Hi Pete,
Yep, the theme was downloaded within wordpress. I made a basic child theme from minimatica so i could change a few things but the slider disappeared straight away.
kwicks appears to be redefining the width of the images, even if i change the width of each image temporarily using firebug, as soon as i put the mouse over the slider, the widths change to the large sizes stated above.

Only plugins i have are nextGen Gallery, photospace and AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild. I have tried to disable all of them but without any change.

I have also uninstalled/reinstalled minimatica but the problem with the slider still persists.

Ah ok, back to the drawing board then.

I’ve removed it now but the code was placed after <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>, which i thought was the start of the main loop.

There is no sticky() in my loop.php file

Sorry but this still isn’t working out for me. If you have the time, can you check it out https://www.mijasguide.com/

Now its displaying the sticky post in double.

perfect, that makes sense now. Thanks for your patience esmi!!!

Thanks for your patience esmi but i still don’t think i get it.

<?php
if (is_sticky()) {
global $more;

goes before the loop and the rest of the code goes inside the loop???

Maybe its me but actually the comments are what is confusing me.

// Declare global $more (before the loop)
// Set (inside the loop) to display all content, including text below more.

So is that inside the loop or before the loop or part before and part after.

Thanks esmi. Where in the loop do i put this code?

If i use the_content() in the loop it will show the full content of all posts. This is not what i am looking for. I only want the sticky post to display the entire content. The remaining posts i want to display the excerpt.

Not sure i fully follow you, where am i looking for this code, in the loop?

bump bump
Somebody must have already done this as its the best place to place an adsense banner. I can reduce the width of the header but how do i insert a widget area to the space remaining.

Thank you very much, it works perfectly now.

The 3 boxes are in home.php, the code looks like this:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large'); ?>
		<div class="xs-homepage-box">
			<h2><?php the_title() ?></h2>
            <?php if ($xs_enable_timthumb == "true") { ?>
<?php $homepagebox_link = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'homepagebox_link', $single = true); ?>
              <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $thumbnail[0]; ?>&h=150&w=280" height="150" width="280" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
	    <?php } else { ?>

        	<a href="<?php echo $homepagebox_link ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumbnail[0]; ?>" height="150" width="280" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
            <?php } ?>

There are 3 custom field links on the home page, one for each homepage box.

For example, the box titled “Data transfer” has a custom field “homepagebox_link” with the value “https://www.costacomputer.com/services/&#8221;.

I have given all 3 boxes different values for the custom field “homepagebox_link” but when you click on any of the image links, they all link to the home page instead of the link i have allocated.

Thanks for your input.

I removed the spaces and now the links show as the home page of the website rather than the links i’ve used in the custom field.
