The following problem on my Wordpress blog (which is still in its initial stage) never happened with any other theme.But Since I have switched to my current theme, "Read more" links at the end of the posts are no more working on the front page of my blog . Similarly, "Older entries" and "Newer entries" links at the bottom of the front page are also gone. But when I click the name of the category ("Techbits") in the side bar or at the bottom of any post, it opens Archives for Category page, where "Read more" and "Older entries/Newer entries" links are working alright.The situation stays the same both in Firefox and IE. Please help me knowing how can I have these two links available and working correctly on the front page as well. The blog is at http://bigtugboat.com (I am sorry I am not allowed live links here yet)
Open your wordpress setting and go to design, in the index.php search the "Read More" using ctrl+f in Firefox and put this code between it <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More</a> HTML: It should works, remember that it should index.php
I am grateful to you sayzlim...it has worked. Not only that, I am happy to notice now I don't have to create a Read More link at the end of a post every time I write one. Thank you for taking time to help me out. Now the "older entries/newer entries" links need to be created. Any help for that please?
just a minute... With some extended hit and trial in index.php, I have been able to make those links. Thank you for showing me the way !
Cool, that means you've grasp how it works... LOL, actually it's pretty easy. I hope you won't encounter this kinds of problem anymore coz (I believe you know how to deal with it right now). Cheers...
"Grasp" would be sort of overrating my know how of it. I just have some very basic idea of this code thing. Unless I was guided by you, I did not know where to go to alter the code
oh...There is a little thing that is refusing to go away: On the main page, some posts are ending ok but some have this [...] at the end. Can this be removed? Thanks.
Can you point out which post? Because it seems no problem with your page so far... or have you fixed it?
Oh...I am so sorry, I delayed in reporting that the problem was fixed after a frustratingly extensive googling that led me to Excerpt Editor plugin which finally resolved the issue. I am so thankful to you sayzlim for your thoughtfulness. Being new to owning a blog and being code-challenged as well,I still have (and will continue to have) some other (big and small) issues for which I hope to get help from generous people like you. Thanks a lot.
I need to reduce the width of the content area on my site.I tried to try it myself but seems like a dangerous tweaking and so I am seeking help. This is the stylesheet of my theme: /* Theme Name: Headless Theme URI: http://ozanonay.com/blog/blogging/headless-wordpress-theme Description: Headless WordPress theme is clean, pixel-perfect and grid-based. Since content is king, the 'header' is placed at the bottom leaving more content above the fold. Version: 0.9.2 Author: Ozan Onay Author URI: http://ozanonay.com/ Tags: simple, minimalist, fixed width, two columns, right sidebar, widget ready, valid CSS, valid XHTML, gray, white, gravatars ************* Released on a Creative Commons GNU GPL license. See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/ for more details. An 18px grid is used for aesthetic purposes. It is strictly adhered to on the vertical axis, and generally adhered to on the horizontal axis. Modifications will have the best result if all sizes (particularly line heights) are kept as multiples of 18. Notice that this can be a bit tricky when divs have borders (so for example where there's a 1px border, padding/margin should be 17/35/53 px). I haven't styled the calendar, so you should style this before you use it. *************/ /* Initialisation */ * { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration:none; } .clear, .postmetadata {clear: both;} /* Core structure */ #page {margin: 54px auto;
