admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:51:32 +0000

I need to make a free wordpress site, 2 pages
or should i just make a Blogger site?
all aside , can i change the wordpress codes and remove some of the items?
Like some unwanted writings
also the template?
Anyone knows how to upload new template to the wordpress.com site?

Unfortunately you cannot upload your own themes or make modifications to existing ones on WordPress.com if you need to do it you have to get hosting and install WordPress there.
Good luck.

Featured Content Gallery wont work on my eDegree wordpress themes. Please help.

still can’t find solution to work FCG on my eDegree wordpress themes. what must i do?

thanks in advance.

You need to do is edit the file "functions.js" located in /wp-content/themes/edegree/js/. Should be able to get their through the Apperance->Editor in back office of WordPress.

On the second line you’ll see:

jQuery.noConflict();

Change it to this:

//jQuery.noConflict();

How can I code wordpress?

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 11:27:03 +0000

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.

Wordpress design capabilities – is this design possible?

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:54:11 +0000

I’m toying with the idea of creating an affiliate marketing website/blog using wordpress. I really like some of the magazine style themes, especially the MagPress theme. What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to create half static/half blog pages within Wordpress? I know you can do both individually, but can you do both on the same page. I’ll give an example of what I am looking for.

I want a homepage in which the top half is "static" in that it never changes, while about midway down its sectioned off into different categories of blog posts showing new posts and featured posts. I would also like a menu bar that had about 5-7 different items (5-7 different products) and on each one of those pages have the same half static/half blog aspect as well. That way I could advertise the product at the top, then below use some type of autoblogging plugin that constantly changes the posts with new posts about the individual products, mainly so visitors can get different reviews of the products. Is this possible?

I know for a fact you can do this with the Headway Theme for WordPress but it costs money and has a bit of a learning curve. I am not sure if any free themes offer this.

How to style posts on a Wordpress blog?

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:11:09 +0000

I have a self hosted wordpress blog and am using a very simple theme that I created, and I would REALLY appreciate it if someone with more experience w/ Wordpress could take a second to help me out…

I’ll just give all the info and then hopefully someone could shed some light on this for me because as simple as it may be, I am extremely confused and frustrated lol…

First off, my blog is located at: http://ryancallahan.com/blog/

And here is the format (pretty simple) that I am trying to get my posts to appear in upon being published:

DATE
-Format – April 10, 2010
-Font – Arial, Helevetica, Sans-Serif
-Font Size – 10pt
-Font Color – #696969

POST
-Font – Arial, Helevetica, Sans-Serif
-Font Size – 10pt
-Font Color – #ffffff

That’s it, that’s the only content from each post that I’d like to appear on my blog…and then have a div that i already uploaded to my current theme’s images folder that I want to appear in between each post (the divider i want is located at: http://www.ryancallahan.com/blog/wp-content/themes/default/images/blogdiv.jpg)

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE TO ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP ME ACHIEVE THIS!

That’s actually easy, as long as you:

a) know CSS;
b) know a little about date controls in PHP
c) know your way around WP themes.

I am sure there are hundreds of tutorials available on the net. Even in the Wordpress Codex too.

Your styles (font, size, colour) can be done with CSS. You just need to assign your post with a certain CSS class when you make your template. The date can be done with PHP (which is the basis of WP and its templates). Your only task is to learn your way around a WP template. Have a look at the Codex and then practice on the default themes. I’m sure you’ll find your way.

where do i edit html in wordpress?

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:08:56 +0000

I am trying to edit a word press theme, mainly the nav bar but i don’t know where to look for the ul and li items for the list. grateful for any help.

There are many ways to do it. But if you are in wordpress.com, you can’t edit the theme unless you pay css upgrade.

If you are in selfhosted wordpress (wordpress.org) you can do it by: Admin dashboard/Appearance/Editor, look for style.css, but backup your theme first before changing something.

Question on Word Press Themes and Blogging?

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:03:42 +0000

What are some of the best Wordpress themes to buy…are there any with tables?

Any thoughts on Thesis?

Can you make them look like a regular website?
Thanks!

You can make wordpress theme to look like a regular website if you know how. I would not go for Thesis as it is a bit complicated to customize if you are beginner.

Default theme of wordpress 3.0 is looking nice and very very easy to customize.

Editing Post Title in Wordpress?

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 08:27:07 +0000

I’m working on my first ever wordpress theme. http://preview.butterfly-dreams.info/ I got mostly everything figured out except that I want to edit the post title. which would be Hello World. I’m using the default theme and i can’t seem to find where I have to edit it in the style.css. what part of the style.css would have to edit?

Hey,

I have checked your site, and you don’t use default theme anymore

If you want to delete hello world, usually will be done in
Admin/Post/and look for "Hello World" you can either edit the title as you like, or delete and create other one.
Good luck with your new blog

Calling all Wordpress people!?

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:27:08 +0000

Hi can someone who is familiar with Wordpress pls help me out with this!

I know that wordpress was initially made for blogging, but I’m not interested in that at this stage. I am a beginner and all I want to do is to get a 3 page static html website up live. Here’s what I have done so far:

Got my hosting server (godaddy)
Downloaded wordpress.
Created a MySQL database on the host server and connected wordpress to it.
Designed a simple web page on Fireworks.
Converted said design to HTML with an attached Stylesheet. (called index.html & style.css)
Typed in the comment on the stylesheet so that wordpress knows its a theme.

This is where I am stuck. Can anyone recommend a good tutorial or tell me what I should do next – I notice that the default theme has lots of php files. Do I need them if my site will have no blog and will just be static html pages? I am new to php so only know what it stands for.

I’m doing a static html site first just to get my head round wordpress.

Thanks guys!

This should help you get going on a template:
