I search for solutions for problems I come across, then post here whenever I can’t find one…

Then immediately find the answer elsewhere.

Evidently I need to use the @import ability css has.

Very handy. Thanks for posting that!

Thanks for the info.

I ended up creating a second sidebar template, and a second sidebar, and pulling in the sidebar where I wanted the widget. Kind of a round-about way of doing it, but it works.

Definitely going to look into the_widget() though, didn’t notice that in the 2.8 notes. Thanks!

I’m looking for a way to do this too.

So far I’ve come up with this:

Set up your other domain with WP and make a post there.
Find the RSS Feed for your Page, Category, w/e you want pulled
Find an RSS ‘parser’ script somewhere online, and use it to implement the rss feed of your other blogs into your main php page’s code.

Then what do you suggest?

I was hoping to have it relate pages the same way the “Yet Another Related Posts Plugin” widget does – using Keyword searches in the title and description. Unfortunately that plugin won’t show up in my sidebar and I’m not sure why. (I’ve tried disabling all other plugins and it still doesn’t show up).

At this point tags or categories would work to relate them.

Bump again.

Bump.

That did it. I can set it up now using the functions listed in your link to pull the necessary info. Thank you very much.

You, my friend, just saved the day. I hadn’t thought about altering the current landing page instead of creating a new one. Duh!

The only thing I still wonder about is how I’m going to make the content different based on the user. I want Client A to be able to see their documents only, and not have access to the documents I upload for Client B, C, D etc.

Thanks a bunch and best of luck on your site build-out.

In your theme editor click style.css. This should pull up a list of CSS code that you can edit. Throughout the code you’ll see various items listed and percentages listed to the right. You’ll want to change percentages to pixels.

EG:

#header {
…somestuff…
width:83%;
…somestuff…
}

You’ll want to change it to the specific width you want:

#header {
…somestuff…
width:800px;
…somestuff…
}

Once you’ve done that, update the file and check out the changes it made. You’ll need to tweak it for a while until you get everything just right.

Try opening up your wp-config.php file and looking at the info listed there. Your domain name / database links etc might all be referring to the old site. You’ll need to update them to the new url.

Many webhosts have a htaccess manager pre-built into your control panel. For instance I use Ipower.com and once I log in it has a step-by-step walkthrough on how to forward the links. Pretty handy. Try checking your host if you can’t finagle the .htaccess code changes directly.

I found a great article about the CSS and HTML of setting up the drop-downs at A List Apart:

I imagine you’d need to set up the pages specifically instead of using a wordpress function for the sub pages. I’m not sure there is a pre-built function to generate it that way. Hope this helps!

Thanks for that – I think I’ve got my head around how to implement it now.
