Let me just add that bringing a client to anhosting.com returns $85 to you if you are an affiliate. At $6.95 USD per month (paying a year up front), it can’t be beat given huge bandwidth, disk space and features, as well as an easy to use cpanel.

Why are you using the single quote? Try using a character entity for it if all you want is ‘something like this’

the character entity to use is ’ for an apostrophe. If you want matching opening and closing ones, the left side one is ‘

otherwise, put the \ in before the single quotes you use yourself and see what happens.

Um, did you try clicking the Publish button? Until you publish, everything is a draft.

Read up on the use of custom fields. If each post is a new project under the category “Recent Projects” then you can set up a custom field of 1-x number of images (linked or not) and then customize your category_x.php template (where x is the id for that category) to conditionally look for custom fields and display their content.

There have been plugins to make this easy (c2c_custom) in the past versions but I haven’t tested to see if those work in 2.5x versions.

This is probably a CSS adjustment of the top or bottom margin of the class .post

If you post your site URL, someone can help.

Hi, Monika
Can your approach be used in the home.php file to show posts from just one category?

I just upgraded a site from 2.1.2 to 2.3.3 and boy, is my homepage broken! first off, is_home() no longer works and oddly, the page wants to show ALL the posts from ALL categories.

And, the Reading Options in my admin doesn’t list ALL my category templates, so I cannot make one for that category and set my home page to it.

too weird. Any help appreciated…

I just decided to skip the whole plugin thing and use my own code for showing two different sets of content on the same page, limiting the number of posts for the second and displaying in a preferred order…

the first loop:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if ( in_category('4') && is_home() ) continue; ?>

<!–tags and arguments for how to format the content here for the homepage Page post–>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php
//now query to get recent posts from a category (news)

query_posts(‘cat=94’);
$posts = get_posts(‘category=94&numberposts=8&offset=0&order=DESC’);

foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>

<!–tags and arguments for displaying these links to posts–>

<?php endforeach; ?>

Actually, it's a tiny bit more than that, but I left out the html for each type of content... that is it, though...

you can run the loop several times using this method, just include another line with the appropriate category number for each coming after the first loop, and use the second method block of code to query, start, & end the loop

<?php if ( in_category('x') && is_home() ) continue; ?>

I love plugins… it’s definitely one of the coolest features in WordPress. But it is infinitely annoying to become dependent on a particular plugin that becomes obsolete when the author doesn’t maintain it through WordPress evolutions. (not whining, though 😉

I am happy to hear that this plugin might get some attention… it’s a good one.

sigh… yeah, I saw that the forums were gone and emailed Marcus… I finally got an email back saying I should send ONE email with a list of stuff (I’ve found a few bugs) which I did, but have not heard back as of yet… (2-3 days)

While I am figuring it out on my own, I may, if I don’t hear from him, get my bank to reverse the charges for purchase, since there’s no support as claimed.

I hope he’s just busy improving the plugin and will respond soon.
