Hi Ladydelaluna. 🙂

No problem. 🙂 I’ll try looking around a bit and see if I can find anything to help. 🙂

Hi AndrewBanchich.

A straightforward solution would be to replace the contents between the <title> tags with the following:

<?php if ( is_single() ) { echo get_bloginfo('name') . ' | ' . wp_title(); } else { echo get_bloginfo('name') . ' | ' . get_bloginfo('description'); } ?>

The above code will print the title as “BLOG NAME | POST TITLE” for single post pages and “BLOG NAME | BLOG DESCRIPTION” for all other pages. This IF statement can be expanded upon using other WordPress conditional tags.

I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi ladydelaluna,

I’ve got an idea for this.

You could use a conditional (IF statement) to assist you with this. It could look something like this:

<?php
if ( is_front_page () )
{ // DO THE FRONT PAGE SLIDER }
else if ( in_array ( $category_id, $categories ) )
{ // DISPLAY THE SLIDER USING THE $category_id VARIABLE AS A FILTER }
?>

In the above example, the $category_id variable is the id of the category currently being viewed and the $categories variable holds an array of all the categories the current post is listed under. The $category_id variable could be acquired at random from the array or passed through the page. There are various methods in the WordPress Codex on how to acquire the category id. The in_array() function checks whether a variable is listed in the array passed to it… in this case, $categories.

Although this example is a tad rough and rather simple, I hope it helps. 🙂

Hi sloth.

It is possible, yes. Use the following page as a reference when converting your RVSiteBuilder code into a WordPress theme:

Hi prateekmallapur,

To add page navigation to your blog, add the following code after the <?php endwhile; ?> in the WordPress loop on your index.php page and any other pages that list more than 1 post:

<div id="postnav_container">
<div id="prev_entries" class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('Previous Entries') ?></div><!--/#prev_entries-->
<div id="next_entries" class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries') ?></div><!--/#next_entries-->
<div class="clearfix"></div><!--/.clearfix-->
</div><!--/#postnav_container-->

The above code snippet adds a “Previous” link and a “Next” link, where necessary, and aligns them to the left and right respectively. The “clearfix” DIV has a CSS style of clear: both; which clears the floating DIVs above it.

I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi thelahera,

To align your sidebars to the left and right, the following should work:

1. Add the class “alignleft” to the first sidebar… without the quotes.
2. Add the class “alignright” to the second sidebar… without the quotes.
3. Create a DIV tag below the two sidebars and give it the class “cleared”… without the quotes.

These CSS styles should already be declared in your theme and should float the first sidebar to the left and the second sidebar to the right.

I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi Atkinson.

To resolve the image floating issue, as nathanrice mentioned, you require styling of the native WordPress alignment CSS classes. These can be found at the link posted in nathanrice’s reply above.

Pasting these CSS styles into your style.css file should resolve the issue you are having with image floating. 🙂

Hi B1gft,
Regarding the images not displaying on the homepage, I’ve taken a look at your front page and believe I may have the reason why the images aren’t displaying.

For each post that you have displayed on the homepage, you are displaying the post excerpt. When displaying the post excerpt, I believe that all XHTML tags are stripped from this. This would include images.

Two possible solutions to this would be to install a custom excerpt plugin. This would give you more control over the excerpt. The alternative would be to replace the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> tag with <?php the_content('Continue Reading'); ?>. This will display all the text of the post leading up to a <!--more--> tag on the post (there’s a button for this on the WordPress rich text editor… you can also type it in “HTML” mode on the editor) and will create a “read more” link below this. This will allow for the inclusion of images in the front page area.

I hope this helps. 🙂
