Three Layer WordPress site

  • `Hello all,

    I have an urgent question. Basically a three layer design.

    This may be a bit difficult: we want the landing page to be an array of five rows. In each row, we would like to see two columns. In the first cell, we would like to see the featured article with picture for catagory A. In cell two (in a spreadsheet what would be B1), we would like to see the titles of the next five posts in that category. Then in Row 2, we would like to see in column one the featured article for category B. In row 2 cell 2, we would like to see the next five posts in that category. and so on

    Basically

    A__________|_B
    Feature_A__|Post3_A
    ___________|Post2_A
    ___________|…
    Feature_B__|Post3_B
    ___________|Post2_B
    ___________|…
    Feature_C__|Post3_C
    ___________|Post2_C
    ___________|…

    Then, when one of the features is clicked, the user is punted to a regular blog site with the posts relevant to that category.

    CategoryA Title
    Feature_A
    Post3_A
    Post2_A
    Post1_A

    Finally, when one of the individual posts is clicked, of course the user is on the individual post.

    Does that make sense? Apologies if this doesn’t. I have been working for several, several hours.

    Please help!!

  • what theme are you working with?

    can you post a link to what you have so far?

    where are you stuck:
    – the loops?
    – the queries?
    – the html structure?
    – the css formatting?

    I have been working for several, several hours.

    several hours is not that long for a complex template…

    Thanks alchymyth!

    I am stuck because I am completely unfamiliar with loops, queries and html structure. I am certainly in over my head. I do have a hang of css.

    can you post a link to what you have so far?

    I am working on my localhost and a local wordpress install.

    Is there a good place to begin or references to start with? I am not even sure what to query or terms to search regarding this functionality.

    or, if it is urgent and you don’t know what you are doing: consider to post a job at https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or a similar site.

    Thanks again!

    You wouldn’t happen to know of a site that does something similar that I can use to either post as an example to

    https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or a similar site

    or to use in my own development?

    Apologies if that is too simple of a question.
