In reply to: Advice on Taxonomy StructureThanks for this – I kind of came to the same conclusion, but I guess it didn’t occur to me that I could create a custom table. The queries are going to be fairly straightforward – I need to output all award winners by year for each award type; then probably mash up all the award types/years won for the individual posts.
Thanks, that helps a lot.
Thanks for the reply – no addons beyond the core.

In reply to: Troubleshooting Empty WidgetIt’s the strangest thing. The theme has 5 widget regions. On the production server, this particular widget works fine in every single widget region except the one I want it in. So I don’t think it’s the widget per se, it has to be the theme, altho because it works on other servers/installations using the same theme, I’m not even sure what I should be looking at to troubleshoot. No errors, just empty. Like the underlying query simply isn’t firing.

In reply to: [FooGallery Owl Carousel Template] owl-item css selectors?Hi again – I just couldn’t get those pseudos to work at all on the caption backgrounds, even when I linked the images, so I kind of hacked gallery-owl-carousel.php, appending a counter to the foo-item div. It’s not ideal, but it does give me a selector to target that caption background color – foo-item1 .owl-caption; foo-item2 .owl-caption, etc.
Would prefer to be able to use something like the pseudos so it’s more flexible and dynamic to accommodate additional images, but for now, and my 7 little carousel items, it works!

In reply to: [FooGallery Owl Carousel Template] owl-item css selectors?Unfortunately, my images are not linked to anything, so no attachment id to work with. Have tried pseudo-classes nth/first-of-type, first-child, etc, but not much luck. I can get all of them to change to the same color using the nth/first pseudos, but ideally, I want to use a couple of different caption background colors – first item orange, second item green, third item blue, fourth item back to orange, etc.

In reply to: Subdomain on Subfolder install?Posting an addendum to my issue here. I’m an idiot. My default theme was broken, which is why I was getting a blank screen on the front end. The new subdomain site works fine.

In reply to: Publish posts to multiple sitesI have a multisite setup for a client who needs to share very selected content across all the sites in their installation. It’s not quite publishing the content to multiple sites, but I’ve been pretty happy with
https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-content-shortcodes/ the post content shortcodes plugin to accomplish what I needed to do. But it’s only a couple of pages I’m sharing across sites – might not be the right solution for you.Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Changing subsite domain nameLOL! I think this is why I couldn’t find an answer to this when searching this particular question. Getting the semantics of the question right is really hard! No, not entire network. Here’s the situation as an example – primary site/network domain is aaa.org and is not changing. Subsite is now bbb.org and I want to change that to ccc.org.
This whole installation is one organization which happens to have separate sites with distinct domain names for specific initiatives, if that helps illustrate this at all. One of those initiatives is changing its name and so needs a new domain name.

In reply to: Changing subsite domain nameIt’s pretty straightforward. Subfolder install; ordinary domain name (not a subdomain of the primary site.) Branding for the subsite is changing, hence the name change.

In reply to: Sort subcategory archive by custom fieldIssue is resolved. For those with a similar issue, I ended up using a category template with the sort I wanted, and added a theme function that forces the subcats to use the parent cat template: Subcat template

In reply to: Updating from 3.0.1 to 3.8.1Yeah, I know, but when the client won’t pay for the time to do the updates, gets a little tricky to get them scheduled.
Thanks – your suggestion is actually what I was thinking of doing, but was hoping I could skip one of those versions. So glad I checked, since apparently not! Thanks again.
