rename "Home" in Wasteland theme

[ericisrael42]

Hello Again Mina. Hope this email finds you well! I am building a new blog and using your theme. How do I create pages to be "child" of a "parent"? When I create the page and put the page under a parent, it doesn't show that way when I look at the blog? In the dashboard, it allows me to do it but when I publish and go look, the child page does not show? Am I missing something??

[Mina]

Are you talking about in the horizontal menu or the sidebar? Are you using any plugins that affect the area (ie - menu plugins or sidebar plugins)? Have you made any changes to the style.css file and if so what?

The theme is designed to automatically show child pages (and categories) in the sidebar (but not the horizontal menu) right out of the box so if they're not showing, something is off. Can you tell me how you create the child pages?

[ericisrael42]

No plugins. I wanted them in the horizontal bar and didn't really care about the sidebar.

[Mina]

I think you're best to get child pages showing in the horizontal menubar would be a navigation plugin.

I have heard good things about the Multi-Level Navigation plugin in particular.

Thanks for your advice. Another question: the site I am working on is http://summitrealtygrp.info/. Is there away for you to write the code so that the logo I have will remain in it's current position at the top right without being in a widget? I'd like to bury the logo in the CSS somewhere so it can't be removed unless someone knows CSS. Being in the widget is too easy to remove. The JPG URL is to our parent site so that URL won't have a problem being buried in the CSS. Can you help?

[Mina]

You need to add the code in the sidebar template file, not the css stylesheet. Go into Admin >> Appearances >> Editor >> right_sidebar.php and add this code directly BELOW the <ul> tag at the top of the page:

  Code:

<li><a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/XXXXX.jpg" alt="" /></a></li>

Then upload the image to the images directory of the theme and change the XXXXX.jpg to your image's name. Also insert URL in place of the # sign at the beginning of the code.

Adding the code there will insure that it is always showing regardless of whether or not you use any widgets.

Thought this would be easy but not sure I get it. The logo has a name once I upload it through the media tab. The name of the logo that it got was: http://summitrealtygrp.info/wp-content/ ... uarter.jpg. I am not having the logo link to anywhere so I would assume the same JPG URL would be: http://summitrealtygrp.info/wp-content/ ... uarter.jpg. So, when I plug this into your code template, I get this and it doesn't work??:

<li><a href="http://summitrealtygrp.com/files/2010/05/Small-dark-blue-three-quarter.JPG"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/http://summitrealtygrp.com/files/2010/05/Small-dark-blue-three-quarter.JPG" alt="" /></a></li>

[Mina]

Don't upload it through the media tab, just upload it to the theme's images directory (through ftp or cpanel to the same place where the header image is located). If you look at the code I gave you, it just has the image's name not a url. The url I mentioned was if you wanted it to link somewhere, since you don't then don't put anything in there.

So then the code in your right sidebar file should look like this:

  Code:

<li><a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/Small-dark-blue-three-quarter.JPG" alt="" /></a></li>

Hello MIna, Hope this note finds you doing well:) I have a problem and wondering if you can help. As I explained in an earlier email, I am working on this site: http://summitrealtygrp.info/about/. The Summit logo is now in the CSS and not in a widget. The header image and RSS image are in the theme zip file under "images". I have attached a screenshot of what the site looks like currently on my end. I am hosting this currently through Go-daddy. I have sent the same exact theme to the company hosting our company site which is a Wordpress multi user platform and when he uploads the theme, the images don't show as evidenced by the attached screenshot. I have asked him what the problem is and they don't know. Can you offer any explanation?

[ericisrael42]

Please disregard my last email as the company I deal with has found the problem. Thanks for always being there.
