[Making a post template -wordpress]

Thanks! I was looking all over for something like this.

[Wordpress- making a archive]

Yep that done it i got the php tag that does the sidebar and put it in my archive.php file.

 

<?php _e('Browse Books','monochrome'); ?>

<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name'); ?>

^M

 

thats what makes it do that.

 

Thanks all.

[Making a post template -wordpress]

I was wondering if its possible to save php or html tags into the post template to make it that automatically when somebody makes a post that a couple of links appear at the bottom of the page and a few other predefined styling to make every post appear similar without having to start from scratch with each post.

[Wordpress- making a archive]

make search on wp magazine theme and choose one that does what are you looking for.;activate this template and see what snippet is used to do what you want to achieve.

Or: Standard wp template SHOWS list of categories on a side bar - just use the code for it for the archive page.

 

Ahh yea true!! I'm going to have a peek at the sidebar.php file and see if i can find the code. Please do correct me if im looking in the wrong place

Are you trying to create an archive page? Meaning, a separate page in your website that lists your archive? If so, you'll need to add the following to the very top of your archives.php file.

 

 

<?php

/*

Template Name: Archives

*/

?>

 

 

I've tried this but all it shows is my archive page?? i want it to list catergories. No posts or pages

I installed the http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sit ? wordpress/

but it shows the catergories with posts underneath i want to show only catergories. how do i do this??

[Wordpress- making a archive]

could i use the template and put it in the plugins PHP file??

[Wordpress- making a archive]

yeah but my archive is made with the plugin listed above so i dont know if other plugins would do that. Ill try the tag though. thanks

[Wordpress- making a archive]

ok i've got it... phew

 

is there anyway to make it that you click the category first and then the posts show up?

I'm trying to make it 100% user friendly.

 

i really need to up my php skills more :/

[Wordpress- making a archive]

Want to run the plugin from a template file?

 

To use the sitemap generator function directly from a template file, just insert the following line where you would like the sitemap to be generated:

 

<?php echo ddsg_create_sitemap(); ?>

 

Where do i put this to get it working??

Not in the website in wordpress admin or??

[Wordpress- making a archive]

i wanted the categories to appear on a page in the middle so you can click on them and half all recent blogs on the side bar listed in their catergories. sort of like this:

 

w ww.amazon.com/Subjects-Books/b/ref=sv_b_1?ie=UTF8&node=1000

[Wordpress- making a archive]

yeah that looks like what im after... is the portfolio made up of posts?

[Wordpress- making a archive]

Yeah i what i want is to create a sidebar menu showing categories and also have the posts under it show up in my browse archive under different categories and also keep the posts in sync e.g when i open a post in the browse archive it should have all the comments that it did under a different category in the sidebar. Also i want the posts in the sidebar to disappear after a certain amount have been published. the ones that are gone will still however be in the browse archive.

 

Would the plugin do this?

i'm sorry to make this so confusing :|

[Wordpress- making a archive]

well i try to follow the howto but i cant create a archive page. I sort of want a browsing index so users can look through all blogs in different categories , listed alphabetically...

[Wordpress- making a archive]

I was just reading through this howto

http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Archive_Index

 

For wp 1.5+ it says to upload the archives.php to the themes directory. I dont really get this because i already have a default archives.php in my themes folder. Would that work? Do i have to do anything to it?

[Wordpress changing theme .gifs]

finnally i got it!!

 

i just made a picture in photoshop with the design thing at the bottom and with the rest of the space i done my design

 

Thanks for your help!

[Wordpress changing theme .gifs]

Ahh yes! i have found the div "header" in the stylesheet and i am able to change its colour.

Nearly there!!

 

If you follow the previous link and click preview on the right you will get a sort-of interactive preview where you can go to the top bit (where the top menu is) right click ->view background image. and you will see a little design of the website. when i changed the colour this little bit was cut off

 

here is a screenshot of it

notice the cut off bit is the background image.

 

How can i add my background and keep the little design thing?

[Wordpress changing theme .gifs]

No im designing the website offline and i wont be able to get it on the internet very easily...

 

I'm using the monochrome theme and i haven't done much to it so far. I just realized, i think i changed a completely different image than what i want but i cant see any change.

 

*click on preview this will give you the chance to right-click -> view background image.

If you do that you can see that the image is a tiny bit of the top of the website under the header. which wasn't the image i changed. I't looks like the header doesn't have a image to it rather it being the whole background colour of the website.

 

could i add a variable to the style sheet defining how the background should look without changing the whole background of the website?

[Wordpress changing theme .gifs]

Hi all. I've got a bit of trouble with wordpress im trying to change the overall look of the theme...

 

what i tried to do was change the header_top.gif to a new one i designed. I went into the style.css and changed

 

#headline p { background:url(img/headline_top.gif) no-repeat left top; padding:26px 15px 22px; font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; margin:0; line-height:100%; text-align:center; }^M

 

to

 

#headline p { background:url(img/new-headline_top.gif) no-repeat left top; padding:26px 15px 22px; font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; margin:0; line-height:100%; text-align:center; }^M

 

i saved and reloaded the page however nothing has changed. then i renamed the default headline_top.gif to see if there would be a error but when i reloaded it was still unchanged.

 

Whats going on?

 

Any help would be great
