Thanks vtxyzzy,

Ill take a look at that tutorial.
From what you wrote it looks like I’m doing everything correctly I might have messed my code up somewhere. I brought in my html menu, killed out the Ul and Li tags added the menu in where you suggested and I was able to rearrange my nav. Everything was working fine.
I then made my custom pages, changed the order parameter but those new pages still sit at the end of the page. I have to go back and reconstruct and see if I’m still having that issue.

Thanks for the response. I’ll check that video now.

I figured out what went wrong. I was using someones boilerplate blank theme and they for some reason killed that functionality.

I do have another question if you don’t mind. Once I do get my custom pages to show up I noticed they aren’t able to be part of the dynamic menu flow. They get placed at the end of the nav. Do you know what I could do to fix that or what to search for for an explanation. Thanks again for the response.

Here is another solution I found:

Do you mind if I chime in and ask how to take this one step further by adding an image into a teaser?

I would like to get a result close to this:
https://www.photoshoplady.com/

Any ideas?

I’m also looking for this exact solution. The look that I am trying to get is this: https://www.photoshoplady.com/

Might have found the answer in the form of a plugin. Have not tried yet though:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/

I really want to do this as well. If you find a solution could you post here and I will do the same.

Actually, let me clarify. What renato_s suggested above using the <!–more–> works but I need to add an image to the left and the post excerpt to the right the same way that https://www.photoshoplady.com/ does it.
So what I need is to have an image that is a certain size for every thumb nail that will appear in the excerpt post. The problem is that I need to figure a way to add a pre sized image to all my excerpt posts to keep a uniform size. Does anyone know where I can modify my posts? Any help would really be appreciated.

I’ve checked out and googled The Excerpt function and that is close to what I want to do but can I add images to the Excerpt like the ones found on: https://www.photoshoplady.com/

Is there a plugin that can help me out here? Or does anyone know how I would go about moding this myself? I don’t know any php but I know HTML and CSS pretty well. Any links with tuts on this? It seems to be a pretty common thing but I can’t find good documentation.

Ok, so I wrote that last comment and when I went back to post another comment it didn’t work, so then I tried this and it worked fine:

<p style=”align: left”></p>

That seemed to work because if you just add a
or <p></p> wordpress deletes those out automaticly.

Thanks, I’ll check these out.

This is so retarded. I can’t enter more than one line of space either and I have tried what sergiourra suggested. I have wasted so much time on this.

Ok, so I to have been having this problem. I think word press’s editor handles the formatting in a rather strange way obviously.

So what I did and figured out accidentally is this: once I had everything formatted in html in the html editor, I went to the regular editor and saw my post looked like it was rendered correctly but once I tested it it still didn’t displace the line breaks so I put my cursor in front to the first character of the second paragraph and I hit backspace until I was connected to the second paragraph and I hit enter once and tested again. I had a line break.

So if you hit enter more than once it’s not going to work. If you rely on p tags to give you a line break thats not going to work and either will break tags.

This has been a big waste of time trying to figure this out. Hope this helps the next guy out.
