By the way, the answer to the question I had was something like this:

if(is_home()){ //only show the DIV "content" on the home index ?>
<div id="content">
// insert content desired if the existing page is home
</div>
<?php }

I’ve been everywhere and could not find a conditional argument example adding/removing DIV content anywhere. Only page/post by ID or category. That and more complex PHP examples that don’t include any <DIV> tags to show content integration.

Thank goodness for forums. ??

Cool, will continue to do that. I’m using Thematic and their docs and forum has been a mainstay for me all month.

Thanks esmi! ??

Hi esmi,

Yeah, I’ve been to that page as well as the one on conditional tags.

The thing is I just want to do something very basic like create a condition for a post template div section (on/off).

But I don’t know how it’s spelled out in PHP.

I have this in my functions.php:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

The condition address excerpts vs. full page for the index. However, it doesn’t address specific DIV tag or content hooks in a post. At least, I don’t understand what to replace it with.

I’ve been working off samples but my current situation has nothing to compare, pattern, and learn.

There should be a resource with an example of somebody removing a DIV or hook from a particular post template I would think, no?

Cool, thanks Josh!

Yeah, I’m getting that feeling. Whether I adopt a them or start from scratch, I’m just trying to get my head around WP.

So, if I wanted to start from scratch, I’d probably use a very basic HTML structured template and then analyze WP’s set of API functions right?

Like that’s how I’d get around not being tied to a template, right? Is that the idea? That’s how people customize their own?

@josh – thanks man, I’ll check it out.

I switched templates and I’m starting to get the feel for this…a bit.

I see what you mean about the get_header > header.php

But when I pull up header.php all that in it is:

<div id="header">
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
		<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>

I’m looking to edit the source:

<div id="slimmenu"><ul><li class="page_item page-item-2 current_page_item"><a href="https://axiom-media.com/work/fdb/?page_id=2" title="ABOUT">ABOUT</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-11"><a href="https://axiom-media.com/work/fdb/?page_id=11" title="LINEUP">LINEUP</a></li>

<li class="page_item page-item-13"><a href="https://axiom-media.com/work/fdb/?page_id=13" title="SHIT LIST">SHIT LIST</a></li>
</ul></div>

So I get what you’re saying, but it’s not the actual page source. Why is that and how can I access it? Is my only option to choose another template and edit that to my whims?

template: LiasBlueWorld

I’m thinking maybe I should convert another template. ?

I drew up my own design in Photoshop and am trying to conform the XHTML/CSS template to it…which is really strange.

Is that generally what people do to customize their own?

Thanks for the responses you guys! ??

I found the editor but it only edits the CSS. I need to find access to the actual HTML.

The Menu Panel doesn’t show the item ‘Home’. It starts with About and whatever else I add, but I don’t want the home link in the menu. I’m trying to delete and won’t give me access to the HTML.

The actual PHP pages just link out to functions, I can’t find any raw HTML to edit.

What am I missing here?

Ohhh, awesome! Thanks govpatel! ??
