I tried removing the lines that calls those commands but it gave my whole site a php error.

Any able to assist?

1) Install WordPress to your domain and once you’re done, login to your site (It should be https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin unless you used a directory then its https://yourdomain.com/directory/wp-admin)
2) I’m assuming you have a html website? (ie: about.html, contact.html). Go to Pages and edit your “About” page and paste your text from your own “About” page there. Then when you need to add extra pages (contact, faqs, domain, poetry & etc) go to “Add New” and post your content there. You do this for each page you had on your old website.
3) Find a theme that suits your style. Unzip it then upload it to your wp-content/themes folder.
4) Go back to “Appearance” and select the theme you want to use and activate it.

As far as tweeking your theme and altering the php codes, you’ll have to do research through these forums, on this site and/or Google.

Good luck.

Doesn’t sound like a WORDPRESS issue to me.

Join this forum and ask them:https://geekstogo.com/. They should be able to assist you with computer & monitor issues.

?

Add this to the top of the .php page you created:

<?php
/*
Template Name: The Page Name Here
*/
?>

Upload it to your theme that you are currently using folder and then when you create a page, it should now show up in the dropdown.

nevermind. i found where i can change it. it’s located in wp-includes/formatting.php, somewhere after line 779 is this

/**
* Generates an excerpt from the content, if needed.
*
* The excerpt word amount will be 55 words and if the amount is greater than
* that, then the string ‘[…]’ will be appended to the excerpt. If the string
* is less than 55 words, then the content will be returned as is.
*
* @since 1.5.0
*
* @param string $text The exerpt. If set to empty an excerpt is generated.
* @return string The excerpt.
*/
function wp_trim_excerpt($text) {
if ( ” == $text ) {
$text = get_the_content(”);

$text = strip_shortcodes( $text );

$text = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $text);
$text = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $text);
$text = strip_tags($text);
$excerpt_length = apply_filters(‘excerpt_length’, 55);
$words = explode(‘ ‘, $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {
array_pop($words);
array_push($words, ‘[…]’);
$text = implode(‘ ‘, $words);

I changed 55 to 150. ?? !!!

lmao!! @ whooami. I didn’t get it either, lol.

Man, this topic made my NIGHT. I was telling my homegirl that there’s this guy on wordpress forums about to commit suicide over PHP INCLUDES.

yayyy, that did it. Lovely Michael!

One more thing, how can I change the 55 word limit? I’d like a littttttttle bit more showing. lol

Ok. I’m messing it all up, lol. I’ve tried putting the codes in the right places but I’m not getting it right.

Here’s the index.php. Can someone show me where I need to put it?

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”side-left”>
<div id=”content”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”kutu”>
<div class=”ust”><span></span></div>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<img src=”https://chanellie.com/diarylock.gif&#8221; align=”left”><h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<font color=”#B890DC”><?php the_time(‘F d, Y’) ?> | <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comment’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?></font>
<div class=”tags”><?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ”); ?></div>

<div class=”entry” align=”justify”>

<?php the_content(‘ ‘); ?>

</div>
<br class=”clear” />
<div class=”postmetadata”>Click ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>” class=”more”>here to ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>” class=”more”>read more of this post…</div>
</div>

<div class=”alt”><span></span></div></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<div id=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘Older Entries‘) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries‘) ?></div>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<div class=”kutu”>
<div class=”ust”><span></span></div>
<h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
<p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.php”); ?>
<div class=”alt”><span></span></div></div>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

hey figaro thanks!

I’m trying to make sense of the provided link, but it looks a bit convoluted to me. Plus it’s only going to show the title of the other posts and not an actual summary with a “read more” link.

…or am i reading it wrong?

Just to finish up this topic, Chanel herself described her own comment as rude.

I SAID I WAS BEING SARCASTIC ABOUT BEING RUDE!!! For crying out loud…

Side note: It’s funny how you want to call everyone “rude” when YOU’RE actually the rude one sprinting to www.ads-software.com to COMPLAIN how DISAPPOINTED you are in wordpress.

thanks Michael. I always search Google and these forums first before I post but i never word it properly to get efficient results. I’ll try those soon and update this thread once i try it.

good luck. im no longer replying to this topic.

Chanel, thank you again for your help.

I hope that you will become less rude in future. It isn’t kind, after all. You don’t know the person to whom you are doing it — maybe they are not as bright as you are, maybe they are stressed by financial or health problems. They are invited to post here for help, and they should be able to expect courtesy in receiving it.

You were trying to help me, and you probably have. It wasn’t necessary to try to inflict pain at the same time.

Wow. I inflicted pain by saying there’s always Greymatter? It’s called sarcasm, which I made you aware of in that same reply. And I was being sarcastic about calling myself rude as well.

Nevertheless, you’re welcome.

figaro! i was looking for you. after you’re done assisting this topic can you help me with mine? https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/232126?replies=1

Pweety pwease? ??
