nav won't work in content section

BrianBam — Thu, 23 May 2013 05:38:57 GMT

http://devb.bambl.clients.blinkss.com/schedules/

As you can see I copied my main nav and tried to put it in the content section of this page. However, it won't work. I actually put it in the template and the content section just to see if I could get it to work outside of the header. It is working in the template, but I'd like to get it to work in the content section.

Can someone tell me my problem?

thanks!

Best plugin for eCommerce?

mqs1000 — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:20:40 GMT

I'm looking for a plugin which includes user registration, cart, checkout, as well as some type of "my account" section in which users can open support tickets, view past orders, view the status of their current order, etc.

Is this asking too much for a single plugin, or does it exist?

Subfolder creation problem

tzzoug — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:11:27 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to have a subfolder to put my own php files. (ie: mySubdirectory)

My htaccess looks like this:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

I read everywhere, and people are saying to simply put
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(mySubdirectory|mySubdirectory/.*)$
in there but its not working. I tried for 3 hours and im losing it lol

My htaccess now looks like this.
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(mySubdirectory|mySubdirectory/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

I also tried putting an htaccess fil in the mySubdirectory folder like this:

RewriteEngine off

And that didn't work either.

Any suggestions?

Posts and thumbnails do not display

pdxSherpa — Tue, 21 May 2013 03:45:15 GMT

Trying to get my posts to display at the bottom of the page in four separate slots.

i have enabled the thumbnails function in functions.php

Code:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true );

and started adding this code to the index.php page.

Code:

better yet I would like a post from specific categories show up in each slot. so far it isn't quite working. so slot 1 is engineering, slot two grabs the post from IT. And so on
When I put it in the page.php it was simply grabbing the text from the page it was on.
in index.php it is grabbing something...
and the thumbnails are not showing up.
Also right now something shows up in chrome but not firefox.
and the practice site is at www.thebigmeow.us

Thank you

Wordpress Keeps Directing to Old URL Even Though It's Been Completely Deleted

t3projects — Mon, 20 May 2013 19:06:47 GMT

Before you read any further, yes I have completely deleted all files in the trash, flushed rewrite rules, and disabled all themes and plugins. Still no luck.

I'm banging my head against my computer trying to find out how to fix this problem I keep running into with Wordpress URLs.

Originally I created page called /products that needed to be live while we were completely redoing the page with all new content.

I decided it would be a good idea to create a new page and called it /products-new and then when finished I would rename /products to /products-old and rename /products-new to /products.

That's when I ran into problems.

Whenever I type in /products it directs to /products-old instead of /products (the former page that was /products-new).

If I delete /products-old and type in /products I get a 404 error.

If I'm in the backend admin and edit the page /products and then click on "View Page" from the admin it still redirects me to /products-old. Even though it's deleted and of course I get a 404 error. If /products-old is recreated then /products redirects to /products-old.

No matter what I've tried, it continue to route /products to /products-old even if the page has been completely deleted.

Here's what I've tried in resolving this issue:

* emptied the trash completely

* deleted all revisions

* flushed rewrite rules

* searched through the database for /products-old slug to make sure it's not there.

* turned off all plugins

* went to the base theme

Has anyone ever ran into this issue before?

Multiple Loops & Pagination in Wordpress

Bbvoncrumb — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:38:47 GMT

Right, so what I currently have is a page split into three using a css grid. The third column is the sidebar, The first two each have a query for posts to display, and create a nice grid of posts (dummy content): http://puu.sh/2Xh9o.jpg

Each loop looks like this:

Code:







-----Content -----

This shows five posts in the first column, and the second loop displays five posts after (offset=5) the first five in the second column, totaling ten on the page and read top-bottom left-right. Naturally, this creates a problem with pagination.

What I would like to do is have the posts listed from left to right (but retain the fluid look it currently has with different sized posts) across both columns, or a tleast appear to (I can merge the columns into a two third/one third split), and when reaching the bottom, load the next 10 or so posts automatically (ultimately infinite scroll, but pagination first).

I'm not a php'er, and to be honest I don't understand most of this code. I've built this with help from the wordpress codex and sites like this, but have come to a stop. Any copy-pastable or easy to understand advice/answers are much appreciated. Also new to the forum, great resource and hope to contribute later on :)

----EDIT----
Solved it, I'll remove the double loops and try jquery masonry script.

Auto Redirect 404 in 301 for Trashed Posts

azeem10 — Mon, 20 May 2013 06:43:24 GMT

I have installed Auto Redirect 404 in 301 for Trashed Posts plugin for my website

www.plgmea.com but unfortunately it is not working ?? Still thousands of dead links are

showing 404 not found error instead of redirecting to main page. One example is as

follows:

http://www.plgmea.com/2011/10/03/nut...ins-for-health

The above is a dead or trashed link but still it is giving 404 error instead of

redirecting to plgmea.com home page. I appreciate if anyone can guide me ! Also recommend me alternate methods to redirect dead post to my home page.

Thanx

Reply to Post somehow listed as a response to a graphic file in the blog

jskintauy — Mon, 20 May 2013 05:06:38 GMT

Hi All,

I have a new blog site (yay) and something odd happened. The first reply I received to a new post wasn't actually to the blog article but to one of the images in the article. When you looked at comments in the dashboard it showed the comment was in response to schedule.jpg (a graphic in the article) instead of the article itself. Any ideas why this would happen? Thanks ahead for any help.

Regards,

Jim

wp tag in header not bringing up subtemplate css

pdxSherpa — Mon, 20 May 2013 00:57:08 GMT

Code:

tried a variation of each tag above.
not one of them is bringing in the css for this subtemplate. What am I doing wrong???
And yes, i have a page titled engineeringST.php with the tags at top identifying it as a template.

PHP Code:


/*

Template Name: egnineeringST

*/

?>

& in the wp-admin pages section i went to the engineering page, and in the "page attribute" section from the template drop down menu I picked engineeringST.

Thx

Best CMS recommendation for a web hosting website?

hawkman — Sun, 19 May 2013 21:08:38 GMT

I've been looking at CMS Made simple but even though it uses Smarty, its templating system seems a bit difficult to customize. Wordpress has many plugins, so it would probably have something like a helpdesk/support ticket, but it also seems a bit difficult to customize its layout. Can anyone recommend other alternatives? Thank you.

Joomla plugin to find articles alphabetically

digitish — Sat, 18 May 2013 11:42:43 GMT

We have hundreds of articles on a site we're converting over to Joomla. I'm looking for a Joomla plugin that will allow our users to find articles by clicking on a letter in the alphabet....

A B C D E F G H I J K....

Select a letter to see all articles that start with that letter. Does such a plugin exist? If not what do you guys recommend for article search & management for a site with hundreds of articles.

Thanks.
