    In reply to: How can I add multiple pages to a blog post?

    #16650

    Moved to Support. (Be sure to read the forum rules.)

    I see on your demo site that you have pages with links to “Pages 1 2 3 4” how the heck do I do that?

    Yes, I am wondering this as well.

    I downloaded a plugin called “multiple pages”

    I am not finding this plugin. Where did you get it from? Who is the author?

    In reply to: Blog navigation text color change?

    #16623

    Moved to Support for better/faster help.

    The text you are referring to are called (I think) navigation links? Anyway, in Graphene, they are identified with the #previous and #next-post css tags, which you can then customize however you want.

    In the Graphene style sheet, they are styled like this:

    #previous,
    #previous a,
    #previous a:visited,
    #next-post,
    #next-post a,
    #next-post a:visited {
    color: #929292;
    font: 12px tahoma;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    If you want, you can break this up to show a difference between posts you have visited and posts you haven’t. Just put the #previous a:visited and #next-post a:visited on a separate line and style accordingly.

    Have fun. (I know I did. See this post to see how much you can do with these.)

    First question is why are you using such an old version of the theme on the first website, but the second is updated?

    Other than that, they look great.

    In reply to: Featured PAGES in Slider – not POSTS (please)

    #16672

    Well, the slider is really meant to display posts, not pages. Pages do have a hierarchy, whereas only posts can be assigned to a category. Are you talking about WordPress pages or Worpress posts?(To understand the difference, see this this tutorial.) It seems as if you are asking for a hybrid between the two?

    You can assign posts to a category such as “slider” or “featured” and then make only those posts show up in the slider, however.

    In reply to: Bug? unwanted horizontal scollbar

    #16655

    I’ve never seen Graphene implemented on an RTL site before, so upon first looking at your site, all I can say is “wow!” It looks really great.

    That said, I’m having difficulty figuring out what is going on here. What plugins do you have installed?

    In reply to: Sidebar problems

    #16404

    Yeah, sure.

    Just looking now there is something wrong with your footer on the front page. I think you have an extra </div> in there somewhere, but I’m not positive.

    In reply to: disable Sidebar refresh

    #16550

    Probably not.

    so the refresh makes it start from the very beginning

    The nature of of WordPress and PHP is to create dynamic pages, which basically means they are generated on the fly every time you go to a new page or post. That way, if you change something as someone is reading your blog, they will see the new content immediately.

    See this bit in the Codex for more information.

    I’m not sure that a caching plugin would help with this, either, because of the way swf works, or rather, because of the way it is often implemented.

    I can’t access your site, either. I keep getting a “server not found” error.

    In reply to: Disabling Sidebars in Posts

    #16634

    If you go to the “Widget Areas Options” in Graphene’s General Options, you can enable widget areas that will only appear on the front page. You can the select a one column layout for your blog, which will make all the posts and pages display without sidebars.

    Well, you have gone back to a regular format, and your child theme’s CSS doesn’t contain anything new, so…….

    In reply to: Mulitple sliders on one home page

    #16633

    Well, I’m far from a PHP expert and my MYSQL knowledge is nil, but it seemed that if the data was in separate databases this could difficult to impossible.

    Does it mean I will have to copy/paste a function, modify the query to point to the right table and copy paste some html to add my second (and third, and…) slider on the home page?

    Something like this. You’ll have to figure out a way to get to the right table in the database.

    It seems to me like you are trying to create something like those walls of televisions you see in American newsrooms, with each one showing a different channel. I hope you can pull this off somehow, because it sounds very, very cool. But you will probably have to visit the support pages in the WP Codex, as well as some other forums for PHP and MYSQL help. I don’t know that you will be able to find all the help you need here, as this sounds like some heavy coding.

    Keep us informed,

    Ken
