Thanks. I threw in:
width: 590px;
as well as the previous code was only underlining the length of the text in the post. This way the line goes the whole way across.

It appears to be working in Firefox, IE and Safari.

I yanked the height attribute from the post in the CSS and threw in a sample image so you could see what is happening.

Did you generate a form for WordPress’s Admin area or do you code the information on each product page to create the purchase fields on the page?

Have you found a plugin for this yet?

Anyone have any ideas? I still have trouble adding Div’s to posts.

Just adding a note that I am interested in this option as well.

macsoft3,
I checked your previous posts around that time and couldn’t find anything. I have also checked all over the forum and could not find a solution. This was the reason I started this topic.
I’d really appreciate it if you could add a link to the post that you mentioned that solves this issue.

I did that and entered this:
<div class=”righty”>chicken</div>
and saved the page. When I saved the page it removed the class=righty portion and I was left with:
<div>chicken</div>

thatdaveguy, what did you do to get exec-php working? I have been trying and its not working.

figured it out:
<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/category/X
where X is the name of the category

same for wordpress mu:
<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/blog/category/X
where X is name of category and “blog” is the name of the specific blog in MU

anyone?
I just tried this as well with no luck:
<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?page_id=17

for some reason my initial post is not popping up correctly. so let’s try again…

I built my own theme and want to use my own navigation in the header. In the process I am having trouble determining how to set up a link to a specific category.

link for home page:
<li class="current_page_nav" ><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>

link for specific pages:
<li class="page_nav"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(673); ?>">Resource Library</a></li>

link for specific category:
<li class="page_nav"><a href="????">Latest News</a></li>

I have tried all kinds of things like using the ID# of the specific category and tried modifying the bloginfo URL by adding category information at the end. I even tried listing the category as in a list or page but then I loose the style class that i am using in my menu which throws off the layout.

I realize that I can go to the specific page and copy the address from the address bar in the browser but this isn’t very dynamic as any changes I make to the permalinks or parent/child status of this category will change the link.

I would prefer a dynamic link that updates itself as long as I have the correct category number in place.

Ideas?

Here is more on how the Listing Manager software works. (FYI – also known as Realty Manager where the employees are agents and the teams are real estate listings)
The software is normally loaded into a folder on the ftp site. This folder contains a folder for the user pages, a folder for the team (listing) pages, a folder containing the cgi scripts, a folder containing the flat file databases and another containing the page and admin templates.
The user list is dynamically generated when you visit https://www.thedomain.com/listman/homepages. Each person has alink to their personal page on the list that is generated on this page or by visiting https://www.thedomain.com/listman/homepages/user.php. The same goes for the teams or listings when visiting https://www.todomain.com/listman/listings.
I can move the page templates anywhere I want on the site as long as I enter the correct information in the CMS admin pages. Thus I could set up https://www.thedomain.com/homepages or https://www.thedomain.com/blog/homepages. They suggested moving the templates to the templates folder for my WordPress theme. I built a WordPress template page with the Listing Manager codes in the boddy of the page and ended up with error codes. I mentioned this to them and they said it was beyond their php abilities.

Technically what happens is that the pages called at https://www.thedomain.com/homepages hiccups on the first WordPress code in the header. I modified the header so it had static rather than dynamic code and it ran them fine but hiccuped on the dynamic WordPress code in the page. I can hardcode the whole template and it works fine but I loose the dynamic ability of WordPress on those pages.
As a second test I removed all of the WordPress code and ran just the code from the WordPress theme directory and it pulled up the lists correctly. Its a problem with the template pulling both the Listing Manager code and the WordPress code.
Any suggestions for a plugin or method by which to make the code work?
