Easy to fix the width….

Found the “content” css, and simply created a new one copied of it, but with a new name, and then went to the div in the new_template_page.php and changed the div id name from “content” to my new name.

oppy… I think I just solved by own problem.
I just deleted the “left” sidebar above, and that apparently solved the problem.

The sidebar now is gone!

hmmm…. Don’t know why the original had the left and then right sidebar designations? Anyway, working now. Now I just have to figure out from the other threads how to expand the page.

Thanks Matt…. It’s good to know what’s going on now.

Also, can you give us the link to the development version of this?
Just would like to see what it’s looking like.

Thanks.

BTW…. Is it possible the “design” might be updated a little bit to a more modern look but keeping the same “archeological/scholarly” feel?

Because I’ve realized it’s actually an old generic looking theme now, and even though I don’t want too, I’m likely going to have to go to another theme. I’ve found one that might work, but I still miss your themes archeological style, but I can’t find anything more modern that is like yours. This is the current one I’m think of using. https://www.ldsfaqs.com

BTW… I remember once finding their “development” page for this theme, but now I can’t find it. Although, it was just the them itself, that they worked on, not any way to download.

Do you know where or how you found it at all?
Like, what search terms, what websites were you checking? Anything?

Any kind of clue might help me find it myself.

Hey…. Where did you get 2.0…???

I’m not seeing it anywhere?
They were supposed to release a new version a long time ago, but no word at all.

Hello, still looking forward to the new version. It’s been a couple of months already since you said the new version should be ready in a week.

But it’s okay. I’m sure it will be perfect once we get it.
I’m still not ready to produce my material yet anyway, set back because no job and tons of money being spent fixing car, so I still can’t get my new computer anyway so I can produce the videos.

So really, don’t know why I’m trying to rush you. haa haa
I’m behind myself. ??

Thanks….. Hmmmm…. Looks iffy.

Oh well.

She said the Pagination doesn’t work on her version of WordPress.

What is your version of WordPress?

I second that request…. Can we view any kind of media in a lightbox?

Many Themes over at ThemeForest has this functionality.
Trying to find a plugin that works like those themes in viewing Media in a Gallery listing, especially a “Categorized” one.

UPDATE: Turns out the instructions were wrong/not clear and actually in fact what happens is simply the Category ID (not in fact every post ID) is placed in the field, thus causing the Page to “act” like it’s a Category or similar.

Anyway, false alarm…. However, I would still recommend to make things even simpler so finding an ID doesn’t have to be done, that the changes I’ve mentioned still be done, to make it work more intuitively.

Anyway, the below is my commentary….

Thanks guys….

CRAP …..! haa haa

Sorry about all that ranting. I just installed your script to another site and this time I just let it install, and time out, and then I saw that basically most of your content WAS in fact there, so I looked over how things was set up, and I made a mistake.

From your instructions in the documentation, it made it seem like that when we created the portfolio page for the columns, and then we created posts, that we had to go back to that page, and add every posts category ID to the column page.

But, looking at your code, that’s clear not the case, you are just ID’ing the Portfolio category. You might want to clear up your instructions a little, I was FREAKING ! haa haa

Turns out it works exactly like I was thinking it should, save using the Category ID to refer (transmute) the page as if it’s a category page. Makes sense now….

Anyway, ignore my rambling about this issue…

Yuck, okay thanks…. I’m old school pre-css days. It’s like Web Development is going backwards instead of forward. Supposed to get easier not harder. haa haa

Me thinks there is…. And I would think it’s pretty easy? Thanks much. ??

No, no confusion. I’m complaining about the way WordPress should work, which would yes as a result make what I’m trying to do with a particular theme actually work.

Yes, I saw the page on Category_Templates, but that’s only part of the issue. Though, I will look into it more to see if that might be a work around solution, but really, I don’t have the time to become a coder.

It facinates me how one of the purposes of something like WordPress is stupposed to make things easier, well it really doesn’t unless you pay someone to do all the work for you.

Anyway, just saying that the Category section should work the same as the Page and Post sections, then it’s easy to create child relationships, designate ID’s etc.

I’m a layman looking into this. as to what it should be doing.

Here’s more…. Maybe someone here could answer?

BTW, I’m using this theme https://themeforest.net/item/deshadow/156975, so this is what the discussion is about. And my website is here, so you can see what I’ve done https://www.ldsfaqs.com. Click the sameple page link, to see more.

Okay, so after my rant above a related question….
When I was setting it up like I was, it was able to “auto” fill my Portfolio (i.e. Media files) into the Homepage. Easy thing, just when making a post, select that Category and Category’s you wanted that post to fall under, and that was it. Thus, it was all automated.

But now, per the instructions, if I want my media to be listed in the Portfolio (Media Page) I or the person posting content has to “manually” go into the Page section, select my “Cat1” page and post the ID# of EVERY SINGLE POST that we want to show in the Portfolio (Media Page)???? In other words, we would have to do this for every single post we made.

I was wanting all my posts that had media in them, to show up in a media page, and in the Homepage, without too much complexity.

This is ridiculous…… Is there any way to get around this? I mean, I had gotten around it, but I would like my media files to show up in a nice pretty 3 Column Template page, not as a normal blog listing.
Any thoughts?
