There is a problem in your wp-config.php file on line #1. Look for whitespace or a line break. There’s probably a blank line at the top of the file.

I’m confused…is your whole site a WP blog? If you’re whole site is already a WP blog, then you need to put some code in the template for your front page to pull in the latest post, or whatever post you want to show there. Then, you’ll have the latest post on the “home” page you have designated, and all of your posts on your “blog” page.

Something like the code below should work. Where it says, your_class_here you would put in the class name you want for each of the six backgrounds. Leave the quotes around it. So, an example would look like:

echo ‘class=”red”‘;

or

echo ‘class=”blue”‘;

For red background or blue background, but whatever your classes are named.

<ul>
<?php
  $i = 0; ?>
  foreach ($comments as $comment) :
  $i++;
?>
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"
  <?php switch ($i % 6) {
    case 0:
        echo 'class="your_class_here"';
        break;
    case 1:
        echo 'class="your_class_here"';
        break;
    case 2:
        echo 'class="your_class_here"';
        break;
    case 3:
        echo 'class="your_class_here"';
        break;
    case 4:
        echo 'class="your_class_here"';
        break;
    case 5:
        echo 'class="your_class_here"';
        break;
  }
  ?></ul>

You would do it the same way as the even/odd method…except, instead of seeing if the number is even/odd, you need to use the “modulus” (%) operator with the number 6. “modulus” returns the remainder after one number is divided by another number.

So, you would loop through your posts, incrementing a $count variable.

Then, when you’re ready to set the bg color, you would use a switch statement:

switch ($count % 6) {
    case 0:
        // do stuff for sixth background here
        break;
    case 1:
        // do stuff for first background here
        break;
    case 2:
        // do stuff for second background here
        break;
    case 3:
        // do stuff for third background here
        break;
    case 4:
        // do stuff for fourth background here
        break;
    case 5:
        // do stuff for fifth background here
        break;
}
?>

Worked perfectly! Setting topic to resolved ??

Alism, it’s kinda funny that we both reformatted the code the same way though. I felt a little nerdy indenting the code. ??

Dirt2, glad it worked!

I’m not a php master, but it appears as if you have an orphaned “else” at the bottom of this code. That’s probably why it’s always loading the last template. Also, is there any reason that you have an if/else for each template and they are loading the same php file?

Try this:

<?php
  $post = $wp_query->post;

  if ( in_category('72') ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/fonts.php');
  }
  else if ( in_category('97') ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/brushes.php');
  }
  else if ( in_category('71') ) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/vectors.php');
  }
  else {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single2.php');
  } ?>

You just need to install WordPress in a subdirectory

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress#In_a_Subdirectory

Then, you’ll need to add a link or menu item to your website that points to your blog.

ie https://www.yoursite.com/blog

The blog will remain contained in the subdirectory and you can do whatever you want with the rest of your site ??

Edit: I just noticed that the previous poster suggested the same thing at the end of their post. Sry, I missed it somehow.

Here ya’ go!

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

Basically, all of your pages, except the “blog” page will be static pages. You set one as the front page and the others will show on the menu.

If you want a link to your blog page within the front page, then you just create a link and point it to the blog page.

example:

<a href="www.yoursite.com/blog">Check out my blog</a>

“blog” would be whatever you name your blog page.

Category Parameters

Show posts only belonging to certain categories.

* cat
* category_name
* category__and
* category__in
* category__not_in

Show One Category by ID

Display posts from only one category ID (and any children of that category):

query_posts(‘cat=4’);

Show One Category by Name

Display posts from only one category by name:

query_posts(‘category_name=Staff Home’);

Show Several Categories by ID

Display posts from several specific category IDs:

query_posts(‘cat=2,6,17,38’);

Exclude Posts Belonging to Only One Category

Show all posts except those from a category by prefixing its ID with a ‘-‘ (minus) sign.

query_posts(‘cat=-3’);

This excludes any post that belongs to category 3.

Multiple Category Handling

Display posts that are in multiple categories. This shows posts that are in both categories 2 and 6:

query_posts(array(‘category__and’ => array(2,6)));

To display posts from either category 2 OR 6, you could use cat as mentioned above, or by using category__in (note this does not show posts from any children of these categories):

query_posts(array(‘category__in’ => array(2,6)));

You can also exclude multiple categories this way:

query_posts(array(‘category__not_in’ => array(2,6)));

I’m not sure I’m following you properly, but I’ll give it a shot.

First off, let’s start with the confusing posts & order. I’m wondering, did you mean for categories Copy&Content, News, Politics & Web to be sub-categories of Portfolio? If you make them parent categories instead, I think you’ll get them all grouped the way you like. You “home” blog page, ie. “Blog Posts” on you site, will always show a mixture of all categories (in descending date order) unless you customize it.

As far as your links go, your template needs to have the proper code in it to support the link categories. You may want to switch to a newer/different template so that you can see how it should lay down.
