Wordpress Feature Content Question

by Melodican

Hey Warriors

I have a really quick question regarding "Feature Content Gallery" Plugin in Wordpress. I'm using a pretty standard theme and want to put the FCG under my nav bar (which is under my header) i.e. at the top of my main body, which at the moment is displaying blog post updates.

Where do I put the code '<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>' which displays the FCG. Do I need to alter the css files (if so, which ones) on the my server or can I do it through the Wordpress admin dashboard ?

Many thanks, and apologies for such a newb Q

    I'm not a fan of the Featured Content Gallery. But if you want tips on how to make it work go take a look at Brian Gardner's Themes at studiopress.

    The click on the source code of one of his demos to see how they set it up.

      Melodican,

      If your theme doesn't give you a widget area for that section, you'll probably want to take a look at the header.php file in your theme folder.

      Just make sure you make a backup copy before you change anything so you can quickly restore it if something gets messed up.

      If you update your theme, it will write over that change and you'll have to make it again.

      Roy

        That would give you the Featured Content Gallery on every page, which would be a bit extreme.

          True, Diana. It's not something I would want, but to each his own.

          If you only want it to appear on the home page, you can wrap it in an "if" statement using the Wordpress function "is_home".

          Code:
          <?php
if ( is_home() ) {
    // This is a homepage
} else {
    // This is not a homepage
}
?>
          And here's the "is_home" function reference in the Wordpress Codex.

    I'm not a great fan of the Featured Content Gallery either, but I've had enough clients who are set on it to have become familiar with it. You need to put it in your front page php file (probably called index.php but sometimes called home.php too). Edit using Notepad and then upload via FTP using FileZilla or something similar. Don't use the file editor in the WordPress dashboard as thee results can sometimes be screwy.
