Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: calendar problemmandyanne, set the preferences here so the link points to your blog – not a splash page or some other page where we have to hunt for your blog. It will help you in the long run.
As for the calendar. It will display “out of the box” but comes with lots of classes and ids to style how you wish, like:
#wp-calendar td.pad {
background: #CCBE92;

In reply to: Remove “li” stylings from link headersDon’t hack the core files, it is a css issue. You can do it one of two ways. The first is to assign the :before stuff not generically but for each section. Another way is to wrap the portion you want to remove the css from with a unique identifier (like <li id=”links”>) and specifically set the next li to empty.

In reply to: pictures in databaseIf by step in the right direction you mean images in a database, then it is a step but most certainly not the right direction.

In reply to: Trackbacks?Ah, back from church… dlature – As per your comment on my blog, yes, what I sent was indeed a trackback. I simply entered your trackback info for the “another tb test” post (https://theoblogical.org/wptheob/wp-trackback.php?p=2533) into the “Send trackbacks to:” box and clicked “Save” (I did it from an already published post). Glad to see at least my trackback worked.

In reply to: Trackbacks?I just sent a trackback to a post on the site and it did not show up so, assuming the admin settings are not supressing it, I believe they just don’t appear – in the database or post.

In reply to: Trackbacks?Sorry you had problems with trackbacks but in all fairness, as many of the other threads explain, they are not “broken” per se. They work just fine on my site and many others.
For those newbies and lookie-loos reading this thread, trackbacks do work – at least up to and including 1.5.1.3. A few people have, however, experienced difficulty with them.

In reply to: This is really I think a “newbie” questionRoot – that is what styles and the style switcher are for. On my site I use both. If one wants the same theme but a different style then they shouldn’t mess with adding themes. (oops, I am logged in under my alias for another site)

In reply to: This is really I think a “newbie” questionThey will take on the look of the new theme which may be some “vanilla” look depending on the complexity of the new theme. Also, any editing of the files in your old theme will not show up, obviously, in your new theme until you edit those files also.

In reply to: Displaying the latest post on the front pageI’d get the custom_posts_per_page plugin so you could just set the front page to one post and the rest to whatever. Hey, root.

In reply to: i think i scrrewed something up?Best to recover the backups you made before editing the files and start again if you can’t easily figure it out. It does, however, look like the plugin is “busted” as it should not show code – perhaps you don’t have an opening
<?php
