Heheh.. I totally hear that! Well, I guess that’s a totally unintended “intended pun”.. ??

Hey Cyber,

I just came across something you might find interesting too.
It’s a function to put a time delay on sending a post to the feed.
I literally “bumped into it” just now and thought of your dilemma – if you want to check it out, it’s here: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/12/02/10-useful-rss-hacks-for-wordpress/

I’ve published my site, so here are some examples for what I’m talking about:

Here’s an example when there are previous/next links and how the navigation area css styling looks: https://www.sunnybalanga.com/blog/2010/10/09/wordpress-white-screen-of-death-upon-comment-post/

And here’s an example of a post that is the only post in its category. I have been able to style the navigations links as above without using margins, padding or width, but I had to keep the borders, and as you can see, they show up where the link navigation area is. https://www.sunnybalanga.com/blog/2010/09/26/in-the-works-for-wamp/

I’m hoping that since your plugin manipulates the navigation that it might be feasible for you to do something about this..

Another oops – I style the navigation are for previous/next links
Read: I style the navigation AREA for previous/next links

And hehe oops – that second example is here – https://www.sunnybalanga.com/blog/2010/09/26/in-the-works-for-wamp/

For completeness I wanted to share the short story is that there is a reason that this function is missing from the updated functions.php – the mechanism for displaying the page-title has been integrated into the header.php itself thus rendering the function redundant.

The long story is here for anyone who wants the whole story – https://www.sunnybalanga.com/blog/2010/10/17/does-updating-the-parent-theme-affect-the-child-theme/

(I’ve also amended the bug report.)

Yikes! How did I not see that? Thanks.. ??

Thanks James, I reported the bug.

Hi,

Thanks, again for responding.

I was going to say yes to your question above, but decided to check again. I Disabled the plugin ad lo and behold, the styling was still showing up.

WordPress does a good job hiding navigation for post pages, but a lousy job for hiding it on the single post view.

Seems that you can set background color to “navigation” and it won’t show if there are no previous/next posts (which made me believe no css would show), but if you set any margins, padding, width or border, the styling shows up and this has NOTHING to do with plugin.

That said, I now wonder even more if there’s something you could add to the plugin so as to eliminate the display of the “navigation” element altogether when there is only ONE post.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for answering.

This is the code for navigation links:

<div id=”nav-below” class=”navigation”>
<div class=”nav-previous”>
<?php previous_post_smart( ‘%link’, ‘<span class=”meta-nav”>’ . _x( ‘←’, ‘Previous post link’, ‘twentyten’ ) . ‘</span> %title’ ); ?>
</div>
<div class=”nav-next”>
<?php next_post_smart( ‘%link’, ‘%title <span class=”meta-nav”>’ . _x( ‘→’, ‘Next post link’, ‘twentyten’ ) . ‘</span>’ ); ?>
</div>
</div>

Here’s the CSS for class “navigation” – the problem is that the CSS shows up even when there are NO links:

background: yellow url(/images/overlay.png);
border: 1px solid black;
