Well, it seemed like it was working for a minute on a new version of my site, but hard to tell because I didn’t have any views! ?? But on my other site it just doesn’t show up. I ended up removing it anyway, decided I didn’t need to promote already popular posts and went more for a ‘you’ll probably like this too’ approach.

In fact, it’s absolutely perfect! Thanks so much!

That certainly looks like it will be handy! Thanks very much ??

Fan-blooming-tastic. Made my day a LOT easier. Thanks so much for the reply!

Superb news – I wasn’t sure if the place you install it first hardwrites certain info to certain files, making the order you do things more critical.

So I can install to /wp on my site, get it all looking nice, then follow the procedure in the page you linked to, skipping the bit where I move the core WP files to the sub-folder because technically I’ve already done that by installing it there in the first place, correct? (sorry, just want to be absolutely sure!)

Is this ease of moving a new thing? I seem to remember this time a couple of years ago the notion of moving the location WordPress ran from was a total nightmare!

Hi everyone,

I can’t believe that this functionality is missing from WordPress. I’ve seen so many people asking about it in various forums while searching for answers, and not a single solution that works. It beggars belief that such rich content management and blogging software doesn’t allow someone to place more than one image side by side, centered within the post width, without serious amounts of bodging code that doesn’t really work.

How do I get in touch with the people that actually code WordPress to make a plea for some recognition of this feature request?

Cheers!

I’ve got an addition to this: why doesn’t the WordPress image insertion tool allow a user to do this without having to get elbow-deep into a CSS file? It’s one of the most requested features.

I myself am struggling to work out how to place multiple images on one line and have them equi-distant from the sides of the post area. At the moment using floats appears to glue images to the left or the right and have text flow round them, it doesn’t allow you to place the two (or more) images side by side and aligned center with no text flowing around on either side.

Any tips?

Thanks but I’m afraid I don’t get how floating left or right will allow me to sit a pair or trio of images in the horizontal center of a post, all on the same line!

If there’s a specific tutorial in any of the links that explains that, it would be great if you could link directly to it because I had a look through all of them and couldn’t see anything pertinent to my ‘centering’ issue.

Cheers!

Okay, I’ve had a wee read of this page in the Codex: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Category_Templates

It seems to describe what you mean.

Thinking out loud, would the following work:

I somehow import my Pixelpost photoblog posts into my WP installation (monumental task but I think it can be done). I tag all those posts with the category “photoblog”.

I then use the principles outlined in the Codex above to style all my ‘photoblog’ categorised posts so that they look like the photoblog I currently have. This will probably require a lot of help from you guys but I know you’re up to the job ??

Does that sound feasible?

If so, is it possible to basically find an existing WP photoblog theme and lift the elements of presentation that I want from it and paste them into the template code for the ‘photoblog’ category?

Furthermore, will having the “YAPB” (yet another photoblog) plugin help with this? I’ve not looked into using that plugin alongside other WP posts which are *not* a photoblog.

If I can’t make this work with just one installation of WP there’s no point having two installations – I may as well just keep my Pixelpost setup in that case and forget the original plan. I think I can do it, I’ll just need a lot of help! ??

Heh – I’m afraid that doesn’t really help littl’ ol’ me!

Okay, concentrating on the ‘merging my two blogs’ aspect solely for a moment (as I can live with my portfolio being completely seperate for now):

My Pixelpost photoblog is in one folder (the root, as it happens, currently https://www.myglasseye.net) and my WP installation is in another (www.myglasseye.net/news).

I want to transform the myglasseye.net front page into a hub page, running Modularity for WP. On that page I want to display a selection of recent posts from my photoblog as a slideshow, and beneath that a selection of featured posts from my news blog.

To do the first element I would need to change my Pixelpost installation into a WP installation. That’s a big enough job on it’s own but I’ve researched that so I think I know what to do there. Then I could add a ‘photoblog’ category to my WP and set Modularity to display a slideshow of the last 5 posts in the ‘photoblog’ category.

The problem is that Modularity is a theme that isn’t built for photoblogs – insofar as I’d want to style my WP photoblog theme very particularly and I don’t think you can run two themes at once in one WP installation folder. You can add ‘pages’ like you can with any other theme, but I don’t think you can code a seperate ‘theme’ into those pages in order to work dynamically like my photoblog currently does – or can you?

So I’d assumed that in order to have two distinctly different themes running (one for the photoblog, the other being Modularity for the news blog) I’d need two installations, but that if I had two installations I wouldn’t be able to reference any of the photoblog content in the Modularity area, because, well, they don’t share any code.

Am I making any sense?

If someone can explain how I could have a very particular photoblog style blog running within a Modularity-themed blog so that one could be referenced within the other, or suggest a completely different way of achieving a similar end result in such a way that a WP coding n00b could understand, that would be helpful!

Absolutely no ideas on this one?

NetNewsWire syncs all my news from my NewsGator account these days, so I guess no, it doesn’t.

But then I don’t really know how newsreaders work. Isn’t the responsibility on the newsreader you use to check the feeds periodically to let you know there’s new stuff? That how NetNewsWire works, anyway. My Pixelpost installation on the main domain works fine and I didn’t have to tell it to go see anyone in particular when it ‘pings’. Perhaps it’s set up automatically.

What should I look into?
