Actually, the first part of those instructions: “CataBlog now has a Public option, which if turned on allows you to integrate your catalog into your site.” I do not know what this is referring to. Is this just supplying a catablog library item with a permalink? or this some other option in the settings?

Hi,
I did
” CataBlog now has a Public option, which if turned on allows you to integrate your catalog into your site. Each catalog item and category will be given a permalink. To control how these pages are rendered you need to add two files into your WordPress Theme’s directory. These file act similarly to the single.php and archive.php files found in most standard WordPress themes, but are specific to CataBlog items and categories.

Single CataBlog Item Page: single-catablog-items.php
CataBlog Category Archive: taxonomy-catablog-terms.php”

this by copying single.php and pasting into single-catablog-item.php and archive.php into taxonomy….php . I tested to see whether clicking on the image would link to the url of the link field, and it did not. The lightbox appeared. Then there is:

“Remember that CataBlog also has a few core PHP functions you may use directly in your theme files. These functions are good for rendering catalogs and catalog categories.Inside either of the template files above would be a good time to use those functions. Also, if you simply want to access the CataBlog items data load up the post’s meta data. Here is an example, the last two lines simply list the key-value pairs of the catablog meta data:”

I do not understand from these instructions how to use these functions. Do I copy and paste this Php code into the files? if so, which one and where? Or do I just reference a function name? I have no PhP experience so am not familiar with these things.

Hi mbrsolution,
I do not understand the instructions. “To control how these pages are rendered you need to add two files into your WordPress Theme’s directory. These file act similarly to the single.php and archive.php files found in most standard WordPress themes, but are specific to CataBlog items and categories.

Single CataBlog Item Page: single-catablog-items.php
CataBlog Category Archive: taxonomy-catablog-terms.php” It just says add these two files. Where are these files?

I put them there. I just made blank files, though, and saved them with those names that i posted above. That is the correct procedure? blank files

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. My template does not have that error, that was because of a mistake of how I pasted the code into this forum reply. When creating the files: I created a file called single-catablog-items.php and a file called taxonomy-catablog-terms.php in my theme’s directory, in the ArtWorksResponsive-Child folder. Should I have put this in the Catablog directory?

Yes i am verifying and here, sorry about that https://01theone.com/development/products/

This is the shortcode I am using [catablog category=”Products” template=”products”] and this is the template of name “products” :

<div class="catablog-row catablog-gallery">
	<code><a href="%PERMALINK%" class="catablog-image" %LINK-TARGET% %LINK-</code>REL%>

<img src="%IMAGE-THUMBNAIL%" alt="" />
		<strong class="catablog-title">%TITLE%</strong>

	div class="catablog-description">%DESCRIPTION%</div>
</div>

and the light box still appears when I click on a thumbnail image.
this is a link to the site 01theone.com/development/products

here is a link to show what the catablog library entry looks like https://01theone.com/development/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/screenshotZerone.png

before I was using [catablog category=”Products” template=”gallery”]

Hi mbrsolution,
The template I am using is called ArtWorksResponsive. The short code is : [catablog category=”Products” template=”gallery” navigation=”disable”]

I added those two files to the theme directory, and this did not help. I also tried adding navigation=”disable” into the shortcode. I thought this would disable anything from happening when you click on a thumbnail, but the lightbox still appeared. Any ideas?

Hi mbrsolution,
Thanks for the reply. I tried step 5. I put in an address in the link field and I used the shortcode in that step to make the template be gallery. When I had lightbox enabled, this step did not change the functionality. Still the title would link to the correct url but the lightbox would appear when clicking on the image. I tried disabling lightbox. Now when I clicked on the title it would link to the correct url (like before) and clicking on the image would link to the url of the image. Any ideas?

Even when I have done that the header and logo images did not appear. All other images appeared, just no these two. I just re uploaded my header images through the media section and then chose the header image from the media section, instead of uploading, and it works now. All uploads from the header section do not work on other computers.

Thanks. This worked as a workaround

I was able to make the logo appear. Instead of uploading an image, I chose one from my media library. I tried the same with the header image, but this did not help.

I just checked and it happens in IE also
