Moshu – forget about elaborating. I read some of your other posts and I understand not using the page templates for the category.

Having said that… how do I use a page template for a category?! The featured-page.php template with my theme is how I want to display a certain categories posts as? I have saved my archive.php as category-16.php. Where can I go from here?

Here is an example of the featured page:
https://www.wp-themes.der-prinz.com/magazine/a-featured-page/

I didn’t create it. If you’d like, I can send you the email for the person who did the edit of the existing flash logo.

Moshu:

Thanks for replying. When you say “Don’t use pages to display posts,” would you elaborate a little? Upon further reflection, I’m not actually doing that (I don’t think). I’m not using the Category Pages plugin (I was at one time, but didn’t end up using it), so I think I’m using the posts as normal posts.

So where do I go from here? I’m trying hard to understand, but it’s not working. I’ve read the page templates and category templates codex pages, and tried to create a category-16.php from the featuredpage.php which came with the theme. I’m sure that the reason it didn’t work is somehow related to what you’re saying.

Can you help more?

I would like to remove the “Comments are closed” text for posts/pages where comments are disabled, BUT leave the entire commenting section for posts where they’re allowed.

Can I do that with this snippet change? It seems like that would work just fine.

FREAKING AWESOME!! That totally worked – now I just need to get the flash file to be the correct size and I’m done!!

WOO HOO!!

wow.

thanks.

Great. How do i know what to fix?

I need to be able to create a form that is viewable and usable to the public (preferably with a Cforms like interface) and have the info from that form post to a POST, and subsequent categories.

(Use: a missing persons website where people can enter info about their missing loved one, which then displays in a list for others to see).

I’m not an experienced designer or programmer, so a plugin for either creating the form and simply choosing something like, “Submit form submission data to POSTS, or PAGE (with an option of pages),” or one that tagged onto CFormsII would be AMAZING!
