Hi cristogeretz,

Thanks for the reply. Well, I don’t even see a “home page” when going to Manage –> Pages. And these links are on all pages on the site. Where would I look at templates?

Oh, wait…

Presentation –> Theme Editor –> Header

THERE THEY ARE! Found ’em!

Thanks!

Chris

Hello Stefano and thank you for taking the time to answer. Your instructions worked perfectly well, but the one question I have is…

This still leaves the code unencrypted. So in the generated HTML code I can still see the information such as the price, email address, etc… That’s what I am trying to avoid, which is what the “encrypted” part does. Now the info is definitely not as glaringly obvious this way, so it IS an improvement. But is there a way to remove that info completely? Thanks a million!

OK, I’ve been playing a little and the one thing that strikes me quickly is “Pages”… I have no experience with Pages.

Would this work?

• Create a Page with the exact display I (they) want.
• Create a Post That is, in essence, nothing more than a
  title and a link to that Page.

Now I just did this on the very blog I linked to above. But on the site itself, there is no mention of Pages, and like I said, this is all new to me. I need to understand it before I can train them on it. So now that I’ve created the Page, how do i get to it (other than “View” from the admin panel)? In my hacking of the php files, have I inadvertently removed the pages section? What php file(s) would it be in?

I think this’ll work if i can effectively learn it…

Hello again!

About not having two single.php files in a theme, I don’t have that. I have two entirely separate installations of WP. Obviously, each one has the same “theme”, based on my CSS.

But as you can see in my original post, the “single” pages of each individual blog is different, which is what I don’t understand. I just looked at both single.php files and they are identical in every way, line for line. So I don’t see how the code of the file itself could be the problem.

The workshops single post page at http://www.chrisbartlett.net/bi3/workshops/?p=5 says “You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.” It also has the form where someone can leave a comment. I want all that gone.

The News single post page at http://www.chrisbartlett.net/bi3/news/?p=8 says “Both comments and pings are currently closed.” It does not have that comment form, but rather text that simply says “Comments are closed.”

That is exactly how I would like the Workshops single post page to appear. And it seems to me that the php code generates the page content dependent on settings from the admin console.

But I’ve looked over both of those and unless I’m missing something, they are identical, too!

Bottom line is that on the Workshops single post page, I want it to say exactly the same thing as the News single post page does.

How can I do that? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!

Well, regarding the index, I think you mean NOT seeing anything about comments on the main page, such as this: http://www.chrisbartlett.net/bi3/workshops/

Right? If that’s what you mean, as you can see it’s already done.

But regarding the single page (and the php file that controls it), I know not if I will screw anything up by simply deleting code. Could you be more specific as to what code to remove?

The reason I ask is because when I look at the two single.php files I have (one for NEWS and one for WORKSHOPS), they are identical (as far as I can see. But there must be a code difference, eh?

Thanks!

Chris

I appreciate the reply. As it turns out, the only problem was that I am a moron. I was editing the search.php file on my TEST server, and refreshing the web page of my REAL site.

After realizing that, I went to the test page in the browser, and guess what? It was changed. *Sigh*.

I’m such a nitwit sometimes…

Chris

Anyone, please?

Chris

Nevermind, it was CSS controlled…

Another question, though? How can I put text placeholders in the form fields, just like I have at http://www.bartlett-family.net/chrisbartlett/contact/

http://www.bartlett-family.net/chrisbartlett/blog2/?p=6#comments has no placeholders, because WP defaults don’t allow for them that I can figure out.

Thanks,

Chris
