hmmmm, perhaps, I just noticed that here as well!
(it’s working now, I will resolve after you answer this one small question, if ya don’t mind:

btw, How do you add a customized avatar on www.ads-software.com now? I figured this was a new thing.

Thanks!

Ultimate Category Excluder
fixed this! (find it here)
It blocks specific categories from the feed… or archives, if needed!

sorry for the confusion ??
the sermon page is a category template page, using template hierarchy of category-1.php with the call for dynamic sidebar3 rather than the default sidebar. There’s 2 of these on the blog. Te other is this one.

Does that make any more sense?

actually, I did have that plugged in a modified page template. I simply replaced <?php get_sidebar(); ?> with the above code…

I use <?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?> in the sidebar.php

This seems to be working fine on the other pages like the about page, and sermon category page

OK, sorry about that:
here’s the line:

<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)|| !dynamic_sidebar(‘sidebar2’) ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I found a great idea on Lorelle’s page which works very well. I tried using Kaf’s plugin; but had problems getting it to work properly.

btw, the template hierarchy article is really very helpful!

Thanks Joni and Kaf, I think that’s what I have now. https://fbcwaynesboro.org/archives/category/sermons loads 1-archives.php category page, which over-rides the archive.php.
The question I had… was when you click on the individual post, (I guess that would be a single post, or perhaps a single archive posts) it defaults back to the archive.php, and loses my defined dynamic sidebar, which I set in the category-1.php.
Will I need to set up a conditional tag in the archive file to load this dynamic sidebar for category 1 entries? Or, is there a “hierarchy” that covers the single posts (or would this be considered a single archive post?).

Thank you for all the tons of info you’ve posted Moshu!

OK… think this is resolved, I found the article on Category templates (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Category_Templates)
and this seems to work very well!

Why not just use the Upsilon theme… it has th smooth gallery built in!

I would like to be able to plug the smooth gallery into a standard theme’s page, perhaps a static page, that’d be very cool!

Hey Jon marstonstudio… your website’s contact form isn’t working!

I have a couple sidebars working; but the formatting is off on the second. What could cause that?

the site is here:
https://fbcwaynesboro.org/wp – sidebar 2 on about page

Interestingly enough… there’s an error on a header on a widget text box as well. This must just be a flaw in the design of widgets?

Line 100, Column 5: start tag was here.
<h2>Where We Are</h2>
<div class=”textwidget”>First Baptist Church<br/>

fyi… the site is here

thanks for the advise… I know it’s minor. I added the ‘/>’ bit, didn’t seem to help.

We are using wpg2 on our site here…

Perhaps it’ll give you an idea to work with. It took a while to get it set up and working properly within WP; but seems to work now.

Moshu, I read your post you mentioned above, and tried it out. It seems to work well. I appreciate you sounding the trumpet on this again and again…

By creating the category, listed horizontally with other pages, is there a means of positioning this category with the page buttons?

My site is here The “sermons” button on left is a call to the sermon categories. (I’d like it between the news and contact button.) This is a pretty cool idea. It makes it actually look like you have a separate page with those posts; yet it isn’t a page.
