I think your site is FABULOUS. It’s certainly light and airy and very pleasant to look at. All your graphics and heading texts flow beautifully with the style. Nice.

Hi s3pt1k,
Your problem is that you don’t have the # in front of your headerimg line. Just insert that and you should be fine.

I like it. You may like to consider changing the sidebar font to something more like that used in your Google ads, in order to provide (a) more contrast with, and (b) greater prominence to, your main text column. Some additional bright colours here and there would help the overall feel, too, although I have to say it’s one of the nicest of its kind that I’ve seen. Good job!

<?php wp_list_cats; ?> is what you need. More info on the codex.

I use <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1'); ?> to list all categories with the number of posts. Just add in the other parameter variables from the Codex and you’ll be sweet.

Okay, I just emailed Richards1052 with this, but it will probably come in handy for someone else. No flames, please! This is what you need to do:

1. Create your 16 x 16 favicon and name it favicon (the extension MUST be .ico).

2. Save it to your public_html (aka a€?roota€?) directory.

3. In that same directory youa€?ll find a file named a€? .htaccessa€?. You must edit that by adding the following NEW line underneath everything else thata€?s in it:

AddType image/x-icon .ico

4. Save that file without changing anything else, then go to where your theme is kept: (minea€?s in public_html/wp-content/themes/[whatever my theme is called] but yours maybe in a deeper folder, depending on how youa€?re setup)

5. Once there, open the file that has all your meta information at the top (the title, character set used, etc). Minea€?s in a file named header.php but yours may not necessarily be a€| just look for the info in the HEAD section and thata€?s a good place to try.

6. Edit that file to include (ie; add) the following line (making sure that ita€?s INSIDE the HEAD section, and that you replace my URI with yours):

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.andrewcairns.com/public_html/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />

7. Thata€?s the end of the website end of things. Now head to FireFox and select the Tools/options/cache area. Clear the cache (this may take a while) then restart FireFox.

8. Click on your bookmark for your site and you should see the new favicon in both the navigation bar and the bookmark. You may need to click on it a second time. Open a new tab in your browser and click on your bookmark again a€“ this time you should see your favicon in there, too!

I just practised all this on my site and ita€?s working fine, now. The reason you have to add the extra bit into your .htaccess file is because Apache (running on many servers) doesna€?t recognise .ico the way some other server software does. WordPress typically runs on servers with Apache running. Youa€?ll never need to clear the cache, etc again: if you ever want to change your favicon just upload it so as to replace the current one and refresh your site a€| it should be visible in the nav bar, bookmark and tab (I just checked a€| it does work!).

Hope this has been a bit of a help for you. If you need anything else you know ehere to find me. :o)

Favicons must be 16 x 16 in order to work properly.

You can upload your 32 x 32 (or other sized graphic) and edit/re-size it here, or design your entirely personalised own icon here.

If you search Google you will find heaps of free favicons ready to use, too.

Once you have your 16 x 16 graphic, save it with the .ico extension and place it in your root WordPress root directory (ie; the one in which wp.config is located). Close your browser and open it again to your site’s URI and there it’ll be in the address bar. It will automatically be updated to your current bookmark in FireFox, but to work in IE you may have to either click on the old bookmark or re-bookmark it.

Email me directly if you feel you need more help but don’t want to post here about it.

I just look at your site in FF and IE and it does just what you wanted (ie; parent no bullet and the children indented). The only issue is the difference in depth of indentation — FF looks deeper than IE.

You must have changed something that fixed the problem since posting this.

It’s nice … colours are pleasing yet don’t distract from the photos themselves, easy to see everything, loads fairly quickly (possibly the header could drop a few % next time you save it). Only detraction is that without any text except lists, it’s a little bare. You may want to consider adding some asides here and there to break it up.

Okay, I installed it and everything works fine except: (1) checking the forums out suggests there are some stability issues with it. It works fine for me, except that it puts a bunch of warning messages on the stats page (although they don’t stop it doing its job). (2) My fix (since, like you, I don’t really want stats but just the numbers was to change the code in my sidebar to <p align="center"><?php get_useronline(); ?></p>. That is, delete the link to the stats page. Now I just get the numbers like you were after.

The installation is slightly tricky, but if you take your time you should have no probs. Email me directly andrew (at) andrewcairns.com if you need detailed, ongoing help.

I’m about to install it myself. It seems to be close to what you need.

Oh, thanks. I guess I’ll have to look for the plugin.

Just another 2 thoughts, Ringmaster. Would it be possible to somehow have a heading inserted above the links in each category so that people looking at “all” categories could easily see the different types on the one page? Also, is there some way of removing certain categories from the drop-down list?

Hope this isn’t a pain … your plugin rocks!

Works fabulously fine for me. I’ve been racking my limited brain for ages trying to figure a way of doing this without tables … now with three clicks it’s done! https://www.andrewcairns.com

Ringmaster, you’re my hero!
