Ok I was able to get an older version of the plugin, deleted the whole CCTM folder from my plugins folder via FTP. And then uploaded that older version folder in place… Everything works again, all the posts are still there also.
phewww bullet dodged.

Something like this maybe – it might help you go in the right direction.

specifically looking at

$subpages = get_pages(array("child_of"=>$post->ID));

and

if ( ($subpages != null) && ($page->ID == $post->ID) ):

If you want to keep the same look…

Create you DIV to be

#main-header {
    width: 1000px;
    height: 288px;
    background: url('path_to_your_graphic_file');
}

Then in HTML

<div id="main-header">

<nav>navigational link stuff...</nav>

</div>

Are you able to, and do you know how to edit the HTML of this template?

To get this to work properly I would edit the HTML and apply some light CSS.

How I would approach it, I would make the whole header be its own DIV. Make the div background be the yellow bar graphic thing (this doesnt need to be clickable in my mind). Then have the “Heritage protection Group” be its own stand alone graphic that is also an anchor link.

Then just place the Navigation Link inside that same Header DIV and easily position it where you want it with CSS.

I would have to see that themes CSS to know what the selectors are. Or you could post a link to your site ??

but you will be looking to change the CSS to this essentially.

h1 {
    color: #0004F9;
}
h1:hover {
    color: #FE0059;
}

or instead of h1 it might be labeled as “a.title” for example. I’m not sure, you gotta find it in the CSS where the title color is applied, then add a similar Hover statement as I showed. Hope this points you in the right direction.

Not sure if I follow exactly what you mean by building a new page… But its likely that the old pages just simply choose a custom page template.

When you go into edit a page look on the right sidebar at “Page Attributes” just below the “publish” button.

You should see “Template” with a drop down menu. Try choosing any custom templates it has to offer. One of those should be like the old templates and will not have the H1 coded into the HTML. Hope that helps.

interesting, I just used a wp_query like so

<?php
$newsletter = new WP_Query( 'page_id=77' );
  while ($newsletter->have_posts()) : $newsletter->the_post();
?>
            <?php the_content(); ?>
<?php
    endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
?>

and it called the form correctly.

So it works, yay. In the meantime if someone knows how to add the form DIRECTLY into the template I would still like to know! thanks again.

I’m not familiar with the theme, can you post a link to your page or something? I cant find that theme in the extend section either. So I’m assuming you got the theme from somewhere else probably…

Is it possible? of course.

Sounds like you want the content to load into the div without the page refreshing though right? That would take javascript, something I’m not very good at.

ehh I found out making them private makes the content invisible too…

So I guess technically it shouldnt matter if people visit that page directly, big deal right?

what about search engines indexing it though, how do I stop that?

thank you alchymyth!

Some reason nothing made sense when I went through the codex on my own… But with your suggestion I used wp_query(‘page_id=7’) and it worked perfectly… It even allowed me to use edit_post_link on the chunk of content. Perfect.

One more follow up question. Since these pages are not intended to be visited or viewed on their own but rather just included in a template as a chunk of content, what should I to make them less visible or “page like”? I already set them as private but I’m not entirely sure what that accomplishes, besides the obvious.

Thanks again for coming to my aid. Obviously i needed someone to just point me in the right direction.

no thoughts on this?

another thing to consider is my posts are permalinked simply as /%postname%/ so maybe I should try and avoid too many pages and just use posts?

Awesome thanks guys. I knew it had to be some kind of global account setup.

??

grr ok I figured it out.

the codex said to use ‘category’

but only ‘category_name’ would actually work. Ok got it. Thanks guys.

ohh you’re talking about the veritcal alignment, sorry duh.

Just add this in your style sheet, play around with it if needed.

ol, ul {
    padding-left: 15px;
}

note you should find the css selector ol, ul already in the sheet. just add in the padding.
