make sense? So say I wanted to display all the galleries in ‘album1’ in a sidebar. how?
you can see what’s going on here:
https://www.delnorteoutfitters.com/temp/?page_id=13

I want those galleries in the sidebar. They are on the left because I used **[album=id,compact]** in manage/page. But the right side is a sidebar template and **[album=id,compact]** doesn’t work from a template.

closest I found to an answer:

I don’t see a sidebar. If you want your links at the top, just cut that portion of the HTML and paste it where you want them.

do you have a url for us to look at?

yoshi-
Thank you so much, that works perfect.
This is much more efficient and actually makes sense when you look at it. I’ll have do some reading on the $wpdb-> thing, cause it looks like I could learn some things.
Thanks for taking the time to read, understand, and help me.

Thanks to Otto and rudolf also for you help

sure. Although, I think I understand what is going on.
But let me describe in detail.
Under “previously” is 3 entries made PRIOR to the last posting date.

So you can see: https://www.oswaldtrading.com/testing/
the main post “… 19” is on 4-24
then I have under that two more post from 4-24 “…18” “…17”. So these 3 post were all on 4-24.

Then under “previously” is 3 post made prior to 4-24.

What I think is happening is…
I created the category-index page on 4-25, so my query is returning 4-25, and I have no posts on that date. So I think by tomorrow, everything will work itself out, I’m hoping at least.

The way I have it set up is I have wordpress set to only show 1 post. Then I scratched together some PHP that checks to see if there are any more post from the same day as the last post, if there is it will show them under “Earlier…” with an excerpt.

Then in my sidebar It get the total number of posts made on the last date there is a post and sets that number as the offset and displays 3 posts prior to that date. Make sense?

I just think its not working correctly right now because I created the category-index PAGE on 4-25. If I change the date of the last 3 posts to 4-25, then everything works how it should.

Although, it may be that I need to change the date of category-index page. Which I don’t know how to do. Any ideas on that?

Thanks for looking. Sorry if this is long and confusing.

We don’t read this forum moment by moment. It’s not like we get paid to help you, you know. So don’t expect a quick response, please.

I realize this, believe me. I at least wait 30 mins ?? Surely you understand like all of us how frustrating it can be when your stuck, and all you can do is sit and wait for a response on this forum; not knowing if it will be 5 mins. or 5 days.

And I’d be happy to pay you or anyone that can solve any issue I have, seriously. In fact, I would rather it be that way. If your interested, let me know.

Edit the database, change the post_date and post_date_gmt for your page’s post.

uhhh, apparently you missed my whole “i’m not a database programmer” comment. I have no idea how to modify the database. However, I am looking into this plugin as a solution… would you know how to change the PAGE’s date with this:

does this just display the date of a page?
Can you change the date a page was created?

I’m in the wordpress IRC channel if any of you smart guys would like to help me out with this in real-time ??

as you can see, i’m getting desperate

Any ideas here? I don’t have a clue with this PHP stuff.
I just copy and paste bits and pieces I find from support topics or the docs that do what I need to do.
So if I don’t find answers here, then that’s it. I’m a designer, not a database programmer.

I just want the category sidebar to look exactly like the index sidebar.

Is it showing 2007-04-25 because that’s the date that I created the category-index PAGE? If so, how would you change the date the page was created?

Do you *have* any posts made on the 25th?

No. But why is it returning 2007-04-24 on the index page
and 2007-04-25 on the category-index?

Do you see what I want to happen?

I want the same 3 posts listed under “previously”, I don’t want that to change at all.

Otto-

Try something for me:
echo get_the_time($likedate);

Ok. On my index page it echo’s: 2007-04-24
On the category-index it echo’s: 2007-04-25

You can see it on the two links i’ve listed above.
The first number echo’d is the value of $count.

otto-

If you only want Posts, you need to add “AND post_type=’post'” to your where clause.

Ok, I added that.
If you look at: https://oswaldtrading.com/testing/category-index/
you’ll notice in the sidebar “previously” the $count echo
is showing 0 now because their are no post ON THAT PAGE.
But I want the the entries under “previously” to be the
same 3 as on the index page. How do I do that?

1. You don’t need a “category-index” to list posts in a catgeory. Category Templates just do that for you out of the box.

I just wanted to list the categories, not their posts.
