You can create a simple if statement which allows you to check if this is the home page, you could also use a similar one to work with other pages, so check via ID.

<?php if(is_front_page() ) { ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?>

Hope this helps

If you go to your websites dashboard, located the ‘appearance’ heading and select the option menus, here you can add / remove menu elements.

With regards to the missing previous / next links it sounds like your missing a little bit of code from your loop, the following link should point you in the right direction.

Via FTP you should be able to browse your sites files, if you follow the path wp-content/themes you’ll see all of the installed themes, simply find the theme you wish to use elsewhere, download and reupload to your new site.

Apply a border to the element #sidebar, you way need to reduce the elements width depending on how the theme was created.

You could try using CSS to force it to output at a fixed size, this doesn’t always work with jQuery sliders though.

Another option could be to use a php script to resize the image when it loads, there are lots of different methods if you give it a quick Google, you could end up with very distorted / stretched images if you resize an image though.

It sounds like the WordPress menu is pulling in static items, if you’re using the ‘menu’ tool within WordPress dashboard it could be worth checking that the items have been updated there.

Hopefully it’s that simple

I don’t build plugins, just custom templates / themes for people, give me a Google if you need more info.

I’m not 100% sure without seeing it, I have a feeling it’s only the top level files from the theme which are visible within the WordPress editor.

What you could do is create a custom post type, this would mean you could have a the Standard posts option and a custom named post type, what it would mean is that you could filter through items slightlier easier. And of course you could then use single.php and single-custom-post-type-name.php to pull in a different version of the loop.

So

single.php uses loop-single.php
single-custom-post-type-name.php uses loop-single-custom-post-type-name.php

Each containing a different version of the loop.

Hope this helps.

Looks pretty good I quite like it, there’s something about the post text which doesn’t work particularly well with my eyes, feels a bit spaced out, the titles work it’s more the excerpt text. Could be worth seeing what reducing the line height would do.

Good work though

Hi @autoejukeytur

Within the theme ‘CarsWorld’ open the file /lib/css/screen.css and locatethe following line

tbody tr:nth-child(even) td, tbody tr.even td {background:#e5ecf9;}

Simply replace the hex value with the colour of your choice.

If your themes already uploaded go to the WordPress dashboard and below the ‘Appearance’ heading is the option themes, here you’ll be able to see all the installed themes you have with simple activate options.

If you need to install a theme there’s an ‘Install Themes’ option at the top of this page which will easily allow you to install one of the WordPress themes, or you can upload a custom built theme via FTP by placing your theme within the folder ‘wp-content/themes’

Hope this helps

Hi @davy_yg if you’re using an off the shelf WordPress theme the chances are it’s coded to display the navigation in its raw form, meaning that any published pages will be displayed in the navigation.

There are two work options the first involves a plugin which gives you the option to tick a box to exclude items from appearing within the navigation.

The second and better option is to use the built in ‘menus’ tool WordPress offers which allows you to drag and drop navigation pages into the order you’d like, with the option of leaving out certain pages, or having them replicated under another section.

So to call a custom menu, simply replace the nav tag within your header.php file with the following.

<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'The name of your navigation' )); ?>

Hope this helps

Hi @aprilldr

All the content should remain, you may find that depending on the styling of the new theme the content is physically presented differently but don’t fear the content will not be lost or deleted, remember you can always revert back to your old theme.

Hi @randomfrequency

When you change a WordPress theme active plugins will remain active, they may display slightly differently however depending on the styling of the new theme so there maybe some tweaking required.

To be safe always backup your current files so you can revert back, generally speaking with WordPress if the new theme isn’t what you’re after once it’s applied you can easily switch right back to your previous theme with no damage.
