Welcome to the support forums. Please use this forums for any type of questions, bug-reports or any other related stuff concerning my themes. To avoid spam you have to be registered to post in this forum.

Please read the forum rules before you post in the forums. I will not answer questions on basic WordPress functionalities because there are general WordPress forums and the amazing WordPress Codex which do this job better. Check out the tutorials. Most of the questions will be answered here. For unexperienced WordPress useres I reccomend to purchase the e-book “Sites that Soar” by Aisling d´Art. This book shows a step-by-step how-to build up a website using WordPress and BranfordMagazine.

This e-book is highly recommended for new WordPress users who want to use BranfordMagazine or WyntonMagazine.

This forum will be closed down (read only mode) for x-mas and new years holidays. I will answer open topics within the next few days. In January the forum will be fully available again.

Congrats: You really got the sense of the featured page. This can absolutely be a way to deal with this template.

I think I have a sample working…


http://photographybykevin.net/test/?page_id=18


if you can see on the page tab, there is feature page and feature page 2, each will show it's own category list of post…


What ya'll think?

I think I could do this…


<?php
// enter the IDs of which categories you want to display
$display_categories = array(3);
foreach ($display_categories as $category) { ?>
<div class=”clearfloat”>
<?php query_posts(”showposts=5&cat=$category”);
$wp_query->is_category = false;
$wp_query->is_archive = false;
$wp_query->is_home = true;
?>
<h3><a href=”<?php echo get_category_link($category);?>”>
<?php
// name of each category gets printed
single_cat_title(); ?>
</a></h3>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
// this grabs the image filename
$values = get_post_custom_values(”rightcolimage”);
// this checks to see if an image file exists
if (isset($values[0])) {
?>
<a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo('url'); echo '/'; echo get_option('upload_path'); echo '/'; $values = get_post_custom_values(”rightcolimage”); echo $values[0]; ?>” alt=”" /></a>
<?php } ?>
<a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” class=”title”>
<?php
// this is where title of the article gets printed
the_title(); ?>
</a><br />
<?php the_excerpt() ; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>


Inside the feature page template..


If I make multiple copies of the featurepage.php template, let say call it feature1.php, feature2.php, etc., each having that code section and only show a set category, that should work right? Do I need to do anything else for it to see I have multiple feature page template?

Your Website or Blog URL: TBD
Your themes version: 2.5.1
Your WP Version:2.5.1


Hi, I am new to the wordpress word and been scouring the google page for a great theme to fit my need. I have to say, this is the best I've seen so far. Kudo for that one, I sample over 2 dozens similar theme from paid to free type and I like this layout.


I have multiple blogs right now on blogger.com and thinking of consolidating them to one in my domain. Instead of running multiple WP on my domain I was thinking of being creative by using categories to seperate them.


The “feature page” template seems to be a good starting point. My question is this


1) Can I have multiple feature pages using the same template?


2) How would I enhance it so that the feature pages incorporate category? For example, for each feature page template used, it will be base upon a category. In that page, of course you have the featuredpageheadline, one for each pages, but below that, you list the top “x” posting in that category. Similar to how it is listed on the first page.


So essentially, each featured page could be looked at Category pages…


How would one do this?
