In reply to: Is this design feasible?Create a template with the snippets you’ve got, then assign the template to the page you are trying to keep. The links should then pop up there.
You’ll need a plugin though… something about “templates for posts”. Let me dig a bit!

In reply to: custom fields confusionSounds more like you should use a
[gallery]
. By clicking on the thumbs, you would jump to a new (attachement-) page with the zoomed image.Jumping from “thumbnail page” to “thumbnail page” isn’t a custom fields thingy. You’ll actually have to work and create sub-pages…
Hmmm… if you were a pro-themer like me, you’ld probably use an e-commerce plugin with a shopping cart and post thumbs with product id’s to match the whole. But if you were my client I would say that wordpress is not exactly the best sollution for a commercial sales-platform and show you commercial cms sollutions that fit this job 1 on 1. But hey, I’m not selling anything here. I’m just feeling you… ??

In reply to: Change blog title font and colourSure… taking a quick look, I found it.
In the CSS file located at ‘https://www.thebigpurpledreamcompany.com/wp-content/themes/blueclouds/style.css’ , look for:
h1, h1 a, h1 a:hover, h1 a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #000 !important; } #headerimg .description { text-decoration: none; color: #666 !important; }
Simply change
color: #000
and/orcolor: #666
to the color you want.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moved to a new server, permalinks no longer workingSo, where should I start addressing this problem?
In the fact that wordpress does store absolute paths in it’s database in some places. Some plugins do the same. This is bad because if your local webserver directory path changes, some stuff goes bezerk.
As far as I know, wordpress never said that you can just copy-and-paste it somewhere else.
This is my usual ritual:
1. backup database AND export wordpress xml data
2. backup ‘/wp-content/’ and everything in it
3. leave that server
4. say hello to new server and install a fresh wordpress on it.
5. copy the ‘/wp-content/’ to where it belongs
6. import the exported wordpress xml data7. if, and only if the exported wordpress xml data fails to import, try to recover from the database backup. Being rather pro, I import table after table and not the whole mysql file… so if anything breaks, I know where to look.
Sooo… after a long excerpt, my 2 cents is to look at (a) the ‘.htaccess’ file to see if it’s ok. Then (b) check ‘wp-config.php’ just in case someone configured an absolute path in there and then (c) tiptoe throught the database and correct invalid local path references.

In reply to: Static Page does not work (yet another post like this)Erm, your “header” code does not have a doctype and contains parts of the body of a page. That can’t be correct. Also, use pastebin or something alike for long code snippets. Moderators tend to cut “über-long sourcecode”. ??
Now to your problem: as far as I can see from your online-sample, your “Home” link points to “https://sample1.snappingturtle.co.za/Welcome” while it should point to “https://sample1.snappingturtle.co.za/”. Somewhat like a clear indicator that your “splash-page” configuration hasn’t been configured correctly.
I’ll simply point you to the docs: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page and say RTFM

In reply to: Is this design feasible?You’re almost there!
Remember… the sidebar links you want are like the permalink-titles of your posts. So you can use “almost the same code as in the content area”.
<ul> <?php $mycategoryposts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&category=15'); foreach($mycategoryposts as $mypostlink) { ?> <li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php } ?> </ul>
Use numberposts=-1 to list all posts in that category!

In reply to: Delete a sentence from all postsIs that line part of your post-text? If, then you’re up for a loooong day full of work.
That is, unless you code your own PHP script to correct that, but there are tons of things that can go wrong with your posts if you mess that PHP script up, so I would actually go for the manual correction inside the regular wordpress admin area.
Sorry I can’t give you better news…

In reply to: Valid user nicenames?As far as I remember from the sourcecode-digging frenzy I did on the 2.9 release, it should be something like [a-z] + [_] + [-], where the “name” has to start and end with a [a-z].

In reply to: Move header background flush on left side@alchymyth
Yeah, dived into the forum deep last 12 hours to see what I can contribute and all I do is finding myself reading re-posts of the same questions. Ask me about fruitsalad in my brain. That’s when I remembered that search-thingy! LOL Funny thing is, I also had a question on this forum that no-one has been able (or wanting) to answer yet. So, if you’re bored or just feeling social like I did last night, maybe you can help me with https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/362602 ? ??Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Edit Post empty but post displays perfectlyCan’t help you with that one, sorry. But why are you posting your own question again? You allready asked at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/362610 (See, less noise gives people the chance to discover problems they can actually solve, instead of finding themselves stumbling over the same question again and again… like I just did.)

In reply to: How to create a two level navigation bar like wsj.com?jQuery (which is also heavily used in the wordpress admin section) has some nice plugins that can create such a dynamic navigation.
Just a quick example…

hideonout: 'true'
