I have a WP website which has a home with a top banner and 2 more controllable panel like here.
My question is what is the best way to keep this controllable via admin?
The way I did it was to create two categories by the names "Latest Updates" and "New in 2013!" and then coded it such that the posts coming under the categories gets displayed in their respective panels on the home page. The image as usual controlled via the Featured Image of the post. A pretty basic setup to manage its content via posts to keep the layout intact and at the same time do the task.
I had suggestions where we should keep it right there in WP editor for control i.e. put all the div / ul / li etc. right there in the WP editor using the text part and have the admin control it right from there.
I need to know which method is better for implementation i.e. managing via posts like it is now or keep it right there in the editor and put HTML content in the editor.
All recommendations much appreciated.
Your first one method is correct ,easy and safe.
Safe Because,If accidentally any change in editor then all showing content breaked

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!
I need a WordPress plugin that will let me hide a bunch of content until a user clicks on a Read More link.
Sounds easy, but here's the twist:
I need to hide both text and images
The content is set up in separate WP Bakery blocks
All the plugins I found so far only work within a single block, they can't hide multiple blocks.
I'm a designer, not a developer, so I'm sure I'm missing something. Is there a reason this can't exist?
Please halp! I really don't want to redo the content.
I talk in pictures better than in words, so here's an illustration of what I mean
I need to convert simple one page web to the Wordpress side.
All I need to do is be able to change texts, not layout.
Page has a sections. How should I develop the page, to make each section text editable.
As far as I understand, in wordpress menu I will create several pages, which will represent each section in my page.
but how can I do that ? Thank you so much!
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 have recently started using Drupal but I am having a bit of difficulty editing some blocks. I've gone into the blocks admin menu and I can see a list of all of the different blocks being used and they have the configure option next to them.
If I click configure on some of them, on the next page I am given the 'edit block' box but on others the box doesn't show up (e.g. footer). How can I make the edit box show up or is there another way to edit them?
Thanks for any help.
1] visit this link http://drupal.org/project/block_edit and download module and install it on your site.
2] visit this link to apply setting admin/settings/block_edit.
What actually this module do?
It's provide a edit link on block itself where you are viewing it. Now clicking on edit link will redirect you to specific block edit page. This means need not to go deep inside and find block you want to edit.
Some modules, like the menu module, add blocks with auto-generated content that cannot be edited directly from the blocks admin page. Usually only content blocks added by yourself will have the edit block content option.
Footer will be a menu block, so there will be no editable area. If you want to make changes to the menu you'd need to edit the menu rather than the block.
