In reply to: Editing albeo templates?Ignore the previous reply!!! All themes are fully editable. But of course there is a learning curve to do this. You need to get familiar with the php functions that wordpress uses to implement themes. Also some knowledge of html and css will definitely be needed. To view the code for the themes just go to editor under the Appearance menu in your wordpress control panel-thats if your using wordpress under your own host. I’m not sure if this feature is available to people using wordpress hosted by wordpress. Hope this helped!

In reply to: Changing Buttons from PermalinksHaHa!! I ran into this problem recently as im still new to the way wp uses php. here was my dilema-i\I wanted a page that only shows videos that I post. The problem is if you create a page through the control panel it only creates a single post page with there pre programmed link to it. In other words you create a PAGE not a page which is different from the front blog page. It creates a page that only allows one post and automatically creates one tabbed navigation link at the top of the page. You DON’T need a plugin to do what your trying to do. What you DO need is a little understanding of the wordpress functions and do a little coding of your own. If you want to spread the nav links across evenly which wordpress automatically and you don’t like how it looks then target the code with CSS and style them how you would like to-ex. adding some padding or changing the margins etc… As for external links its a little more complicated. If you know html then you know how to create a link. The next step is the link location. Here’s my code for changing the link of a page created link to my own link, in this case redirect it to a category link: `<?php
// Get the ID of a given category
$category_id = get_cat_ID( ‘Video’ );
// Get the URL of this category
$category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
?><div class=”page_item”>“title=”Video”>Video</div>`
This of course is a link to an internal page but if you wanted to link to an external page just ignore the first two lines of code and use the third replacing the php code with the location of your link. Hopefully this helps. Let me know if this works!

In reply to: IE Problems with dropdown menu and centeringgood luck!!! if you don’t know this by now you will come to realise IE pardon my french SUKS!!! Unfortunately many people still use it ?? so you still have to put up with the many bugs that it comes with. There are a few rules you must adhere to if you want things to show up properly in IE. One of them maybe the most important is instead of using pixels for example px to size things use em instead. This is very important as IE is funny in dealing with px. Em is another way of indicating size in typographer terms. Sadly to say its a little more brainwork than just using px. To convert px to em you must use a little math. Furthermore to get it to work right you must state in CSS the overall width of the page in percentage. It gets a little deeper than this for more reading on this subject go here https://clagnut.com/blog/348/. Hopefully this helps. Let me know if this works!

In reply to: Sidebar drops down on single post pageThanks ppl I found the problem! it was my code in my single.php file which the comments section was a div section that came before my <?php get_sidebar();> call which naturally forced my sidebar to be underneath it. Unbelievable the time i spent trying to figure this out!!! I guess this is how you learn. But i’m sure a lot of people ran into this problem especially if they are modifying someone elses code-in my case- to develop their theme.

In reply to: display only part of the postin your code probably under file named archive.php look for where it says <php get_content(); ?> assuming that it says that replace that with <?php the_excerpt(); >? that will give u the excerpt of the blog. let me know if that works.
