So there’s no way of just altering the script as is? I will eventually upgrade, but for the time being is there anyway to just use what I’ve got?

You’ll have to explain my “newbness” but I downloaded the zip file, how do I upgrade my js files? Do I just replace the jquery.faded.js with the new ones?

I’m actually not using that plugin at all, I don’t think. It’s not listed in active plugins. Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks for the quick reply. I did as you suggested but it did not work. Any suggestions?

Code now reads:
` <script type=”text/javascript”>
// initialise plugins
jQuery(function(){
// main navigation init
jQuery(“#slider”).faded({
speed: 1000,
crossfade: false,
bigtarget: false,
loading: true,
autoplay: 10000,
autorestart: 4000,
autopagination:true,
hoverPause: true
});

jQuery(“#faded2”).faded({
loading: true,
speed: 1000,
crossfade: false,
bigtarget: false,
loading: true,
autoplay: 5000,
autorestart: 8000,
autopagination:false,
hoverPause: true

});

That was it! I just copied and pasted that code in the style.css file, changed the names, and it worked great!

Your help is a gift from above.

Follow up question.
I set up the .php files of both pages exactly the same, I set up the Custom Post Types exactly the same, I created the posts in exactly the same way that I created the original ones, and have gone through everything to make sure that the settings for both pages are completely identical. What results is this page which is the page that I copied from (here). And this is the result from the page that I created (here).

Any help with what could be wrong? I’m stumped! It seems like it is a CSS issue.

It didn’t work originally, but then I learned the valuable lesson of maintaining pluralization across all my files (I accidentally named the php file video instead of videos). Once I realized that, it totally worked!

Thanks so much for your help. You are my savior!

OK! I think you’ve helped me narrow it down. The page has a slug “services” and there is a page-services.php file with a line:

query_posts('post_type=why&post_status=publish&posts_per_page=6&paged='.$paged);

I think this corresponds to the “rewrite slug” in the custom post type. Am I correct?

If so I should just create a new custom post type for “movies”, copy the code from the page-services.php file, paste it in a new php file, and change the code to reflect the new slug?

I thought of that, but that file doesn’t exist in the theme folder. Does wordpress create a .php file for every page you create or is a specific page’s file stored elsewhere?

I can look at the page source from the browser and see the code that is used to generate the page, but I cannot find it referenced in any of the theme files.

I did that already. The seller provided very little by way of instructions, and their “knowledge base” is a load of bunk.

I was afraid you would say that. The people who sold me the theme have a terrible support staff.

Oh well, thanks.

I did that and tried a test post (from the “add new post” tab in the “Post” menu) and it didn’t post to the newly created “Blog” page. It actually didn’t post anywhere at all.

I set the “reading” setting to Front Page Displays Your Latest Posts, and Post Page is set as the new page I created called Blog. What am I doing wrong here? Its obvious that I am new at this.

Thanks
