removing articles from list

We meet again mjblake. ??

Issue #2 – The colour of the header title is determined by the following in your style sheet …

#header h3 a{
font-weight:100;
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 220%;
letter-spacing: 1px;
}

Change the line color: #000; to whatever you want. If you want it white (as it was) then it should read color: #fff;

Issue #1 – I don’t quite understand the question. What are you trying to accomplish?

Well then thank you again, LenK!

I’ve got all of my articles in the right sidebar. I want to have my book reviews show up in the section below the articles. But if I make a new page, I don’t know how to make it show up below (in the “review section”) rather than with the rest of the articles. So far, every new page I create automatically shows up in the article list.

By the way, I was totally ignoring the h3 header since I assumed that would be a very low level header. Shouldn’t h1 be the top header?

“Shouldn’t h1 be the top header?”

There are those in the SEO-community that say yes. But that is not how this theme is constructed. Open header.php and you’ll see this …

<h3><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h3>

… contained within the DIV called “header”

With respect to the second issue, if I understand correctly you want this particular page (and possibly others in the future) to show up in a list separate from the other list? Are you using widgets?

I’m not sure if we’re on the same page about the second issue…

I’d like every page to have the same thing on the right-hand side. A list of articles, then a list of book reviews.

But I can’t get a new page to not show up in the list of articles, even if it doesn’t belong there.

I’m using a couple of widgets. That’s how I’m getting the book reviews to appear now. I don’t know much about widgets yet.

Okay, I’m fairly certain we’re talking about the same thing here. These 2 lists, one under Articles and the other under Book Reviews, are pages and not posts, yes?

Make note of the individual Page IDs as you’ll need them.

You’ll be using 2 Page Widgets for this. Insert the first Page Widget and call it whatever you want – List of Articles if that’s what you want. Now, WordPress will automatically include ALL of your site’s pages and display them as a list via that widget. However, you have the ability to OMIT pages from appearing. Look at the bottom of that particular widget and you’ll see an option for excluding certain pages by inserting the applicable Page ID(s). In other words, if you don’t want the pages with the IDs of 4,5 and 6 from appearing in the List of Articles page widget then insert those IDs in the appropriate field.

Do the exact same thing in a second pages widget. Take a look at the linked image below for clarification …

In this image I have 2 page widgets – 1 called List of Articles and the 2nd Book Reviews. The first widget will display all pages EXCEPT for the pages with the IDs of 1,2 and 3. The 2nd widget will display all pages EXCEPT for those with the IDs of 4,5 and 6.

Wow,LenK! You really should be charging for this stuff. Thanks so much for the help.

Haha, I have a full time job – I’m a roofer. I have no desire to make money from this. I just like helping out when I can. ??

Glad to see you have things working the way you want.

one last question (maybe)…

This page showed no sidebar on the right…
Review – First, Break All the Rules: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently

This page showed no content…?
Review of Blink – The Power of Thinking Without Thinking – by Malcolm Gladwell

This page also showed no content…?
Review of Outliers – The Story of Success – by Malcolm Gladwell

I can’t think what I did that would cause this. I thought I was finally making some progress!!

This may be relevant-

I may have changed the name of the article(s) to save space on the page. When I realized this may have screwed things up, I tried to go back and fix it… maybe I made it worse…?

Issue #1 – It appears you have a wayward <div> tag. Looking at the source code of the post called “Review – First, Break All the Rules: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently” I see this …

<p>Some people are strategic thinkers. Some people are mathematicians. Some people are analytical. Trying to fit a person into the wrong position will be disastrous and unproductive for the employee, the manager, and the company.</p>

<div>

<p>This book goes a long way towards examining what really makes great managers great. A wise student of management would include it in their collection. Heck, I’ve read it twice already!</p>

Where did that tag come from? You must have inadvertently inserted it in your post.

Issue #2: – When clicking on the other 2 post titles I get 404 errors. When you edit the permalink be sure to update the post.

One down, two to go! Yes, I don’t know how that div tag got in there, I wasn’t even editing that page. (?)

I’m afraid I don’t know what to do about Issue #2. I thought I was fixing it, but have made no progress as yet. Thoughts?

In the linked image below I have a page called Test Page. I am going to edit it and call it Test Page Two.

Sorry for all of the pics. I find it easier to explain things with the help of visual aids. ??

Sorry, LenK. I’m not getting it. I tried to do just like your image. I changed the name of the permalink, clicked ok, clicked update… and got the same error message.

Maybe you can explain it in a different way?

LenK, are you out there? Help!
