In that case wouldn’t it be the same case if I was in any of the other top level pages?
I put the child_of in there so it would always show those child pages. Is there something I need to change in the string?

Good point, forgot about that. Here’s the link to the page: https://omnispring.vineandgrain.com/

Specifically I’m concerned about the dropdown under services. When you click on any of those child pages, the current page disappears.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks.

Cool, I didn’t know about is_single and single_cat would only work on certain pages, that’s a huge help. I put together an if statement to help pull the right title depending on the page you’re on.

I’ve got the category name to show up on both pages and category pages, but I’m still stuck getting the description to display on pages for some reason. This is what I have now:

<div id="header-text-top">
	<?php if (is_category()) { ?>
	     <h1 class="pagetitle"><?php echo single_cat_title(); ?></h2>
	     <h3><?php echo category_description(); ?></h3>
	<?php  } else { ?>
	  <h1><?php $category = get_the_category();
			echo $category[0]->cat_name;
		?></h1>
	  <h3><?php $category = get_the_category();
	  		echo category_description(); ?></h3>
	<?php } ?>

</div> <!-- header-text-top -->

Here’s a page where the description isn’t showing up: https://shoptrs.vineandgrain.com/nylon-case-klh-84b

I’m having the same problem on another site of mine. I’ve reset the htaccess file by changing the permalinks under settings, but still the homepage won’t come up. it’s weird, when I go to website.com/home it comes up, but website.com doesn’t.

Try opening up the CSS file: style-common.css and deleting the tag “white-space:pre;” under “form” and that should solve the problem.

Deleting that white-space tag should fix the issue. If you’re using Firebug in Firefox, see if you can pull up that element and make sure your CSS is updated when you’re viewing the page and it’s not pulling the old version from your cache.

If you just delete the white-space:pre; it will fix the issue.

I was staring at this for hours before I figured that out.

Ok, I figured it out. I was stupid and had at some point taken <?php wp_footer(); ?> out of the footer. Adding it back in fixed it.

Ok, I figured it out. It wasn’t the login tracker, it was the search plugin we used.

YES, that worked.
THANK YOU.

I tried looking for what I was trying to do in the codex, and I couldn’t figure out how to string it all together. Lifesaver!

Alright, so I’ve been thinking about the logged-in vs. password protected personal debate, and I think for this whole section of the website since it’s a series of several pages, it makes sense for the users to be logged in.

I’d like to put a login box on the page if you’re not logged in, and then have it load the page when you log in, not redirect to the admin. Is there an easier way to do this than I’m finding online? I’ve found resources for changing the wp-login page, but I want to be able to code it into those page template files.

Also, if I make the parent page password-protected, it seems like the children are not password-protected. So that a visitor only has to put the password in once, is there something I need to put in the template file for those specific pages that makes the children also protected under the same password?

Thanks for the help guys.

Songdogtech, Initially I wasn’t looking at a role manager, but this might actually make sense for another section of the website. If I go this route, is there a way to make the login pieces show up on that page and when you login go RIGHT to that specific page and not the dashboard?

David, I tried that code, and it didn’t work. I’m not a php expert, am I missing something?
