Instead of creating a separate file, you can use the is_category() conditional tag. Like this for example:

<?php if(is_category("rock")): ?>
   <h2>Greatest rock bands</h2>
<?php endif; ?>

Hope that helps…

Hi,

You can do that by adding the following code to the functions.php file of your theme:

function getarchives_since($string){
	return $string . " AND post_date > '2008-01-01 00:00:00'";
}
add_filter('getarchives_where', 'getarchives_since');

However, that will make your Archives page also show the archives since January 2008.

Turns out it’s much easier than that… the comments_template(); function accepts one parameter, the file that you want to load. So this should work:

<?php comments_template("/comments2.php"); ?>

Ok… different approach:

<?php

function replace_id_for_slug($option){
	$categories = get_categories("hide_empty=0");

	preg_match('/value="(\d*)"/', $option[0], $matches);

	$id = $matches[1];

	$slug = "";

	foreach($categories as $category){
		if($category->cat_ID == $id){
			$slug = $category->slug;
		}
	}

	return preg_replace("/value=\"(\d*)\"/", "value=\"$slug\"", $option[0]);
}

$select = wp_dropdown_categories("hierarchical=1&hide_empty=0&echo=0");

$select = preg_replace_callback("#<option[^>]*>[^<]*</option>#", "replace_id_for_slug", $select);

echo $select;

?>

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
    var dropdown = document.getElementById("cat");
    function onCatChange() {
		if ( dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value != -1 ) {
			location.href = "<?php echo get_option('home');?>/category/"+dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value+"/";
		}
    }
    dropdown.onchange = onCatChange;
--></script>

You can do that by editing the style.css file of your theme.

This is the part that tells the browser what size the header title has to be:

#header h1 {
	font-size: 3.0em;

3.0em means that it’s three times the default font size, which in your case is 10. That means a font size of 30 pixels.

You can change that for 2.0em, 2.5em or whatever you want.

Cheers!

Aw, sorry… forgot to close the div… Should be something like this:

<div <?php

if ( is_page('emotional-wellbeing') ) {
    ?>class="lookhere emotionalwellbeing"<?php
} elseif ( is_page('healthy-eating-exercise') ) {
    ?>class="lookhere healthyeating_exercise"<?php
} elseif ( is_page('general-health') ) {
    ?>class="lookhere generalhealth"<?php
} else {
    ?>class="lookhere contactus"<?php
}

?>></div>

How about this:

<div <?php

if ( is_page('emotional-wellbeing') ) {
    ?>class="lookhere emotionalwellbeing"<?php
} elseif ( is_page('healthy-eating-exercise') ) {
    ?>class="lookhere healthyeating_exercise"<?php
} elseif ( is_page('general-health') ) {
    ?>class="lookhere generalhealth"<?php
} else {
    // Your code here
}

As far as I know… you shouldn’t experience any problems.

From what I can see… the problem doesn’t seem to be in the CSS but in the HTML.

In the home page, both columns are inside a #columns div, but doesn’t seem to be the case in the archive.php.

According to the W3C validator, you’ve got some extra </div> or something:

If you’re trying to use comments2.php as a page template, then the file must start with:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Comments 2
*/
?>

Then you can create a page and choose “Comments 2” from the Page Template dropdown menu.

Or, if you’re just trying to include that file inside another, then all you have to do is:

<?php include('comments2.php'); ?>

You’ll have to custom code the drop down menu, like this:

<?php

$categories = get_categories();

$select = "<select name='cat' id='cat' class='postform'>\n";
$select.= "<option value='-1'>Select category</option>\n";

foreach($categories as $category){
	if($category->count > 0){
		$select.= "<option value='".$category->slug."'>".$category->name."</option>";
	}
}

$select.= "</select>";

echo $select;
?>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
    var dropdown = document.getElementById("cat");
    function onCatChange() {
		if ( dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value != -1 ) {
			location.href = "<?php echo get_option('home');?>/category/"+dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value+"/";
		}
    }
    dropdown.onchange = onCatChange;
--></script>

Seems to be here:

/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php

around the line 112.

Can you be more specific? Do you get any errors?

Notice that adam-s’ code has an exclamation mark (!) in front of the is_page() (which would be like saying isnt_page() if you know what I mean)…

if(!is_page()){
     // Your categories and archives
}

That would make the categories and archives appear in the home page, in the single post page, etc. Everywhere but the pages (eg. About, Contact, etc.)

Got it!

<?php

$rand_posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type='post' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");

foreach($rand_posts as $post){

	setup_postdata($post);

	the_excerpt("Read More...");

}

?>

Works 100% (you can choose to use the_content() instead of the_excerpt() if you’d like).
