In reply to: Listing categories with the post count included inside the link.Works beautifully, thank you for the code. Any Idea how to list them in this format with parent category hierarchy? I’m assuming whatever I need to add to this for parent/child will be somewhere in the docs.
Again, thank you, your help was very much appreciated.

In reply to: This forum does not yet support WordPress version 2.9.2This forum doesn’t support questions about post thumbnails yet or have documentation on their use. By the time it supports 2.9 questions, wordpress will release 2.9.3, only then will 2.9.2 be listed (but of course not supported yet).

In reply to: Changing opacity only on background of a divOlder versions of explorer can display png’s used as background images properly by using “png fix” scripts which there are plenty of out there. Try googling png fix for ie.

In reply to: Manage Themes & Site unformattedIf all you’ve done is move the index and then move it back it should still work, my only guess is that you made changes to the code inside of your header.php and it’s not attaching the style sheet and other attachments properly now. You may have missed and end tag or something inside the header that’s messing it up.
If the page is loading try running the source code through the w3C validator. Pretty reliable way to find small mistakes in the html.

In reply to: Different appearance for different post types?Create the look of the custom posts on the style sheet. Wrap the posts while you make them by using the html editor instead of the visual editor by starting off the post with “div class=”postcard” or whatever you created on the style sheet, then at the end of the post close the div.

In reply to: odd error with themeThe first one attaches the style sheet for a theme called wp-medical.
the next two I’m not sure but they are attachments as well.
The last one is on every WordPress blog and allows the page to be attached to WordPress and use it’s functions. They should be contained in the header file and I wouldn’t remove or modify them.Everything you’ve typed is missing the url in front of it.
The url is usually generated by php.This is how a normal header attaches a style sheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
This is how a normal header attaches a wordpress
`<link rel=”wlwmanifest” type=”application/wlwmanifest+xml” href=”<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml” />’Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: White background in wrap won’t extend to bottom of pageCool, you can just do that then I guess.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: White background in wrap won’t extend to bottom of pageThe reason is because the items inside the main wrap div are floating. This is a common problem for people using CSS. When an element is floating it does not cause the height of the div it’s inside to stretch. there are two solutions I’ve found. One is to skip the CSS altogether and create a table using html to separate and display your content and sidebars. Another is to create a div to place at the bottom of both floating items and give it the property of clear both in CSS which might not always work depending on the layout.
Another way is to create an outer div to center content and sidebars using margin auto on the left and right. Then create a div inside that with the same width and give it the property of position absolute, height auto, minimum height 100%. It’s a trick that works great for sites that use sidebars.
In this example you can add the background color or image to either one and remove it from the div’s placed inside it.
#outer-container {
width: 1024px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}#inner-container {
width: 1024px;
min-height: 100%;
position: absolute;
height: auto;

In reply to: Help needed : make second sidebar broadIt’s a simple css problem.
I didn’t look at your css file or the source code but know whats going on.If you want to make that second sidebar wider you need to make room for it.
The entire section that displays your content and sidebar needs to be widened to accommodate a wider sidebar. Then the main sidebar needs to be widened accordingly followed by widening the inner right side bar.Lets assume you want it widened by 50 pixels just as an example.
If that div for the smaller sidebar on the right is set in the current css to 150 it will say width: 150px, change the 150 into 200. Next the main sidebar’s div might say width: 300px, change that to 350. and finally the main div in your css file that decides your pages width usually named #content or #page (not the body) needs expanded by 50px.Every theme’s css is different so without going through it I cant tell you exactly how. If you feel like you understand what I said and want to apply it to your themes css file firs make a back up. copy past the entire css files text and save it just in case you can’t make it work and want to return it to how it was previously.
Also, you might have tables in place of divs, if that is the case you would need to change the width accordingly in the tables.
