I would want to create a preview in wordpress that would look different than the normal post. I know how I can shorten the text but I want the whole post to have a different css when you click on the link that will send you to page where the post is. I will appreciate any answer or hint. Thanks
You can use Page Templates. Its not available on posts, only on pages but it will look the same. Create a new page, select a different template and click preview.

This may seem novice, but I assure its not.
So, I have a site, which displays blog posts by date from new backwards.
Standard stuff. However, what I'm trying to do is create a temporary homepage, lets call it 'yogo'. It displays some ad, or image, with a button link.
What I'd like is a direct link to the actual blog feed which displays in a given theme site's frontpage. Is it just a block?
When Im in Appearance->Reading, I can change homepage to 'yogo' fine. But, say a visitor is on 'yogo', and I want a button they click on to link to what would be the original theme frontpage with blog content, it should technically be 'Home' but is that coded somewhere through the wordpress software like the Reading mentioned above.
Maybe Im missing something, should I shut off permalinks, and dig for it in actual page extension?
Im trying to avoid using Guten. or Elem. to build out a blog page.
Any advice, thanks in advance.
Once add your code in front-page.php or home.php you can use get_the_permalink() function to get the blog page URL and will pass in "a" HTML tag like this -
Your Blog Name
Might be it can help you.
Just a quick update. actually solved this.. In simple terms, it is possible to do this really quickly through the Wpress UI. From your backend, these are the steps in the following order:
(firstly. shout out 2 user 'mirchev' because if u didn't point out templates I would of been way off. actually after about an hour of research after that) So it all takes place in Setting->Reading. From what I've read, Wpress started off as a blog based system anyways, so it was solved a long time back. Basically to start, 1. Create 2 pages, no need to add any content as long as they are 'new' and you make note of the names.
2. Also important -in the template area to the right panel when the new page editor loads up (you don't need to add any texts, images or whatever, including the area on the right just make sure "default template" is selected. 3. Afterwards, these 2 pages are 2 be used in the Setting->reading section.
What you want to do is when you enter this setting of your Wpress site, instead of having your "homepage" radio button be "latest posts" set it to 'static page,' and 4. important - select 1 of the 2 new pages you created as the static page. 5. Now, also important, for the posts page, select the 2nd of the 2 new pages you created. 6. Once this is done, what happens is your website loads the static page, which you may customize however, and then you can go into your Appearance->menus and add the appropriate link to the 2nd of the 2 new pages you created to load the blog, or link to it whichever way you choose. More often than not a menu item should appear if that is the setting you customized.
..And that is all. if fact I was very surprised just how smooth it was.
good luck ! ..--'''~~**
Separation!
On my website I have a page showing all portfolio items.
Every portfolio item has a link to their own detail page.
My client wants to display every portfolio item on that page (Portfolio page), but not every item needs a detail page.
Some portfolio items only have a title and a preview image.
On their current (Wordpress) website they are overwritting the permalink to '#'. (Using a plugin which I don't seem to find)
I thought about adding a checkbox to the Custom Post Type to wether use the real link or not. But this seems to be way too much work editing every post.
Does anyone know how to solve this easily?
Thank you!
You can use jQuery to remove link from the post and use post id as class or id for identify the post.
In Drupal 7 I created a views page, and I want users to have the option to view the results either as a list, or with thumbnails (like on a lot of websites). The only way I can think of doing that is creating one page with the results as a list, and having a link to another page with the results that have thumbnails.
But my question is, how do I add just a random link to the top of my block page that will direct users to the 'thumbnail' page?
I tried to use 'unfiltered text' in the header and put the html for a link in there, and when I went to the page it looked like a link, but I couldn't click it. Any suggestions?
For every view you can create set of templates to style it. When you edit you view open "Advanced options" and then at bottom click on "Theming options" (or suggestions...can't remember real text).
That way you'll get a very useful popup which displays all templates used by view...in specific theme. So if you want to change some template just click on it's original name, pick up it's original code (copy) and create a file. Save it at your theme templates directory, pick some of suggested names, add your link or what ever html you need and clear the cache.
Templating is a bit broad subject to discuss in details for you questions's answer - find some tutorial on net, but general idea is to use custom view template and store your html there.
BTW, I hope you have only one view and different displays for you different pages.
I am new to Wordpress
I am implementing a custom theme that is derived from the parent theme tewnty twelve.
I want something like bellow:
I am uploading media that will be inserted inside the post. We know that when we click on the post title, it takes us to the full post page. But when i click on the image inside the post, it takes me to the url like this: www.mohin.com/?attachement_id=10 which i don't want. I want the image click takes me to the full post page as the title click does.
Is there anyone who can help me on this issue
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
mohin
Yeah it's pretty straightforward. Just select the image in your post editing window, select the hyperlink icon, and paste the URL you want the link to go to. Update and then check. When clicking the image it should go to that link.
I'm developing a WordPress theme and I need to have a custom URL for some kind of content.
For example, I need to have a page to show some article details. Now, i've created a page template called "Article", and so i've to create a new page and give it the page template "Article"
(I get the url http://mydomain.com/article?id=123)
It works fine, but now i'm having dozens of this pages, and it's a mess to create them all on every installation of this theme, so i want to do it in my theme code.
I saw something near that on BuddyPress, where you can use /member/ and it redirects to a member page. I just wanna know how to do so.
Thanks!
If you are running wordpress 3.0 I would recommend making a custom post type for your articles. That would allow you to control the URL in the way that you want and also allow you to use more sophisticated full text urls if you wanted to.
Here are some links to some tutorials about how to make a custom post type to get you started:

The second one has an example file that you can download and edit to help you get started.
