In reply to: IE Conditional StylesheetsI’m having trouble with this same issue on my site.
In my header, I’ve added the following:
<![if !IE 7]>
<link href=”<?php echo bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/ie7.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” />
<![endif]><link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
In my template directory, I have two style sheets, the standard style.css stylesheet, and one named ie7.css. When I load my site in IE7, it doesn’t call the ie7.css stylesheet.
However, if I remove the standard style sheet call (by that I mean this code: <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />), it does call the ie7.css style sheet.
My site is here: https://idratherbewriting.com/simplx.

In reply to: How to make navigation buttons stickI have it half way figured out now. All the buttons work except the home button.
In my header, here’s how the code looks:
<div id=”stylefour”>
- ” title=”” class=”current”>Home
<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li&exclude=732,727,728,729,730,731,726,612,141,557,545,355,566,396,233,546,579,411,400,401,403,402,405,408,407,409,410,530,339,356,338,397,673,28,529,57,54,560,697,607,624,625,698,699,700,701,715,716,717,718,19,497,24,32,136,376,379,378,380,381,382,383,384,385,386,387,388,389,390,391,15,137,434’); ?>
</div>
In the style sheet, this is the code:
#stylefour ul li.current_page_item a {
color:#B30000;
background:#fff url(https://stc-suncoast.org/wp-content/themes/ygo-lonely/img/bgON.gif) no-repeat top right;
}It was just a matter of putting the a on the right rather than the left. I looked at an andreas vikland theme and mimicked his style sheet in that specific menu area.
There’s only one problem: the home button doesn’t work. Do you have any thoughts on how to fix that?

In reply to: How to make navigation buttons stickI appreciate your help taking a look at this. I’m going to play around with some of the things you pointed out. Again, thanks.

In reply to: How to make navigation buttons stickSorry about that — I had only put the path in for the troublesome tag. I inserted the full image path for each of the button images now.
I was thinking that perhaps if the fix wasn’t easy, I could look at a demo of a site where it actually does work?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to make navigation buttons stickI tried adding the full path, but it doesn’t fix anything. Any other suggestions?

In reply to: Edit Post link doesn’t showFigured it out. On the options tab, I needed to change the address in the Install in Directory field to match that of the blog URL field.

In reply to: Popularity Contest Plugin Shows Top Commenters OnlyI’m still having trouble with this plugin. How do I totally remove the Most Popular Posts plugin from my database? Do I enter phpMyAdmin and look for the tables and drop them or something?

In reply to: Exclude pages from being searchedI added some info about the contextual related entries plugin here on the comments of my blog (look near the bottom).
It provides an alternative to the wasabi plugin.

In reply to: Upgrade to 2.2 broke my blog — wp-cache-phase2 problemThanks macbrink. I think I will make sure I remove every reference to wp-cache in wp-content, wp-config, and plugins, and then I’ll try the upgrade again.

In reply to: Strange Characters — a€”Just a clarification to doodledee’s comment for other readers. I’m using Notepad++, which is significantly different from the Notepad installed by default on Windows computers.
