In reply to: Using Anchor TextTo get this straight, you want people who visit this page:
http://www.theparadym.co.uk/trailers/
To click any one of the titles… “Watch Dogs” for example… and be brought to this page:
http://www.theparadym.co.uk/games/watch-dogs/
But scroll down to “trailers”. Correct?

In reply to: Add pictures to Media LibraryIn order for WordPress to understand there are images in the media library, you need to use the media library uploader. What happens is, WordPress takes the image, uploads it to the server, makes copies and “crunches” these image into at least three different file sizes depending on parameters you set. Then, it make RECORDS of this transaction, including the path to the image itself, in the database.
You just uploaded images using FTP. You did put them in the correct folder, but in order for WordPress to recognize them, you’d have to make manual database entries and that’s just impractical.
My recommendation is to get the images out of that folder, then log into the admin side of WordPress. Go to “Media”, click “Add New”, and upload a handful at a time. Depending on the server restrictions, you probably won’t be able to upload them all at once without errors, but you should be able to do 5-10 at a time. Let WordPress do the work of crunching and making database records for you 🙂

In reply to: Using Anchor TextThere are a number of ways to do that, but I’d need to see how you currently are getting a list of categories and their links. Then I can give you the correct information.

And this one shows more powerful solutions, but may not be entirely free. You can still customize the code once you purchase though…

In reply to: WP Gallery pictures: weird lines in ExplorerThis “phenomenon” you speak of is actually quite common. It’s a default style for hyperlinks, or anchors, when they become “active” or “focused”. We usually don’t notice the effects since when you click on a hyperlink you are usually taken to another page.
The way this slideshow application works is it divides the image in half with two hyperlinks… next and previous. This way you don’t have to be a sniper to move back and forth between images. When you click either one, it becomes “active” or “focused”, but the default action of taking you to another page is replaced with loading a new image.
Here is an article that should help you to rectify the issue…

In reply to: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSEKeep in mind you might be closing them further down the page, but this is the only code you gave us, so it’s what we have to work with… if you want to paste all the code for the entire page, I could give you better results.

In reply to: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSEIf this is all the code for the page, it’s really messed up 🙂 You are getting that error message, in this case, because you have two if statements, one right after the other, without either ending the first if, or putting an else. You have:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'gold_shpcrt_display_gallery' ) ) : echo gold_shpcrt_display_gallery( wpsc_the_product_id() ); if ( get_option( 'show_gallery' ) ) : ?>When it should be something more like:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'gold_shpcrt_display_gallery' ) ) : echo gold_shpcrt_display_gallery( wpsc_the_product_id() ); endif; if ( get_option( 'show_gallery' ) ) : ?>Or if you need an else for whatever reason:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'gold_shpcrt_display_gallery' ) ) : echo gold_shpcrt_display_gallery( wpsc_the_product_id() ); else if ( get_option( 'show_gallery' ) ) : ?>If, Else, While and other conditional comments need to be closed. If you use : to start them, you need endif; or endwhile;. If you use open curly brackets { you need to close the curly bracket }

In reply to: Please help! Sub pages not showing upCheck your trash… a page that was deleted, but not permanently deleted, will hog the permalink it had… Or even a draft of that page…

In reply to: home permalink at top of pageI’m not getting a page not found when I visit your site… did you fix the issue?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: home permalink at top of pageWhat are you changing? The “title” of the home page itself? Do you want the “title” of the home page changed, but the menu to still reflect “home”? Typically if you change the “title” of a page, it will automatically update the menu item.
If you want to alter the menu item to say something different then the page “title” then you have to go into appearance->menus, hit the down arrow to the right of “page” on the item you want to change. Then, where it says “Navigation Label”, change that to whatever you want.

In reply to: Please help! Sub pages not showing upCan you provide a link to your site? Can you copy and paste the permalink of one of the sub pages (found in the admin area right under the title of the page)?
