I'm designing a website using WordPress. I want to know how to remove the post and comment boxes which is available by default in WordPress...and also I want to know how to add plugin's in that static page
First, create page with name "Home", insert shortcode of plugin or anything you want.
Second, go to Apperance, choose Customize. At Static Front Page, tick A static page radio button, choose "Home" from dropdown list Front page. Save.
In order to remove comments yoy must select the "Screen options" in the post editor (it's an option located at top-right on the screen) and check the Comments checkbox. Then at the editor's bottom you'll find a box with a checkbox to disable comments.
If you're working in Wordpress.com you cannot add plugin's for free. This is for security reasons. You must install Worpress in your own server to do that.
Ok, as per your comments on main question, I understand you want to remove posts and comment box on public facing page, not in WP-Admin panel.
I am giving you an overview of how you can proceed.
If you are using default TwentyThirteen thee then just remove this part from single.php
<?php /* The loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php twentythirteen_post_nav(); ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
This will remove post and comments template.
However I will recommend you to use custom page templates rather :

Here you'll find way to add custom page templates. There you can remove posts and comments :-)

I am using the Hueman wordpress theme in my home. I want to show the featured image on the post but I don't want to that image in a single post.
Can anyone help with this? Here is the link
I think you want to customize single post detail page.
So, go to single.php.
Usally this file is located in your theme path that is as below.
www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/
Go to above path and open single.php. In that remove below code get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); and replace it with
the_title(); //For Post Title
the_content(); //For Content of the post
If you want to add image use the_post_thumbnail( 'single-post-thumbnail');
In Wordpress I have custom template that I apply to pages. This template has number of metaboxes where user can add values. This works fine when post is published, I cannot figure out however the way on how to make content of these metaboxes to show in preview when I click "Preview" button from page editing view in wordpress admin. If someone could point me to right direction that would be much appreciated
You can use
<?php if(is_preview() ) : ?>
//some logical part here
<?php endif; ?>
I want to create a page template that has a pre-fixed css. Lets say I name it page-sevencol.php then I know that the content will have a fixed width and a specific style and so on. My pages have different layouts thats why I need to create these kind of templates.
Is it possible? if so how? Ive looked in the wp codex and it does not seem to have the answer. Please take a minute to help me.
Thank you!
you seem to need just a limited set of templates. The question is: do you want to apply them automatically? Basically, there are two techniques to apply a template to a page (or post or custom post, etc.) in WordPress.
First method: using the template naming convention to get the template automatically applied to a page (or post) with the same name.
In this case, you create a page page-mynewpage.php and this template will automatically get applied to your page named /mynewpage/.
Second method: you create a template by creating a page (let's say : template1.php) and declaring it as a template with a comment at the top of the page:
/**
* Template Name: Template1
*
*/
This template will now be selectable inside the admin of WordPress to be applied to any page:
So if A) you only need a limited set of templates & B) are ok to select them on a per-page basis in the admin, this is your solution. You would just need to create as many pages as you need templates, not forgetting to include the comments that declare them as templates and using a different name each time.
If you need your templates to be applied dynamically, then we need more info about the logic to use for select each template...
EDIT : That is it, Abel (just read your comment). Your page is mainly generated with 4 elements: header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php and another page to produce the content, but this page is different depending on where you are in the site. If you are on a page, it will be, by default, page.php. If you are reading a post, WordPress will by default use single.php.
To apply all your different templates, just go and open page.php in your theme folder. Save it under another name, like page-template7cols.php. Insert a comment like I just explained above, so this template will show in your admin next time you create a new page. Adapt it the way you want (changing the HTML / PHP and therefore adapting the way the content of the page will be displayed). Do the same for your other 9 templates.
Then, everytime you create a new page, just start by selecting the proper template in your dropdown (see previous screen capture). And whenever you will make a change to page-template7cols.php, for example, the changes will be reflected on all pages for which you have selected this template.
/**
Template Name: Template1
*/
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="content-wrap sevencol clearfix">
<div class="row clearfix">
<div class="content">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I use Barecity Theme for WordPress. i built everything, but now i need to add a single.php file to theme. now it displays all post content at homepage, I created a short_desc Custom Field. and I call it from code with;
<?php //get_post_meta($post->ID, 'short_desc', true); ?>
it is fine. but i need to display this short desc at home page listing, and the main content at details page. how can do that?
I appreciate helps!!
It sounds like what you are trying to do is show a custom field that you have set on a post on the index page (which lists all the posts).
To do that you'll need to modify index.php by adding your snippet where you would like to have the short description.
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'short_desc', true); ?>
You need to use echo to display the results from the get_post_meta function.
Depending on how your posts are setup you can also use the More button when you write your posts. This will cut off your post at a certain point that you decide and only show that short part on the index and archive pages.
Another option would be to use
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
Which shows the first 55 words (this can be adjusted though) of the post.
Hope that helps,
Paul
I am trying to display just post title and their links within a set category. However I am running into issues understanding the Codex. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I use this a lot in my blogs. Helpful when you want to display featured items or such.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts#Category_Parameters
http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Style_Posts_From_Some_Category_Differently
You might have seen the above link. I'll explain how it works.
Posts are loaded using the loop. If you do a Query Posts just before the loop, you can choose from select category (or many categories) and also limit the number.
<?php query_posts('cat=1&showposts=5'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt() ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
You can use the above code as many times you wish. Choose the category ID (can be found from the admin) and the number of posts you wish to show.
Comment - if you require additional help.
It seems that you are working on your templates. It basically means that you need to edit correct template and insert the right tags.
Firstly, you need to understand how the template is chosen. WP has special hierarchy for every view. Home page is usually home.php and categories are category.php or category-1.php. If any file is missing, WP simply takes next on the list. Last on the hierarchy list is index.php which is chosen if no other file is found.
[http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Category_display][1]
Secondly, look at the template tags. Displaying only title with link means you need title and permalink tag. Anything else is optional.
