You know what would be sweet, I don’t know if it’s possible, but if the plugin would display a loading message and fetch the newest tweets as soon as a user opens the page–that seems a little better than cron to me, but you’re a lot better at this than I am and I’m really just impressed the thing works as great as it does.

Indeed I did. The only thing I can think of that might somehow effect it is that I moved the subcat block from the header to archives.php. Other than that I don’t think anything could have touched it. (standard godaddy setup) I’ll keep checking my plugins to be safe though.

Found what I need: FPW Category Thumbnails. Cheers gentlemen.

I’m looking for something with the functionality that AnotherOpus mentioned. Not that this plugin isn’t fantastic for what it is, but unfortunately I’m hunting for something that automatically gives a featured image to new posts in a given category. Thanks!

I think I’m having the same issue. I just posted a new topic but I’ll gladly move the answer from this one to the new one, or visa versa, so people can find this. Rjronakmax what’d you do to fix the problem?

Worked great. Thanks! Epic theme!

Figured out what I needed thanks to your suggestion Richie. Here is the code I ended up using to get my nav setup with custom colors that stick.


#custom #main-navigation .sf-menu li.current-menu-item a {
color: #fff !important;
background-color: #f87d06;
}

#custom #main-navigation .sf-menu li.current-menu-item a:hover {
color: #fff !important;
background-color: #f87206 !important;
}

#custom #main-navigation .sf-menu li a:hover {background-color: #f87d06 !important; color: #fff !important;}

Haha! Nevermind. The feature I was looking for is included by default, it just wasn’t turned on. Sorry. ??

That helped a bit but it didn’t get it running for me as well as I’d like. When I click to the posts page the buddypress menu formatting is all messed up. Any idea on how to fix that? I’m happy it kind of works, but getting the formatting uniform is pretty important.

To be candid, this seems like a feature a lot of people would like. I’m surprised there aren’t more plugins like this. I’m grateful this one exists, but I feel like I’m missing something obvious in terms of there being more solutions.

You’re the man. Thanks!

Thanks! It works for the main links, but not the sub links. I am using pages rather than categories; do I need to switch or do something differently in order to make the main tab stay highlighted when I navigate to sub pages of each tab?

Also, if you have time, about the second question pertaining to my google news feed being formatted funky, it was moved here: https://www.socialjusticenow.org/category/googlenewssj/ – Basically the excerpt is being stripped of it’s formatting somewhere along the line. I’d like to use the actual article text if possible for just this feed as it looks great once I click through to it.

Again, I wont be offended at all if we don’t get to the second question. Any help you give is very generous. Also, for the sake of anyone else reading this: MesoColumn is the best free theme I’ve ever used in my life–I’d call it a tie with the best non-gratis theme even. This guy Richie is a wordpress hero like none other–even if my question doesn’t get resolved, that’s the key thing to take away from reading this. ??

–and on the off chance someone could tell me how I can format my google news rss feed better on the front page, that’d be awesome too; but I’ll be more than happy if just my first question is responded to. ??

Found a solution to my second question, the only plugin that worked is called WP Filter Post Category in case anyone searches this thread for the problem I had there.

Unfortunately my first question about the highlighting is still unanswered though–not blaming the programmer; take your time, have a life, please. ??

Also, while I’m humbly bothering the wordpress community: Is there a way to make my index page only list 1 categories posts? All the plugins for this seem to be outdated, perhaps there is some PHP I can edit to include only 1 category id on the home page? -Although I did get this working one way, but then it limited my widgets posts too. Is there a way to just limit the content area?

Thanks again!!!

A friend suggested I try ifttt. It seems to be working ok, so you probably don’t need to waste any time on me. Thanks again for your help!
