Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How do I code a theme like this?I guess actually it is the same loop twice but with the addition of ‘filter by author x’ on it. css colour codes the results…then a custom wordpress page for each with their colours.
Try doing a search for plugins on show posts by author for teh front page:

In reply to: File Not Found when using Static Page as Front pageI do not see a file called resume-rolando-garza-en.pdf but I do see a resume-rolandog-en.pdf.. could this be the issue?
The correct address would be:
https://rolandog.com/wp-content/uploads/resume-rolandog-en.pdfForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: page id numbersforgot to say – from within admin!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: page id numbersOk theres probably a more ‘correct’ way of doing this but in my browser window I simply turn on my status bar (one at very bottom) – and when I hover over a post or page title it shows me the number at the end of the string in the status bar…

In reply to: New Category Won’t Show UpThat’s not very professional of your web developer!…
If you don’t have a homepage under pages – then it is most likely to be index.php file where this code appears (but without knowing the theme I cant say for sure).
If there is no code there referencing categories it may be this was built as a special function? Hopefully the people you bought the theme from can help… If you can – paste the index.php and functions.php pages here – maybe someone in the forum can spot the issue…Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: New Category Won’t Show UpDid you build this theme or purchase it? if you purchased can you direct us to the download so that we can check the code.
You can access your theme from dashboard by going to Appearance > Editor to search for the file. Looks like may be a custom homepage file (but you can check which file it is by going to pages and checking which template file the ‘home’ page uses)…..
If you are going to make any changes TAKE A BACKUP OF ALL WORKING FILES FIRST!
looking at the source code – it isn’t actually grabbing a category but it is showing the template for that bar.
Good luck

In reply to: can this be done in WP 2.9.1I believe you need to look at ‘Anchors’

In reply to: New Category Won’t Show UpHave you actually added a post to this actegory yet? – Some themes have a ‘do not display unless they have posts assigned’ code to them…

In reply to: How to add “previous entries” and “newer entries” to postsI guess you have got as far as using this code for the links?
<span class='older'><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries'); ?></span> <span class='newer'><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »'); ?></span>
Have you also added the code to your archives.php file and page.php file as it is not present by default… (am assuming is the same issue for the ‘add this’ issue)…
Hope that helps

In reply to: Changing the image behind the date in post?Just open up your theme folder (presumably located at https://thr33things.co.cc/wp-themes/yourthemename) and have a look for the image folder. Download to your local machine and change all images to what you would like them to be.If you wanted it to be removed altogether – check the css sheet for that theme…you will be looking for the .date style…hope that helps

In reply to: remove automatic formatting on Excerpt boxwhile helping someone out with their problem I found an acceptable workaround to mine. Instead of using the Excert box for the thumbnail lead in I am using a custom field and now it validates nicely…
Just in case you need it here is what works (thumbnail image click to post)
<div class="post"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php $values = get_post_custom_values("thumbnail-name"); echo $values[0]; ?></a></div>
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: code to show only thumbnail of particular categoryNB: Please make a backup of your page template before trying this:
This is something I use in my template to show my last 4 posts from the work category (displaying only an image that links to the posts) and have modified to show the last one post which I hope will also work for you:
<?php //get posts from category named work $categories_to_include = get_cat_ID('work'); $the_query = new WP_Query('cat='.$categories_to_include.'&showposts=1&orderby=post_date'); ?> <?php while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?> <div class="postWrapper" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <div class="post"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php $values = get_post_custom_values("thumbnail-name"); echo $values[0]; ?></a></div> <p class="postMeta"><?php edit_post_link(__('Edit'), ''); ?></p> </div></div> <?php endwhile; ?>
change category from work to name of your category
change thumbnail-name to your custom field nameHope that helps get you on right track…
