If the blank lines are inside of opening <?php and closing ?> php tags then it’s fine.

The next version is a complete rewrite and none of the customization tips I’d give now would apply to it. The next version should be available within a few days

The category pages are set to display excerpts rather than full posts, by default. When excerpts are displayed, WordPress will strip formatting tags and hyperlinks from the content.

To display full posts on category pages and/or other multi post pages, go to:

https://redeemerokc.org/wp-admin/themes.php?page=functions.php

scroll down to “Posts or excerpts on CATEGORY pages?” and set it to “Full Posts”, scroll down to the bottom, and click “Save changes”.

WordPress itself adds that via the wp_head() hook, in header.php, for the “Recent Comments” plugin. If you want to change the style, add the css rules after <?php wp_head(); ?> but before </head>, in header.php

Check both /wp-content/themes/atahualpa2/functions.php and /wp-login.php for blank spaces or blank lines after the last closing ?> tag, or blank lines anywhere outside of <?php ... ?> tags.

To hardcode a linked image into a sidebar, add, in sidebar.php (left sidebar) or sidebar2.php (right), this:

<a href="https://www.somelink.com/"><img src="<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/your-image.gif" alt="Some alt text" border="0" /></a>

above this:

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>

to place it above all widgets, or below this:

<?php endif; ?>

to place it below all widgets.

* in sidebar.php the line to look for contains “dynamic_sidebar(1)” instead of “dynamic_sidebar(2)” (sidebar2.php)

In sidebar you can set the page order via the page widget’s “Edit” link. In the top menu, you’d have to change, in header.php

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1' ); ?>

to

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order' ); ?>

You have a

<em>

tag right before

“Steven ponders after meeting…”

that isn’t closed anywhere. Edit that post and put a closing

</em>

tag wherever you want the italic text to end.

Change the color values in this, in style.php:


#outer-column-container {
border-left: solid <?php echo $ata_leftcolumn_width; ?>em #fff;
border-right: solid <?php echo $ata_rightcolumn_width; ?>em #fff;
}


Putting background images into the sidebars is not possible up to version 2.21 because the sidebars are actually “borders” due to the type of layout technique (negative margins, holy grail) being used. It will be possible in the next version of the theme though.

There are plugins etc to preview a theme without going public but that would be too complicated I think. I’d suggest that you indeed turn another theme on for a few minutes when you don’t have many visitors on the site.

Also check this post for possible reasons why the schedule doesn’t work as expected: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-i-schedule-post

I have not dealt much with scheduling yet but as far as I know:

– You must click “Publish” after you edited the timestamp, not just “Save”.
– There might be a difference between your local time and the server time

Please try it with another theme, such as the “Default” theme that is included with every WordPress installation, so I as the theme author can see whether the issue is related to the theme Atahualpa. The theme does not deal with scheduled posts in any way that I’d be aware of.

Does this happen with other themes, too, or only with the Atahualpa theme?

This issue is fixed in the current version 2.21 here on www.remarpro.com and on my site. Please apply this patch to your 2.01 version https://wordpress.bytesforall.com/?p=56#comment-4384 or update to 2.21

This will be an option in the next version in a few days. To include it in the current version, add


<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>


somehwere in index.php, single.php, archive.php and search.php, i.e. between


<p class="postmetadata">


and
