Ok. This means I can’t use the wp_list_categories() function right?

Which also means that I would have to edit the sidebar.php file when somebody is added?

No other “automatic” way?

Hi Waterproof,

Your post are published is a div class=entry p

So in your theme style.css file put this code

.entry p {
  color: #000;
}

Thank you HandySolo for your answer but this won’t work. As I said in my post, I can’t use the normal sorting system.

For instance, right now I have

• editorials

• from our director
• from our president

I could reverse the sorting order and it would work for now. I want the president to be first, the director second.

But I expect that other members of the board of directors will want to express their opinion and their category could be their title or name. But I still want that part of my menu to start with the president and the director. What I want is something like this

• editorials

• from our president
• from our director?
• from Alain Dion
• from Louis Lapointe

Now, in ASC sorting order, I would get

• editorials

• from Alain Dion
• from Louis Lapointe
• from our director?
• from our president

In fact, what I need is to be able to decide manually the sorting order. Is this possible?

Use a home.php file in your theme. This will get called instead of index.php when somebody accesses you site like https://example.com. This file can be pure HTML if you want to.

Then, in that file, it’s up to you to put the links you want, including one to your blog (e.g. your theme index.php )

Hopes that helps! I’m nearly as new to WP as you but have a bit of PHP experience though!

Thanks a lot man. I’m in the process of redoing a static web site with WordPress (which I downloaded a few days ago and of which I know zilch) and I was wondering how to make it search friendly.

Your answer looks like THE answer (well, I hope). Thank you. I will not do this right now (still fighting templates) but I bookmarked the address.

I **love** the open source community. So giving…

PS I will give back once I’m on par with WP.

Thanks again Mike

@ivovic hi

Care to explain why widgets are bad? I’m totally new to WordPress but know a lot (enough?) PHP to read and write.

I did the BAD THING! Downloaded WordPress, installed it and started to make my theme right away.

So the question is: Why are widgets a BAD THING?

Lots of thanks for your time.
Louis
