sorry, pls disregard.. I fixed everything.. even search-results pg…

it’s a good thing I have back-end experience…:)

thank you very much and sorry.. maybe some of the stuff in this thread will be useful to others…. ??

here
https://francesblog.com/home/?p=7

post is styled ok..

but here it isn’t..
https://francesblog.com/home/?cat=4

why is this????? ??

I mean in the second one even the

tag is being ignored…. why?

thank you very much….

what happens is in index.php I added code, mainly references to css classes.. like for example:

<div id=”pDate”>

<div class=”postBody”>

the ref’s to the classes here I added myself..

so: this only applies to index.php.. where do I find the code that is this same code for when you go to individual categories, etc.. there are no templates for those other ones, only for home page…

???

thank you…

I hadn’t realized that images show up only in home pg, but not in other pgs, for example.. https://francesblog.com/home/?cat=3

also the styles (for post-title, etc..) are different, how do I change this? (url ends in /?cat=3.. so how do I change this???) shouldn’t the css apply to all pages??

thank you..

I did go to the two pages you mentioned, but didn’t find info there, sorry.. it was not until you posted very specifically what I needed to do that I finally got it to work… it’s not for lack of trying… I also went to this pg, https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Main_Page did ctrl-find ‘images’, found nothing, put ‘images’ in search field.. first entry in results is https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Images.. this page, I think, is written mostly for folks who don’t know HTML.. it has a lot of general stuff re images, (images/css, how to wrap imgs around text, etc..)

again thank you very much for your help..

(next issue will be how to display Flash movies (mostly interested in YouTube videos… I believe you need a plug-in?? (i.e., <object> and <embed> tags also don’t work unless you do something special??)

thank you very much..

oh my gosh — FINALLY!! thank you!!

I don’t understand what this edit did but it did the trick!!

thank you very much…

(PS: I didn’t know that diff design templates had different sw-code.. I would have thought only template/interface code would change from design to design (HTML, CSS..) (and what is PITA??? ??

again thank you very much….

thank you… I found NO instances of “the_excerpt” anywhere, searched all files.. (have no main.php, only index.php, page.php.. also have index1.php, what is that one for??) but found plenty of instances of “the_content” (in archive.php, index.php, index1.php, page.php…)

for example: from page.php:

<?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this page »</p>’); ?>

so I still don’t know what I need to so images display, and WHY does normal HTML image-tag not work in Word Press?? ??

again thank you for your help…

I’m sorry, this is not very clear.. I don’t see in these pages what code I have to use instead of normal HTML image-tag to display an image…

would you pls be kind enough to tell me what code I need to put there instead of

<img alt=”photo of the day” src=”https://francesblog.com/home/wp-content/themes/pop-blue/images/10-16-07.jpg&#8221; />

so the image will display? this is how you display images in HTML.. I don’t understand why with Word Press this has to be different???

what tag(s) do I need to change, please???? WHERE? in index.php???

thank you….

my gosh, this is absurd…

can you pls tell me WHAT edits I need to make and where?? a blog index-template that doesn’t show images??????

most blog-pages have images!!! this is what I don’t get about blog-sw.. why do they make it more complicated than it needs to be?? why can’t a simple image tag with path to image work — on ANY page?? WHAT changes do I need to make, PLEASE?? and WHERE???? most blogs I see out there have images…. why is this sw written so that by default the index pg can’t display images?? sorry, I really don’t get this…

would appreciate more info here.. thank you….

I have another test-post there, with just text, it’s displaying fine.. https://www.francesblog.com.. code I have for img:

<img alt=”photo of the day” src=”https://francesblog.com/home/wp-content/themes/pop-blue/images/10-16-07.jpg&#8221; />

however, it’s not showing up.. (and the image IS physically at this location.. if I put this address in browser https://francesblog.com/home/wp-content/themes/pop-blue/images/10-16-07.jpg the image can be seen fine..)

(one thing I notice is I don’t see ‘publish’ button for this post, only saw it for other test-post I have there now..)

would appreciate some help here.. what am I missing??

thank you very much..

thank you very much.. yes, it was in Admin.. sorry, am not used to CMS editing!!! you keep saying that maybe I don’t know HTML or CSS well enough.. sorry, that’s not the case with me.. I do know all that stuff quite well, have been doing it for about eight years now and have always hand-coded everything.. (actually I first started learning HTML about twelve years ago, have been doing it professionally for about eight..)

thank you again for your help..

ok, upgraded to 2.3.. SOLVED!! all errors gone…:)

thank you very much..

the title appears where title appears, in between <title>…</title> tags in header.. url:

https://www.francesblog.com/home/

you see it in browser window, on top… where you always see the title…;)

what does “web developer” mean exactly? good question.. I build websites from scratch with JSP, struts/tiles, custom tags, XSL stylesheets… I hand-code everything, HTML, css, JavaScript, XSL (and do some JSP scriptlets too.. certainly in my personal stuff (www.francesdelrio.com) I have tomcat-hosting (for JSP) and hand-code all JSP scriptlets myself (equiv to what’s inside <?php….?> in PHP..) I also do some MySQL stuff…) example of a site I built: https://www.hdexpo.com/hdexpo/3550/index.jsp (design not mine, I write the code following the design-specs in Photoshop mockup…) does this qualify as a web-developer?? I hope so…:)

I’m new at blog-editing and find some aspects of it a bit confusing.. would appreciate some help.. pls, what did I do wrong when I switched themes that I get these errors????? thank you very much..

point taken, I’m new at blog-editing.. but you neglected to mention what I’m doing wrong.. I did follow all instructions when switching to new theme…

thank you…

sorry about what I mentioned regarding css code, was looking in css for default theme…. so never mind that (and yes, that img is there, where it should be..)

now, my img I mentioned initially is here:
wp-content/themes/pop-blue/images/

code: <center><img alt=”photo of the day” src=”https://francesblog.com/home/wp-content/themes/pop-blue/images/10-16-07.jpg&#8221; /></center>

I can now see it here, https://francesblog.com/home/?p=3 and here,
https://francesblog.com/home/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=3

but not here, https://www.francesblog.com/home

why not??

thank you…
