 * You have to create one before you can select it. You can create galleries by 
   uploading images to the Media library – or directly IN your page or post. If 
   you upload in a Page or Post, those images are “attached” to the page or post….
   but are also part of the Media Library. You can upload images via the main Media
   tools and those will not be associated with any particular page or post.
 * To create a slidepress gallery, use the Create New Gallery option from the dropdown
   button. Name the gallery. Ok and save your page or post.
 * Now, from the slidepress button again, choose “select gallery” and you’ll get
   a menu of the available galleries you’ve created. Choose one (there’s only one
   probably)
 * Save and test.

 * Figure this out… I had html markup in the custom field data, which affected things…
   nothing to do with the function at all.
 * But I ended up changing my function, just in case anyone builds off of it… to
   pass the correct page ID to the get_post_link() function.
 * That now looks like:
 * <p class=”postmetadata”> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit Current Project Content ↑’,”,”,**
   $page->ID**); ?></p>

 * I use Scott’s excellent get_recent_custom() function (in this plugin) to store
   labels for display outside of the page or post loop, too.
 * For example, Let’s say I have a totally custom layout using the WP logic as a
   CMS. I need some fields that are not associated with any particular post — perhaps
   to allow the client to change a color value in the css or the number of sub-pages
   to display in the parent page (with various field data, etc)… I don’t want this
   controlled by the WordPress Settings (rather not have them edit any of that, 
   frankly)… so, in my homepage, I store custom field keys and values for those 
   things.
 * Then, using c2c_get_recent_custom() [because it isn’t in the loop] I can get 
   the value of the key and store it in a variable then use the var in my php.
 * Here’s an example:
 * <?php
    $pages = get_pages(‘child_of=3&sort_column=menu_order&sort_order=ASC’);
   $count = 0; foreach($pages as $page) { $cpimage = get_post_meta($page->ID,’cpimg’,
   true); $cpitalic = get_post_meta($page->ID,’cptagline’,true); $cpbrief = get_post_meta(
   $page->ID,’cpdescription’,true); **$numpages = c2c_get_recent_custom(‘show-cps’);**
   $content = $page->post_content; if(!$content) continue; if($count >= **$numpages**)
   break; $count++; //$content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content); ?>
 * The more I use this fab plugin, the more uses I find FOR IT. So Scott, just know
   that it is the FIRST plugin I install for ANY WordPress site I build! It is my
   favorite and I cannot help but show folks on this forum how versatile it is!

 * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-add-tables-in-posts/#post-1460679)
 * Try using something like Custom Field Templates, where you can create a custom
   form for each type of data (eg.employee-pic and employee-bio or whatever) and
   then you client simply writes into those fields….
 * Then, in your page template, you can generate the html and css around calling
   the custom field data. I use coffeetocode.com’s excellent get_cutom_fields plugin
   to echo the data from the key field, wrapping the before and after html around
   it. This plugin only writes that html code IF the key and value are present… 
   though there are many functions and methods available in the plugin…. inside 
   AND outside the loop.
 * That way, the client is simply supplying the data, not formatting the markup 
   at all… a far better method, imho, than trusting someone without much skill in
   html to write it, irregardless of WHAT that html structure is.
 * You (as the template developer) could write table code around the data retrieved…
   or write a list (that’s what I would do, frankly) and float the image left of
   the text content using your preferred method of float clearing for each list 
   item’s block. This is all hidden from the editor of the content.

 * YOu don’t have to go through all those images to “find” the images associated
   with a post, though… just look in the Media Library and filter the images there
   by the “attached to” attribute.
 * Or go to the post and upload post images from there — they will appear in the“
   Gallery” for THAT post. In 2.9.2, you can edit images from there, order them,
   delete, etc.
 * I personally like the one folder (uploads) approach in that it makes writing 
   dynamic code to display an image for that post elsewhere because you KNOW the
   path to it all the way up to the actual file name, which can be stored in a variable.
 * though I wouldn’t be opposed to the ability to set an /uploads/foldername/ for
   each category or parent page… especially if that is set by using some existing
   value of the post/page that you can retrieve based on that other attribute of
   the post (eg. post_parent or the_category or whatever.)

 * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-image-paths-in-pages-to-avoid-absolute-paths/#post-1460052)
 * The bloginfo function you are using is going to parse the path anyway as an absolute
   URL… take a look at the HTML source on any WordPress page or post and you’ll 
   see every reference parsed before display.
 * If you are avoiding absolute URLs because you plan to move the site later (like
   after development) you’ll have to Find and Replace all instances of the original
   URL (eg. example.com) and replace it with the destination site’s equivalent (
   eg. myblog.com)

 * upload your swf via the plugin’s settings or the tool for it on the page where
   you want it displayed. I’m not familiar with the actual plugin, but most Media
   for pages or posts have to be UPLOADED via the Media uploader tool (in that page/
   post or perhaps in Media Library) to be visible to select via a tool or an insert.
 * HTH, but like I said, not that familiar with the specific plugin.

   in your post or page, Select it.

   1.3.7 + 1.9.8.3 + 2.9.2

 * Are these actually WordPress Pages or posts in categories?
 * If Pages, are they all using the same Page template?
 * If not the same, is the get_sidebar() function the same in all page templates(
   including the default page.php file)?
 * Are you using any conditional logic to display the sidebar.php file? as in `<?
   php if (is_page('n') {//do this} else {//do something else } ?>`
 * if yes, show me the code AND a url to the site would be good so I can sse the
   problem in action.
 * Or, hopefully, you already have this fixed!

 * It’s a wonderful plugin – I use it with just about every site I build in WordPress.
   And you can run it inside or outside of the loop, which when using wp as a cms,
   is incredibly important.
 * the c2c_get_recent_custom() function is powerful – you can use it to define any
   number of sitewide/global fields in your homepage or a separate (non-content)
   page to allow a client to be able to edit stuff found in non-page or non-post
   files (such as a sidebar or footer or other included file) as long as those fields
   use unique names.
 * It truly is my #1 most favorite plugin that makes my workflow easy. I build totally
   custom markup and just use either default WordPress logic to power the site or
   with the aid of the c2c functions, using custom fields (and my own coding) to
   create data-driven sites that keep the client away from the html and css markup.
   I’ve even used the get_recent to allow the client to edit basic colors of key
   elements in the css… via a custom field in a page named “site style” that isn’t
   shown in any menu.
