All right, thanks for the help!

Thanks esmi! That does work but it also includes the “Read More” link on every post, not just on the ones using the “Read More” quicktag. Is there a way to do something like this, that checks to see if the Read More link is necessary or not?

<if read more is used in the post><a>Read More</a></if>

Oh yes, and I’ll also need a class of “thickbox” added to the anchor tag. No idea how to make that happen. =\

Nevermind, I’m sorry, I figured it out. The sequence to add a custom field requires you to input the field name in to the “key” field first. Ok!

Thanks moshu!

Correction: I meant RC2, not RC1.

Sorry guys, so I figured it out and there is a completely logical explanation:

Apparently those images will display no matter how many directories up I tell the code to look. I don’t understand it, but I can tell it to look up 10 directories and it still finds them.

Earlier when it WASN’T working and I thought it was supposed to, it was because I wasn’t going up outside the styles directory. D’oh!

If it helps, here is a shot of my folder structure:

https://www.sans-concept.com/images/wp_folders.gif

Items highlighted are the new files I’ve added to the root WordPress install so that I can have other pages that aren’t running through the wordpress system but still be in the same directory as my home page (the news page/archive powered by WordPress).

Again, the problem I’m having is that the styles.css file you see there requires an image path of “../../../images/logo.png” to reach the image, even though the images folder is NOT three folders up. It’s acting like that CSS file is buried down in the theme folder.

Oh, and let me also add that any other file paths in that file, be them image src’s or href’s do NOT need to be pointed up 3 directories to work. It’s only a problem in the CSS file that the page is using. That makes no sense. This is on a unique, brand new html/php file sitting in the root WordPress directory that should be independent of any of the actual WordPress functions.

Hey, and I figured it out. Did some Googling and didn’t realize you could split PHP code up like this.

<?php if (is_paged()) { ?>
<h2>Archives</h2>
<select name="archive-dropdown" onChange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
<option value=""><?php echo attribute_escape(__('Select Month')); ?></option>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=option&show_post_count=1'); ?></select>
<?php } ?>

Works!

Thanks, I actually ended up going for the latter approach. It still keeps the Read More link inside the paragraph tag, but it at least works for display purposes.

Sorry to nag, but does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks!

Ahhh, I see, thanks!
