I'm using WordPress to build a simple personal website. I know (basic) HTML and CSS but no PHP, so I'm having a little trouble with a particular customization.
My theme inserts the title of the page at the top of the page. I would like to stop it from doing this on one page only (the home page).
Thanks for any help. The site is here: http://www.melvingauci.com/
Try going into your page.php template and remove <?php the_title(); ?>. Then add this:
<?php if ( ! is_front_page() ) { ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php } ?>
Note: This assumes your home page uses the page.php template. If another template is used, then the same approach will work.

I've this code in the header Homepage that find automatically the title page for homepage and the posts how title tag. But I've my personal title tag only in the home page. The source code show 2 title tag in the home.
How can I hide this code in the home?
<? php wp_head(); ? >
i think, you can use the "is_home()" and "is_frontpage()" function, depending on how your frontpage is setted up in theme (static page, blog page...), one of them or using logical and can be necessary.
with this you can do like:
<?php
if( !is_home() && !is_frontpage() ) {
wp_head();
} else {
// custom head code
}
?>
an other way is using a separate template for home/frontpage (using a frontpage.php/home.php), where you put in your code.
here the difficult for me was to learn how wordpress is using more specific templates and templateparts (like using get_header('home') to use header-home.php instead of header) and with which weight-order they are used.

is_front_page() & is_home() can't help you ?
So, i finally got my css and js scripts to load on WP
Now there is but one thing i need to get done.
i have my own theme, including header.php, footer.php, page.php
header.php and footer.php is working just fine, loading scripts and showing properly, but now i need to add all the other content.
my page.php is currently:
<?php /* Template Name: CustomPageT1 */ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I would need to somehow add html content to pages, i have about 20 ready made .php pages which needs to be transfered to WP.
Soooo how do i go about making new page (pages -> add new) and using page template while getting the html content to show up?
I've tried to just make new page and in text mode add up all the html into page, but it only shows empty page with header and footer, so the problem is most likely the page.php and i have no idea how to get it to work.
You can do look like this:
<?php /* Template Name: CustomPageT1 */ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
You are on the good way. While developing a custom theme from scratch is a great challenge it's not too hard.
I could recommend to take it easy and follow this tutorial I found really helpful some time ago, I learned a lot there:
Developing a WordPress Theme from Scratch
You must have the official source documentation always in your mind:
Theme Development
Do some reading and you will see that making themes is really fun and gratifying :)
EDIT:
I would recommend picking a good starter theme or framework and work using child themes. You have plenty of them to pick.
To get started adding a new page to your WordPress site, find the Pages menu in the WordPress Dashboard Navigation menu. Click Add new.
The WordPress page editor looks nearly identical to the post editor, except for a few different boxes located on the right side of the screen.
Add the title of the page, like About. Note: If you have pretty permalinks set up, the title of your page will also be the URL slug.
Next, add some content.
The Publish section of the page editor is exactly the same as for writing posts. When you’re ready to publish, you can either publish immediately, save this or a draft, or schedule the page to be published later.
The Page Attributes section applies a parent page and template to your new page. For the Parent section, you can arrange your pages into hierarchies. For example, you could create this new page with additional pages under it. There are no limits to how many levels you can nest pages.
Some WordPress themes have custom page templates, so the next Template section allows you to apply a template to your new page.
The Order box allows you to order your page numerically. Pages are usually ordered alphabetically, but you can choose your own order by entering a number in this field.
Preview the page one last time, then click Publish. You’ve added a new page to your WordPress site.
This is how your
your index.php should look like :
<?php
get_header();?>
<div class="YourContainer">
<div class="Whatever">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="ContentSectionDiv">
<?php the_content();?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer();?>
you can make also a custom loop
<?php
$arg = array("post_type" => "services",
"posts_per_page" => 9,
"order_by" => "date",
"order" => "ASC",
);
$services = new WP_Query($arg);
if ($services->have_posts()):;
while ($services->have_posts()):$services->the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
endif;
?>
I m building a word press site with a unique theme that i created, now i got like 10 classes of different styles for the static pages in my site.
The question is, when i want to display the content of the page, with all the forms images and text, how should i do that? With the text editor where the user usually insert his content for the posts in regular wp website? Or should i insert the content images and forms hard coded in the php custom page template of those static pages?
In the text editor if i insert some html in edit as html it's becoming a mess it doesn't seems right to create sections and div where the user regularly just put his raw content, and anyway adding more content to a static page in the future will require my intervention to wrap it with css sections and div's definitions and classes...
By the other hand to write raw data with images and forms in the php custom page template doesn't seems to me the right choice... Is it normal to do so for static pages?
Thanks everyone!
Wordpress static pages, by default contains text and images that you can put into it using the Wordpress text editor. This content is known as "The Content" in WP context.
If you want to put into your static page some elements that cannot be setted by the text editor (like your own forms, per example) you'll need to create your own page template with hard-coded elements.
Example:
<?php /* Template Name: My custom page template */ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="article">
<div class="date"></div>
<!-- Your own custom content here -->
</div>
<div class="clear">
<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?><div id="comments"><?php comments_template('', true); ?> </div>
</div><?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I normally will put those styles into styles.css of your theme. Even if it's images that will be standard images for the theme or shortcodes available to the user you want it to load from within the styles.css page. You don't want to do anything static like that with WordPress. Updates can mess it up as well as having issues with inline css messing up your SEO for the site.
If the user needs to do something in the editor to have an image show or something like that you can do it as a shortcode. That's normally going to be your best approach. Have you used shortcodes and loaded the images that before?
I'm currently doing some refactoring on an existing wordpress website that uses 9 page templates and I have the following problem:
All these pages have the same code written to display the header, the sidebar etc.
I wonder if it's possible for me to have a "parent" page that would be in charge of displaying those recurring template parts?
The reason I can't manage to do it is that only the page template file is called and no parent file.
That's what I would like to achieve:
<?php
// page-master.php
get_header();
get_sidebar();
get_page_content(); // includes the actual page template.
get_footer();
?>
I hope you understand what I'm looking for :)
Thanks in advance!
Create template your-name.php
Put that code
<?php
/*
Template Name: Your Name
/*
get_header();
get_sidebar();
get_template_part(template-hepler/your-name-content.php); // includes the actual page template.
get_footer();
?>
Create your-name-content.php in template-helper folder
And write there your page content
Assing that template to nessasary pages
I'm not a PHP developer and I don't understand the language at all. However, I'm asked to modify a PHP page. It's a WordPress blog. It has a block of code:
<div>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'pre-footer-1' ); ?>
</div>
When I load the page, I can see a sidebar added to a footer. I don't want the sidebar. I just want the information comes out fro the index 'pre-footer-1'. How should I modify the code to make it work? I tried:
<div>
<?php echo( 'pre-footer-1' ); ?>
</div>
Sorry, I just don't know how to simply show the content without the dynamic sidebar.
EDITED:
It's a Wordpress theme. The theme has a pre-footer that I can modify in the theme setting. The theme always show a sidebar on a pre-footer. It's not a bug, it's the way how the theme is designed. However, I don't like it and would like to get rid of the sidebar. I still want to show the footer just not the sidebar. I don't know php and would like a simple solution to modify the PHP code such that the sidebar is gone.
Did you try output buffering? Something like:
<?php
ob_start();
dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-id');
$sidebar = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
?>
This should get you the contents of the sidebar. Just echo the $sidebar where you need it.
