Classic theme – small letters, word wrapping, category hierarchy

  • I migrated my blog from Roller to WordPress and it’s now live at:

    https://blog.arungupta.me/

    Modified the bundled “classic” theme and have a few questions from a WordPress/CSS noob …

    – Why case sensitivity is not preserved in the side bar ?

    – In the sidebar, how can I show categories hierarchy in the category box ?

    – Are there any guidelines between categories and tags for WordPress users ?

    – Is it possible to show posts belonging to 2 tags ? e.g. sanfrancisco+running ?

    – The tag line in header does not wrap if the window size is made smaller. Any idea ?

    Thanks,
    -Arun

  • Why case sensitivity is not preserved in the side bar

    Try editing style.css:

    #menu ul {
color:#CCCCCC;
font-weight:bold;
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding-left:3px;
text-transform:lowercase;
}

    and removing text-transform:lowercase;.

    In the sidebar, how can I show categories hierarchy in the category box

    Your category list already show the hierarchy.

    Are there any guidelines between categories and tags for WordPress users

    Tags aid your visitors in navigating and accessing all the posts with a specific Tag. Tags have no hierarchy.
    Categories are hierarchical and allow you to classify & sort your posts.

    Is it possible to show posts belonging to 2 tags ? e.g. sanfrancisco+running ?

    The tag line in header does not wrap if the window size is made smaller. Any idea ?

    It’s caused by the letter-spacing in style.css:

    p, li, .feedback {
font-family:'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Verdana,sans-serif;
font-size:90%;
font-size-adjust:none;
font-stretch:normal;
font-style:normal;
font-variant:normal;
font-weight:normal;
letter-spacing:-1px;
line-height:175%;
}

    Try adding:

    p.tagline {letter-spacing:normal;}`

    to the bottom of style.css

    Thanks for the detailed reply.

    Commenting text-transform did the trick.

    On categories, I’d like to use the drop-down list box (instead of showing all of them) and still show them in a hierarchical manner. Is that possible ?

    Also, is it possible to show the number of entries in each category ?

    On query_posts, clarifying my question. How do I use multiple tags in the URL ? For example https://blog.arungupta.me/?tag=running shows all running entries. https://blog.arungupta.me/?tag=running+runsfm should only one entry (that’s how they are tagged) but it’s not. What’s the syntax for that ?

    Adding p.tagline {letter-spacing: normal;} only changes the letter spacing normal. But it’s still not wrapping if the window size is reduced. Try reducing the window size of https://blog.arungupta.me and see tagline getting chopped. Any suggestions on that ?
