WordPress CMS HELP!

  • Ive tried posting this before but im confused if the help im getting is if my page is a blog or a regular website.. im using wordpress for a website so im dealing more with pages. Ill try again with more detail..

    Im creating a page which is pretty much like a portfolio.. i have a projects page (site.com/projects) and I created subpages to the projects page (site.com/projects/project01) what im trying to do is show the projects as they are added to “site.com/projects”. Its like a basic portfolio page.. it shows all the projects you worked on with brief descriptions and then it links to the page when clicked.. pretty much like this page here .. everything there is what im trying to do but I would like to do this in a way that when i update i wouldnt need any knowledge of xhtml/css so i dont have to deal with xhtml/css when adding new projects.. So far anything I’ve found has to deal with just displaying the links but i dont think every1 with a portfolio/works/projects page is adding them manually.. isnt there a way to add child pages with an image that would automatically update the projects page with the sub page?

    If any1 has done this with any other CMS which did you do it with? I only decided to go with wordpress since people are saying clients like it.. its user friendly which is what im looking for.. im trying to create this website as if the person operating it will have no xhtml/css knowledge.. just want to add projects..resize the image and for them to appear on the projects page.

  • hi

    Take a look at wp_list_pages
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages

    especially the “Child of” option, since all the sub-pages you want to list are children of the main page.

    That is only going to create links to the pages, without images. The output of wp_list_pages would need to be modified so you could insert thumbnails that were saved as custom fields in the child pages. But before getting into that, take a look at the function and see if it will accomplish the basics of what you are after. It will create a list of links to all child pages of the main page. As you add additional child pages, they will automatically be included with no programming required.

    If that works for you, adding the images comes next.

    First of all, try using correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. It makes life much easier for readers in these forums who want to help.

    And separate the different problems into distinct questions.

    And post your site URL.
