I forgot to ask: are you using Firebug at all (a web developer plug-in for Firefox, Google Chrome etc)? If not it offers a very useful tool for quickly tracking down how CSS styles are applied on your web pages and helps you to see how precedence works (when a style is applied within nested divs etc). You can even do some limited live edits of the CSS to quickly test things out or remove styles that aren't working. I found that it really helped me to get my head around how CSS works - though there is a slight learning curve when first using it. As Jamie says above; try and work out how to apply your styles generally across the page to avoid conflicts (in your case work out what all the widget elements have in common) before targeting specific areas. For example (using your site code): The <code>.aside</code> class will apply styles to all of the areas that contain widgets. Then use the more specific widget classes and ids to make more targeted changes. <code>id="header-left"</code> will style that particular column area <code>class=".widget_recent_entries"</code> will style that specific widget mrsmarshah on "Inserting post-thumbnails in Thematic" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/inserting-post-thumbnails-in-thematic#post-15480 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 10:00:01 +0000 mrsmarshah 15480@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi Chris, I am having the same problem but I am using get_the_post_thumbnail.

However, I'm having a real problem when it comes to changing or adding to the structure of my site. I'm not sure the right words for it, but whenever I try to follow instructions for adding some new feature to my site, I run into the dreaded "now add xxx to your index.php" step. I can't do that of course because all those template files are overwritten whenever thematic upgrades itself. What am I supposed to do? For example, right now I'm trying to follow the instructions here: <a href="http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/introducing-wordpress-3-custom-taxonomies/" rel="nofollow">http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/introducing-wordpress-3-custom-taxonomies/</a> and it calls for me to edit several template files. How do I get around that without actually editing any of thematic's core files? I have the same problem trying to change stuff in the thematic "extensions" files. What I have done requires massive amounts of code to be added to my functions.php (99% of which is greek to me), and all to achieve only the most minute changes. Isn't there an easier way? em hr on ""Older posts" link broken in search results" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/older-posts-link-broken-in-search-results#post-15475 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:00:14 +0000 em hr 15475@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hi jcollier- <pre><code>get_bloginfo('home')</code></pre> has been deprecated in favor of <pre><code>get_bloginfo( 'url' )</code></pre> try that substitution and report back.

Then rename the folder to what you want you theme to be. Now go inside your newly renamed folder and open up style.css. You'll see header info at the top, modify that to your liking, ie: give it your own theme name, put your name etc... " Make sure you did this with a clean "Thematic" install!!! or else your previous mods will change things" Go into your Wordpress admin panel, and you should now see a new available theme, the one you just created. Even if there is nothing new in the style.css or functions.php! Change your theme to that one before starting any of your edits. The goal of a child theme is to never, ever touch the parent theme. This way, if Thematic releases a new version, you simply upload the new version replacing the old one and your child theme should remain unaffected. ---- The functions.php is used to add, remove or edit what Thematic does out of the box. ie: add a new <div> in the header or footer. Remove the entire drop down menu etc... If all you want to do is change the look and make minor adjustments that are all CSS based, then you don't need to touch the functions.php file, only style.css. You see what happens is that your theme folder, style.css file inside it points to the main "thematic" folder. Wordpress sees that and uses everything from the original thematic folder and styles ..... unless you add your own css twists in your child theme's style.css file. So using Firebug, rigth-click on anything on your blog and it will "inspect" it and return the section of code and its appropriate CSS. Because CSS (cascading style sheet) inherits, your theme inherits all the default "Thematic" css definitions. Say "thematic" styles "h2.entry-title" a widht a font size of 11px and you want it to be 16px. All you need to add to your style.css is: h2.entry-title {font-size:16px;} If your style.css depends on new images you created such as buttons or background images, then create a "images" folder inside your own child theme folder and link to them. That's it, wordpress will keep all the other css definitions and "update" the font-size only! It gets kinda weird when you use the functions.php file and manipulate the many "hooks" in Thematic. I had a hard time grasping the whole context.

PSFlannery's suggestion is right, in your child theme's style.css add this: .entry-content img { border:10px solid #000; } Change the CSS to your needs, but basically with a child theme you only need to add what you want to make different. IE: in this case change .entry-content img css only. Don't mess around with deleting .aligncenter etc... Try just adding that new specification for .entry-content img. Using Firefox and the firebug plugin, right click on your image and you'll see exactly what is influencing the styling. (ie: .aligncenter img will show up first then .entry-content. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the child theme concept, I thought all the CSS had to be re-written, but you want to do the complete opposite and cause the least amount of changes as possible to achieve you goal. In summary: - Firefox or Safari with the Firebug plugin and "inspect" your current site and the image in question. It will tell you a lot. - Only add the .entry-content img css changes you want to change. - Finally, using firebug, you'll see that Wordpress has given your image a unique class of wp-image-73 which you can use to style that one specific image. Not really great, but will work in a pinch!

The result is the same: Name shows from the else segment only. @helgatheviking: if I add the following code outside the if statement, it simply does as expected and returns the text for the entered website address: <code><?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'author_website', true); ?></code> _________ This new version has some success and actually shows the name with the proper link. But, it does NOT use the else segment when NO web site data is entered in the field (instead it links the author name with just "http:/" rather than just showing the name): <pre><code><?php $author_website == get_post_meta($post->ID, 'author_website', true); if ($author_website !== '') { echo '<a href="http://' . get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'author_website', true) . '" title="View author&rsquo;s website">' . get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'author_name', true) . '</a>'; } else { echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'author_name', true); } ?></code></pre> Note that both lines 1 and 2 utilize double equals "==" (if not, then just the name shows up) and I used the longer <code>' . get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'author_website', true) . '</code> in line 3 instead of just <code>' . $author_website . '</code> So, the question is: is there some syntax or other issue that stops it from using the else segment when no data is entered in the author website field? _________ I finally have a prototype site that shows the above code in action (for now): <a href="http://themagpielist.com/page/2/" rel="nofollow">http://themagpielist.com/page/2/</a> The first name at the bottom of the list shows a properly linked name while the other two posts do not have website data entered in the author_website field and show the wrong link. zhafran on "How to add superfish menu?" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-superfish-menu#post-15459 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:50:47 +0000 zhafran 15459@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Hello there, I'm a thematic newcomer and I'm sorry for this stupid basic question - how to add superfish menu function in thematic child theme?

I'll try and find some proper internet and sort it so you can help!! The link thing is a little odd. the problem i'm trying to fix at the moment is that my menu buttons are repeating. The first button which links to home, coming after <li class="tab tab-home"> in the functions.php file only has one button, and when you inspect item in firebug, in the html on the left it shows up only one link to the homepage. the rest of the tabs show up two links, one of which comes from me in the functions.php file, the other does not. I'm trying to work out where the other one comes from, as that may be the same place that is doubling up my tabs! I've searched through all the files in the themes folder and can't find the links it is showing, so have no clue why it is there... i am awfully confused!! matteoc on "Display Subpages in Pages with smart layout with title, summary and link" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/display-subpages-in-pages-with-smart-layout-with-title-summary-and-link#post-15447 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 11:17:45 +0000 matteoc 15447@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I am sorry to bore you with this question, probably it requires just basic WP theme customization. I would like to create, before the footer of each of my pages, a smart display of the subpages of said page. I would like to have the first few lines of the subpages displayed, along with the title and a link to "read more" of the page. Ideally this would use a 2 column layout so to display the different subpages in a sort of grid. I have tried a number of plugins that allow to list the subpages (titles only). What I am specifically looking for is a way to provide also a summary of the text of the page and a separate link to go to the subpage. Thank you so much for your help.
