Hey! I got a response! ??

1. There was when I tried it. I couldn’t get it to pull up the subfolder though. I’ll try it again and get back to you.

2. I have to put that inside php code though, right? For instance I can just put <!–gallery–> right into my WordPress post but I can or can’t just put {$tag}?

3. As others using your product somewhere described, something must be reading the desc.txt file with line breaks at the end of each photo description so that it generates the alt text with the code
between the description and the file size information. The website’s not up and we’re currently playing around with making it go live. Plus I’m not comfortable posting my family’s website URL here. If you’d like to correspond, please e-mail me at [email protected].

Also, for what I want to use it for, even with these little issues, your product is doing great!

Whew! Sounds like a lot of work! Thanks so much for your help! You weren’t confusing. I’m just so new to this. I’ll give it this try and get back to you when (not if!) I have more questions. Thanks!

Thanks, Moshu! I’m definitely a newbie and even your simplistic explanation was a bit over my head. Let me get this straight. So far we’ve deleted all reference to categories from the site and we’re using a top navigation bar to link to other pages.

I can set up the categories video and photo and have them not show up on the main page with the plug-in. Can I link directly (manually) to the category display page for Photos on our top navigation bar? Is the category display page the same as the category archive? Or can I make the categories and subcategories for Photos display in the sidebar only in the Photo Archive? How else could I display only the navigation for the photos in the photos section?

Thanks for the info about Category Templates!

Thanks for your help. Here’s what we’re doing. We have a main page where we’ll tell news and anecdotes about our family. My husband also takes video of the kids and so we want a separate page where he can post the videos like he does now on our current website (which we code by hand – yuk!). Then I need a separate page to post pictures I’m taking of the kids. (And I don’t want to use a separate site like flikr.) What we don’t want is for the posts for video, picture, and news to appear on the same page like posts of different categories do (right?). Does that help?

P.S. I have all the content – past videos and pictures from the previous site. I just need to know how to design the WP site to hold them.

Woohoo! I fixed it. I looked into what you meant by taking out the php loop. I thought it didn’t matter, that I was hardcoding the page. But now I see that isn’t true. I bet it was using index.php as my default page template. I copied it and took out the parts I didn’t want. Don’t know for sure what everything is there for but I’m so thankful for your help!

Thanks for all your help. So great to know how to turn off the WYSIWYG. I don’t think we’ve quite hit on the problem yet though. After I made the new page the first time, I used the same process to input my table of code and it showed up just fine. The only problem was that the template included some things I wanted to get rid of.

The files in my theme folder are:
comments.php
footer.php
header.php
index.php
sidebar.php
style.css
timeline.php – The one I created which isn’t working.

When I created a new page, where did it get the template from? It showed the title of page, the date of the posted, posted by, and comments, so it obviously wasn’t a blank page. That is what is vexing me.

Although I guess you all are right that I just could fix my template.php file. It just feels like it’d be so much longer…

Ummm…To input the HTML code I use the HTML button at the top of the WYSIWYG editor. Also my code is a huge table. I don’t know how else to lay out something into two columns. Could that be the problem?
