Hi all looking for a Wordpress help. I need to place a simple query/array to display posts from a certain cat e.g "News' that will include the posts featured image. Can anyone please help?

How can I set an a tag to dynamically change the theme currently being displayed by wordpress? I understand the switch function as described in a similar question here: Display page content using multiple templates - WordPress , but I don't know how to implement the change. Should the switch be added to index.php inside a theme, or inside the theme folder? Does my link point to the index.php file? I would like to do this without a plugin if possible. An example of a site which does this already: www.envye.com/wordpress/ Thank you! Use this in function.php function fxn_change_theme($theme) { if

My website is www.rosstheexplorer.com. I use Wordpress. I use the Penscratch theme. I have never consciously tweaked / altered file manager. I made a change to the custom-header.php and that change has caused me to be unable to load my site. My webhost (Bluehost) said they could restore the file on file manager if I could tell them the directory for the file. I have no idea what the directory is. I have always accessed the PHP files through Customise -> Appearance -> Editor. Now I can no longer access Editor or Dashboard, my error has resulted in me being blocked from my site. Can someone who

I recently converted http://usborrow.pizzli.com/apply to a WordPress Page Template for a site. Every other page came out fine, but when I go to http://usborrow.pizzli.com/?page_id=6 , the page seems to lose all of its styling. Any support would be appreciated. Apparently there's an issue with the relative URL reference. Rather than referencing to the stylesheet with <link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> Try absolute path instead <link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> This should work on all pages, assuming that you store the stylesheet file

I am moving a site from normal php to wordpress and currently they use jquery-selectmenu plugin for their select menus. I have tried to enqueu the script in wordpress head with no luck. The scripts from the previous site look as follows. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $siteurl; ?>css/custom-theme/jquery-ui-1.8.1.custom.css" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $siteurl; ?>js/select-menu.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php

Since PHP mail has been disabled on my server it has stopped a theme integrated contact form from working. The theme is called Boldy and it has its own sendmail.php file which uses mail() instead of wp_mail() . Changing mail() to wp_mail() does not work, but I'm not sure why? <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { error_reporting(E_NOTICE); function valid_email($str) { return ( ! preg_match("/^([a-z0-9\+_\-]+)(\.[a-z0-9\+_\-]+)*@([a-z0-9\-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$/ix", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE; } if ($_POST['name'] != '' && $_POST['email'] != '' && valid_email($_POST['email']) == TRUE && strlen($_POST[

I am setting up a Wordpress theme and I'm integrating a facebook "Like" button into each of the categories. I need a way of getting the current page URL in lowercase so I can have several like buttons for all the categories while each having different url links. Currently, when I use <?php get_permalink( ); ?> or <?php the_permalink( ); ?> in the category template, it outputs the URL plus the permalink of the first post, which isn't what I want currently. I've tried using but it outputs the title with the first letter Capped. I need the category name in lowercase for the URL to be valid in
