Presently, the category list in my left sidecolumn is sorting alphabetically by all the category names rather than by the nested parent-child hierarchy I had set up using the Dashboard>Manage>Categories editor. After activating the Cutline theme on a fresh WP install, I entered some sample categories and set up some categories as children of a parent category. At first, the nested parent-child category hierarchy displayed just fine in the right sidecolumn where the theme displays the category list "out of the box". Then I used the Widget editor to move the CATEGORIES 1 widget from the right sidecolumn to the left sidecolumn. After I did that, WP/Cutline started ignoring the nested parent-child hierarchy for categories. I've tried moving the CATEGORIES 1 widget back to the right sidecolumn, but WP/Cutline continues to ignore the nested parent-child hierarchy for categories. The nested parent-child hierarchy for my PAGES widget works just fine in both left and right sidecolumns. What gives? Any fixes? Thanks in advance for any help here.

Can the post categories listing be sorted in anther manner other than alphabetically by the category names? Can I set a custom sort order? I can do so in an "ugly" way by simply using numbers in the category names... 01 Pears 01.1 Apples 01.2 Oranges 02 Apricots ... but is there a prettier, invisible way of setting the list order?

I've got a quick question for you. As I tediously work on my custom header I have a few issues to work out first. I don't quite understand your method in making the categories link to navigation links. It's brilliant, but I need a little guidance. I have set 5 separate pages,Home, Sports, Technology, and Politics. My issue is this, I want my posts categorized Sports to post on my Home page as a recent post, but also on my Sports page. Example, if I make a new post titled "Apple's new idouche," I want it to appear on my Home page and get filed over on the Tech page. I want my readers to be able to read posts from whatever category they are interested in, not have to flip through my entire site in order to find and pick out the tech posts. As of now, my posts only go to my home page, default, boring horseshit. I think you have the fix above, but I'm not quite nailing it down yet. Maybe I can get a detailed spoon-feeding? I'm kinda new to code, php and basic HTML. So, give me a break if I sound repetitive. Thanks in advance, thirdeye. Great site, keep it up!

Then you can have static content followed by any posts tagged with that category. Wordpress doesn't look to kindly upon confusing the functions of categories and pages, so it is not very flexible in that sense. (As I learned the hard way.) You also should look at your random header images. Something goofy is going on, and you've got a smaller image overlaid over a larger image. Those images need to be optimized in some sort of software like fireworks, because they take way too long to load. Besides that, they are only 770px wide, and should be 970px wide to cover the entire top (unless that's not what you want) But either way they are being overlaid over another image you set as being the container div's background image in your style sheet so it kind of looks funky. If you still want that background image to be there but centered like the images being thrown on top of it sot it doesn't show when they are there, you could do this on your style sheet: background-position: center top; junedodge on "categories for pages" http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/categories-for-pages#post-656 Wed, 14 Nov 2007 02:51:56 +0000 junedodge 656@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ I looked at your site, seems you are using this as a content management system - like I am. The category function seems to be built into posts by WordPress - it just doesn't seem to be an option with pages. I got around this by making my posts look like pages - I did this by commenting out all links to navigation - this gets rid of the Next and Previous links on single page views of posts - on sitemap - on archives In files: Single, Main index, search  Hope this helps. BTW Your In This Section set up is very cool!

I hate widgets and don't use them, but if all else fails you can reinstall cutline. Closely examine your static page and make sure it has code calling the proper sidebar.php file. Then examine that file and make sure that the code in it looks fine. You could also just try overwriting your sidebar files with the originals you downloaded if you don't want to reinstall the whole theme. junedodge on "Categroies Not Visible" http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/categroies-not-visible#post-537 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 04:25:17 +0000 junedodge 537@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ I couldn't get your Buying One site to come up, so I couldn't check your sitemap and see what entries you have posted..

Formatting doesn't work in the excerpt that is displayed when you use the "more" feature. Links, line breaks, none of it will work. However, if you change "the content" to "the excerpt (see wordpress codex for more on this) then you can have your pages display whatever you type in the "optional excerpt" section of your post. In there, not sure about links, but other html formatting works so I assume links would as well.
