Is it possible to have both English and French at the same time. I have a site where some users are French and some are American and each would prefer the interface in their own language. Can each admin user choose the language of the dashboard if the correct .mo and .po files are installed?

I would like to know if you can add multiple .mo and .po files to one site so that each registered admin user can choose the language of the dashboard themselves.

Bump

Well I am thinking of installing it alongside a regular WP blog, but maybe I am trying to complicate things a little too much.

I am creating a site for an independent distributor of Herbalife products. Just a few pages showing the products, how to contact the distributor, an about page, etc.

He wants a members only log in area where he gives his clients more value by sharing links and tips and even promotions. At first he thought he wanted a forum but I suggested this theme. His clients can share info as well and support each other.

When clients log in they will be taken to this part of the site. I imagine it will be a subdirectory but I am not sure how it will all work.

That is why someone might want to install this theme inside of another WP site. Maybe there is a better way to do what I am trying to do.

I’d love to hear ideas.

The plug in seemed to take a while to get used to but I think it is working fine.

I am having trouble because I would like to remove some categories and add some others but I can only do it one step at a time. It is useful but still time consuming.

The Batch Category plugin is showing errors in my logs though. Is this normal, something about links not working. I’m sorry I forgot exactly what it said.

So, if I wait for November and 2.7 what do i do?

Do I just install 2.7 using Fantastico?

What does that mean for my databases?

I’ve never done an upgrade except using Fantastico so I don’t know what happens behind the scenes with connecting the databases to the new installation.

Even a link to a good explanation would be helpful.

thanks I’ll check it out.

I have this same question but for other reasons, and yes I have an hourly back up emailed to me but I want to know if there is a similar way as well.

I decided to pare down my categories to 8 (from like 70) so I could keep my blog focused. I would use tags to be more descriptive. I deleted my categories because I assumed there was a way to Manage>Categories and select multiple posts and assign them the same category.

There must be a way to do this. WP has so many more advanced features that I must be overlooking how to do this.

The cheat sheet in the link above is great too.

After fiddling with Kubrick for a few hours yesterday, I think I too am going the route of, design the site like normal and then slice it up with the appropriate PHP calls.

I looked back and couldn’t find that list in lesson 1 of the tutorial I linked to, might you be talking about another tutorial. The only list in the 1st tutorial is a list of all the lessons you will do, not quite the same as essential files for all wordpress themes.

For all of you who start from scratch, is there a checklist of sorts that has all the files that are needed?

I did the tutorial in the link above but at the end what was missing was a list of the essential files for making a theme.

I’m going to try to modify Kubrick for one blog and then from scratch for another and compare the time and effort required for each.

Thanks for the help.

I was afraid someone was going to say just that. After using other themes and modifying I know this to be true. It takes a bit of testing to see what does what and that same time can be spent writing the code from scratch.

I guess I just thought that Kubrick is the default and that after modifying it a few times you probably come to know exactly what part does what. Then it might be easier to go from there.

Anyway, I’m curious how others do it.

I’m contemplating a less elegant soultion too, I’m thinking of of not using a static front page but an URL redirect. owenpeery.com redirects to the page I want and that way the blog page is there with no other modifications necessary.

Looking for this answer too.

I figured a few things out.

There is a div on the regular page called
#page_content

I copied all the css that included all the formatting and pasted it below where the #page_content was and then I went back and add a 1 after each instance of #page_content so it looks like this now

#page_content1

Then I went to the custom page I made in the theme editor and found after the first wrap div the next div was called #page_content so I just added the 1 after it so it reads now

#page_content1

I guess this means that when the custom page is served it looks for the css calls for #page_content1 in the stylesheet and therefore displays as I like it.

I sure brushed up on my css though.

One small problem still remains. Look at the bottom of the custom page. I no longer have rounded corners on the bottom. You can see where I’m guessing the images that make the corners are and then the main post area extends below it.

It is really a small thing and I can certainly live with it like it is, but . . . . . .
Any ideas how I can make the bottom of this custom page look exactly like the bottom of the other pages and posts?

.bottom {
	margin:0px auto;
	padding-top:30px;
	width:980px;
	background:url(images/bottom.gif) center bottom no-repeat;
	height:30px;
	color:#17394b;
	font-size:13px;
	text-align:center;
}

I think this is the code that styles the footer but I don’t know what to do to bring the content back up so the images align in the corners to give the rounded look. I never like using images to get the rounded look and this is one more reason not to use them. Javascript works much better.

I’m not sure if this is a solution for my problem but here it goes.

I have some custom pages that I added and I would like the sidebar to be gone. I removed the calls from the custom page template and I tried editing the css to make the main content stretch across the entire page to fill where the sidebars were. Well of course I wasn’t thinking and this changed the layout of all the pages not just the custom pages. How do I target just the custom pages?

I’m new to php but I am learning as I go along.

https://francetales.com
main blog page
https://francetales.com/links
main pages
https://francetales.com/testing
custom page. The footer floats to the right when the content doesn’t fil up the space, but even when I expanded the size of the div for the content the footer still went to the right and the rounded corners are missing. I only removed the sidebar call.

Help?!
