That will get you an array of posts – You’ll want to take that and create an array of post id’s, then feed that array into the ‘post__in’ arg of WP Query. That way you’ll be able to use pagination, and other nice features.

Unfortunately – it doesn’t look like this is possible from the panel. Are you set up with a Child theme, or a custom css plugin? if so, paste the following in:

#mid-section #featured-post-1, #mid-section #featured-post-2, #mid-section #featured-post-3 {
display: none;
}

That should hide the featured post area.

For the events, I think the best solution would be to choose the template with out a sidebar.

Let me know how that works

ahh. Do you have a child theme, or an area where you can paste in css?

.main {
background-color:#000000 !important;
}

where #000000 is the hex of your desired color?

are all the dropdowns for posts/categories set to “—choose—” ?

Also pasting in the link to the live site would help for debugging, as well.

Have you visited the “Theme Options” link in “Appearance” from the dashboard? It looks like there’s a tab for “Home page” that might be able to help with removing the “Featured Posts” and “Events” Sections.

Isn’t there a “Body Background” selector in the theme options?

Yeah – You’re going to want to set up a local wordpress site. You don’t run the plugin by accessing the plugin files directly. You activate the plugin from the wordpress dashboard, which tells WP to load your plugin’s actions and filters and custom functions in the initialization of the request. Then, with your plugin’s functions loaded, you fix bugs, add features by editing the plugin files, then accessing the WP install to see if things are working properly. This enviroment should be local, so you can get quick feedback when you make a change. Development version needs to be seperate, because part of the process is breaking, and fixing the site. When there’s an error in your plugin files, the whole site is inaccessible – fine for a local version – not so fine for a live site.

Hi!

I’d say you should be able to view the archive page of your particular tag by viewing the <your site.com>/tag/<your tag>

That’s probably the best way to see a listing a of posts related to a perticular tag.

If you need to view the posts on a page specifically, there are a few options. something like this might work: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/

if you need more control, I’d go the route of a new page template for each specific case, which would give you the ability to make more comprehensive markup changes. You’d need to my a custom query with your desired args, and loop through the entries.

let me know if you have questions –

Yes – that will work. Rename it, then go the Settings -> Permalinks and change the setting to “Default.” Check the frontend of the site, and see if you’re able to load the site. If so, set up the permalinks according to your preferences.

yoursite.com/wp-admin should get you back to the Dashboard.

From there, go to Appearance – > Themes to manage your themes.

Try to reactivate the theme you had activated before.

there should be a folder in plugins for that plugin, that you can delete.

Is the page, itself visible on the frontend, if you select the default template for the page?

OK – I’d try to reactivate the old theme that you were using before. Any theme settings you had set up previously should come back.

You also need to make sure your child theme has been activated in Appearance -> Themes
