lovedrea. Have you uploaded the unzipped theme folder to your server using an FTP program?

These are the steps you need to be taking:

1) Download the zipped theme file to your computer.
2) Unzip the theme file onto your computer.
3) Verify that the base theme folder is not contained in another useless folder of the same name. Sometimes you get a MyTheme -> MyTheme -> MyThemeFolderContents structure. If you upload this whole thing, it won’t work. You should pull the main theme folder out, or simply upload the inner folder.
4) Upload the theme folder to your /wp-content/themes directory on your server using an FTP program. (If you don’t know what this means, do some research on Google or consult your host help files.)
5) Navigate to your WordPress admin dashboard, and on the menu on the left hand side go to Appearance -> Themes.
6) Available themes will be here, and you can switch between them.

Maybe try Widget Logic plugin?

Looks like you could check to see if a user is not logged in, then show the widget.

Alternatively, you could hardcode your sidebar.php or page.php files to get the same functionality, using if statements and is_page().

For a similar example, I use a custom Google search on my site, but Google doesn’t allow the results to be any less than 795px wide, which is nearly the width of my content div PLUS my sidebars. So in page.php, I check to see if I’m on the search results page, and if so, I block the sidebar generation for that page.

These are the only ways I’m familiar with. Someone with some coding experience might have a better way.

Not sure what form of information you need to put in the sidebar, but the Widget Logic plugin might work for you.

If you can add the product information to a text or other type of widget (FYI various plugins allow full PHP code in text widgets; Otto from these forums has a good one, Exec-PHP is another good one), you could then use Widget Logic to force a certain widget to appear only on a certain page(s) using is_page().

Yup, that was it. The GDStar Rating plugin uses bar.gif as a loading bar while a post is rating. My theme created a <div class="bar"> for my navigation bar, and I guess IE6 somehow pulled the bar.gif image!

Strange, but thanks a ton!

Thanks for the reply, stvwlf.

I don’t know why it didn’t come to me, but I’ll definitely try that. Now that you mention it, I believe I know of one plugin off the top of my head that gives an option to use that as a loading image.

Thanks for kicking my brain into gear. ??

You can solicit paid support through the WP Jobs site or through the WP Pro mailing list.

Otherwise, you’ll have to make do with the volunteer support here in the forums.

You don’t specify which theme.

If the theme doesn’t specifically provide options for moving the sidebar(s) around, then doing so would likely require significant adjustments to the CSS code.

Check out the plugin Widget Logic, and use the is_page() conditional.

This doesn’t exactly answer your question, since I don’t have the authority or knowledge to do so, but have you tried the Role Manager plugin?

It’s Tuesday, March 10th where I’m at.

If it was still Monday, March 9th when you made the post, try checking your timezone under “Settings.”

I can view all of your pages, so there doesn’t appear to be an issue.

However, as some constructive criticism, I would recommend you run a spelling/grammar check on your site content (including your tagline).

Good luck.

I don’t use the_excerpt(), but I found this information on the web. I don’t know if it’s dated or even accurate, though.

Were you unable to get the_content() to work?

Try this:

<?php the_content('Continue reading this post!','',''); ?>

Save the file, then reload your page. Press the refresh button too, just for good measure. See if it works now.

From what I’ve read, Drupal is not for the faint of heart, although it’s more robust user and permission system makes it somewhat better suited to a medium or large-scale CMS than WordPress.

However, my feeling is that if you’re not a programmer, you’re not going to get much more than out-of-the-box functionality with Drupal. (Maybe someone with Drupal experience can weigh in.)

On the other hand, without programming knowledge, I’m not sure you could get WordPress to do what you want, either. I’ll defer to the more experienced folks here.
