Hi realtm,

That’d be great. I managed to get the shortcodes working by disabling the shortcode from Jetpack. One thing that does interest me is the function to show the latest track from a user, and was wondering if I could email you to discuss how you acheived this? It’s something I’d like to use on my non-wordpress site!

D’oh! Should of done a search before posting, I have found out how to do it! For those having problems with it, add PHP to the template where you want it displayed and use the PHP date and time syntax to edit how the date is displayed.

<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?>
The above code will output the date in this formate – September 18th, 2012.

If you want it displayed in a different formate then just get onto the PHP manual and edit the format accordingly.

Regards, Ben.

Hi WPyogi,

I activated the child theme and everything was gone, not a lot more I can say. But I think I figured that out as it was to do with duplicate functions, as in I had them displayed on both the child theme and inside the main theme.

One thing I couldn’t figure out was it changed the order of my menu items which I haven’t been able to figure out.

The site can be found here – https://www.hoddzdj.com.

Hi WPyogi,

Yes that is what I am following and I copied the edited files to the child theme folder and nothing was displayed on my homepage or admin cp. Not sure why. I followed the directory structure as it was in the parent theme.

Regards, Ben.

Okay no problem. Think I’ll probably leave it the way it is then, I have found a plugin that would do the job but it’s not a major problem so probably just as easy to leave it as it is!

Thanks again esmi.

Regards, Ben.

Thanks for the reply esmi. Not sure how I go about setting the main ./category/ tag though. That’s where I’m totally lost! I’ve managed to figure out the other bit for the posts, but my links are still showing as

./category/music/ for the music category and I just want it as ./music/

Regards, Ben.

I already read through that article and a lot of them on the Codex section but couldn’t find much use for any of it if I’m honest, just rather stuck scratching my head.

I’m not looking to change the theme or do anything like that. I just want to display the latest post on my sites homepage. I have managed to do this using the links I found on Google, but thanks for your help Lorelle.

That’s a bit more like what I was looking for!! Thanks Samuel, much appreciated!! Lets see if I can get something done with this.

Thanks again =D!
