Got it now. I did have it as a link but there was another issue which I resolved. Don’t understand it but it is fixed. Thanks

But it does not seem to work……it does not bring me to the article–just keeps me on the same page.
Any other thoughts?

Don’t know if it makes a difference, but I was not using “read more”, just a regular link. I am not clear on what the full link address is, though. I have a folder called ‘Articles’ sitting under ‘/public_html’–so what would the full address be? Right now I have ‘https://www.paullucey.com/Articles/Suskind.pdf’. Is that not the correct link address?

Thanks for your help. I think I will just realize my limitations and put the images directly into the page. I wanted to put them in the sidebar but that was mostly to balance the pages, and so perhaps I will just add other things to the sidebar. ( I hope you did not spend alot of time. I may try your plugin at some point when I feel more adventurous, but that is not now I am afraid. I don’t even know what a dynamic sidebar is…….)

Here is my sidebar.php if someone can give me a hand. I don’t really understand all the syntax. I tried to paste the code above in several places with no luck.

Well, I give up. I have tried adding the code in several places but keep getting syntax errors. I just want the photo near the top of the sidebar after the first text block. I am going to walk away from this for a bit and perhaps when I come back it will make more sense……………

OK, and the other stuff…………I assume it is the rest of the code that is needed but I am not sure if I have to do something with it or if it is “done”. You see, I am very much a beginner………….

OK, I built the following code:
‘<?php
$img = ”;
$img_url = ‘https://www.paullucey.com/wp_content/nggallery/sidebar-images/&#8217;;
if( is_page( ‘Home’) ) $img = ‘flag.jpg’;
elseif( is_page( ‘Areas_of_practice’) ) $imag = ‘gavel.jpg’
elseif( is_page( ‘Areas_of_practice/Insurance_disputes’) ) $imag = ‘policy.jpg’;
elseif( is_page( ‘Areas_of_practice/Civil_Litigation’) ) $imag = ‘steps.jpg’;
elseif( is_page( ‘Areas_of_practice/Serious_Personal_Injury’) ) $imag = ‘justice.jpg’; ‘

but am not sure where EXACTLY it goes in the sidebar1.php file and also what to do with this other stuff:

if( $img != ” ) echo ‘<img src=”‘ . $img_url . $img . ‘” alt=”” />’;
?>

DUH!. I will try to add conditional logic as you were suggesting, but can you tell me exactly where to put it? In the sidebar.php?

In the sidebar–a different photo on each.

Not sure why but my fatal error is no longer there.

I left out the site link-sorry

Not sure why but the link does not seem to be showing up though it is there when I post it………..

so, here is the site: https://www.paullucey.com

Awesome. Now I just have to make it a little smaller. Thanks alot. The next thing I will dig into is putting random images in the header instead of just that one picture……

I tried that code but it did not work. Can someone peek at my site and see why? Much obliged.

Ok first things first. Thought I would see if I could get just two images in the header, and leave the rotating part till I accomplished the first part. Below is the code from my style.css sheet but there must be something wrong. I did add “header2” as an image in the header.php file, and both header1.jpg and header2.jpg are in the right place. But only the original header image is appearing.

‘/* begin Header */
div.art-Header
{
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
z-index:0;
width: 980px;
height: 225px;
}

div.art-Header-jpeg
{
position: absolute;
z-index:-1;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 680px;
height: 225px;
background-image: url(‘images/Header1.jpg’);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
float: left;

position: absolute;
z-index:0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 300px;
height: 225px;
background-image: url(‘images/header2.jpg’);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right center;
float: right;
}
/* end Header */’
