DRP

Ok, I just noticed something significant. If you click on any of my pages under ‘about’, the sidebar image displays fine. But not on the normal page with my posts when you first visit the site.

Does that shed any light on the issue for anyone?

Sorry to bump this up, but it got buried before I could reply to the questions.

Any ideas now with the info I gave?

-I type from scratch right into it.

-No plugins are running.

-UFT-8 is the encoding option.

Btw, all this is default from the first installation of WP.

Any ideas?

about the illos, thanks! ??

Many thanks Lady,

I’m using ‘girl in green’, and the value was in fact at the bottom of the stylesheet under ul ul. The value was set to 20px, so I just reset it to 0px.

Thanks for the help, it was much appreciated.

I see what you are saying, but will that in fact, stop my name from clipping on the right? I don’t care if it clips on the left when someone resizes their browser, because my title is right justified. For some reason, I’m thinking there has to be a function of the header image to be justified to the right, or at least ‘locked’.

It seems like what you are saying with your suggestion, it would make the sidebar lay 1st, but would that prevent the header image from being clipped by it?

Thanks for the response.

Ok, so add spaces in the WP admin under Link Categories? I’ve tried that, but they aren’t moving. What am I doing wrong?

ok, i’m trying to do what was mentioned here with my link categories.

I’m not a coder, and really new at this so I’m going to make an assumption and say that you mean open the sidebar.php and put spaces in the link category names like so:

<div class=”sideheading”> categories</div>

<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>

<div class=”sideheading”> archive</div>

<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>

Ok, if that is correct, I only have one problem left. I created an ‘artwork’ and ‘links’ link categories via the WP admin tool. Problem is, those don’t show in my sidebar.php, but they do appear on my page. Check it out: https://www.davidryanpaul.com

How do I make this change so that ‘artwork’ can appear at the very top of the list?

Sorry for moving this up, but can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I kind of understand what you are all getting at, but I don’t really know what the code means. Would it be too much trouble to look at my sidebar code and put that code where it needs to be? Maybe that will help it sink in for me.

<div class=”rightimage”></div>
<div class=”right”>

<form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”<?php echo $_SERVER[‘../wp/flowers/simplicity/PHP_SELF’]; ?>”>
<input type=”text” value=”<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>” name=”s” id=”s” size=”23″ />
<input type=”submit” id=”searchsubmit” value=”search” />
</form>

<div class=”sideheading”>about</div>
<p style=”padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>

<?php if (function_exists(‘wp_theme_switcher’)) { ?>
<div class=”sideheading”>themes</div>
<?php wp_theme_switcher(); ?>
<?php } ?>

<div class=”sideheading”>pages</div>

<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li= ‘); ?>

<div class=”sideheading”>categories</div>

<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>

<div class=”sideheading”>archive</div>

<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>

<?php
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
?>
<div id=”linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>” class=”sideheading”><?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?></div>

<?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>

<?php } ?>

<div class=”sideheading”>et cetera</div>

• theme template by Stacey Leung
• powered by WordPress (<?php wp_loginout(); ?>)

</div>

My site is https://www.davidryanapaul.com And remember I just want to reorder the sidebar headings. Preferbly to have ‘artwork’ and ‘links’ above ‘pages’. Sorry for all the bother. It’s just really frustrating for an artist trying to understand code. I’m trying to get better though.

Ok, fair enough. But I’m using a free template from someone else. When I open the sidebar.php in that particular theme folder, it doesn’t show the current headings I just added through the WP admin interface (artwork, and links). But those headings *do* display on my site.

Do I need to manually add them to the sidebar.php in order to reorder them?

We’ll, I didn’t really mean to use DW to open the files. But I only looked at one in DW and never changed or uploaded the file. I think this has more to do with firefox file associations. I can edit any are in my WordPress admin just fine (ex. pages, links, options, etc), it’s just the Themes and Theme Editor options all try to open independently through Firefox as a download.

ah HA! We’ll, many thanks again moshu. I’ll find another that I can modify more easily.

Thanks for the heads up moshu. Just curious, but why should I stay away from that default Kubrik theme?
