I read your posts and we suffer from a similar … speedhump approach to life… all I can say is I’m sorry it sucks to be us.

I talk a good game but I would have spent days on nothing myself, so I understand… good luck ??

get_option(‘page_on_front’) should give you the ID of the page set as the homepage.

He said PAID so I don’t think it’d be GPL ??

the ethical answer is no… but you don’t need to distribute them – you can simply do a if (function_exists()) … on them to determine if they are installed or not – and have your theme display a “plugins required” page with links to install those plugins from the plugin repository here on www.ads-software.com.

What you could also do, if you were feeling a bit more brave about it – which would be better… is see if you can exploit the wordpress automatic plugin installation feature as part of your theme.

So the first time your theme is activated it can display a notice saying that two plugins are required… click here to download and install them.

That would be nice and simple for the end user.

ummm… you know what it is… heh…

it jumps by exactly the width of the scroll bar… exactly the behaviour you would expect.

happens in google chrome too – if there’s enough resolution for it to shift off…

I don’t see it as a major issue at all – certainly not worth wasting time on…

1) you will certainly change themes eventually
2) the width of the content never changes
3) if you put anything worthwhile on any page, it will always scroll off the edge anyway… and it’s not just one monster of a post, numerous posts on the the front page will do the same job.

I say get on with the content – you can solve this problem later or never.

gentle bump for more eyes.

Brilliant, cheers! ??

Thank you Michael, I had no idea get_posts could retrieve based on the slug, that part isn’t documented in the codex, thanks so much for your help!

yes, it makes sense, but only because you’re using a fakeout based on the page name and category names instead of just using wp_list_categories in the first place, instead of wp_list_pages.

I think your problem goes away if you use wp_list_categories – the css generated by that lets you keep the parent category highlighted.

thanks, but that’s not really similar in any way – I need to pull the ID of a post (not a page) and not on that post, but on a category template, based solely on knowing the post-slug.

there may not be a visible space, but it’s there… try changing the software you’re using to edit the file… I know dreamweaver and many others insert crap where it’s not supposed to be.

I think you’re using pages incorrectly… because posts aren’t actually within pages, they’re within categories.

I think what you want instead of using pages, is to use category templates as a kind of page — I think that will make this whole process much easier.

I don’t know if you’re using the right terminology do you really mean posts, or do you mean sub-pages?

From what you’ve shown here, it looks like you’re trying to make breadcrumb navigation – there are plugins which will do that for you out of the box.

dude with a moustache and his business card – works fine here…

You made your other post two days ago, not a week ago… and you didn’t provide any useful information in it about your template.

Hey, I need help putting a memo into my phone’s calendar, what do I press? How will you know if I don’t tell you which phone I have?

Before having a hissy fit, it might be nice if more people LEARNED HOW TO ASK their question in a way that makes it possible to help them.

That’s called learning – it’s nice to do on occasion, just by yourself without yelling and screaming at people to help you, like a baby that needs changing.
