I wasn’t aware of the pastebin. Thanks for the info.
I’ll look further into that query. I appreciate your time

Bump!

okay I’m narrowing this down but still need some pointers.
The code below lives in a file named author.php. I’m using a link as show above the_author_posts_link() in the page.php for content display. This show the author’s name and when the author’s name is clicked it opens the author.php page. Which has this code.`<?php
get_header();
?>
<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>
<!– This sets the $curauth variable –>
<?php
if(isset($_GET[‘author_name’])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
endif;
?>
<h3>About: <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?></h3>
<p>Website: user_url; ?>”><?php echo $curauth->user_url; ?></p>
<p>Profile: <?php echo $curauth->user_description; ?></p>
<h3>Posts by <?php echo $curauth->display_name; ?>:</h3>

<!– The Loop –>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
• ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”>
  <?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e(‘No posts by this author.’); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<!– End Loop –>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>`
This code is supposed to list all pages by the author of the orignial article but it displays “No posts by this author.”

Where do I go from here?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I created a user as editor and saw no way to set permissions for authors. I found a great plugin called Capability Manager. Does exactly what I need.

Right you are. I had to rename the file with header being the leading part of the name. It worked perfectly. Thanks much for the quick response.

I have been to the website for this plugin and there are no clear and concise instructions on how to add a menu to a page using this plugin. Sure you can add them to the side bar but I have looked high and low for some code to insert into my header to create a menu so I can then go on to configure it myself. gbellucci if you can point to exact pages on your site that gives the “detailed” instructions it would be appreciated. I can’t find one block of code similar to other plugins [NAVT Menu on page] like that.
You give an example of how to add it to the side bar but nothing detailed about adding a true navigation bar horizontally across a pages header or anywhere. That is that we can find clearly on your site. I really like what I see on the user interface in the admin area but just because it looks cool in the admin area doesn’t make it efficient and feasible if there are no clear and concise instruction. I’m sorry if I’m a bit short here but I’ve looked for a total of 7 hours regarding this plugin and I”m about to hang it. Can you tell me if the menu is dynamically created by php or does the list have to be hard coded and then styled. Thanks for clearing things up

Did you get this to work? If so do you mind posting an example. I’d like to do the same or something similar.

Well first you would login and the site would open up to the first page. If you were the administrator or had administrative privileges then there would be a menu on your side bar that would have links to create a page or a post. That would open up a page with a form template on it and away you go. I’ll figure it out. I know it’s possible.

That helps a lot. Thanks apljdi

Have you found a way to do this yet. I’m toying with TDO Mini forms right now. It’s working pretty good for a basic form so far. It’s heavy on configuration but I like what I see so far.

How extensive is the work you have done locally as far as posts and other pages? The reason I as is that it may be less of a headache to install WordPress from the Free Applications manager on Godaddy and then move your theme, plugins and other files via FTP. I can see your links but there is no styles applied. I tried to leave a comment but received the OOPS error too.

Very efficient! Thanks for the ah ha moment of the day! Maybe you give me another? I have a lot of time on my hands this winter. I have 8 hours /day set aside for learning PHP, Mysql, javascript and the WordPress framwork. I’m a quick learner. Approximately how long should it take me to have a full understanding of WordPress themeing and start marketing myself? I know it’s a relative question but I’m trying to set realistic goals.

Thanks

I’ve resolved this issue by finding an error in my own code. “apage” duh

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the reply. Guess I’ll have to work around that. I wish I could past javascript and php code in the text editor. But that’s another subject.
