Need Help Installing WP Article Directory Plugin

Hi all

I am trying to install an article directory plugin from this site Article Directory WordPress Plugin Article Directory in my website | mylink2.com but I don't know where exactly, I am meant to place the codes they tell you to place in the style sheet and the index.php.

These are the codes:
index.php
<?php if(function_exists('article_directory'))article_di rectory(); ?>

style.css
@import 'categories.css';

I have tried putting these codes into these files but with no luck. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the theme I am using or whether I am not placing the pieces of code in the correct places.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Viv

    A couple of questions:

    1 - Did you copy the "categories.css" style sheet to your themes folder?

    2 - The "@import 'categories.css" statement (which merges stylesheets) must be the very first statement in your style.css file.

    3 - The code for the index.php file could be placed anywhere between the get_header() and get_footer() function calls.

    Also, make sure you are modifying index.php file in your active theme, not the file in the root of your web site.

    Hope this helps, good luck.

    • Hi Bill

      Nice to see you again

      I have been doing a bit of thinking :confused: and playing around and what I realised was that I had the 'odlinks' directory as my static home page and then I also started to think about the theme. So I have just installed the theme that they made to go with the plugin and I have taken the static page, off and so now I have the directory theme but it isn't showing any pages!

      I thought that if I used their theme that it would still show the pages and people could still submit to the website directory as well, but as I said, there aren't any pages showing, so I am still stuck

      I don't know if you can help me with this scenario or not?

      Cheers

  • I am having a problem too, I installed the WP article directory theme and the plugin, I followed the above listed steps and I can't get the categories to show up. I can manually create categories, but that would take a long time. I have deleted it all and retried it and still I can't get the categories to show up, is there anything else I may be missing?
  • Sorry, I dont know much about that specific theme, but I know a bunch about wordpress. If you are looking for pages at the top where you normally find pages, that code to display the pages must be in the header file. I will give you a sample.
  • <div id="page">


    <div id="header" role="banner">
    <div id="headerimg">
    <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
    <div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
    </div>
    </div>

  • Hmmm. I installed that theme a while ago and it worked right out of the box. I deleted it, however, because the promise was bigger than the delivery. So basically, it sucked at what it claimed it was good for.
