I am working on a WordPress site for a client and want to know where the styling for the blog would be located. The blog can be viewed here http://ruthcrocker.whoistheoldguy.com/blog/. Pretty much what I want to do is make the whole blog page narrower and centered to match the styling of the rest of the site. Then place the categories and subscribers to the right and have the most recent blog posts in the middle. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
See Theme Development in the Wordpress Manual.
The basic stylesheet is located here:

But I would have a look at:

I'm developing a magazine/blog site with wordpress for my school project. After selecting theme and all that stuff, I started to add my content into site via posts section in wordpress. After writing some articles i noticed that my titles are all "Auto Draft". After many tries, i managed to fix it for some of my articles but others remain same. I've fixed it even with JQuery in add post section but it only fixes when I'm viewing that post. When I look at my posts in home page article's title is same:"Auto Draft". Can you help me fix that? Thanks in advance.
It's just my inexperience. You must make your theme default and disable all plugins if you're having same problem with me. Then activate all plugins and your theme one by one and check your site each time. You can easily find the source of the problem then.
The site is a charity site, which is expected to have a news feed of goings on within the charity and events. Most of the home page is complete. But I don't know exactly how to write the code for an article in bootstrap, so that when I upload it to WordPress, it will interact properly. Allowing me to create new articles, remove old ones, etc. I either need to find out how to do this, or find out if I can use plugins to give me the same effect. This is my first time using WordPress. If you know of even a tutorial or something that helps with the news feed being built in bootstrap to work in WordPress, I would be over the moon. Thank you to anyone who offers their help!
I've tried to find an answer online but all I get are pre-built news theme suggestions. I guess there just that many it drowns out any answers.
The short answer is no.
A bootstrap theme is just a static page. (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.) But WordPress creates all its pages dynamically. This is because all the blog posts are saved in a database. In order to work with WordPress, you would really need to use a WordPress theme. If you know PHP you could easily migrate your bootstrap theme to a WP theme.
There is even a bootstrap starter Theme which might help you to get started: https://de.wordpress.org/themes/wp-bootstrap-starter/
In this case you would really just need to add your markup, styles and scripts to the project.
I'm having a hard time with a wordpress mobile theme named mobify. I need the theme to display each of the posts in a mobile browser with full text and picture, but it only does that for the first 2 posts. Me being a web developer and not too familiar with Wordpress have looked at the html code and tracked the culprit down to the tag that's present in the first two posts and not in the rest. It's
<div class="entry">
I'm pretty sure I can find a way to hack this css class into the backend of the Wordpress script, but I'm asking the experts, what's the Wordpress way to modify the script so it's present in every subsequent post after?
Peter here -- I'm the Chief Architect at Mobify. The Wordpress plugin has been deprecated & discontinued for some time. We did indicate that in the plugin page -- but I realize there are still some blogs / sites that have direct links.
We still support Wordpress, and every content management platform. There's just no longer any need for a platform specific plugin -- we can support every platform using a simple HTML tag inserted into the page. Give us another look. Feel free to get in touch if you have further questions.
I have a website and a blog. I want to insert an iframe into the website, displaying the latest post from the blog.
So I need just the post content inside the iframe, without wordpress headers and sidebars.
Whats the best approach to achieve this?
Thanks for help.
If the site and the blog are on the same domain, you may be best off querying the latest post using the Wordpress API itself, making it unnecessary to fiddle with an iframe.
How to do that is described in Integrating WordPress with Your Website on the WordPress Codex.
If you need to do this using an iframe, I guess it's easiest to set up a new theme that doesn't display anything but the post itself. That would be some work though.
I recently put together a video tutorial of how I did this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GuocgQlCmw
I didn't get rid of the WordPress sidebar, but the tutorial shows how I used Firebug to get rid of parts of the header and the same technique should work for the sidebar. There are links in the youtube description to all the reference material I used including a link to a blog entry I wrote describing the process.
This doesn't really answer the question but why don't you use Wordpress for all of your website if you use templates you can make it look like a website and also have a blog. Have a look at this site i made using just Wordpress http://www.smkrc.co.uk. By doing this you would have access to the posts and would not need to use iframes.
Is it possible to create an image gallery in wordpress that is managed by the admin via it's own page / panel. I am not talking about creating a new post and adding custom html for each image. I mean actually having a page in the admin that has the ability to upload and manage your images?
If it is possible how do you go about creating a custom page like this? I understand the PHP side of uploading and manipulating images, but I don't know how to integrate it with wordpress. I don't need a full blow tutorial on how to do this, but if you could just point me in the right direction that would be great.
One issue that comes to mind right away, is if this is possible would upgrading wordpress break the code? Since I assume you have to edit the admin files directly and you can't just do it from your own custom template?
From playing around I found NextGEN Gallery (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) that has a tab in your admin panel. It looks like it would meet your needs.
You can manage all your media from the WordPress Media Library using tags if you install Tag Gallery
It requires the Media Tags plugin but it makes managing galleries so much easier and your using the built in media facilities of WordPress so it's not disjoint from the experience. There is a new version in the works that will offer much more impressive functionality as well.
Hope that helps.
There are a huge amount of image galleries for wordpress already made. Have a quick google for some (search "wordpress image gallery") and see if any of them are suitable (I'll be surprised if one of them isn't).
Failing that, you'll need to create yourself a Wordpress Plugin.
I've integrated ZenPhoto into my wordpress blog. It was pretty easy, would probably take you a few hours. The admin pages are completely separate from the wordpress admin pages, so you can easily give access to only one person.
You can create a custom post type called Gallery to manage create and manage image galleries. The post will have its own "Gallery" panel in the admin section and from there you can add new galleries just as you describe. There are lost of tutorials for creating gallery custom post types.
