In reply to: [News CPT] Custom Fields?I should have mentioned each news item record will have an associated pdf file. I was wondering if I needed a custom field to house that, or would I upload using the WP Media Library?

In reply to: [Vote My Post] Add most "voted" to the homepage?I am looking for a similar solution. Perhaps some shortcode? to list the posts and sort by up-votes in a descending sort order (highest to lowest) perhaps with a limit value.

In reply to: [ArtistDataPress] [Plugin: ArtistDataPress] shortcode variable?I can’t seem to limit the number of shows per your shortcode above. The result of the shortcode shows ALL of the shows. I have tried 3 different ways:
[artistdatapress maxshows=4]
[artistdatapress maxshows=4 feedurl=http://feeds.artistdata.com/xml.shows/artist/AR-904CC0A5BD938C99/xml/future]
[artistdatapress maxshows=4 feedurl=http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/mjs-brass-boppers/shows]
I have set the number of shows in the plugin settings to All, but I am using the shortcode on the homepage and want to limit the number of shows to 4. I am using the iCal Style layout option. Version 0.412
Any ideas?

In reply to: Styling Sidebar Widget DropdownsThank you for your help I appreciate it. I see that this
<?php wp_get_archives( $args ); ?>spits out a list of archives. Do I need something similar to populate the drop down list with my categories? This is to go on every page of the site, so both pages and posts.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Styling Sidebar Widget DropdownsWell, I want the dropdown to appear in the header, so I created a widget for the header and used the categories and archives widgets there. I suppose the same logic applies though? I’m not a heavy programmer, is there a reason you suggest the method outlined in the Codex?

In reply to: [WP Carousel] Carousel for ALL Main Categoriessumolari, sorry for the delay in responding, your suggestion of adding multiple instances of a category and setting each instance with a different category and “number of items = 1” seems to be working! Thank you! It is now showing the most recent thumbnail for each category in the carousel. Now I just need to add the category title along with the thumbnail and I’m all set. I’ll let you know if I have problems with that. Thank you very much for your help.

In reply to: [WP Carousel] Carousel for ALL Main CategoriesI Just installed the beta 1.0 and it’s still asking me to populate the Carousel with “posts from a specific category”. If I have 6 categories of say cats, dogs, horses, etc. (as an example) instead of showing 10 entries from the category of cats, I want the carousel to select one post from each. So it would look like
< [cats post] [dogs post] [horses post] >
So, I have not been able to add more than one category to the Carousel. Perhaps I’m just misunderstanding. Thanks!

In reply to: [WP Carousel] Carousel for ALL Main CategoriesYes that’s what I would like to do and thank you for your prompt reponses, I appreciate it! I’ll check out 1.0 and give it a try. Thank you!

In reply to: [WP Carousel] Carousel for ALL Main CategoriesThanks for your reply, I should have added that ideally I am looking to have the latest post from each category to appear in it’s appropriate [slot], so that’s where the image would come from. Does that make sense?
Not sure if this would help you, but I saw this in another post here on this forum:
Midway down, someone explains a hack that worked for them. Hope it helps
