In reply to: Please Help! Disappearing Graphic in IEDon’t use IE ? Smile. I am not sure why IE does the things it does, but you do have some validation errors involving divisions:

Maybe that will help ?

In reply to: Two Big Questions!You will probably want to start by reading the codex:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Stepping_Into_TemplatesIt will require some knowledge of (X)HTML and CSS; if you take the time to read the codex and do a little exploring, it is very feasible for anyone to customize their own theme.
The questions you ask all have answers but not simple one liners. Will take some steps. You could also search for a different theme entirely and use that without having to customize anything:

In reply to: Moving site from temp URL to its own domain, will it work?Before you move it, you will have to change the URI settings under OPTIONS to show the NEW address. Once you change the settings, you won’t be able to access it at the new address until it has been moved. I assume that the database is staying the same if you are staying within the same company … if you are creating a new mysql database, then you will need to make sure that the wp-config.php file references the new database location as well.

In reply to: Problem posting videos to blog – formatting goes crazyOne thing I try is to make sure there are not hard-returns at the end of any of the lines of code (wordpress will add
<br />
to the end of each one); also: try turning off the visual-rich editor; also: click on the “html” button and edit the html, removing all the hard-returns and whatnot.There is also a plugin for helping out with youtube — you’ll have to search for it though.

In reply to: Display Page AND Post ListI use this function:
<?php function include_page ($post_id, $filter=TRUE) {
global $wpdb;
$pages = $wpdb->get_results ("SELECT " .
"post_content " .
"FROM $wpdb->posts " .
"WHERE ID = " . $post_id);
if ($pages):
foreach ($pages as $page):
if ($filter):
$page->post_content = apply_filters('the_content',stripslashes($page->post_content));
else:
$page->post_content = stripslashes($page->post_content);
endif;
echo $page->post_content;
endforeach;
endif;
} ?>Then call it (
<?php include_page('2'); ?>
) above the loop in thehome.php

In reply to: Page Cuts Off Unexpectedly in IEYea – didn’t fix the problem … interestingly in IE I notice that when you page is loading (which it does slowly on this connection), everything loaded correctly and then jerked and disappeared as your sidebar was loaded competely …
Are you sure all your divisions are closed in the “post” area ? I had trouble counting them.

In reply to: Removing Search BoxesIf you post a link to your site, that might help with more specific questions … but, as it is, you can edit your template file and comment out (add:
<!--
and then-->
) the code for the search box … however, you are going to have to know enough about HTML to recognize the search form in the code and know what to comment out.Also, depending on how the theme is designed, it may influence the look of the theme as well.

In reply to: Page Cuts Off Unexpectedly in IEIt may be that your theme, it would appear, is adding a
<p>
tag before the comment body is inserted (which includes another<p>
automatically).Your source code is:
<p class="actualcomment"><p>Wow! Brilliant website! I really like it.</p></p>
Notice the double Ps ? That is a couple of your validation erros.

In reply to: Where to I place code that preceeds each page?Probably would want to put it in your header.php file in the theme you are using; then it would be called on every page of your site.

In reply to: editing comments section – queryYou will need to edit your template files to do that; there is a lot you can know (and also don’t have to know). The codex has good info:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Stepping_Into_Templates
If you scroll down, there is a link for info specific to Comments and CSS (style, color, etc).

In reply to: Display another intalls posts ?Sure – could do that, I guess. Hadn’t thought of that. Is there a plugin for that ? Thanks!
