Omits-Bagels: Feb 13, 2001

So for some reason my sidebar isn't displaying on two specific pages. Here is one: http://www.feelslikehomeinparis.com/cook-n-with-class/

This page was created by a third-party and has worked fine for months and now the pages don't display the sidebar anymore. The rest of the sidebars still work fine on the site.

I haven't updated any plugins or anything today.

Does anyone know of a Wordpress integrated storefront that works along the lines of Cafepress? Something where I can upload my logos and have a third party ship and create stuff like Coffee mugs/etc.

I would like to have it displayed on my Wordpress site, if possible.

Anyone know something like that?

BuddyPress is OK. My experience is that a lot of the premade themes for it suck, and that to make it a social CMS I've had to do a lot of custom work. What are your plans for the site?

Ok, so I'm trying to get it set up so that if you're not logged in then the site is inaccessible. One way I've seen to do this is to put this code in to your functions:

code:

add_action( 'init', 're_vis' );

function re_vis() 
{
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && is_front_page() ) {
        wp_redirect( '/wp-login.php' );
        exit;
    }
}

The only catch is that I want it to apply to all areas of the site. If I remove the && is_front_page(), then it sort of works, but creates an infinite redirect loop when the function is called by wp-login.php... any ideas?

Anyone have a recommendation for a really kickass image slider plugin for wordpress?

This is for a computarded client so ideally it needs to be adjustable from within the dashboard (so I don't get called every time she needs to change something.) Basically I've been changing sliders every time I do a sit trying to find one I don't hate.

-Also needs to support captioning in a visually appealing way

Anyone have any experience with nivo slider? The automatic resize it & crop it claims to have sounds like it would fit that bill nicely.

I like Flexslider since the majority of sites I'm doing now are responsive sites, and the slider effect on touch devices is really slick.

One thing I've always wondered is what happens to a child theme if the parent theme gets an update? Could that cause conflicts or problems?

Are there any themes that are particularly suited to serve as the basis for a child theme? The few times I've done it I've always used the twenty eleven theme. I like fairly minimal sites so I'd quite like a theme where I have to add features, rather than spending a lot of time taking features out. What's the most minimal it gets without actually having to start from scratch?

Finally, my retired dad is part of a little photography club. He mentioned that they'd quite like a website where they can each log in and upload their photos and have their own little gallery.

I have no real website experience to speak of, but HTML and CSS are not totally foreign to me. I've downloaded Lynda tutorials, dug through youtube videos and most of this thread, and I still don't have much of an idea where/how to get started.

Can I edit it locally w/o uploading it? How?

Should be pretty straightforward depending on how deep you want to go. If you make your own products and then link to the third party at the last step would be easiest. Harder would be collecting payment/tax/shipping method/etc. and then communicating it to the third party afterward programmatically somehow.

I'm not expert, but I can offer some advice from recently having gone through the Wordpress learning curve.

Basically Wordpress is a little bit like its own language. It's built in PHP, CSS, and HTML, but there are certain things that are specific to Wordpress. For example, if you want to display the current posts on the blog (it's called the loop in Wordpress) there's a certain string of code that will do that for you.

If you already have a theme that you want to change, then the best idea is to use a child theme:
http://op111.net/53/

A child theme is a variation on another theme, called the parent. The parent provides everything for the theme unless the child tells it not to. So, for example, there's a file in every theme called post.php, which tells Wordpress how to render posts that your users are looking at. If there's a post.php file in your child theme then Wordpress will use that file to render it instead of the one that's contained in the parent theme.

The simplest way to change appearances is to edit the style sheet for the theme. This can be done through the Dashboard of your site (under appearance) without creating a child theme, but I'd really recommend making any changes to template files (like the post.php example above) by way of child themes. Editing a theme's files directly is a pretty good way to start getting confused and making it difficult to fix.

Simple stuff that's more technical than styling, like let's say adding a Web Font that can be accessed by your site, can be done through something called functions.php, which can also be edited with the in-dashboard editor.

Plugins are also a way to add functionality without doing too much coding on your own. My experience with plugins is that I find something that's like 70% there, get frustrated with the missing 30%, and then wind up doing it myself.

It's really a question of what you want to do. If you simply want to change branding, colors, fonts, etc., then you can get away with editing the style sheet and not much else. As soon as you start getting in to deeper changes it's probably a good idea to look in to child themes. It was daunting for me at first, but taking an iterative process of getting a general idea of where I wanted to go and then approaching it step by step ended up working out.

I am after a theme that is somewhat similar to https://www.rockpapershotgun.com

I love the very clearly separated, individually enclosed blocks for each post, and want a smallish slider at the top I can put some featured articles in. That's all I need.

I searched ALL DAY yesterday and my god, Wordpress themes are a nightmare to browse. I didn't find even one that I could gel with. I wonder if anyone has a suggestion for a theme I could just go out and buy, with fair documentation, that suits my needs.

A few WP themes I looked at had suitable sliders, but not when you were using it in the 1 column blog with a sidebar style that RPS uses, AND used clearly sperated blocks for each post, and that's a must for me.

Each trait/item modifies one of 4 stats - fighting, sociability, planning, improvisation. The test would calculate your survival rating by comparing your stats to each species - surviving a common zombie attack requires a high sociability because you need the cooperation of other people, for example.

It depends. Do you want to be able to edit the traits and modifiers at a later date, or make a second version? Would you be upset if people could game the system by looking at the code to figure out how to get optimal stats? Do you want a user's results to be saved in a user account? Depending on how simple or complex you want it to be, it could be as little as $100 and as much as $1000, or possibly even more.

SickBeat: Mar 30, 2011

Alright, so I'm pretty new at Wordpress, even though I've worked with it before, tweaking and updating.

My question is, I have to take an already existing .psd and convert it into a WP theme. I already know how to convert a design into HTML/CSS and I was wondering if translating it into WP was easy enough.

Do I need a 'blank' theme, do I make it into a WP at first or make the CSS/HTML markup first, then putting it into the template...

What are the best ways to do this, from your experience? Any tutorials, tools or anything that could help me?

Thanks

The easiest way is to dig through an existing theme - the default is a good start - and look at how it's put together. You will need to have at least a basic understanding of PHP in order to make your own themes.

Other than that, Googling for information is a surprisingly reliable way to find tutorials as there are a LOT of them out there.
