Hello, I am using Bones for the first time, and am i ok to delete the SASS and LESS folders and just edit / use the normal styles.css file, as this is all you re-upload when using LESS (which i have tried first) anyway? Thanks!

* sorry the ‘works’ in the list item to be output was just for testing i know that’s not needed!*

I’ve now tried to code below, which works on the first ‘if statement’ of displaying the parent page link in my secondary side menu – when on the parent page.
The for the ‘elseif statement’ i’m trying to say; if on a childpage of this parent, still display the parent page link; but don’t give it a class of current page. This second statement does not work.

$parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
		if(is_page('page-2b')){
		echo "<li class='current_page'><a href='".get_permalink($parent_title->ID)."'>".get_the_title($parent_title->ID)."works</a></li>";
		}

		elseif (is_page('page-2b') || $post->post_parent=="20") {
		echo "<li><a href='".get_permalink($parent_title->ID)."'>".get_the_title($parent_title->ID)."works</a></li>";
                 }
		else {}

(this 2nd attempt is different to me instead trying to list the child pages on the second if/elseif as above)

Anyone for any suggestions pleeeeaaaasssseee? – I feel like i’m nearly there, but oh so far!

Many thanks ??

HI, thank for your reply – I’m not sure if the is_page would be inside The Loop – I am wanting to tweak an existing plugin Child Page Navigation with my extra code and there is no Loop in the plugin file…how would i find out if it would be inside The Loop or not? And your link doesn’t tell me what to use instead?

Many thanks! I’m not a PHP developer so it’s a bit of guess work on my part ??

I have just read on another forum that if you turn off off ‘rewrite URL structure’ under the minify tab, this clears the error message about Minify… is is adviseable to do this..?

Ah thanks, I’ll actually do this first before touching the .htaccess file myself – probably safer! Thanks again

Hi Esmi, yes tried all others that supplied, just have adding things to .htaccess file left to try – will let you know if it works!!! Thanks very much again, Lucy

Bluehost confirmed I am running PHP 5.2.17 single php.ini (not fastcgi)for my hosting, i looked at the post with the link as above and the only thing that could apply to me was the tweaking of the .htaccess file(never touched these before) – which i suppose is the next thing to try!

Hi Jason,

Thanks so much for taking the time in getting back to me!! One thing – if i set the excerpt length in my functions.php file, will that override any i have set in my page templates, which I currently have written in for a particular page…?
Thanks again!!!
Lucy

I have just found the same issue – the continue reading link goes to the home page and not the page where the excerpt is pulled in from….can anybody help with this?

Also – i cannot work out how to set the number of words displayed as the excerpt / the excerpt length – it seems to be 40 words as default. linkhousemedia – have you changed the excerpt length at all??

Many thanks!
Lucy

Great stuff, thanks for your continued help Esmi ??

Great thanks i’ve never heard of these – so I ask them to make sure PHP is in Apache mode? – I presume they should be as I use Bluehost and another which were recommended by WordPress.
Thanks
Lucy

I am still waiting to hear back form my hosting company on the issues i had on the first website yesterday, but now I am having the same issues with ANOTHER website which is hosted with a DIFFERENT company – trying to upload images and getting ‘Operation timeout’ or ‘HTTP error’ messages – seems a coincidence that both hosting companies are having server issues….?

I have tried this on both PC and Mac in different browsers, and both time have had strong internet connection, at Home 30GB Virgin media broadband and secondly at work in a shared office with high bandwidth connection….

I’m a bit scared of playing with the .htaccess file as know nothing about these but can see suggestions for adding bits of code to this on other forums.. sit this the next route to go down…?

Many thanks!

No but i will now and see what they say, thanks!

Hi nicholsj –

I too was trying to do the same as you, using a child theme for twentyeleven.

Also thinking that the page on Codex about Function reference / next link does not explain what the extra bits of code about twentyeleven are for, as per your code in the first post here, decided to try and take that out and go to the basics so i have used:

<span class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Previous', TRUE); ?></span>

<span class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', TRUE); ?></span>

And it seems to be working fone, only next and previous-ing to posts in the same category.

Let me know what you think!
