Did you accidentally change the WordPress privacy options?

I think what you are looking for is functions.php? Of course, that would only work on the specific theme, so if you want to make it work on more than one theme you would need to edit the core files (which would get overwritten at update).

I would have a news page which uses your news template, but has no content.

The news.php template would query posts as index.php does. You can then use index.php (or, better way, set a static page and possibly use short codes for the excerpts).

There are so many ways to do this, it is just personal preference!

Let us know how you get on,

Hmm that is more than high enough, so should not be the problem.

I do not know, have you tried reuploading the WordPress files? Something may have gotten lost in the upgrade.

Good luck,
~Shane Hudson

What are your wp-content and plugins folders chmoded to? There usually lie the problems.

I am not sure if you can give access for only one page. You could use WPMU (or WP3.0) but that gives them a blog each instead of a page.

What I have done in the past, though only good for lesser amount of content, is add fields (eg. social networking, images etc.) to the author profile page.

I hope that helps,

Oh dear, I list three pages and it is in “privacy”… how could I forget that?!

You could indeed do it with .htaccess, I can never remember any of that off the top of my head so usually avoid it… should really learn it, shouldn’t I?

I have never read a wordpress book, books are great but get outdated very very quickly in this industry. I stick to blogs such as Justin Tadlock’s and Lorelle’s.

The line of “code” I gave you is in the extract you posted earlier.

Change

#header{height:113px;}

to

#header {
     height:113px;
     margin-top:-55px;
}

In regard to the layering of images. You could (as most should but I must have misread your code) create a div to store the social icons and preferably (for SEO purposes) a h1 tag with the title hidden so that only spiders can see it.

The image currently there would be the background of the div.

Take a look at most websites, this is a very common method.

I hope that helps clear things up,
~Shane Hudson

I have looked for some clues to answer your question, unfortunately I could not find anything.

Why is it you would like to create admin pages that do not show in the menu? Seems a very strange request!

I am sure you could probably exclude the page as you would with frontpage pages, I am not sure how though!

Please let us know if you resolve this,
~Shane Hudson

Create a page.php, there is sample code in the codex. If the theme does not have it then WordPress will use the default code.

I hope that helps,
~Shane Hudson

Is it in a separate folder? If so you can password protect from cpanel. Also, to prevent spiders (hahaha) there is an option in WordPress Settings… under either general, writing or discussion (cannot remember which).

Hope that helps,
~Shane Hudson

I presume your menu is in your header?

If so, go to header.php and find something like:

‘<?php wp_list_pages(); ?>’

To exclude pages, just add their ID to the exclude, like this:

‘<?php wp_list_pages(‘exclude=2,3′); ?>’

I hope that helps,

I think you would be best off using a real robots.txt… this way at least you know which one is being used and if the plugin breaks or something goes wrong, there is less problems!

Most questions I have had in the last few years have all been answered before. Usually a google search takes me to blogs such as Justin Tadlock’s and Lorelle’s.

The “experts” of WordPress really do know their stuff and even better… are constantly HELPING and TEACHING other people to know their stuff!

It is possible, of course.

One way (though probably not the best) would be to load all the content (SLOW) in the background, in hidden divs, then use jQuery to show the particular div next to excerpt.

I am sure there are better ways, most would use javascript in some way.
