Friendly bump ??

Friendly bump ??

Hi there,

Yes, I have been in contact with them. It is only one line that thanks 2 companies for designing the theme. I’m happy with that, it’s rather discreet.

Thank you for the link.

Unfortunately, I do not think this quite answers my question. This explains how to resize a thumb, which causes the image to distort/stretch and look awkward.

I am looking for the code that will crop the image, so if I have a 500×300 image, but I want thumbs to be 150×150, it will get a section the size of 150×150 and just display that amount of the picture (instead of resizing the original).

Thanks

Great, thanks for the tip!

Well, the blog design is already there – I just need it adapting.

I need images to display with the header of each post. That is about it… If anyone could suggest how I can do that – much appreciated.

Thanks!

Bump.

Hi there,

I have done this and I get the following critical errors:

Warning: require() [function.require]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/a1827545/public_html/index.php on line 2

Bump.

I forgot to mention, if anyone has a simple layout that I can use just for posts (in css) I would appreciate it ??

Thank you for your help!

Last query now, honestly! Is there any way I can tidy up that CSS sheet as I am sure there are many things not relevant to my template?

I still can’t align the “latest news/categories/archives” bullet points, they’re over to the right in IE and FireFox but not in Chrome.

And the bullet points within the main blog content seem to be a lot larger than the rest of the post.

I think I have sorted the spacing between the text.

Thanks again for all the help.

Hi there,

I have removed the H1 tag, which has sorted that alignment issue. But now I am tasked with a much harder error… the spacing in between paragraphs is far too large, I’ve tried changing various P and margin tags in the style.css but have had no luck.

I have also noticed there is a slight different in display between Chrome and FireFox browsers.

It’s starting to get a lot more complicated!

The style CSS – https://wordpress.pastebin.com/3CShNTim
The index template – https://wordpress.pastebin.com/jPVQ0PGM

Thank you, this has worked.

But now (and I do not think it is related to changing that one line) the main content on the right of the page seems to align to the right. But it is only the first line of the header that it does it on.

Any idea how I can change that?

Thank you!

I have read through this and am still a little confused.

I don’t want to turn any of my website (apart from the blog itself) into a WP theme (which I do not think that tutorial is telling me to do anyway).

My website is in HTML, so to fix this… I assume I just need to change the *.htm extensions to *.php ?

Am I right in saying that to implement the last 3 posts (without content, just titles so they can click on them) I need to do the following:
Put this before the </head> tag:

// Get the last 3 posts.
<?php
require('/the/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

Then this where I want the content to appear?

<?php query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php endwhile;?>

I just need to put a direct link to the blog header at the top?

Many thanks!
