What widgets do you see the problem happening with?</p> <p>Basically what you are seeing is how all widgets used to work, but in WordPress 2.8 (I think) new functionality was added that allowed widgets to be duplicated as much as you like and that's what most widgets now use. </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/widgets-on-home-page-and-single-posts#post-5529 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 17:07:10 +0000 berkshirereview 5529@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Some widgets, when dragged into MP Sidebar Left, remain in the central column and are available to be dragged into MP Sidebar Single Post Left. Others disappear and can't be installed in both places. How do I fix this, so that I can have these widgets in both places? </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/customisation-of-mimbo-pro#post-5294 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 23:01:01 +0000 bcbg12 5294@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Hi</p> <p>Mimpo pro is the best wordpress magazine I know...

If anyone can answer this I would be grateful. I'm hoping this is the last hurdle - if anyone else can advise you will get a gold medal -(will a chocolate gold coin do :]).</p> <p>Any help much appreciated.</p> <p>Suki (currently with sore ribs from coughing) </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/latest-blog-posts-automated-on-home-page#post-2550 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 15:23:43 +0000 darren 2550@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>If you open index.php, go to &lt;div ="content"&gt; and remove everything within that div, you should be able to add the code from the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop">WordPress loop</a>, something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;post&quot;&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;small&gt;&lt;?php the_time(&#39;F jS, Y&#39;); ?&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;entry&quot;&gt; &lt;?php the_content(); ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;postmetadata&quot;&gt;Posted in &lt;?php the_category(&#39;, &#39;); ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php endwhile; ?&gt; Sorry, no posts matched your criteria. &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>It's a little tricky to know it's all going to work.

A) I don't want my front page to be a just 'a blog' but just the middle column where you can currently select posts. Nathans options were not workable with this theme and I followed option 2. I really want to retain Mimbo's front page but just with the middle column to have the 'recent stories' posts with more than just links! Please if any one can give me the code on what to amend in the index.php you will save me a heck of a lot of time...and I would be grateful - honest!!!!</p> <p>Suki </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/latest-blog-posts-automated-on-home-page#post-2526 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 21:05:48 +0000 darren 2526@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>You could add in...</p> <p><code>&lt;?php the_content(); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>...in addition to just the headlines. Is that what you mean? </p> <p>Or, you could create a separate interior page called "Blog", set up a custom template and call it like this -</p> <p><a href="http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/creating-a-blog-page-with-paging/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/creating-a-blog-page-with-paging/</a> </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/latest-blog-posts-automated-on-home-page#post-2503 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:19:12 +0000 ruggy 2503@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>But Darren the Recent Posts area only show the link to the original post.

So guys also please send me my login details for the google groups which I'm still awaiting a reply for!</p> <p>Anyway back to my help request. Is it possible to have on the home page to have displayed the latest five blogs (as a blog normally functions) as the main five posts automnatically rather than selecting some posts? Its just that I need the home page to be dynamic and the main centre to function as a blog. I would then use the carousel to highlight selective posts. Also what is the best way round to having posts displayed in the carousel without actually having a post displayed in the archives? Creating pages could that work around this? Is that possible to have pages thumbnailed in the carousel? </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/modifying-home-page#post-2351 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 23:20:20 +0000 darren 2351@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>If I'm hearing you right, you basically want a new post query, which is pretty straight-forward -</p> <p><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts</a></p> <p>There are parameters that let you specify a category, number of headlines, etc. </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/modifying-home-page#post-2336 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 21:02:57 +0000 brix11 2336@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>What would the code look like for displaying the latest post and excerpt from a single category?</p> <p>This would show up in a different spot that the code for the built-in category summaries.

I was contacted by someone experiencing the same problem with Platinum SEO Pack for WordPress.</p> <p>His solution to this is as follows:</p> <blockquote><p>I found the solution for the Platinum SEO bug. It's really in WordPress (long irrelvant explaination follows). If the theme you use uses query_posts instead of WP_Query to handle the custom loops then WordPress gets confused and loses track of the fact that it's on the Home page. As a result when Platinum SEO asks what page you are rendering WordPress tells it the category name of the last post you queried from your blog instead of "Home", so the wrong title gets sent to the browser.</p></blockquote> <p>I'm not 100% sure how to fix this in WordPress exactly (maybe Darren can provide steps) but this will fix the problem you might have with your last category title in Mimbo Pro appearing as your homepage title. </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/functionsphp-error-on-line-727-homepage-category-titles#post-1791 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:45:24 +0000 darren 1791@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Hmmm, I have not heard of this happening anywhere else. Has index.php been modified at all? Can you confirm your host has a recent php module installed on your server? Also are you using the latest upgraded Mimbo? </p> http://forum.prothemedesign.com/topic/functionsphp-error-on-line-727-homepage-category-titles#post-1785 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 04:45:33 +0000 DeuxEx3 1785@http://forum.prothemedesign.com/ <p>Anyone? </p>
