If you look at the source code of the page, you see this at the end-

Most browsers will interpret this and put a blank shell of a paragraph there. Check your footer and remove this if it’s there. Good luck.

I’ve seen people use a sneaky trick on this one. Naturally, WordPress’ index.php is the homepage for the site. If you or your host can change the default document to home.php or something else, this can be your splash when a user arrives. Then link them from that page to index.php to see the blog. WordPress won’t have any trouble with this.

Both PHPLD and WordPress are two different applications. They both have their own CSS and naming conventions. You cannot directly port over the theme. Some serious rewrites would be necessary to make that work. Instead, you’ll have to manipulate a WordPress CSS to make it look as close as you can get it.

You can install a widget to do this-

You can see an example of this widget on the designer’s homepage-

https://kolja.galerie-neander.de/

It is very customizable as far as how much or how little to display. It will also integrate into your theme very well. Try it out.

It is designed to do exactly what you’re requesting. Have fun.

The way the site you provided is doing is with CSS. The CSS says that any img within the ‘content’ id will float to the left and have some spacing around it. Check it out-

HTML (simplified)

<div id="content">
  <div class="exerpt preview" id="post-2707">
  <a href="https://picture.com/pictures"><img src="https://picture.com/picture.jpg" alt="" /></a>
  <h1><a href="https://mysite.com/thisPost">The Title</a></h1>
  <small>Mar 18th in <a href="https://mysite.com/category1" title="View all posts in Category1" rel="category tag">Category1</a> by <a href="https://mysite.com/author" title="Posts by Author">Author</a></small>
  <div class="user_comments">
    <span><a href="https://mysite.com/category1/#comments" title="Comments">##</a></span>
  </div>
  <div class="text">
    Blah blah blah <a href="https://mysite.com/category1/more" class="more-link">Continue Reading</a>

  </div>
</div>

CSS

#content .exerpt img {
  float: left;
  margin-right: 20px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
}

This way whenever you put an image in your post, it will be “caught” by the CSS and floated over to the left. Try that out. Have fun.

The encoding which it came from to where you are putting it now is probably different. Take a look in wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/footer.php. A useful site for using HTML safe codes for special characters is https://www.lookuptables.com/. Try making some replacements. Good luck.

Taking a look at the source, I see this in the code for the BlessingMarie.com post’s date-

<div class="PostTime"><b>17</b> <am>Mar 2009</am> </div>

The <am> tags is what is causing the error here. FF is always better at parsing strange HTML. IE is probably considering ‘Mar 2009’ to be “outside” or the PostTime div. I’d recommending updating this to <span> instead. Look in wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/index.php. Good luck.

Take a look in the file wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/comments.php. This is the code that describes how your comments will appear. Look for the <blockquote> portion that begins the comment. Update the paragraph tag with something like this-

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">

This will space out bottom of the paragraph. Try that out.

There are a couple options here. You can either just take out the WordPress code that generates the category list and put in your own (that references images/buttons). This is found in the file wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/sidebar.php. Comment out the <?php wp_list_cats(); ?> part.

This is pretty easy, however, should you add new categories, your sidebar will not dynamically update. You will have to update the code every time you do. The other not-so-easy option is to update the wp_list_cats() function itself. This can be found in wp-includes/template-functions-category.php. It’s pretty robust with different frameworks if there is 1 category or multiple categories. I’d recommend making a backup before editing this. Good luck.

You’ll want to edit this page: wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/sidebar.php. The section of code you’re concerned with is-

<li id="categories"><?php _e('Categories:'); ?>
        <ul>
        <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
        </ul>
</li>

Just add something in there like this-

<li id="categories"><?php _e('Categories:'); ?>
        <ul>
        <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
        <a href='mypage.htm'>My Page</a>
        </ul>
</li>

Look in wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/index.php. This file contains the basic layout for your index page. The portion of the code we’re interested is-

<div class="storycontent">
<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
</div>

This is the portion that actually spits out the full contents. Let’s put a conditional around this. Let’s say if we want to show the full contents for only those posts in category 6-

<div class="storycontent">
<?php
if (in_category("6")) {
  the_content(__('(more...)'));
}
?>
</div>

In this fashion, you can change the condition any way you want. Good luck!

Well, the first step is to get your host to change the priority of your default documents such that home.php takes priority of index.php. All WordPress pages by default generate ‘https://eat.scm.tees.ac.uk/blog/’ as the URL to the home page, so that will make home.php come up then. Then you can add a link specifically to index.php for the traditional WordPress page.

Have fun!

Here it is. You are employing many stylesheets. Here is the relevant section of code-

<div class="meta">
<h3 class="byline">
by <a href="https://www.danielmousdell.com/blog/?author=1" title="Posts by admin">admin</a>
 | 25 February 2009 | Published in
<a href="https://www.danielmousdell.com/blog/?cat=1" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a>
</h3>
</div>

The first one is really declare the font is blog/wp-content/themes/LilWayneHQ/css/lib/typography.css-

body {
  color: #555555;
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
}

Helvetica Neue is the primary font and most areas use ‘inherit’ to maintain the same look. However, the area you are concerned with is enclosed in a class named ‘meta’ for which we find additional CSS in blog/wp-content/themes/LilWayneHQ/style.css-

.meta {
  color: #ccc;
  font-size: .8em;
  line-height: 1.875em;
  font-family: Georgia;
}

Here, you assigning the Georgia font. I’d suggest changing this to ‘inherit’ to comply with the rest of your site. Have fun!

You can do this with CSS. You will want to surround your fixed area in a div of its own. Then you want to make it ‘fixed’ in the CSS. For example, if we have a div named ‘slider’ that we want to stay fixed at 4px from the bottom and 15px from the right of the screen-

.slide {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 4px;
  right: 15px;
}

That should do it. Have fun.
