wildbug

Thank you for responding, but I think it’s too far over my head. I’m not a programmer so I really need a plugin or code spelled out for me. I’m so surprised it’s not a plugin or in the support forums because it seems like it would be a common request and fairly simple to do. I hope someone else can help!! ??

Sorry for the confusion. My intent was to display individual category archives with just posts from that specific category, only some categories archives would use a different layout. Since I could not figure it out, I came up with a compromise for myself, and used the same template for all but just made the attachment photo much smaller to condense the lists, which is what my ultimate purpose was.

Thanks for that! I actually should’ve known that. I was in that thread but I thought the bug was fixed for version 2.8.4 so I didn’t bother checking it.

Redoing the upgrade did nothing, FYI.

Did you find an answer to this? I am trying to do the same thing but I can’t get it to look right…

Can anyone help me resolve this?? It’s probably simple but I’m not a programmer and don’t know how to do it. THANKS!!

That’s odd. I have no problem accessing my site.

Just the image:

<p style="padding-left: 4px; padding-top: 6px;"><a href="https://www.danceinthefire.com/shop"><img src="https://danceinthefire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/shop-Planet-Thrive-Logo_200.jpg" border="0" width="180px"></a></p>

Very strange….any ideas?

I’m seeing it in both FF and Safari. It’s in the right column, below the Google ads, under the brown “shop PT” logo – green header says “Healthful Living”…there are 2 occurrences of it.

Can anyone offer advice on how to fix this problem??

Thanks for your solution. That requires making 15 new category php documents but I guess I will use it if no one has a more efficient fix…I’d rather just edit the one template. Anyone else have any ideas? Thank you!!

Thank you!

Actually, I had tried to follow the KISS approach, I just don’t know how to execute it! ??

This is the code in the archive.php that came with my theme:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<!-- BEGIN content -->
<div id="content">

	<!-- BEGIN recent posts -->
	<div class="span cbox arc">
	<?php if (have_posts()) : $count = 0; ?>
		<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
		<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
		<h2><?php fs_lang("Archive for "); ?> <strong><?php single_cat_title(); ?></strong></h2>
		<?php /* If this is a tag archive */ } elseif( is_tag() ) { ?>
		<h2><?php fs_lang("Posts Tagged "); ?> <strong><?php single_tag_title(); ?></strong></h2>
		<?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
		<h2><?php fs_lang("Archive for "); ?> <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?></h2>
		<?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
		<h2><?php fs_lang("Archive for "); ?> <?php the_time('F, Y'); ?></h2>
		<?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
		<h2><?php fs_lang("Archive for "); ?> <?php the_time('Y'); ?></h2>
		<?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
		<h2><?php fs_lang("Author Archive"); ?> </h2>
		<?php /* If this is a paged archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) { ?>
		<h2><?php fs_lang("Blog Archives"); ?></h2>
		<?php } ?>
		<ul>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $count++; ?>
		<li<?php if ($count==1) echo ' class="first"'; ?>>
			<a class="attachment" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php fs_attachment_image($post->ID, 'thumbnail', 'alt="' . $post->post_title . '"'); ?></a>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
			<p><?php echo fs_clean($post->post_excerpt); ?></p>
		</li>
		<?php endwhile; ?>
		</ul>
		<div class="postnav">
			<div class="l"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; '.fs_lang('Older Entries', false)); ?></div>
			<div class="r"><?php previous_posts_link(fs_lang('Newer Entries', false).' &raquo;'); ?></div>
		</div>
	<?php else: ?>
		<h2><?php fs_lang("Not Found"); ?></h2>
		<p><?php fs_lang("You are searching for something that isn't here."); ?></p>
	<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
	<!-- END recent posts -->

</div>
<!-- END content -->

<?php get_sidebar(); get_footer(); ?>

Not being a programmer, I cut and pasted as best as I could to follow the KISS approach and what I got is what I posted above that you termed as craziness. All I need to know…is how to modify the above code so that it uses a different layout for categories 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,453,454,455,456,457,458,459,460. The alternate layout for those categories only is:

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

This is why I am asking for help…how can I do this simply? I don’t know what I’m doing so any help appreciated!!!

Thanks so much.

I also attempted to try this using this code in archive.php:

<?php
 if ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); rewind_posts(); }
 if ( in_category(4,5,6,7,8,9,10,453,454,455,456,457,458,459,460) ) {
 include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/archivesexperts.php');
 } else {
 include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/archives.php');
 }
 ?>

but it doesn’t seem to be working. Can anyone tell me if they see any problems with this code? Thanks!

I figured this out on my own…just required disabling “lightbox” in the theme settings. I didn’t know what “lightbox” was but eventually figured it out. Now the links are working fine.

That did the trick. Although a simple fix if one knows CSS, as a newbie it was hard for me to figure out. I really appreciate that you took the time to help me out, made a big difference in my layout!!
