Silly me. I’ve realised there to be two .php’s now and have noticed the reloaded reference in the code and managed to increase the length of the arcieve summary myself. I just have a few more questions:

Is it possible for the archieve to show a length defined summary for one category, and not others? I’d like summaries of all my Rapnews.co.uk interviews, whereas I’d prefer the archieve list of news/videos/reviews to just be the title of the post, with no gaps inbetween each.

Thanks!

Woops! How silly of me! Doesn’t seem like the plugin is mentioned in the archieve.php at all. Any suggestions on what I need to write, and where:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" class="widecolumn">

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

<h2>Archives by Month:</h2>

<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
<h2>Archives by Subject:</h2>

<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
</ul>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Worked it out! Looks great! Thanks!

Thanks. It seems that I already have the excerpt reloaded plugin activated.

But it looks like the plugin only determines the length of a post summary on the archieve, if the post doesn’t have an excerpt. Almost all of mine do. I increased the value in the plugin file and it had no effect.

Best,

Hi. Thanks very much for your extended help. I know I’m being quite demanding. You’re really generous with your time!

The banner image is located at:

http://www.rapnews.co.uk/images/adverts/advertmock.jpg

whilst the index.php is in the main public_html folder of rapnews.co.uk as well as wp-content. For some reason it kept downloading as a blank txt file. I copied its content and made a .txt file but wherever I uploaded it on my site, it wouldn’t let itself get downloaded or viewed for some reason. If you could ‘view source’ on my actual site, rapnews.co.uk that’d be great.

Best. Tony.

Hi there,

Thanks for your help.

I added an ID to the image and the image appeared successfully, just without the correct spacing between it and the bottom line of the site’s header title image. Luckily the image is the correct width as required.

I tried editing the style sheet with the enclosing method you suggested. This didn’t work in getting space between the bottom border of the title graphic and the top border of the advert banner.

I then tried doing the style sheet suggestion of assigning margin values, but this didn’t work, and regardless of how big I set the values, no change on the presentation was made.

Do you possibly have any other suggestions, or would you be so kind as to paste me some code which you feel would work? I’d be very grateful. I’m quite a novice to this. Someone else designed my entire site but they’re no longer about.

Best, Tony

thanks for your help. there’s no unclosed div tags in the sidebar.php

any other ideas?

Anyone?
