mrsportsfansblog on "Embeding Codes"
July 22, 2011 at 3:00 PM
 

I want to embed a "Cover it live" event code but it only creates a pop-up link instead of actually showing the chat in the actual post. Is there anyway to do this or is an upgrade needed? Thanks!

Cruising is such a fun way to vacation! Think of when you have booked a hotel on land for a week, paid for food, and entertainment. The price that you have to pay for all of those vacation goodies gets quit expensive. When on a Cruise, the price actually is cheaper than the land vacation. The Cruise price includes your room, food, and entertainment. Plus there are so many activities on a cruise ship. There is even places for Teens to have fun, younger children too! The ships stop at ports, where one can get off the ship and have a great adventure in town. Possibly one will just want to stay on the ship and relax in the sun and take a dip or two in the fabulous pools. Did you say you have not been on a Cruise before? There are one to two day cruises, if you would like to get familiar with it. A nice 7 day cruise is wonderful! A family cruise on Carnival Cruises will keep you busy with fun and excitement. Holland Cruises are romantic, and also entertaining for children. Book a cruise today and make your vacation a fun and memorable one!
What are you waiting for? You deserve to relax and have fun and cruising is the way to go!

I am having an issue trying to do somethign seemingly simple.

On my blog I want to have multiple pages. Let's call them A, B and C for simplicity. When I write anew post, I want to post them to a specific page. HOW do i do this? There's no option like "post to which page" when you make the post. It just always seems to appear on the main page.

Secondly, I don't WANT any new post I make to automatically post to the home page. What if i want the home page to be static? I also somehow managed to apparently delete whatever page the "home" page was, as no post anymore finds itself to the homepage, it just says "sorry no posts matched your criteria" on the home page. Do I have to name a page something specific for it to be the Home page?

OK. I will just search around to see what a featured image page looks like. In theory, then all posts can have a featured image. peregrine

   
   
panaghiotisadam on "problems with getting my pictures and text to stay where I put them"
July 22, 2011 at 2:36 PM
 

No sledge hammers please! It's just that arranging multiple images and chunks of text is practically impossible if you only use the simple tools of the visual editor. And the situation is worse when you're using a flexible-width theme: if you don't use the right HTML, each visitor will see a different mess (depending on their monitor size and screen resolution).

The first link you gave me is of no use to me: I don't have access to your dashboard. The link to your published post is ok, as I can check the sourcecode of the post and see your HTML.

But with so much stuff in the post, it's difficult for me to figure out what you want - especially since there may be other mistakes too (for example, if you want three images in a row, you don't set the alignment of the middle one to center).

So, to make sure we sort this out correctly, you must tell me exactly what you want where (what should be left, what should be right, what side-by-side with what, what below what).

I have a blog for a year already. I was actively use it last year. Since this year, I started to use smart phone for blog update.

However, recently I forgot my user name for login via wordpress website. After getting back the user name, I log into my account, my account does not link to my blog any more. it looks like a newly registered account to me.

How can I link my account to my blog again? (currently, I can view my previous blogs as the url is still valid, however, i can not post any blogs).

Many thanks in advance for help.

The featured post thing does not work on the site main page. Just on single post pages and static pages.

I don't know of any right off hand.

Search the forums for "chateau" and see what comes up. There have been a number of threads on it and you can perhaps see if any of the posters are using the featured image feature.

Are you referring to the sidebar widgets on your blog? These widgets are enabled on default and you can overwrite these when you activate new widgets from 'Appearance' --> 'Widgets' in your Dashboard.

OK. thank you. I went to Panos' WordPressTips and saw that verbal explanation. Is there an actual blog out there somewhere that is showing a featured image in Chateau, though?

If the post with its featured image is the most recent post in the Chateau theme, does the regular header get replaced by the special picture that I chose to go with the article/post?????

I know that wordpress can make adjustments, but I don't know that they can make adjustments on a blog by blog basis.

You can contact them directly at http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ and discuss it with them. On the contact page, just search for anything and after the search, go to the bottom of the page and click "no" and then the contact form will appear.

I went to post my first post, when I discovered that I was using the HTML editor instead of the visual one. I have tried multiple times to change back to the visual editor but can't seem to! It's getting really frustrating, and I have looked up how to change the editor and all I get is results from the old WP before it was updated. Please help, and tell me how to change back to the VISUAL editor. Inbox me, or email me @[email redacted]

Thank you

@mmadfan

AGREE! I'm currently using 'The Morning After'
its very good as it gives good exposure to the latest post and lets you have featured posts (sticky posts) all on the home page.

cons: yes... agree again, hard to navigate to older posts.

thesacredpath on "Max Width of Image Gallery"
July 22, 2011 at 12:36 PM
 

When inserting a gallery, you want to click the "show" button for each image and under "link URL" select "file URL. That will open the images directly in the browser window instead of inside a formatted page.

Go back into that post, edit each image and select "file URL under link URL and then after making the changes, click the "save changes" button at the bottom of the gallery insert page and then "update" your post.

thesacredpath on "Hiding Title in Manifest Theme"
July 22, 2011 at 12:30 PM
 

There is a convoluted way of doing it where you put a transparent PNG image the same size as your header image into a text widget and link it to your main page. Then you size the widget (by ID# to the exact size of the image and use position absolute to move it up and over the top of your header image.

Otherwise, no.

Here's a third question.

Alternatively, if I want to skip the header and just change the font of the site title, could you tell me the CSS for that? I didn't find a mention of the site-title in the theme CSS.

Thanks, S

Since you did not include a link to your site, I cannot look at it, so the following is a generic answer.

Create an archives page and then in the page editor in the attributes module select the archives page template and publish and then go to your custom menu and add it to the custom menu.

Hello,

I hid the site title using this CSS:

#searchform,#site-title {
display:none;
}

Two questions:

1. The title is no longer clickable to get back to the home page. Is there a way to change that?

2. When you visit a page, the sub-page menu remains visible, which enters into the header area (now blog title) and looks funky. It's not usual for a sub menu to stay visible when you visit a page. Is this the way the theme is designed or a glitch. You can look at my about page to see what happens.

I'm at http://alwayswellwithin.com

Thanks so much! Sandra

How does one create a menu with pages and their sub-pages? I have added all my pages but the sub-pages are showing in the main menu rather than appearing when the parent page is hovered over - as in the Theme Demo: CatA CatB CatC.

Also, how does one create the Archive page in the menu as shown in the Demo?

Thanks for suggestions!

I am using Chateau theme. I liked this option because the front page featured a single post, and at the bottom of the page was a 'check out previous articles' in concise format. I noticed that that option has disappeared, and only full versions of each post are now showing. Did I somehow change an Appearance setting?
