Konstabel

I found the problem.

My search loop was empty. By adding a WP_Query search before I managed to get posts, and then their excerpts.

The empty query was due to the page address (I am making a custom page).

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('define your own query');
    if($the_query->have_posts()):
        while ($the_query->have_posts()): $the_query->the_post();?>
	    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h2>
            <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?><p>
	endwhile;

	else:
	    echo '<p>Nothing found</p>';
	endif;
?>

Perfect thanks.

Before I was not able to scroll the page if the content was too much.

For reference, the final code:

body {
    background-size:cover;
    background-image: url(../images/background.jpg);
}

Thanks GC,

90% of what I am looking for. I tried it on a test .html document and gives me what I want. But when in WP, nothing happens.

For the other 10%, how do I run this script on a specific post?

I added your script to my header.php file, and made the necessary changes to my index.php.

Below an exerpt of my index.php:

<nav>
<ul class="h1list"></ul>
</nav>

<article class="content"><!-- /content -->

<?php if(have_posts()):
	while (have_posts()): the_post();?>
	<article class="post">
		<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h1>
		<?php the_content(); ?>
		</article>
	<?php endwhile;
	else:
		echo '<p>Geen joernaal inskrywings gevind nie</p>';
	endif;?><!-- /the-loop -->

</article><!-- /content -->

Hey Bob,

Thanks for your reply. Programming the CSS or finding the file is not my problem.

I tried amending the body tag through CSS to include a picture, but it did not work.

This is the code I did try:

body {
   width: 100%;
   height: 100%;
   background-image: url(../images/background.jpg);
   background-color: #EEE;
}

Changing the colour though, does work.

If I activate add_theme_support( 'custom-background' ); I can add an image through the admin panel, but it does not cover the full screen.

Thanks for your help!!

I found the problem. 'jQuery' is case sensitive. I used 'jquery'.

Why is the jQuery option better?

Hi Neo,

Thanks for your reply.

I got it working by removing the e.preventDefault();.

I tried implementing your suggestion, but I must be doing something wrong.

This is what I did:

<script>
jquery.noConflict()
(function($){
  $('#navigation a, #fixedheader a').on('click', function(e) {
  });

  $(window).on('scroll',function() {
    var scrolltop = $(this).scrollTop();

    if(scrolltop >= 65) {
      $('#fixedheader').fadeIn(500);
    }

    else if(scrolltop <= 60) {
      $('#fixedheader').fadeOut(50);
    }
  });
})(jquery);
</script>

What am I not understanding?

Finally I got what I wanted:

<?php
  $args = array( 'numberposts' => '1' );
  $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );

  foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
  echo '<h3><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' .   $recent["post_title"].'</a></h3>';
  echo $recent["post_content"];
  }
?>

My very next search got me a solution to post content but not the correct contents.

I added the line echo $post->post_content;

The complete code now reads:

<?php
  $args = array( 'numberposts' => '1' );
  $recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
  foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
    echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '">' .   $recent["post_title"].'</a>';
   echo $post->post_content;
  }
?>

Would still like to hear your comments.
