  • sorry, I don’t code. I also don’t recommend modifying plugins, because if the plugin gets upgraded you loose customization.

    Try deactivating all other plugins, see if this works, then you’ll know there’s a conflict somewhere. Or find ul and li in your style.css, and add anything in front like foo.ul and foo.li. If the menu works, you’ll need to change your style.css to style only ul and li in the content area. Or find a different plugin.

    Did you know that wordpress default theme menu does this automatically? https://2010dev.wordpress.com/

    Never mind, I found radSLIDE which works great! and turns out to be much easier to use and style.

    I can’t guide you step by step, because it depends on your theme, the images, and the css settings. But I can tell you where to look: under appearance, find the button to edit theme files. You want to add images to the header.php file.
    You’ll need a little css and html knowledge to get it to work.
    If you aren’t comfortable with that, ask the theme designer or the theme forum for help.

    The “page not found” is the 404 error page. It looks like it’s the error page that came with your theme, so that’s a good sign.
    THere’s a problem then with the links. Have you tried using default links? If you’re trying permalinks, is htaccess writable? Are you letting wordpress code in the links, or are you trying to hard-code them in?
    First change links to default. If that works, you’ll know it’s time to troubleshoot permalinks. If that doesn’t work, there’s an issue with how the links are being set up.

    It’s something in the css. If it had been working but isn’t now, try moving the navigation part of the css to the very bottom of the css file. If it works, something else in the css was overriding these styles.

    The header template should specify the navigation as something like <ul id="nav">

    Make sure the css for the menu is specified, such as #nav ul {}, #nav li{}, etc.

    You might want to view pages in Firefox with the free Firebug, it will help you see what’s going on in cases like this.

    The h2 is getting styles from a lot of places:
    – it’s dark green color is on line 591, .post h2
    – If you delete that color, it becomes blue from line 561, .post h2
    – Also on line 561 .post h2, it has font-weight:normal
    – But also getting blue from line 551, .leftpanel h2

    if you delete all those css styles, the h2 becomes bold, light green like the other headings.

    no, what you need is a <body> tag in the header.php, then to add the code that will automatically add class to the body tag. (look at the default twenty-ten theme and copy it).
    And add a css class to images in your template files, different ones on different pages. That will give you lots of hooks. Then, in your css, you can control images depending on category, post type, or such.

    So the classes would like:
    <body class="mycategory">
    and on one category template you could have:
    <img class="nospaceimages">
    but on another category template you could have:
    <img class="lotsofspace">

    And your css could have lines like this:

    body.category-mycategory, img.nospaceimages {margin:0;padding:0;border:0;}
img.lotsofspace{margin:1em;}

    I should have separated this into 2 questions, really. Thanks, but what I was hoping for was a way to automatically add something to the end of the url, based on the page they are on. So if they are on page “mysite/paperonepage” they would be redirected to “mysite/paperonepage/paperonepagepdf”

    Otherwise, I’m looking at a separate form for each and every one of these download offers.

    The quick fix is to specify those styles only apply inside the content box. So change the names of .category and .archive in your style sheet to:

    #content.category{}
#content.archive{}

    the menu might be this:
    <?php wp_nav_menu( ( ) ); ?>

    but it’s all done in css just like the second posting.
    I see two options:
    – absolutely position the div “top-image”, AS LONG AS it’s inside a relatively-positioned container — and that container ALSO has the navigation
    such as:

    <div class="container" style="position:relative;">
      <div id="top-image" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;"?><img /></div>
      <div id="navigation">nav</div>
</div>

    OR
    – use negative margins and z-index to move the image
    such as:

    <div id="top-image" style="margin-bottom:-14px; margin-left:-14px;z-index=100;"><img></div>
<div id="nav" style="z-index:1;">navigation</div>

    These divs all seem accounted for, but perhaps a generated page would be easier to troubleshoot, because an unclosed div (or other tag) will cause those sorts of problems.

    On another note, doesn’t the title tag usually come after the if have_posts tag?

    It’s probably a padding issue, easily fixed with css. But can’t trouble-shoot from an image.

    I don’t think so, but this is on a client’s server that I don’t have control over or even access to (other than wordpress). Thanks for the followup.

    It’s a custom theme, which means there isn’t a version for you to download. You can find themes with a similar vibe, try searching “portfolio” or “photographer”.

    yes, there are about 6 posts.

    FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I swear the screen options looked different on my laptop than here on this computer. Well Chip, I consider you a genius and that has fixed my problem.

    Thank you for your guidance!
