Hi jimERo if you made them blank files then CataBlog will not be able to use those files. You need to follow these instructions found in Zach’s website.

Kind regards

Hi mbrsolution,
I do not understand the instructions. “To control how these pages are rendered you need to add two files into your WordPress Theme’s directory. These file act similarly to the single.php and archive.php files found in most standard WordPress themes, but are specific to CataBlog items and categories.

Single CataBlog Item Page: single-catablog-items.php
CataBlog Category Archive: taxonomy-catablog-terms.php” It just says add these two files. Where are these files?

Hi, you have to create the two files yourself and add the content as per instructions to better control CataBlog. Simply use notepad in windows or any text editor to create the two files, then simply copy and past into these files the correct data for example open single.php and copy all the content into single-catablog-items.php……and follow the instructions found here.

I hope this helps you.

Kind regards

Hi,
I did
” CataBlog now has a Public option, which if turned on allows you to integrate your catalog into your site. Each catalog item and category will be given a permalink. To control how these pages are rendered you need to add two files into your WordPress Theme’s directory. These file act similarly to the single.php and archive.php files found in most standard WordPress themes, but are specific to CataBlog items and categories.

Single CataBlog Item Page: single-catablog-items.php
CataBlog Category Archive: taxonomy-catablog-terms.php”

this by copying single.php and pasting into single-catablog-item.php and archive.php into taxonomy….php . I tested to see whether clicking on the image would link to the url of the link field, and it did not. The lightbox appeared. Then there is:

“Remember that CataBlog also has a few core PHP functions you may use directly in your theme files. These functions are good for rendering catalogs and catalog categories.Inside either of the template files above would be a good time to use those functions. Also, if you simply want to access the CataBlog items data load up the post’s meta data. Here is an example, the last two lines simply list the key-value pairs of the catablog meta data:”

I do not understand from these instructions how to use these functions. Do I copy and paste this Php code into the files? if so, which one and where? Or do I just reference a function name? I have no PhP experience so am not familiar with these things.

Actually, the first part of those instructions: “CataBlog now has a Public option, which if turned on allows you to integrate your catalog into your site.” I do not know what this is referring to. Is this just supplying a catablog library item with a permalink? or this some other option in the settings?
