Any WP support out there?

Any ideas why I’m getting this message?

You’re looking for something WP doesn’t give you … you need javascript or ajax.

No what he’s referring to is an error I’ve come across where even though you’re viewing page 2 or more of an archive, even the main archive, it still shows the first page of posts.

Not sure what does it but I’d like to have it fixed as well … messing up my theme to work around it.

Still trying …

I would try a plugin like Search Everything.

That code says to always grab the first post and show it like that. It looks like you’re trying to do a sticky post?

You have to change the width of the div with id content in the style sheet.

Use the offset parameter and set it to 1. Kind of like how you got the one cat excluded from your other post here. Exact usgae depends on how you’re using it though.

But with any query_posts based function, it’d be the offset=1 parameter.

There are a few ways to do it with conditional tags.

see here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Conditional_Tags

You’d probably be most interested in the is_home() tag.

The trick is to have each tag in a span with a class of the tag name, then you just need to create a new css class for every tag name with the styling you want.

Any ideas?

Not sure if you want old or new at the top, but you can change that with the query_posts. order=DESC will put newest at the top, and you can put the oldest at the top by changing DESC to ASC.

This should do it for you.

<div id="upcomingacts">
  	<li id="recent_posts">
    	<ul>
            	<?php query_posts("showposts=3&orderby=date&order=DESC"); ?>
                <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
				<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
            	<li> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
                <?php endwhile; ?>

                <?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
        <?php endif; ?>
                </ul>
                </li>
  </div><!-- end of upcoming acts -->

Pick one that is visually appealing to you and worry about the rest later. Good thing about WP is as long as you aren’t changing a theme a lot, you can always just activate a new one.

I myself look for themes with the right layout as far as sidebars, header, and footer, then I edit the theme to add new widget areas where I want them, and change pretty much every aspect of the theme except for the layout.
