got it. sorry about that. thank you Jan and ummm, Brute Squad.

cswaim: I am considering going premium too for the magazine style format. but I also want to control the fields that are displayed in the post list. for example, I want title of course, but then excerpt (not byline), and parts of the byline like author to be included in the footer metadata. mix things up a bit. and control the css too if possible. Do you have documentation about using all these “dp” and “dm” codes and any premium codes? and in a different post I saw that the mag format may need to be formatted with css. Do you have details about that online too, basically the premium details?

thanks…..

Got it. Thanks guys! (ElectricFeet: neat plugin, thank you for sharing.. that will come in handy!)

Bingo! Thanks Justin. All this time I thought child themes were for style.css only. I copied index.php from the theme into “single.php” in my child theme and it works beautifully. But… in this file I see directive

do_action( '__loop' );

how do I go about tweaking the output of that to format to my liking?

full width = uncheck. oops, I should have noticed that!! ??
(love the theme!)

it would be great if the scaling and cropping could be turned off. some of my clients want very specific images on their sites, and don’t like them to scale or change.

Brilliant!! Thanks both of you!
FYI, I did need to change #_LOCATIONLINK to #_LOCATIONURL. Then I had to use CSS to prevent the padding of the p tag surrounding #_LOCATIONEXCERPT from creating an extra line before my “more” link. And then I needed to add padding between each location. I ended up with (edited for space):

<ul id="locationlist">
[locations_list category="11"]
	<li>#_LOCATIONLINK #_LOCATIONEXCERPT <a href="#_LOCATIONURL">see more...</a></li>
[/locations_list]
</ul>

and css:

#locationlist p {
  display:inline;
}
#locationlist li {
  margin-bottom:20px;
}

nice work around I will do that. Thanks!

same exact thing happened to me today. I couldn’t access any part of my blog suddenly. Renamed its plugin folder to deactivate it the the blog worked. Don’t know why either, but also don’t care, I’m scared off by this plugin forever now esp. since there are many alternatives for backup!!

no, the theme doesn’t matter. Even with Default theme the About page still shows up. But it doesn’t appear in my list of pages in Admin screen. Something must be hosed up in the database but I don’t know what to do.

Ouch! All these flames hurt!

alright, I give up, I’ll explain. Especially since it seems like whooami’s brain is hurting just from the suggestion of this. This is not a public blog. It runs on my local PC only off a USB stick (portable apache, check it out: hxxp://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html). In this case, I’m using WordPress as my personal knowledgebase, to track my work activities. My entries are more like problem tickets, keeping track of the work I do. I couldn’t care less about multiple users or search engines, etc. Now, it’s entirely possible that after a few days I’ll want to go back into an entry and add info to it. Comments are cumbersome for this, and plus they don’t seem to be checked during searches. And even if they were, I’d much rather just Edit the original “description”. I guess I could “live” in the Admin console for this but I like the format and themes and capabilities of the main site, so was wondering if this was possible.

So now that I’ve explained my crazy idea does anyone know a clever way to do this?
