you have installed it already?? if so just go to wherever you installed wordpress… ie) if you installed WP directly into https://www.example.com’s root area (right inside your public_html folder) you should just be able to go to https://www.example.com and wordpress will show up. If you want to go into your admin area… just type https://www.example.com/wp-admin

Or am I missing your question?

Sorry the page is not “Gallery” its “Photos”

which photo gallery are you referring to? If you are talking about the page referred to as “Gallery” that is an instance of coppermine photo gallery I have installed on my server. If you are talking about the galleries in the page called “Photo Gallery” they are a flash and a php photo gallery I am testing to see which I like better.

As far as your pictures goes… you could always do it like this –> (https://gpetzold.swifthost.net/images/test.htm) It didnt require any formatting at all. Just change the pictures to whatever you want and remove the single quotes (these –> ‘ <–) and youre off.

Hope that helps.

what about if you put the first two pics in one container div and floated each left and right and then put the next two pics into a second container div and floated them left and right… so you would have:

<div class=”first”>two pics in here floated left and right</div>
<div class=”second”>other two pics in here floated left and right</div>

I havent tried it to see if it works… but It should work… if not you could always position those pictures absolutely (if you dont need fluidity in your layout).

Hope that helps…

I may be talking out of my a$$ here, but could you not just do it all in CSS? If you set the height of your <codebox> (an assigned class/id of a div) and then say overflow: show or something… would that not work?

If it doesnt i know that a lot of forums have this in them (this feature i mean) I am sure there is a way to do it without php… you could always set up a form (coded in html mind you) and do it that way… or are you wanting to have it more dynamic?

I dont know if this has already been suggested but you could try using the query_posts() function as discussed in this thread:

I am using it om my site and it works great… you just copy and remane your indes file and add the template info at the top. Then before your “the loop” you add the code for the query… tell it what category to allow (or disallow) and bam! you have what you are looking for.

If you look at my site (https://gpetzold.swifthost.net) and go to my recipes page (not a lot on there yet) you can see that this works great! I post all my recipes as if they were normal blog entries (except I categorise them as, you guessed it, “recipes”) and they are dealt with accordingly.

Wow I sure do ramble dont i?

So after some searching I have discovered a little function called query_posts() it works beautifully!

Thanks to this thread for the help.

Appoligies for the double post… apparently the “comments_popup_link” needs to be placed inside “the loop” (according to the codex)… since I have modified the loop for this specific page apparently it does not show up…
interestingly though the edit_posts function requires the loop as well but it seems to be able to operate properly…

I am still confused here… ??

The method mentioned two posts above mine works wonderfully… although you simply need to remove the “while: have_posts” (or whatever it says) and replace it with

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query(‘category_name=category_name_here&showposts=10’); ?>

… you can leave the rest of your “index” file the way it is and things should work peachy for ya. At least that is how I implemented this on my site… I wanted to have a recipe page and instead of writing a seperate html page with all my recipes on it… I made posts to a recipe category and am displaying them on a seperate recie page… and not displaying them on the index page… seems to be working ok.

Appologies for the rambling…
