I am still really struggling with this. Now the images aren’t loading correctly either.

UPDATE: If I log out I can access the front page properly but if I am logged in the bourbon.seattlespiritsclub.com takes me to https://bourbon.seattlespiritsclub.com/wp-admin/edit.php

Seconding Esmi about the IMPORTANCE of child theme. The best way to do this is to change the function in your child theme for Twenty Ten, NOT the Twenty Ten functions.php file

As I stated in the original post, I need a page that shows the last excerpts of up to the last 10 posts in the category Hot Buy. Then the page needs to show content about hot buys in general. This text will rarely change.

I was able to get the excerpts working for the post categories and show the page content by adding

wp_reset_query();

at the end of the excerpt loop. That allowed the_content() to pull from the page.

Now if I can just get thumbnails to show in the excerpts, mission accomplished.

Another plea that this plugin be updated. Would gladly donate to help the cause.

Correction to the above.
It is displaying the content of the first hot buys post instead of the content of the page. I have no idea how to fix that. Any suggestions?

I studied the get_posts link a lot yesterday. It states that the
setup_postdata($post); is needed for ID and for content. It is also needed for excerpt. The excerpt now appears but now the static text of the page no longer appears.

<?php
$args = array( 'posts_per_page=>5', 'orderby' => 'ASC', 'category' => 137 );
$hotbuy_posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $hotbuy_posts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
	<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</p>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php  the_content();
wp_link_pages("\t\t\t\t\t<div class='page-link'>".__('Pages: ', 'thematic'), "</div>\n", 'number');
 edit_post_link(__('Edit', 'thematic'),'<span class="edit-link">','</span>') ?></div><!-- .entry-content -->

The excerpts are for the hot buy posts while the content is for the static text on the page but the_content is not working.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks for your response. The home page style sheet just controls the header image, slide show and footer. The styles for the menu all come from newstyles.css
That is why it is so confusing. The z-indexes are identical because all menu styling from the same stylesheet.

I am still struggling on getting sub menus to be visible. Firebug is still showing them as invisible when the menu is viewed from any page other than the front page.
I am really stuck and hope for suggestions

Of course I would NEVER edit the 2010 files directly. That defeats the purpose. I have copied the one column template file into the child theme.
I still need assistance with removing the comments from the 2010 one column template for the child theme.

There are several different ways to do this. First is to use the custom menu feature of WP 3.0

With many themes, they include a settings or set up page that lets you set this up inside the theme.

If you know PHP you can hard code it with exclude parameter to all your wp_list_pages template tags.

If you aren’t comfortable with working in php, there are a number of plugins that will hide pages from your navigation. Just type in hide page in the plugin search to see a sample of them.

It would be possible with considerable hacking. My concern would be that hacks involved would “break” when the plug in is upgraded unless the developer added it into core.
The biggest challenge would be the one to many relationship required to make this work.

Would you be willing to share your code with us? I am needing to add this function to my blog as well

I wish I knew, that would be a great feature. Unfortunately I can’t answer that question.

Here is another vote for the auto excerpt. I really need to this functionality.
