And yes,

a way to select a specific category, per post, that will be the ‘highlit’ category.

That is exactly what I’m looking for. And display on the front page, ONLY that category and none others.

Yes indeed. I’ll start over.

You know how a lot of news sites put words such as [VIDEOS] or [OPINION] at the end of the title? My thought here is, remove those ugly words at the ends of titles and instead place them somewhere visually pleasing. For example, that “tag” I posted a picture of. A small icon-ish image placed under the title. That way, you don’t have to ruin a good title with things like [INTERVIEW] at the very end.

So for example, a writer has written a post about a video, lets say a game trailer. He starts to choose his categories. He chooses “PC” as a category because the trailer is for a PC game. Then, he chooses “Video” as a primary category to be placed as the tag on the front page (refer to the image I posted earlier.)

Now, we have a post that’s shown on the front page that has that nice green tag under the title saying “Video” instead of the ugly [VIDEO] at the end of the title. Now, because he chose Video as the primary category, that’s why Video is displayed on the front page and the category PC is only displayed inside the post itself, along with all other categories he might have chosen.

Is that a better explanation of what I’m trying to do?

“not handing you the answer outright” Then why are you answering threads in the “Support” forums?

I have extremely little knowledge of php let alone how wordpress works.

The tag for “Videos” isnt there on the page. It’s photoshopped in by me so I can show you what I’m talking about.

It’s not just “video” tags. It’s multiple tags. If a post is placed in an “Interviews” category AS WELL AS a “videos” category, I want the writer to have the ability to CHOOSE which tag will appear on the front page.

I understand how to add a post into a category. What I’m trying to do, is show a “featured” category on the front page. Refer to my image. If a post has been selected to be in “Videos” as the featured category, it will show that green tag on the front page next to the date and comments. However, if a post is selected to be in the videos category, but a different category as “featured” for example, maybe an Interview category, it would NOT have that videos tag, and instead have a “Interviews” tag next to the date and comments.

Do you get what I’m trying to do?

I guess I’m not explaining it very well. This is what I would like to do:

Where it says “Video” that would be the “featured category” and upon clicking it, you’d see all other posts in that category.

Yes it’s a theme sort of thing but, how are you supposed to get specific posts into those categories. Editing the theme every time you make a post is most definitely not the way to do it.

Soooo…..???

Anyone?

Re-upping the admin and includes folder fixed it. Thanks ??

Using the default theme didn’t fix it. I tried also wiping the database (Not sure why that would work but I tried anyway, no go.)

Currently re-uploading the admin and includes folder to see if that works. If not Ill try the memory thing and post findings.

I just barely installed this. The only thing Ive added to this wp install is the theme.

Go in to Setting’s and under General change the site title? o.0
