https://www.claytonmiller.com and right now i have it set to the ugly default permalinks. when i change it to the custom permalink structure i cant get the feed address! ill set it up to custom so you can tell me what to do hopefully!

i have the same problem! i have searched and searched and couldn’t find an answer! can someone steer us in the right direction please?

Thanks

ok sweet thank you very much!

again i appreciate your quick response!

if i wanted a different header to show on all the other pages throughout the site other than on the “index” page, what would i do?

thank you for such a quick response! i figured it was something simple and i was overlooking it!

what if i didn’t want to display that header with the coming events, and just the content above that section for all the pages and single posts?

thanks again i really appreciate it!

thank you for your help! maybe i need to explain a lil more detail. i would like the posts to be floated left 3 across. just 2 rows. i can make the content display exactly how you were saying. but with the following errors.

i posted it like it was because it was actually showing the excerpt of the post (just not aligned) using the wordpress codex excerpt $post-->the_excerpt(); if i place it between the tags it looks like it does now if you look at it https://02f16cc.netsolhost.com/freestonemx/ .

the problem i couldnt figure out was how to use that excerpt line of code so it displays it dynamically. when you look at it in firebug its hows the excerpt in p tags. so targeting the p tag wasnt working for me before i posted the question (i tried everything i could think of).

maybe there is a better way to do this. could i do a special section of posts from a category? i believe so, i just have to look into how to implement it. thats all im really trying to do. i found a custom setup for “featured posts” and it works fine for just a thumbnail image. and im actually using that too for “coming events” and it works out perfect for that. but for the “latest media section” i need to have a title so people know if its pics, or vid.

if i can get he excerpt part fixed it will be great and everything will work on the back end when i make a post by adding the custom field and a excerpt for the title, and of course assigned to the media category.

thanks again for your help, please help me further if you can, or steer me in the right direction.

thank you so much. i am trying to learn exactly how to use php so i can implement the wordpress codex they provide.

can anyone give me some advice on how to use that line of code in place of what i have?

ok thanks now how exactly would i use it? this is what i have what do i replace it with?

But that said, I NEVER build themes this way as I specialize in custom WordPress applications where the markup is custom to the desired layout — if you understand how the files are chosen for display, this isn’t difficult at all and you needn’t struggle to create CSS for markup that isn’t appropriate for what you want.

Of course, that means your files cannot be “themed” with official theme CSS. The price you pay, of course.

im not following what your saying. what do you mean custom wordpress applications?

i know i can make the css do whatever i want that is easy. thats controlling the structure of a page.

i did see that. i guess i was expecting it do be a lil diff.

the only other question i have is- in the example i listed did they create a page to show the latest posts as a “home page”? and when you click on the post it takes you to that actual page created, and from within there you can interact? that is what i want to do.

i can make it look how ever i want thats not the problem. i actually educated my self to learn proper css and html structure so my sites are completely valid with the w3c. i was referring to i just didnt know the main file that has the page breakdown. so far im working with the different breakdowns of the page, footer, header, sidebar, etc. where is the main file that shows all the attached css, java, etc. do you understand what i mean? any index page of a site shows all the included files attached. and when opened in dreamweaver cs4 you can open the index file and it shows all the other files attached to that page. and you can edit them right there from within that index page you opened by clicking there tabs. thats what im trying to do is find that main index file…

thanks again for all your info!
