Im still having trouble with this. I keep seeming to get a blank page.

is there any code that i can copy and paste then fix is as necessary?

would this allow me to create modules like msnbc.com does with their categories on the home page?

very well put. ive just been hesitant o put in so much work then have it not work. but i guess ill never know until i begin. thanks for the input.

oops here is the link to the other thread, they’re kind of asking different things, but relating to the same project

im new here, understood sorry.

ive started this thread but im not sure if the answers would be the same.

what im attempting to do is have one main site pull/display content that is being added on other non-profit sites.

the main site would display one column of posts for events, another for news and the last for sports updates.

Since i cannot rely on the external rss feeds of the non-profits to aggregate the content i was thinking of making each non-profit a PAGE of the Main aggregation site. This was the non-profit would be able to maintain their own “profiles”

by maintaining i mean they update their individual news, sports and event posts on their individual pages.

I think i can code the page.php to call in 3 loops based on categories or events, sports and news.

Where im getting lost is the set up of the categories (do they need to be super specific so as not to confuse the user i.e. nonprofit1-events, nonprofit2-events and so forth), the feasibility of making these 3 loops on a single page, then calling up all this information on the main site aggregation page.

sorry if this is too long or confusing, i greatly appreciate the help!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REPLY!! I was thinking about the RSS feeds. I know it is possible to have multiple wordpress sites on the same database but i also know it can get fairly messy.

Do you think it would be simpler / more efficient to have each non-profit have their own PAGE under the main site. Each page would basically look the same aside from the content their editing. Each page would be designed to have three independent loops.

I would control their access through the users permissions to only edit that particular page.

Or is this getting too complicated on a single site?

Thanks again!

im still not able to get it to work. i beginning to understand a little.

i added under my about PAGE custom filed name is header_pic then value is <img alt=”about us” src=”https://maclaarte.org/wordpress/wp-content/themes/NEWmacla/images/programs-bg.jpg”/&gt;

then in my header.php where i want the image to appear i have <?php $image_url = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘header_pic’, true); ?>

im not sure if get_post_meta is an issue since im adding this to the pages not a post

maybe im not understanding their documentation. once i add the plugin, do i create a div where i want the custom image header then place the image location into the custom filed?

there isnt a simple function to accomplish this? i cant seem to get any to work.

my site is less than 10 pages.
