Hi Mejms,
Firebug is a free add-on to Mozilla Firefox, and it’s a great tool for figuring out problems like this. That’s how Takayuki figured out what stylesheet and line your problem was on. That said, you need to open your style sheet editor and open style.min.css. Then navigate down to line 1463. Then, look for the line that reads “width: 242px;” and change it to “width” 202px;” . Hope this helps.

Hello Ming Sheu,
THANK YOU so much. This is not only what I was trying to do, but also trying to explain here. It appears I was over-complicating things. I simply switched the menus from pagers to categories and that was what I needed. Thanks again to all who offered support. nice to know that this is here. Cheers!

Thank you so much alchymyth. After reading that document fully (several times!), what I did was the following:

• Created a separate category for each writer’s column (Sports, Fashion, etc)
• created a custom page template for each static page,pertaining to that column (ex: dining.php for the Dining column)

My understanding is that each time a writer creates a post for his/her column, they simply select the proper template from the drop-down which corresponds to their column.

My problem is that I can’t find/don’t know the code to include in each custom template. (I know HTML and CSS, but learning PHP via this kind of crash course). I’m hoping for something that displays posts only from a specified category, and only the last “X” number of posts. If that code was actually in the link you sent, would you (or someone else) be kind enough to point out exactly which code? I’ve tried cutting/pasting various snippets into the document with no luck. Thanks again in advance.

Hello All,
Am I understanding this correctly? I need to have category-based blogroll on each of several different pages (based on the page’s category). For example, the SPORTS page would have a blog-style listing of each post with the SPORTS category assigned to it (several writers working on one magazine site – each writing within his/her category, i.e., fashion, dining, etc). Does this code do that? If so, where? I know HTML and CSS but just learning php, etc. new to WP, so please excuse “noobness” of the question and point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance,
