Well, if your images/styles are working, then my example doesn’t apply, there’s no problem with the link to your stylesheet.

As for the delay, it might have to do with the fact that your images are stored on imageshack. Maybe you should try moving them to where you’re hosting your site.

That worked! Thank you so much! ??

(I currently have 18 posts under cat6)

My navigation div is now

<div class="port-navigation">
     <span class="previous-entries"><?php previous_posts_link(); ?>
</span> | <span class="next-entries"><?php next_posts_link(); ?>
</span>
</div>

Ok. I see it’s trying to take me to https://varriaga.com/artwork/page/2/ which doesn’t exist. Do I need to create this page in order for it to work like I want it to?

I put that in the navigation area, which comes right after the “recent-content” div, but it does the same thing. It takes me to the post. I’d like to bring up the next set of thumbnails and show them in place of the ones that are currently showing. I hope I’m making some sense.

Maybe the whole code for what I’m talking about would be helpful.

<div id="recent-content">
    <ul class="recent-projects-port">
        <li>
<?php
query_posts('showposts=12&cat=6'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/<?php
$values = get_post_custom_values("Thumb"); echo $values[0]; ?>" alt="" /></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>
// the navigation here is separate from the thumbs, i don't know if that's important or not.
<div class="port-navigation">
    <span class="previous-entries"><?php previous_post_link('%link', 'Previous', TRUE); ?></span> | <span class="next-entries"><?php next_post_link('%link', 'Next', TRUE); ?></span>
</div>

I feel like it somehow needs to be told what I want from the next posts (the thumbnails) and where to post them… but alas I don’t know a lot about php other than the few things I’ve picked up during the past week.

By the way,
I really appreciate your help, esmi. :]

All the thumbnails are linked to posts, I use this to call the 12 most recent:

<div id="recent-content">
	<ul class="recent-projects-port">
            	<li>
<?php
query_posts('showposts=12&cat=6'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/<?php
$values = get_post_custom_values("Thumb"); echo $values[0]; ?>" alt="" /></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>
            	</li>
        </ul>
</div>

Thanks for the links, esmi. They are helpful.

I added the next post link here:
https://varriaga.com/artwork/

When I click on it, it takes me to the post of the first thumbnail, but what I’d like for it to do is display the next set of thumbnails.

Maybe I need more than just pHP for it?

no problem.

sure, orgspirit.
what sort of example are you looking for? did your solution not work?

ok. figured it out. the “thumbnails” div class was screwing it up somehow. got rid of that and now it works. *g*

here’s an example of what’s going on…

I’d add some padding in your css file to the content’s container. Whatever div contains all that information, I’d add padding-left: 15px; or however many pixels you want. :]

I think you have the right idea of grabbing thumbnails to try and display what you want. Unfortunately I have no experience with the gallery widgets, but I would recommend trying some PHP (I’m pretty new to it too, started learning a week or so ago).

I would take a look at using categories and custom fields to call the most recent post. :]

Take a look at this as a place to start: https://wpgarage.com/code-snippets/giving-each-wordpress-post-a-thumbnail-and-display-the-thumbnail-on-the-home-page/

I found this tutorial that was very very helpful.

I’m sorry, I’ve given you the wrong link. varriaga.com

One more thing I forgot to mention: I have them set up in a list format above; I’m not sure if that’s the best way or not; ideas are welcome. :]
