PHP - Need Help With Functions.php File On My Wordpress Site

I have a wordpress site that has a ribbon graphic on the index page posts that are in the category "features", it works great when it's like this:
Code: [Select]
<?php //for better seo, we use alt and titles in h
                query_posts('category_name=features&showposts=4');
                while(have_posts()):the_post();
                $attrs = array(
            'src'    => $src,
            'class'    => "",
            'alt'    => get_the_title(),
            'title'    => get_the_title(),
        );?>

            <!-- Blog entry -->
            <div class="blog_entry">

                <!-- inside -->
                <div class="inside">           


                <!-- Thumbnail -->
                <div class="thumbnail">
                   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title();?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('blogsmall', $attr );?></a>
                </div>
                <!-- /Thumbnail -->

                <!-- Resume -->
                <div class="resume"><div class="featured_banner2"></div>
                    <h3 class="cufon"><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h3>
                    <p class="bigline"><?php the_excerpt();?></p>
                    <br>
<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
                </div>
                <!-- /Resume -->
but when going to the category view it doesn't work to just add the Code: [Select]
<div class="featured_banner2"></div> as all post types get the ribbon.

So I am trying to use a PHP if statement to only apply that featured_banner2 div line to posts with the category name of "features"

I am a total php newbie, so far I tried this but it obviously is not right, I am trying though! lol:

Code: [Select]
<!-- Resume -->
            <div class="resume">
            <?php 
              if ( in_category( 'features' )) {
                <div class="featured_banner2"></div>
                 } 
                      endif;?>

                <h3 class="cufon"><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h3>
                    <p class="bigline"><?php echo  get_the_excerpt();?></p>
                </div>
        <!-- /Resume -->

The Wordpress Atahualpa theme does not appear to be compatible with php 7.2. I know very little about php. I get the following error message in my error log:
=====
[24-Jan-2019 22:14:03 UTC] PHP Warning: Declaration of Walker_Comment2::end_el(&$output, $comment, $depth, $args) should be compatible with Walker::end_el(&$output, $object, $depth = 0, $args = Array) in /home/armst5/public_html/MyBlog/wp-content/themes/atahualpa.3.2/atahualpa/functions/bfa_comment_walker.php on line 145

What does this mean and can I fix it?

Hi

I'm currently in the process of re-developing a website for a client in Wordpress. I've completed the work apart from the fact that on the old site the client has a webpage with an email subscription form for subscribing to a newsletter. The form takes a 'Name' and 'Email Address' and writes these to a MySQL database in the back end.

I've tried adding the code to a page in wordpress and have a few plugins which allow PHP code execution on both the sidebar and page but when the button is clicked to submit the subscription nothing appears to happen as on the origonal page.

I really need to know whether this type of code could be imported into Wordpress and made to work or how to go about writing a wordpress page that will write to the same database.

Any advice on this would be helpful as I'm not a strong php coder.

The Code is as follows:

There's a contact.php page on the origoanl site that calls inc-mailing-list.php that also referrences a mysqlconnections.php file

I've put all the code below for referrence.

Origonal Site: contact.php
Code: <?php
session_start();
$string = strtoupper($_SESSION['string']);
$userstring = strtoupper($_POST['userstring']);
session_destroy();

?>

<?php include("inc-mailing-list.php"); ?></TD>

</script>

pageTracker._trackPageview();

hello dear all, good day dear php-freaks,

 

i want to rssify content from another website into my wordpress-page:

see the source: https://europa.eu/youth/volunteering/project_en

well - is it possible to do this?

of course - i have to ask bout the permission at the site of source.

but the technical site is also interesting :do you think that this is doable!?

note: i only am interested in the summary of the data - that is only a little piece of text.
