I am setting up a site using the "Sliding Doors" template, and it has these gorgeous sliding button/image links to the various categories. The only thing is that I can not get them to link properly to the 7 categories I have. I have attempted many ways, but somehow never get more than 2 matching.
Does anyone have a clue on how to get them to organize properly?
Thanks.
hard code the links to the 7 categories in the order you want the categories to appear. so instead of e.g.:
<li class="bk1"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?cat=1">Category 1</a></li>
change it to
<li class="bk1"><a href="http://example.com/category1" alt="Category1">Category1</a></li>
I'll try that. Thank you!!
Nope.. Sadly it does not seem to work. Only the first one wants to click, the others, Cat=2 for instance, never relates to anything. Is there a list of used cat numbers that maybe obsolete or something, where I have to reset them?
B.T.W. the site is http://www.cardesign.tv
Nom, there isn;t any obsolete cat numbers, it depends on the category IDs in your own blog. On MU they are not necessarily in sequence. \
Go to Manage -> Categories and have a look. they; have the ID in front of them , or in the URL when you hover over the link.
When I roll over the links created by the site for its category and tag cloud I am linked to pages with number like 56 and 67. When I hard code thos in the header instead of the 2 through 7 that were there, nothing changes. After I upload the new header it still displays category links to 2 through 7, and I do know it Overwrote the file in transfer..?
clear your cache.
Thank you Andrea.. as always. Which one? The one of Wordpress? How do I do that?
I have deleted the cache.., but it still for instance shows in the header under the "studio" category to be cat=6 where in actual fact it is category 56..?
Um, dutchy? That's not a wordpressMU site.
This forum is for Wordpress *multiUser*, a different software from the single-user version.
you need to go to http://wordpress.org/support/ and you should probably contact the theme author as well.
I have been trying the normal WordPress forum as well as the forum on the developer's site, but am not getting any response at all. I thought that at least the template/interface part was identical between normal and MU?
Yes, but this forum is for MU-specific issues only, and categories and ID numbers are handled differently. That's why I mentioned it above.
