu (and every other menu on the page) has bee replaced by the address. I am looking for all of my pages to have the same menu as the first one.

In reply to: Plugin overrides my nav menu. Would like it not to.You’re the closest I’ve come to actual help in about 4 days of messing with this, so sorry if I come off as a bit snappy. Basically, this plugin I have is outputting something that my main pages don’t, or don’t use. It causes my navigation to disappear and be replaced by a single link. I have only found the tech support for the plugin as well as my theme to just point fingers at each other. It’s both of their fault (and neither depending on how you look at it), but either way I am stuck with something that doesn’t work quite right, and no help to boot. I am not a web designer, I am a real estate agent, so what little i know about this is from just messing with it.
I have found that there seems to be a hangup resulting from the plugin posting the property address’s as a post title. obviously this confuses my theme, and there is no way that I can shut this off in the plugin. So, I am left to either tell the theme/ wordpress to only use one part of the database to build menus (which you told me I can’t do), or I have to tell my menus to ignore the post title. I’m pretty sure that if I can tell it to ignore the post title, it will work correctly. I hope that makes sense.

In reply to: Plugin overrides my nav menu. Would like it not to.Ok, then which menus use a post title attribute?

In reply to: Plugin overrides my nav menu. Would like it not to.Out of curiosity, can you make menus ignore post_title?

In reply to: Plugin overrides my nav menu. Would like it not to.Ok, well I’ll try to contact the developer I guess.

In reply to: Plugin overrides my nav menu. Would like it not to.Ok, forget about the theme. Do you know a way to tell a menu to only use a specific part of the database?
