opolo, here’s what I use:

<div id="whatever">/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/imagefilename.png" border="0" /></div>

This works if the image is in the stylesheet directory. Hope it helps…

I use <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1'); ?>

The optioncount argument is the one that shows how many posts are in each category.

In the links editing section of admin near the bottom there is an advanced area. You’ll see 3 radio buttons next to “Target”. If you chose “_blank” the link will open in a new window.

There is also a warning that it is “illegal XHTML” if you care about it validating.

Got it all figured out – finally.

The child theme must have the name of the parent theme’s directory in the “Template: xxxx” part of the css header.
I was using the parent theme’s name.

Thanks again moshu for pointing me in the right direction.

Wait. I left a colon out of the one other theme that was showing up. Now all three of the “template” theme are marked as broken. Admin says that they must have a stylesheet and a template. I’m confused. Could it be because I haven’t deleted all the php files from the other three dirs?

Finally got a chance to try the above.

The “main” theme and one other show up in admin. Admin says that the other two are “installed but incomplete. All themes must have a template.”

Here’s what I have:

Main theme css header:
/*
Theme Name: Main Theme
Description: Blah…
etc..

2nd theme css header:
/*
Template: Main Name
Theme Name: Name #1
Description: Blah…
etc…

3rd theme css header:
/*
Template: Main Name
Theme Name: Name #2
Description: Blah…
etc…

4th theme css header:
/*
Template: Main Name
Theme Name: Name #3
Description: Blah…
etc…

Does the Theme Name line HAVE to say “The Second Variant?”

Thanks Moshu.

Is it the header in the stylesheet that makes this work?
Currently I have “Theme Name” and the rest but no “Template”.

I’m with you on this one frogpond.

Is he referring to this?

Yeah, the table for WP-Shortstat was huge. Is there a flush command in phpMyAdmin or should it be a function of the plugin? I’m just doing without the stats as I learn more and, thanks to you and Cypher, I’ve learned a lot so far.

Thanks for the quick reply Cypher. I just deactivated the WP-Shortstat plugin and it’s faster now.

Hmmmm…..been using that plugin for a while now without problems.

Pardon me for digressing…
Captain Fabulous – I remember John Candy & Joe Flaherty
“blowin’ stuff up” on SCTV. What were their characters names? I can’t remember!

I just did the same thing editor. No problems at all. Just back up your database and copy/download all your WP stuff. If you put it on the new server exactly the same way as the old one it should work fine.

Thanks Kaf!!! I just tried it and it works.
I didn’t realize there was a PHP equivalent for that.

Yes, davidchait is correct. All you need is the_date() function using just the day as the arguement.

the_date('D'); <- would give you the 3 letter abbreviated day
the_date('l')); <- would give you the full day name (lowercase L)
