In reply to: Problems with ''pages' on dashboardThis happened to me once when a theme was using a generic variable like
$name. I had to change the variable name to$themenameto fix it.Not sure if this is the same problem you’re having though.

In reply to: WP login sends me to front page instead of DashboardThis normally happens to me if I have odd settings for blog url and site url options. Have you changed them recently?

In reply to: Is this possible to do…Here is a basic tutorial where you can actually try it yourself online.
You’ll notice you can move the header anywhere, even over the content.
It works the same with images and videos.
You could also do it with a container with a background image then inside this container have your video which is aligned in the center, or center it out with padding.

In reply to: Custom post types and relationsYou could create a custom write panel with a dropdown box with all movies listed inside it. This way you could create a relation between the two and have them do whatever.
You will need someone with coding knowledge though.

In reply to: Sorry, we can't find the content you're looking…What page are you getting this message from? Is it a post? or perhaps a category page which isn’t there?
If it is from a post then the message to customise is probably within single.php after an else statement.

In reply to: Is this possible to do…Yes it is possible.
You’ll need to play with the
position:absolute;property and thez-indexproperty.Absolute positioning allows you to overlap elements without disrupting other elements positioning. z-index allows you to place it infront or behind, you’ll need to practise with this as it has different effects in older browsers such as IE6.

In reply to: Using post meta in wp_nav_menunav-menu.php goes straight over my head, way too advanced for me to understand.
Is anyone able to give me an example of how I could acomplish this?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Using post meta in wp_nav_menuWell the wp_nav_menu is not within the loop so how would I get the ID for each menu item that is generated and then use it to get_post_meta?
Even if I created a loop, how would I matcch a menu item with the correct ID?
It seems like I would have to create a new SQL query but have no idea how to with the new menu system…

In reply to: custom menu not workingHello,
First of all, take away your ‘ul’ tags. WordPress generates these automatically.
Within your header.php change what you have to the following:
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('theme_location' => 'topnavmenu')); ?>Next, go to appearance > menus and create a menu then save it. Then in the top left corner assign the newly created menu to the ‘topnavmenu’.
This should then display.

In reply to: Posts and Pages not showing up in adminI have just come to a similar problem while developing a theme where my posts would not show up within the admin panel.
The problem was a global variable I created for my theme. I was using a variable that was already taken by the WordPress core (I’m guessing).
I used $name instead of $themename. Once changed, it fixed my problem.
I’m not quite sure if it’s the same problem you’re having but thought I’d post anyway.
