  • Is this option only in the paid version of the theme? I am using the free version and do not see it.

    I see Appearance > Customize but not Appearance > Theme Options

    I am at a los then as to why it is happening unless someone else has some ideas. I have never used a webhosting install service though for my wordpress installs, because I am unsure how it is installing the software. I might suggest manually replaceing the wordpress install with the latest software (MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR “WP-CONTENT” FOLDER IF YOU DO THIS THOUGH). Other than that I have no real ideas.

    I was wondering if in the settings you set up a static page for your posts? Also did you change your permalinks? And another issue could be, did you have your site set up on a directory somewhere and then change it to http://baseballbat.org.uk/.

    Did you set it up to go to the latest post by only displaying one entry on the blog page? Give a little more info about what you did to get the wordpress install on the server, if you did anything irregular.

    I was actually testing out some different twitter plug-ins but after I installed twitter tools then deactivated it I could not try out any others they kept giving me parsing errors. Is this possibly a broblem with info left on the DB after being uninstalled?

    here is the patsingle.php file. The nitSingle is pretty much the same with some specific classes switched out, and the floats flip flopped.

    <div class="headerPostPat"></div>
    
    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div id="patrickPost">
    
         <div class="patrickPostTop"></div>
         <div class="patrickPostMid">
    
    <div id="dateBrown">
    <div class="dateMonth"><?php echo get_the_time(__('M')) ?></div>
    <div class="dateDay"><?php echo get_the_time(__('d')) ?></div>
    <div class="dateYear"><?php echo get_the_time(__('Y')) ?></div>
    </div>
    
         <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
         <h1 class="article_title"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
         <div class="entry">
         <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</p>'); ?>
         <?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
         </div>
         </div>
         </div>
         <div class="patrickPostBot"></div>	
    
    	<?php comments_template(); ?>
    	<?php endwhile; else: ?>
    		<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

    here it is working, i think

    <?php /*
    Template Name: Single Post
    */
    get_header();
        if ('3' == $post->post_author) {
         include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/nitSingle.php');
        } else {
         include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/patSingle.php');
        }
    get_footer();
    
    ?>

    Thanks a ton! seriously.
    here is the final code I used.

    <?php /*
    Template Name: Single Post
    */
    get_header();
    if (have_posts()) {
      while (have_posts()) {
        if ('3' == $post->post_author) {
         include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/nitSingle.php');
        } else {
         include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/patSingle.php');
        }
      }
    }
    get_footer();
    ?>

    t31os thanks for jumping in as well, but as they say if it isn’t broke don’ fix it. But i have made note of your suggestion as well. Thank you both.

    So you are saying that i can switch between the two template paths (these would be the 2 formats), but the method I am trying with “is_author” will not work? I did see that it was meant for an archive page in the link or a related link from where you sent me.
    OK so I will try something with the $post->post_author, is it possible you could give me a quick example or a link to an example of this. This is the first theme i have created completely by myself and even though I am hitting walls i am really learning a ton. Thanks again for any help you can give me.

    I tried, for several hours now. I am loosing my mind though and need to step away. This is all I am lacking on my site so that is why I am being so relentless. Anyway here is where I am if someone wants to help me until I am able to pic it back up.

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <?php
    if (is_author(3)) {
       include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/nitSingle.php');
    } else {
       include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/patSingle.php');
    }
    ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Yes I did notice your link after I left my responses. I am working on trying some now, I still have not got it to work properly but at least I have a lead on how to go about doing it. If and when I find the solution I will post it.

    I take it back this is working kind of. It is not recognizing the if statement as true though so it always follow the second templatepath. i need to have it recognize the correct author for the if statement.
