Hi tortuca,
I spent a little time looking this over for you and have posted a quick sample here that may help to get you started with fixing the menu all up.

You will most likely need to tweak padding and such as you add images back in but at least it’s somewhere to start from.

Hope this helps.

Hi ckueda,
Perhaps a link to your site (where the problem is happening) or an snippet of the code you are using will help the community see what is happening.

Hi Guys,
Event Calendar uses a category, so the first thing that you will want to do is find out which category number it uses (you can find this in your admin section).

After you have the category number (let’s assume the number is 7) you will create a template for this category, the templates name will be:

category-7.php

Next you will create your template which might look similar to this:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Calendar
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<!-- Whatever code is needed for your design here -->

<div id="calendar">
<h2>Monthly Caledar of Events</h2>
<?php ec3_get_calendar(); ?>
</div>

<div id="events">
<?php ec3_get_events(10); ?>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

The above code will need adjusting to suit your design needs but should serve as a good launch pad for what you are trying to set-up.

Hope this helps. ??

HI Phyrax,
I only took a quick glance but perhaps changing this:

#footer_container {
	width: 760px;
	margin: 30px;
	border: 1px outset red;
}'

to this:

#footer_container {
width: 760px;
margin:0 auto;
border: 1px outset red;
}`

would help.

Hi Ruriko,
Not all themes come with a category page template, often people don’t need them. You can easily create your own though , just be sure to name the template based on the category number it will be used for. For example a unique template for category number 3 would be called “category-3.php”.

Hi GuruXL,
I have been thinking about this a little and it does seem doable, setting everything up would take a little work though. I would suggest something along these lines:

<?php if (is_page('PageName 1')) { echo 'wp_list_pages('exclude=1,5');' } elseif (is_page('PageName 2')) { echo 'wp_list_pages('exclude=3,7');' } ?>

This may point you in the right direction, but will most likely need some work, you should find the wp_list_pages
useful for reference also.

Hope this helps,

Hi RobertYoung92,
Are you using a theme other then the wordpress default (kubrick)? If so the theme may not have been designed to handle header images in this way. Your most sure fire way will be to open up your header.php template file and edit the HTML portions as needed. Depending on how you decide to add this image you may also need to edit your css file.

Hope this helps,

Hi bcamp,
I can’t see any reason why this wouldn’t be doable. You could use the title for entrees, the excert for price and the post area for description. Or more appropriately you could use a custom field for the price, in fact they would suit the price field quite well.

Hope this helps,

Hi,
I was just looking at your site in Safari however, it looks to be appearing okay. I’m using a mac and compared Firefox, Safari and IE7 (using parallels). Nothing that I see appears to be glaringly different.

Hi Leo22,
Perhaps the part of your stylesheet I listed below is throwing things off:

#footerbg { background: url(/wp-content/themes/my%20theme/footerbg.jpg) no-repeat          bottom;
border-top: 0px solid #D16683;
margin:0 auto;
padding-bottom: 0px;
height: 380px;
width: 777px;
clear:;

In particular I am looking at this”
clear:;

Adding a value in here may help.

Hi Flami,
Perhaps a link to where the problem is happening would help. Also I’m not 100% but I don’t believe that name attributes are allowed (based on standards) in a pre tag.

Hi Alore123,
Yes, the stylesheet will need adjusting if you are looking to use theapparatus’s suggested solution. Which part of your stylesheet to edit is a whole other animal.

Your best bet will be to post up a link so that, your site can be viewed. From there someone should be able to point you towards which class in the stylesheet will need editing.

Hope this helps,
Chet

Hi brownkidd,
At the very top of your stylesheet you would add this:

* { margin:0;
     padding:0; }

You mat also want to provide a link to the site you are creating, this should any member of the community when pointing you towards a solution.

Hope this helps,
Chet

Hi Asennai,
That’s a pretty large question to answer. I would however suggest one of the following:

1. Search around for an existing theme that may have a similar look to what you have currently created for the photographers site.

2. Design a mock-up of the blog section for your website, then create a fully working HTML based page for this mock-up. I would suggest not even worrying about wordpress to start, just get all your HTML and CSS worked out.

After the base HTML page is done (and tested cross-browsers), you could start focusing on WordPress integration. This way instead of tackling everything at once your breaking things down into a more modular approach.

Hope this helps to get you started,
Chet

Hey All,
How about Megento or cubecart. There is also x-cart.
