Great! The code I used is a carry over from older designs I’ve used over the years before WordPress supported automatic thumbnails, featured images, etc. out of the box. In other words, it’s pretty old.

Thank you for bringing it up to date and making it better!

Hi Derek,

Hmm, it’s been a while and can’t remember all the details, I’m sorry. I think “popular” was not a thumbnail size after all, but rather a parameter used in the code to query the images from the respective posts.

What formats the actual thumbnails is a class defined as “th” in the CSS stylesheet as follows:

.th {
	display: block;
	margin: 0 0 .5em;
}
.th.fl img {
	margin-right: 10px;
}
.th.fl img
{
	width:40px;
	height:40px;
	border: 1px solid #cfcfcf;
}

The text that accompanies the thumbnails (which would be the title of the posts) simply inherits the properties you define in the stylesheet for the sidebar text widgets, which is what I used.

Does this help?

Pure awesomeness!! That did the trick indeed. Thank you for your help and for responding so quickly. BTW, you are right, “popular” is a thumbnail size.

Happy Sunday,
Carlos

Contact your domain registrar and have them forward your domain name to his (i.e., set yours up as an alias of his or viceversa). You may be able to do it yourself through your registrar’s account management tools.

What will happen then is when visitors type https://www.yourblog.com, they’ll be routed automatically to https://www.hisblog.com.

Hope this helps!

Hi Edrico,

Here’s a plug-in that excludes posts of a certain category from the home page:

I haven’t used the plug-in, but I came across it today trying to do something else. For a list of other plug-ins that you may find useful, go here:

Thanks!

You can do that by adding an exclude parameter to the WP tag that invokes the categories.

Let’s say that the ID number for the category you don’t want to show on the home page is 20. You’d modify the wp_list_categories tag so that it reads:

<?php wp_list_categories(‘orderby=name&exclude=20’); ?>

For more info on how to modify wp_list_categories, go here:

Hope it helps!

I experienced the same problem and, just like everyone else in this post, simply could not find a viable solution.

I found the article below, which in essence recommends turning your visual editor off, writing the post with the embedded video, and then turning the visual editor back on.

It seems like a lot of work, I know, but I did it and got it to work. With all the problems I’ve had with the WYSIWYG editor, I think I’ll continue to work with the visual editor off.

Anyway, here’s the link to the article I’m refering to:
