If you are using a custom post type, you can’t. However, you can change it in the page type, you can select a template by going to the Page Attributes box and select the template you want under templates.

This post really belongs in the how to section.

I don’t know if this will help, but check the screen options for the Menu Editor. I just discovered all my taxonomies there.

The reason there is no calendar on Elegant Blue 2 is that I didn’t like how the calendar and year summary code worked with each other. Elegant Blue, the original, has the calendar on the sidebar. If enough people request it, I’ll put the calendar on Elegant Blue 2.

Actually, if the update is labeled as an “upgrade” and the full install is labeled as just that, it would definitely be much easier. It not necessary about the matter of size of the download, it’s about convenience. And downloading the whole install package just to install 5 files (with no DB update) seems just a wee bit bothersome.

Try changing your #menu declaration to this:

#menu {
border-left: dashed 1px #000;
padding: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
position: absolute;
right: 2px;
top: 20px;
position: absolute;
width: 11em;
}

This will force IE to wrap around the menu, instead making the menu wrap around the posts.

Well, I haven’t had any problems with comment moderation and approval, other than the fact that it sent me 46 different emails as the result of a spam attack . . . Does anyone know of a plugin or hack that will consolidate this into one email at specific intervals during the day? (Or is it time to break out the PHP coding hat?)

Bill,

Where it says limit=10, you can change that to any number you want and that will increase the number of posts displayed. I recommend that you don’t do any more than 25, if that, or your menu will be bigger than the rest of your site.

As far as the changing title format, you’ll have to look in the css that you are using to drive the site and then look at the source of your index.php page (using the “View” Menu in IE). This will allow you to match up your tags to the conventions in the CSS.

Oh yeah, you don’t need the [code][/code] bits or the ‘ and ‘ that surround each block of code, I’m still getting used to the board . . . ??

For the calendar, you need to have it look like this:
[code]
'<li id="calendar">
<?php get_calendar(); ?>

'
[/code]

The program needs to know that you are adding a new line to the sidebar.

As far as recent posts go, I didn’t realize there was a plugin for it. I did my own code:

[code]
' <li id="recentposts"><?php _e('Recent Posts:'); ?>

<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&&limit=10'); ?>

'
[/code]

Both these chuncks need to be placed in sidebar.php.

Ok, I answered my own question by looking at how the default layout is set up. You need to put the content side of your blog into a width restricted area.
