So the header background is now red on the home page and it should be the default black. How can I make it black on the homepage? The bg.png file hasn't been changed and as far as I know I haven't changed any of the CSS that effects the header background on the homepage. </p> <p><a href="http://www.nicolamorgan.com/author/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nicolamorgan.com/author/</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-26982 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:35:00 +0000 cheekykev 26982@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks, but if I do that then I lose all the work Dude and I did previously to make the headers change depending upon category. I found another solution so no need for help now. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-26905 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 01:04:36 +0000 Chris Beard 26905@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I don't see how your body ended up getting a class like .category-6, if you remove this your problem is solved - the class doesn't need to be on the body at all. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-26856 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:57:03 +0000 cheekykev 26856@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>This was working perfect but something must have changed. The Homepage banner color was black which is how i'd like it but now it uses the navy blue banner (bgMediaRoom.png) which is for a specific category? I haven't changed the CSS. I notice that when i comment out this line the Homapage banner becomes the correct black color again: </p> <p>body.category-26{<br /> background: url("../images/skin1/bgMediaRoom.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;<br /> }</p> <p>I can't leave this line commented out as I need it to make this category navy blue. Any ideas?</p> <p>K </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-25539 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:35:14 +0000 Dude 25539@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad that it works now :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-25537 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:32:59 +0000 cheekykev 25537@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>That was the cause - working fine now.

Use the standard archive.php to remove the slider... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-25525 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:41:11 +0000 cheekykev 25525@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>That worked great! Now I am able to style my categories, posts and pages differently ;o). Thanks for all your help! Just one thing though, now when I click on a menu item that should display only posts from one category it shows all posts from every category and also displays the home page slider. It's doing this with all menu items that are categories. I've tried recreating the menu but it still shows every post for one category in the menu.</p> <p>For example if you look at: <a href="http://www.nicolamorgan.com/author/clips/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nicolamorgan.com/author/clips/</a><br /> and click the menu item labeled 'Clips &amp; Cuttings' this used to show only one post in the category but now it shows every post along with the home page slider :o( What can I do to fix this? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-25514 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 06:51:10 +0000 Dude 25514@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Ok - use:<br /> <pre><code>body.page-template-template-young-php{ background: url(&quot;../images/skin1/bgyoungstyle.png&quot;) repeat-x scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF; }</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-25513 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 06:42:07 +0000 cheekykev 25513@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Forgot I had the site locked while it's still being built.

Open up functions.php and add following code at the very bottom:</p> <pre><code>function category_id_class($classes) { global $post; foreach((get_the_category($post-&gt;ID)) as $category) $classes[] = &#39;category-&#39;.$category-&gt;cat_ID; return $classes; } add_filter(&#39;post_class&#39;, &#39;category_id_class&#39;); add_filter(&#39;body_class&#39;, &#39;category_id_class&#39;);</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24975 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 07:37:38 +0000 cheekykev 24975@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p><a href="http://www.nicolamorgan.com/author/books/know-your-brain/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nicolamorgan.com/author/books/know-your-brain/</a></p> <p>This is link to the custom post in use (single2.php) - does that help? All I need to be able to do to is use my new header (bgyoungstyle.png) in single2.php</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Kev </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24961 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 06:33:19 +0000 Dude 24961@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Instead of single2 fill in your post id or the template class (all classes are applied to the body tag). I can't give you custom css code because I need a link to your (custom) single page first. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24942 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:34:17 +0000 cheekykev 24942@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>One more quick thing. I also want to style the individual posts of the category so I made two copies single.php - single1.php and single2.php. I then deleted all the code from single.php and added: </p> <p>&lt;?php<br /> $post = $wp_query-&gt;post;<br /> if ( in_category('6') ) {<br /> include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single2.php');<br /> } else {<br /> include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single1.php');<br /> }<br /> ?&gt;</p> <p>Then I used the code you gave me to try and change the style of single2.php so I added the code below to style1.css:</p> <p>body.single2{<br /> background: url("../images/skin1/bgyoungstyle.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;<br /> }</p> <p>But this doesn't change the header in the posts? Any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24849 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 17:12:17 +0000 Dude 24849@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad that I could help you :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24843 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 15:23:56 +0000 cheekykev 24843@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Just used your code and it works!

You can change the background value (image path, color,etc.) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24839 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 13:50:51 +0000 cheekykev 24839@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>OK - i'm in my new headeryoungstyle.php and have included my new background in the following code: <img src="/author/wp-content/themes/newscast/images/skin1/bgyoungstyle.png" alt="" /></p> <p>where in the header file should i place it?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24837 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 13:43:29 +0000 cheekykev 24837@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Cool - got me category file calling my new header now. </p> <p>Just need to include my new bgyoungstyle.png file now - i'll have a try!</p> <p>K </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24836 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 13:38:57 +0000 Dude 24836@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> 1) you can change the get_header() function in category-6.php so that it calls a specific header template. This codex page: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header</a> tells you how to use the template name parameter.</p> <p>2) You can modify "header-{name}.php" and include/harcode the image or you can use a specific css class to call a different background image :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-style-for-one-category#post-24835 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 13:25:48 +0000 cheekykev 24835@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I want to create a custom look for one of my categories that is different to other categories.</p> <p>I’ve copied the index.php file and called it category-6.php where 6 is the ID of the category I want to style differently.<br /> I’ve then copied the header.php and called it headeryoungstyle.php<br /> I’ve copied the bg.png file and changed the colors to my preferences and called it bgyoungstyle.png</p> <p>Now i’m a little lost. I want my new category-6.php to call my new headeryoungstyle.php and I want headeryoungstyle.php to use my new bgyoungstyle.png – how should I complete these steps?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Kevin </p>
