Tiny Editor doesn’t work with my theme. I found another one named Pro Writer Lite, but it doesn’t play well with all themes, but it gets the job done. Apparently it shows the edit button on the right even when other users are not logged in (annoying! cause the developer says it shouldn’t be there unless your logged in). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Why can I not use shortcodes in Portfolio pages?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-can-i-not-use-shortcodes-in-portfolio-pages/) * Thread Starter [webwatchman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webwatchman/) * (@webwatchman) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-can-i-not-use-shortcodes-in-portfolio-pages/#post-6105901) * But which file? Got any clues as to what its named? Yes, I know its a customized theme, I just want to be sure. And is the do_shortcode a hook that I use? Do you know of any documentation that shows on how to use that? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Why can I not use shortcodes in Portfolio pages?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-can-i-not-use-shortcodes-in-portfolio-pages/) * Thread Starter [webwatchman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webwatchman/) * (@webwatchman) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-can-i-not-use-shortcodes-in-portfolio-pages/#post-6105604) * And no, I cannot give you a link to the page, since it is on a secured server and I cannot lend out my password to do so. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Web Development](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/web-development-1/) * Thread Starter [webwatchman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webwatchman/) * (@webwatchman) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/web-development-1/#post-4079610) * thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Making a database query](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-a-database-query/) * Thread Starter [webwatchman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webwatchman/) * (@webwatchman) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-a-database-query/#post-4927426) * I am thankful for you providing clarity on how WP interacts (and doesn’t interact) with the database. I know I am putting the right code into the right index.php file that is in my theme since I am grabbing content from my “FRONT PAGE” page that I made and pasting it into my “BLOG” page that I made. However, thats not what I want. What I want, is to pull form my FRONT PAGE and paste that info into my home page. I think I will refer to the author of that lesson for further help. Thank you for your insight. * Though I am familiar with WP hierarchy, Do you know where I can further learn about databases for wordpress? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Making a database query](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-a-database-query/) * Thread Starter [webwatchman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webwatchman/) * (@webwatchman) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-a-database-query/#post-4927407) * “Without knowing what data you want to get from the database it’s hard to suggest something more,” <==== I am confused. I stated I wanted the data from my “welcome. php” file. Is that not part of the database, I understand what the database is, its the tables needed to assemble the site. When I make a php file and call from it, doesn’t that add to the database? * I understand declaring the global variable, but I am not clear on what do within the argument. Where do I call the “welcome” file in there? * Do you have a lynda.com account where I can show you which tutorial I am looking at by chance? The video is approximately 7 mins.
