I've made the addition you suggested and the links still operate.</p> <p>However, I carried out the changes of theme mentioned above before I made your addition, so I'm still at a loss to explain why the theme changes fixed the problem. I understand your point about the "cover up" but both the problem links and some of the others seemed to be opposite the menu. With the addition you've suggested, I guess the problem won't recur.</p> <p>I'm relatively new to WordPress and am not yet really secure with the structures - as you can tell. None of Firebug, WebDeveloper, View Source revealed the problem by the way.</p> <p>Many thanks for your timely help. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/some-links-put-into-pages-do-not-work#post-22597 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 14:42:57 +0000 helgatheviking 22597@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>if you were hovering over them and the links didn't change it was b/c the menu in the sidebar had a width of 940px and was "covering up" the regular content. see my above post for the fix. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/some-links-put-into-pages-do-not-work#post-22594 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 06:41:25 +0000 lachlan39 22594@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Now resolved. But I'd like to know why/how!</p> <p>I activated the 2010 theme - all links behaved as expected. This also occurred with the 2011 theme and the basic thematic theme.</p> <p>So I activated my custom theme again - and now the links worked properly!</p> <p>So now I can go ahead and work on my theme again! </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/some-links-put-into-pages-do-not-work#post-22593 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 05:03:59 +0000 lachlan39 22593@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Thanks. I should have been more explicit. Although the links are underlined, the cursor doesn't change shape when hovered over them, and nothing happens on click. Have a look on the Members page and also the (temporarily unrestricted) Restricted page. As you move down the page they start to "work" and then continue to do so. A lot of the html is cut and pasted which I though could be a problem, but also see the new page Ztemp made completely in WordPress.</p> <p>You're right about the aut site but the one before it certainly loads from a browser.</p> <p>Styling is far from complete but I'm not sure what your comment about weirdness refers to. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/some-links-put-into-pages-do-not-work#post-22592 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 04:37:27 +0000 helgatheviking 22592@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>what do you mean by "most don't work"? what is happening instead?</p> <p><a href="http://www.aut.ac.nz/postgraduate" rel="nofollow">http://www.aut.ac.nz/postgraduate</a></p> <p>is a broken link. it returns a 404 not-found page. it's not that it doesn't work, it is that your link is incorrect or points to a location that no longer exists.</p> <p>as an aside, you've got weirdness coming from your widget menu</p> <p>i'd add</p> <pre><code>.widget_nav_menu .menu { width: auto; }</code></pre> <p>to override the default .menu width that applies to the menu in #access </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/some-links-put-into-pages-do-not-work#post-22588 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:49:25 +0000 lachlan39 22588@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I am using a child theme derived from the thematic sample one with WordPress 3.2. Some of the pages have links (both external and internal) on them. Most don't work. The code seems to be the same for adjoining operational and non-operational links. I have spent hours with Google without success so far!</p> <p>One problematic page is <a href="http://locus39.net/ddogs/?page_id=2" rel="nofollow">http://locus39.net/ddogs/?page_id=2</a> - the first two links do not work but the rest do.</p> <p>Here is an example from that page using 'view page source'. The first link does not work, the next one does:</p> <p>&lt;li class="organisation"&gt;&lt;span class='org_name'&gt;Auckland University of Technology&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;span class='org_type'&gt;(Associate)&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;span class='org_url'&gt;<a href="http://www.aut.ac.nz/postgraduate">http://www.aut.ac.nz/postgraduate</a>&lt;/span&gt;</p> <p>&lt;li class="organisation"&gt;&lt;span class='org_name'&gt;Australian Catholic University&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;span class='org_type'&gt;(Member)&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;span class='org_url'&gt;<a href="http://www.acu.edu.au/about_acu/research/">http://www.acu.edu.au/about_acu/research/</a>&lt;/span&gt;</p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/feature-site-about-not-truncating-on-home-page#post-15196 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 19:36:15 +0000 craigtommola 15196@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Problem Solved - here's what I did in order to cover the need:</p> <p>1. Use a word counter tool to define exactly how long I wanted the excerpt to be.<br /> 2. Installed the Advanced Excerpt plugin.<br /> 3. In the Advanced Excerpt settings, I added my exact excerpt length, and left the Ellipsis and 'Read-more' Text fields BLANK.<br /> 4. Check the "don't remove any markup" box (which I needed to do in order to keep the photo I have in the post)</p> <p>Done. This allows the Thematic Feature Site to use the custom excerpt I wanted. Since I show full length posts (and they're not very long) on the Blog page, this didn't cause any problems.</p> <p>So - this works - for me, in this case, on this site. If you have a more appropriate way of managing this, please don't hesitate to share.</p> <p>Thx<br /> CT </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/feature-site-about-not-truncating-on-home-page#post-15195 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 19:07:40 +0000 craigtommola 15195@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>PS - if you Ctrl + F for Continue Reading, you'll see that the entire post is publishing. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/feature-site-about-not-truncating-on-home-page#post-15194 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 19:06:50 +0000 craigtommola 15194@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://drdeenik.36webhosting.com/" rel="nofollow">http://drdeenik.36webhosting.com/</a></p> <p>Working with Feature Site.

When I clicked on my 'Home' tab, I was directed to the root of my site as usual, after that however I was redirected to this other page.</p> <p>I didn't find a solution and ended up copying my stylesheet and manually copying the content of my pages onto my live site and then copying that site back to my local mirror.
