Thank you, Jan, for explaining the role of the forum here.
Is there another forum where the questions I am asking would be appropriate?
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Have I been cut off from posting in WP.org?I am in the same boat as the poster. I am extremely sorry for anything I ever did to draw this negative attention. Is there anything I can do to have this resolved?
p.s. I just put up a post in Miscellaneous, that needs editing, because I included disallowed markup. I cannot edit or add to the thread.
If there is any way to get my posts put up without the blocking, I would really appreciate that.
Thank you.

In reply to: How do I launch an external PHP program system from my WP Menu?Hi, I have site just like what you are saying.
Main site: Public Website
Stand-alone PHP application: Members-only portion of site (not part of WordPress)
The file structure is just like yours, except the subdirectory is called /members. screenshot
ADD LINK TO WP CUSTOM MENU
Telling WordPress the link to use for a menu item can be tricky. If you are using custom menu builder (looks like this) (Admin->Appearance->Menu, depending on your theme), you can add a link to anywhere in the Links section (screenshot). Add the link to the menu, then remember to SAVE the menu.ADDING CUSTOM MENU TO THEME
If that doesn’t do the trick, it is because your theme is not using the menu you created. I am not sure of the easiest way of connecting a custom menu with a template. The way I do it is hard, figured out from the codex. The following codes creates the menu in my templates, from a custom menu:$defaults = array( 'theme_location' => '', 'menu' => 'menu-name', 'container' => 'nav', 'container_class' => '', 'container_id' => 'nav', 'menu_class' => '', 'menu_id' => '', 'echo' => true, 'fallback_cb' => 'wp_page_menu', 'before' => '', 'after' => '', 'link_before' => '', 'link_after' => '', 'items_wrap' => '<ul id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s</ul>', 'depth' => 0, 'walker' => '' ); wp_nav_menu( $defaults );//die;Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Types Custom Field for Photos – Save Not Working Smoothlyesmi, thank you for the great question. I setup a new WP site, activated 2013, installed Types, and then realized I had used a “file” field type, instead of an “image” field type. Basically, I had the thing tangled. I was pasting urls into the field where something else was expected. I don’t know how I got it ever to work at all. Now, I can see better how the plugin works. It seems to be an super awesome plugin.
In the new WP site, setup for this testing, everything is working extremely well.
If I have any more problems, I will post a new question.
Thank you again.

Is there something I am doing to trigger the spam filter?

In reply to: Different Category in Sidebar, Depending on PageThank you for responding. That plugin might work.
I am thinking of tinkering with page templates and template tags. Does that makes sense?

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Start Week with Sunday Instead of MondayFound the answer:
Just Change the “Week Starts On” value from Settings > General to the day you want and it should work fine.The trick is to look in General settings instead of settings for WordPress. Makes sense, as always.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Positioning Images and Divs with Text Over Background ImageYes, this is not specific to WordPress.
Regarding the w3schools link, while certain aspects of css/html behavior are explained, it does not specifically address the question of which way is the best way in a given situation.
I just thought this might be a simple question that people in the community could handle, since it is being applied to a WP theme.
I am sorry if this is off topic for this forum.
well, I know I didn’t wp-enqueue, but I figure there are other issues as well, ones I don’t know about.
Hi, Is there anything wrong with the way this page is setup, from a best practices perspective? I am guessing it is horrible, but I really can’t tell.

In reply to: Is it ok to run WordPress without using wp_head()?Follow-up question: Is is legitimate, acceptable, and professionally appropriate to add style sheet links by adding them to head.php? I am wondering if the only right way to add style sheet links is to use wp_enqueue

In reply to: Is it ok to run WordPress without using wp_head()?Thank you for the answer.
This is really important, and I appreciate it a lot.
I am putting wp_head back into my theme.
rock and roll…

In reply to: Adding a Stylesheet to the HeaderUpon further review, I jettisoned wp_head(). It gets into complications that are helpful for situation more complicated than mine. Now putting css links directly into header.php, as recommended by sebig, but header.php no longer contains wp_head(). This seems to be working out so far.
