I know you’re looking for a solution without a plugin, but I did find that the All In One SEO plugin did the trick.

Oh, sorry. I think that first URL is the URL of the post I’m posting to. I named it “replaceimage” as a test. Anyway, that’s the URL I’m getting when I look in the media library — when I click on “Edit” in the media library, and I look at the image page, the URL directly above the image gives me a URL like that: mysite(.)come/catname/postname/imagename. And that’s it. There’s no jpg at the end. And when I click on “View Attachment Page,” there’s nothing there.

Yes, you can still have a button that says Home that goes to the actual homepage. You just need to create it here: Appearance > Menus

Menus are VERY powerful, and they will let you get the navigation you want. They’re worth taking a little time to learn.

Right now when you create a new page, mostly likely it creates a new menu button for you automatically. That’s why you currently have a “Home” menu button (because you created a Page called home).

With the menu system, you can completely override that automation and create the navigation you want. You can also put customized navigation in your sidebar with widgets (calling in a special menu you made).

Leaning the menu system should help a lot.

Good luck with it.

Megan,

OK, let’s take these in the order you presented them.

1. OK, your permalinks are fine. Personally, I would take the date out of them because it’s supposed to be better for SEO, but if you want the date in them, then you can leave it. (I would still put the date at the end, however, not before the title. Again, it may help slightly with SEO.)

2. Yes, that’s your ACTUAL homepage. It seems fine.

3. That is just a page you made. You can delete it in your Admin area by going to Page > All Pages. Then just find it and delete it.

In order to get your menu that says “Home” to go to your actual homepage (https://www.thelyonsshare.org), then you’ll just need to change your menu. In your Admin area, go to Appearance > Menus. You can change it there.

4. I’m not exactly sure what you want here. When you’re on your actual homepage (https://thelyonsshare.org/), and you click on a title, it goes to the full length version of that single post.

You seem to be asking for a page that will show all your full posts one after another — i.e. like your homepage but with full posts instead of excerpts. Is that right?

If you’d like, you can set up your actual homepage to show full posts instead of excerpts. Personally, I would keep the excerpts because they’re easier to browse. Also, some seem to think it helps for SEO purposes because you don’t have your full post showing in two different places (this is called duplicate content and search engines don’t like it). Google should be able to understand what you’re doing, and they say they do, but what Google says it does is not always what it does in reality.

Anyway, it can be done by digging into the code a little and changing one thing. In your Admin area, go to Appearance > Editor > index.php. You’ll need to click the index.php file on the right hand side (also probably called Main Index Template) so that you can edit it.

Once you have that file open in the editor, search for the_excerpt and replace it with the_content. Save the changes, and that should do it.

Note – This will only do it for that particular theme. Also, if your theme is somewhat complex, then you may not find the_excerpt in the index.php file. If that’s the case, then it’s in another file that is being called into the index.php file.

Hope this helps.

Megalin – Exactly what is the page you call your “Home” page? (https://thelyonsshare.org/home/) … Is that a Page you set up (using Page function — i.e. NOT the Post function)?

Or is https://thelyonsshare.org/home/ a category?

If it’s a Page, your posts are not going to show up there. That’s not what Pages are for. They don’t pull in content from other places.

If the “Home” section is a category, then when you make a blog post, you want to make sure to put the post in the “Home” category. (I would advise making a category called “Blog” however if you want to do something like that.)

Anyone with ideas on this? Thanks.

Thanks, but nothing there seems to address this issue.

OK, thanks.

So I have to look for an other solution, because want to use the function on different menus. But there I can′t use “Automatically add new top-level pages” option enabled.

I wonder if there is some code you could put in your functions file to automatically check that when a new menu is created.

Of course it would be nice to have an option in the plugin for that — the ability to automatically make that checked (ON) or not checked (OFF).

Currently, Auto Submenu only adds new child pages to menus that have the “Automatically add new top-level pages” option enabled.

OK, it worked now. Thanks a lot.

Excellent! That’s perfect.

Thanks a lot, keesiemeijer. You’ve helped me solve a big piece of my puzzle.

Thanks for the reply.

The problem is there isn’t a relationship between the category and the user (not that WordPess knows about anyway – this is on purpose).

Also, because I will need to do this on a large scale, I need a somewhat automated way to do it. Therefore, in order to do something like this:

<?php $user_info = get_userdata(1);
      echo 'Username: ' . $user_info->user_login . "\n";
      echo 'User level: ' . $user_info->user_level . "\n";
      echo 'User ID: ' . $user_info->ID . "\n";
?>

I need to be able to easily and dynamically change the user ID above depending on the category, so I can put, for example, the user ID 1 for Category A and the user ID 2 for Category B, etc.

As I mentioned, I thought of using the category description box and then somehow working with the code that calls that:

<?php echo category_description( $category_id ); ?>

I thought maybe that I could go to the category description box for Category A and put in a 1 (for user ID #1) and then go to Category B and put in a 2 (for user ID #2), etc.

But I can’t figure out how to get that user ID number to print in the right place, i.e. in the $userID section of

get_userdata($userID);

Is there a way to get rid of these ads? This makes the plugin completely unusable in my book.

Hi – I’m not sure what you mean when you say that sending emails will come in the next release. Do you mean you will include an option for different places to send an email? … As I couldn’t get the messages sent in my test, I’m not sure where they are sent to now. I assumed it was to an email address (and I assumed it was to the email address).

As for the environment, it was just a regular install (latest version) with default WordPress theme.

“The plugin must not embed external links on the public site (like a “powered by” link) without explicitly asking the user’s permission.”

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/about/

Does this plugin explicitly ask for permission? I would say no. I’m guessing you would say yes.

So there you are.

p.s. You’re right. My title is misleading. It shouldn’t say charges a fee.
