Thanks for the input. I have actually had this site live for over 5 years with many different plugin option but none of them do what I need. The main problem being this is not a site where you can add pages one at a time. I have to use a CSV file import because the are so many magazines so any solution has fit in with using an import.

One solution I’m looking at is setting all the images in folders based on their year of issue. Then using code to pull the images from there folder. I can set the folder as a custom field in the csv file.

The gallery option is still top of the list as you can put any link for the click on the images and Ive already tested that working. But the problem with that is I would need to know all the links before I made them and the paths to the links would need to be a variables (up to 52 of them) in the “import” template.

I’m useless at coding, mainly because of the mistake my dyslexia introduces. But that won’t stop me in the end even if it take a year.

So I’ve got this sort of working now but I would still value input or advice from experts who want to chip in.

What I’ve got is a page named year – on that page is a paragraph next to a gallery.
The page is in a category named 1966 (an example year). These I can now put in a menu.
When a gallery image is clicked it goes to a page and this page is in the category 1966. The layout is exactly the same but the content topic in the text will change from about the year to about that specific magazine issue.

My next step to work out how I can make this work with different magazine titles. And of cause all the design aspects. At the moment I’m guess a category structure like this will work

Magazines
Magazine Year
Magazine Issue

I’ve made child themes and I’ve used other themes. The site has been live for a number of years and has a number of designs but I’ve never been happy with any of them. I want to use the year as a category not for post but pages it’s not a blog. Using the year I can include information of what happened that year. Then the links to each magazine published that year.

I know using a grid of two columns might make it difficult for smaller screens but this content if not really suited to phones anyway. I can always do a separate site which leaves out some features.

My main problem is building a page with has 2 columns

1. text 2 a gallery of images that link to the single page template not the image.

I solved the problem late last night, it seems Yoast doesn’t like long URLs or categories deeper than 1 subs. Removed the plugin and all is fine now.

Thanks for the response anyway.

Wonderful, I would never have found that so next time your in may area I’ll happily buy you a coffee J ??

Sorry for the delay in replying.

It’s a sort of profile page. Some magazines do these pages where the whole page is a image of the person. Then overlayed down the side is a question & answer session. I want to provide the questions in a form and then when they submit the form this sort of profile page is created. I’ve link an example of what I would like to produce (sort of) below.

I think I solved this by using this plugin “Archive Posts Sort Customize“

Or I used the Content Views

Hi well first it’s great you respond so quickly.

I think it’s because I sort some category by TITLE. This is because the title of some are dates so I want to make sure they are listed correctly.

The plugin I use for this is “Customise Sort for Categories Archives”

I’m assuming you can’t do much to help so I’ll either leave it or use another way to do PREV – NEXT

Here’s how I’m using your theme – https://footballinprint.com/

I’ve discovered what the problem was.

In my posts I use the same content just changed the image for each post. And so each post contained this style code “aligncenter size-full wp-img1123”

Seems the plugin was picking up the 1123 and the image ID and match that. I assumed it would look for the filename.

I’ve been there before I came here. I think the area I’ll have problem with is making the sidebar static.

I notice my thumbs where not showing today, after a few hours code and server checking I went STW website looking for answers.

The answer I found was my account had been banned, this is because apparently I failed to confirm my email address. Although I had been using the service and must have done so months ago. Apparently they have installed a new email service and I need to read their opt-in rules and agree to them now. Well tell ya what they can stick it it’s not that the service is that good anyway.

Now are the any plans to use another thumbnail service ? for this plugin or I start work doing my own portfolio pages.

As I said it’s AZindex plugin.

These functions are disabled on the server, anyone know if any of these should be enabled for wordpress ?

exec
passthru
shell_exec
system
proc_open
popen
curl_exec
curl_multi_exec
parse_ini_file
show_source

I recently had this, not sure but found some code at the top of an old ceche file I left in the wpcontent root. I had also left the ceche statements in the htaccess file so I assume it would be possible to piggy back those ceche files and redirect.

Not got around to adding that code but still got the problem with the themes not changing. They are well used themes and they all worked fine once so I suspect it’s a plugin.

To recap – I want to change the theme to one of about ten I have on the server ready. When I preview any of these non-active themes I don’t see that theme I see the current one that already active. If I activate a new theme nothing changes at the front end.

Ok I’ve resolved this, thanks again for your help.

For any clots that fall into this whole this is how I solved it.

I had moved the 3 tables I needed and changed their prefix to the default – wp_users, wp_usermeta and wp_options.

I thought all the login details would be contained in them but what I didn’t know was within wp_options the is a field. This field uses the same prefix as your tables. So I athough I had changed the table prefix this field hadn’t been changed.

So I needed to change the field to ‘wp_user_roles’ when I did that the old login worked and everything is fine in the world.
