In reply to: Difficulty of a vertical, 90 degree menu ?Ok wow that css actually basically worked with minimal hassle. I was able to add absolute positioning to place it running down the right column of the content window. (Is there a better way?)
Can you please explain this further or how to implement this:
For ie8 you should be able to use the rotation property of the BasicImage filter.
Hopefully It is just a matter now of styling it.
A broader concern is the compatibility and responsiveness on mobile devices. The client might be pleased to get his vertical menu, but I’m concerned how it will appear on mobile devices.
Thank you very much, so far this was very helpful!

In reply to: Weird little problem with adding custom post type functionsOk I suspect it’s the theme, since I deactivated the plugins. Who knows. I’m still getting “Invalid post type” – sometimes.
Oh and then sometimes the ‘author’ and ‘comments’ fields show up, sometimes they don’t.

In reply to: Weird little problem with adding custom post type functionsI de-activated all plugins and no change. I love wasting four hours on this kind of nonsense.

In reply to: Weird little problem with adding custom post type functionsNow ‘author’ and ‘comments’ do not show up for all custom post types, when they clearly did moments ago…
This is the kind of mind game that drives me bonkers.Forum: Hacks
In reply to: Weird little problem with adding custom post type functionsThanks for the reply… There are strange anomalies happening. When I work locally, it works fine. When I work remotely, ‘author’ and ‘comments’ do not show up. However, when I use other custom post types for “Videos” “Recipes”, it works (remotely).
Sometimes, working with the above specifically, the whole page breaks and it says “Invalid post type”, all centered around
register_post_type('images',$args);There are a couple of weird things going on, it’s complicated to explain. Absolutely no idea what the problem is…

In reply to: [Plugin: Fancybox] Fancybox for dummies somewhere?Update:
Well I just discovered the main cause of my frustration has been a conflict between my theme and the plugin/jquery code.I still don’t fully understand how things…but it poses the next question which is, is it possible to resolve theme/plugin conflicts?
A very important component to my business is these new tutorial videos on my site using Lightbox, and if it doesn’t even work on my site this is a big setback to get around….anyway…

In reply to: Remove attribution between post title and postI had a feeling it would be theme dependent.
See it here:

Thank you.

In reply to: Showing excerpt v. full postI think in the theme I am using it could be in a number of places, this is going to take some work I guess.

In reply to: Showing excerpt v. full postOk thank you. “<?php the_content();?>” is not in the main index file, but I’ll fish around for it in the other page files.
I am baffled – task requires searching around php code? It seems very simple to require that. Thank goodness I have a modest understanding of php from various other troubleshooting, but for the total layperson, they are supposed to search around and edit code? I thought WordPress was supposed to make it easier for the backend admin of a blog…
:). I find this baffling for such a sample task… Anyway I’ll look around. Thanks.

In reply to: How to remove these things from a postWonderful thank you!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to remove these things from a postOh I’ve already created a child theme and done quite a bit of other editing. I’m ready to go :).
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Removing title and descriptionok I didn’t know that. I learn something new here every day.
Line 16 is where I originally put the it (which is in the head tags).
Yeah, that doesn’t do it.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Removing title and descriptionI know what the problem is, but I don’t know exactly how to fix it.
I replaced the wrong code. I replaced the <title> in the <head> tags, not the <body> tags. With all due respect, I think you missed this too.
So, here is entire code for the header file. Where *exactly* do I replace the <title> stuff?

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Removing title and descriptionI’ve copied the file into the child and replaced between the <title> tags with the above. It’s really not working.
I guarantee you there is some other little setting that we’re overlooking, this *always* happens I have found with troubleshooting WP.
I would be happy to send you a PM with my login details, the site is https://www.musiclessonshq.com
Thanks for your help.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Removing title and descriptionI did do that. The child theme is in use for style.css, functions and category.
But in the header file itself, it’s just the above code; does it need some kind of opening code or something or something (I don’t think this is the problem but why not ask).
I’ll come back in the morning and work in this some more.
