WordPress Styles

Archive for the ‘wordpress design’ Category

I am the founder of Eleetgamerz.com and im looking to move from using wordpress to having a Unique Design just like if you were to go on ign.com, g4tv, etc. Also if you know of a better name for a Video Game website please let me know. Thanks in advance. Best Answer will be chosen.
So would you choose Joomla over WordPress?
And also do you have any recommendations on a good name for a Video Game Website? It’s time for me to renew domain and I want something shorter and easier to remember.

You can use something like Joomla or WordPress, but you are overloading your server with 90% of rubbish you will never use and nerver bother to understand.
And once you hit a problem, finding the cause of the error can be huge time consuming: the error will be somewhere in 26Mb of code you never wrote and never read.
So, the professional choice is to start from scratch and write your own, using a text editor and php.
Pros, with a few years of experience, have "stored" a lot of simple procedures they can insert at will in their design, hence, beating the "fast and easy way" of Joomla or similar.
For a user registration, download the free "Login script" from http://www.web2coders.com
It has no fancy formatting, so it is easy to "layout" the way you want.
Good luck
PS: Sorry, no idea for the name of your site: I am a coder, so I don’t have any imagination

I’m trying to add a few sentences at the top, not as a post, but as heading that would stay there, and not get shifted down like posts do.

I’m using a wordpress template (twenty-ten), and I want to add a permanent paragraph, but can’t figure out how. Do some templates allow this and others don’t? If I were to keep the template, is the only way to change it through editing the CSS? And getting that $15/year program to do so?

If its standard to do this, how do I get there through the wordpress menu? The header just refers to the picture, not type.

Thanks!

It all depends on the template unfortunately. My wife has struggled with this in the past and typically the only way to fix the issue is to get a paid account where you can modify the CSS and PHP templates.

Unless you are a web developer or you have a friend who is one and willing to help (and willing to spend $15/year), you are better off choosing another template.

Having used WordPress to set up over a dozen privately hosted custom blogs this is one cause for irritation when you are trying to use their free service. You just don’t have the same flexibility.

wordpress itself.

if you mean the blog template, I would prefer purchasing an unique template. this can help your blog stand out from the crowd,

some designers can make you the template based on the graphics that you provide. search for "custom wordpress template" or "wordpress template designer"

if you want to do it yourself, you can visit wordrpess forum for many usefull guides.

Is there a way possible I can view a theme only when logged in for wordpress? I only see an option to activate one, which deactivates the current one…

There’s also an option to preview it in the theme area.

I’m designing my own WordPress theme from scratch and I can’t seem to figure out how to edit the next and previous page links to allow users to go to my older blog post. Anyone can provide a step-by-step tutorial for me? Thanks!

This is the basic syntax:

<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>

A marginally-more elegant solution, using two separate calls:

<?php posts_nav_link(”,”,’« Previous Entries’) ?>
<?php posts_nav_link(”,’Next Entries »’,”) ?>

You may, of course, dress these up however your theme demands.

I recently started my new radio show blog and I just can’t get the site to look like I want it I’m looking for someone who could go in for a few mins and add the codes and look I want can anyone help, or suggest an option?

Have you tried the themes that you can download from the WordPress.org site? Check the link below! It explains how to use the different ones you download. Hope this helps!

I started a blog about 10 days ago and my site address is http://www.asianwesternromance.com/ Now I want to add a Chinese version for it without having a new site (like http://www.asianwesternromance.cn) It should be something like http://china.asianwesternromance.com/

Is it possible to do it and how can I make it work? Which level (public_html, wp-content, themes etc) I should add the Chinese folder in. Do I need to have another wordpress theme folder in that level too?

Thank you for your help!
Thank you for your answer JK. But how to set up a a subdomain under china.asianwesternromance.cn Is that mean I still have to get a new domain name?

Sorry, I am not a web designer.
Thanks, everyone. I got it work now

The only way I know of to do it is to set up a a subdomain under china.asianwesternromance.cn, then create a whole new database, and upload fresh blog software to the china domain, and type in chinese.

I am seeking to create my own highly customized blog. I sketched what I wanted it to look like on Paint and now I don’t know where to begin. How do I make the web template I sketched on paint real?

I did a little research and I see that WordPress.com gives full customization control to premium users. But what programs can I use to create the html for the templates I design?

Stay away from programs especially if you are going to create templates with wordpress. You should look at wordpress website for certain functions they have pre-coded. You WILL NOT find these functions within ANY program.

If you want to be very successful coding your template, stick to simple HTML and PHP code from scratch, using google to search for what you want to do.

For example, if you want to make an image into a link, type in google: "html how to make an image a link"

If you want to show a calendar on your wordpress template, search "Wordpress Calendar"

And If you want to make a template for WordPress, search "How to make a template for wordpress"

I am starting up a wordpress design site for fansites, but I am clueless on how to code, and I need sidebars and footers that are made on photoshop. Can someone please help?

You’ll have to learn programming first – that will take about 6 months for the basics. http://www-old.oberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/AD.pdf Then you’ll have to learn PHP, but once you know programming, that’s simple.
