I don’t know. Seems to be gone now. Which is really odd. But I am not complaining, so, never mind.

Yes, I checked the html source several times and it’s just empty where the variable should show up.

<style type="text/css">
# { background:url("./images/sprites.png")   no-repeat; height: 30px; width: 100px }
</style>

I am trying to style the position of the background-image, so that the menu item looks different when you are on the page that menu item otherwise would lead to (If it should work, I will add some more variables and totally disable the button of the current page).
The link itself is just a transparent gif, re-sized to the size of the button, which is just the background image, that changes if you hover over it with mouse.

I am working on xampp and can’t provide a live view.

This would be an example of how the buttons are styled in the css:

#menu-icon-01 { background:url("./images/sprites.png") -202px -113px no-repeat; height: 30px; width: 100px }
#menu-icon-02 { background:url("./images/sprites.png") -303px -113px no-repeat; height: 30px; width: 100px }
#menu-icon-03 { background:url("./images/sprites.png") -404px -113px no-repeat; height: 30px; width: 100px }

#menu-icon-01 a:hover { background:url("./images/sprites.png") -202px -144px no-repeat; height: 30px; width: 100px }
#menu-icon-02 a:hover { background:url("./images/sprites.png") -303px -144px no-repeat; height: 30px; width: 100px }
#menu-icon-03 a:hover { background:url("./images/sprites.png") -404px -144px no-repeat; height: 30px; width: 100px }

ok, I seem to have found the problem…

I managed it in the main index, by moving
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`
above the info-block.

But in my archives, its not that easy…

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<div class="main_cent">

<div class="co_name_bg">

<div class="boxalign1">
<div class="datebox"><?php the_time('m jS, Y') ?></div>	</div>

<div class="boxalign2"><div class="titlebox"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></div></div>

<div class="boxalign3"><div class="quotebox"><?
include("/www/htdocs/w009de8a/front/randomquote/randomquote.php");
?></div></div>

<div class="boxalign4"><div class="autorbox">Author: <?php the_author(); ?></div></div>

<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/spacer.gif" alt="" align="top" style="width:7px; height:1px"/>

							</div>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/spacer.gif" alt="" align="top" style="width:100px; height:154px"/>
<div class="zindexlow"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/headers/<?php echo(rand(1,66)); ?>.png"
width="583" height="184" />
					</div>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $warptext = false; ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if($warptext) {?>
		<div class="wrapit">
<div class="dateboxA"><?php the_time('m jS, Y') ?></div>	

<div class="titleboxB"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></div>

<div class="autorboxC">Author: <?php the_author(); ?></div>
		</div>
<?} ?>

<?php $warptext = true; ?>

<div class="content_txt">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?><br /><br />
</div>

<div class="buttonbox">
<a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/commentbutton.png" border="0" alt="" /></a>

<div class="buttontext"><a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number('0', '1', '%', 'number'); ?></a>

</div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else : ?>
<div class="content_txt" style="padding:13px 10px 10px 3px; line-height:1.31em ">
<h2>Not Found</h2><br />
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p><br />

</div>
	<?php endif; ?>

<?php previous_post()?> <?php next_post()?>
	</div>

<div class="right_1"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/spacer.gif" alt="" align="top" style="width:51px; height:1px"/></div>

		</div>
		</div>
	<div class="footer">
<div class="footer_txt">

</div></div>
		</div>
		</div></div>
</body>
</html>

This is my archive loop.
There is a special part “warptext” which allows me to have a graphic-heading above every post, except the first one. Works like a charm, except for the author thing.
The funny part is, that title and post date don’t mind being outsite the
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`
part.

I am confused…

can’t find it anymore…

maybe someone changed it allready?
If I happen to stumple over it again, I’ll let you know.

Thanks!

Seem to work.
Someone should change the codex accordingly. In the template hirarchy it says, it doesn’t work anymore…

I am using Widget which is why i can’t change it in sidebar.php

but renaming the Category-widget does nothing to it…

http://wiki.rpg-community.com

as you can see it still says Categories, althought i changed the title of the widget to “Index”…
