RenaR, I am trying to do the same thing that you seem to have accomplished. Could you explain how you “set the container div (.flexslider) dynamically with jquery”?

Thank you so much!

Thank you SOOO much! I use Firebug and Web Developer Toolbar but am new at this and can’t always find the solution to the problem.

Here we go: https://dev.theflangroup.com/wpproblem/

The ONLY thing I did was increase the content width to 960 pixels and upload and right align an image at the top of the content. If you’ll notice the image is shifted to the right a bit. This happens whether I increase the width 100 px or 1000. This is, of course, a child theme.

Child theme ?? Give me two moments to grab a link for ya…

I basically just have to use the isbn: query, e.g. https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=isbn:0771595158, which returns a JSON response. By how do I pass the info from a form into the query and how do I pass info from the response back into WP, be it the form or a post?

Thank you so much for your reply! I did actually figure out more or less how to fetch the info from Google by studying how other sites do it. There’s a link that spits out a result with all sorts of info when appended with the ISBN. So I know how to get the info. What I need is guidance on how to a) pass the ISBN from the form into the link to first get the required info and then b) pass the required info back into WP.

I fluently know HTML and CSS and can find my way around PHP (but by no means know it), but I do not know JavaScript. Perhaps I should begin learning?

Same user base? What do you mean “own email?”

I’m familiar with using phpMyAdmin to move WP content from one place to another. What all does moving something onto or off of a Multisite site involve?

@esmi, thanks, but I’ve already tried that plugin; I essentially need the backend post management screen to be visible from the frontend.

I ended up customizing WP specifically for my application. The biggest advantage in doing so is that I don’t/won’t have to deal with plugin incompatibilities when WP is updated. I tried NextGEN, but I was unable to dynamically integrate Paypal into the popup effects. So for now it’s going to be a straight up WP install with a custom built and highly customized theme.

Any updates on this? I, too, am looking to insert Paypal code into the description field. That in and of itself I’m able to achieve, but I can’t get it to dynamically pull the photo id so I don’t have to create a new Paypal button for every photo.

Is there any way to do it directly in the code? I tried to add a loop to the end of a post template and also linking to a copy of, say, index.php through the php include function. Neither worked. Rather, the post page displayed either one duplicate or many duplicates of the current post. Any ideas?

Unfortunately that method doesn’t work on posts placed in multiple categories. I’m looking to replicate page template functionality, where I can either manually select the template from the create/edit post page or change post templates in bulk via the manage posts page.

I’m curious about this as well, as I’m working on constructing an online portfolio.

Wow, that is VERY nice! I personally think it’s pretty busy, but that’s because I prefer simplicity.

Would you mind sharing how you accomplished the thumbnail grid in particular? I’m a photographer currently building my site on WP, and the biggest hurdle at the moment is how to achieve a thumbnail grid of images for my gallery. I want a grid where each thumbnail links to the respective image’s page, as the idea is that each post or page is a photograph.
