In reply to: Podpress- how to place video on pageI found something…
In the settings you can choose to have the podpress content at either the start or the end of the post.I’m trying to place it in the middle of a page, and centered. If anyone knows how, I’d appreciate it.

In reply to: Force Category Template plugin questionYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!
Thanks!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Force Category Template plugin questionI saw that, but I just could not understand what it is I need to change in the plugin file. (maybe cuz it’s late and I need to go to bed, but my brain cannot get around it!)
This is what it says to do:
/* >> Begin user-configurable variable >> */
define(‘SZUB_TEMPLATENAME_PREFIX’, ‘single-cat’); // change value (‘single-cat’) to reflect template filenames
/* << End user-configurable variable << */The template file I’m using to format a list of posts in category 9 is category-9.php.
Do I replace ‘single-cat’ with ‘single-cat-9.php’ or ‘single-cat-9’ or ‘category-9’ or ‘category-9.php’
Frankly, I’ve tried all of those and the formatting does not carry through.
Thanks for any help!

In reply to: runPHP adding a spaceWell, incase anyone stumbles across this post and is having the same problem, here is the solution to the added space:
disable “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” in Options/Writing.I still can’t get the categories to show in the page, but at least I’m not having the php problem anymore.

In reply to: Hot to add homepage to existing blog?I use the Static home page plugin – “Sticks the page with a slug of ‘home’ to your front page.” – for this and it works great. I strip the loop code of stuff that makes content look like a post, and either hard code the contents into the home.php page or use the include plugin to add content as pages, then include it on the home page and exclude the pages from the menus.
Here is an example of a different home page: https://www.MikeCoffman.com

In reply to: WP for a non blog website?To Shesays:
I’ve created a website that does what you say you want too. I’m working on adding an OSC cart on it: https://freedombracelets.netI’ve also done this at https://LauderCompany.com but it only uses one “intro” page, and has links to the shopping cart categories.

In reply to: Word Press as a content management siteIt seems to me that WP is already a CMS of sorts. I create websites as CMS for almost all of my clients. It is pretty easy for them to enter information and the CSS helps to make sure that it all stays consistent.
It does take some tweaking, but I have sort of a system of putting together websites like this now.
Here are a couple of things I do right off the bat:
* use a lot of plugins too, especially the static home page one.
* create a home page, take out the part of the loop code that make the posts look like posts, like the author, time stamp, etc.
* use the regular ‘PAGE’ layout for the rest of the site.
* use the include page plugin and create custom sidebars for pages.
* use templates for special pages that require intricate php
* integrate posts into pages and use an included page at the top for the static text part of the page
* restrict pages that I don’t want the client to muck with by creating user levels.I have no idea if this helps anyone! lol After reading over it, it sounds very confusing! But it is actually a good CMS that can be modified pretty easily if necessary by changing the CSS.
Good luck! (you’ll need it just to understand my post! LOL)
Here are a couple of my websites that use this system of mine:
https://www.MikeCoffman.com
https://www.LeadershipProgram.org – You can see an example of the variation in the sidebar under the Board link.
https://www.CheerMagic.net – this one is still underconstruction, we have blank pages.(This incorporates a ‘secret’ website in the background that is only accessible with a username and password. It is actually another WP blog set up as a CMS.)Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I need a css expert to help me figure out what i’m doing wrongAlas, I tried that, and it works for short pages, but for pages longer than 600px (like this one: https://cheermagic.net/tryout-results/ ) the footer ends up in the middle of the page. Is there a way to “push” the footer to the bottom of the page?
I REALLY appreciate the suggestions. Please, keep them coming!

In reply to: I need a css expert to help me figure out what i’m doing wrongThanks, but I tried clearing both at the beginning of the footer, after the sidebar and in both places at the same time, but no go.
It still doesn’t work. And I don’t know why there is that little bit of footer sticking out of the side of the sidebar….
I’m stumped! Thanks, tho…

In reply to: Go figure… Flash showing in IE, and not FFduh! i looked for a ‘second’ place to put the full path and could not ‘see’ it! That’s when it is handy for another pair of eyes to take a look! (and to get some sleep the night before.)
Thanks so much!

In reply to: Approval for comments not workingI tried both already – updating .htaccess AND using the ‘reverse psychology’ on the check boxes. and no go. I’m checking my db in phpMyAdmin, maybe the changes are not getting there.
