Index page duplication

hardy9298 · #1 May 9, 2011, 09:25 AM

Hi, I am currently in the process of designing a website and was wondering if it was possible to duplicate the index page so that the layout will be the same for the rest of the pages. For example, the 'artists' page will have the same layout as the home page though it will contain different content. The most important thing to note is that I am able to maintain my custom navigation on the left hand side on all the other pages.

Here is the site in development. If anyone could have a look and possibly help me out I will be very grateful.

Thanks

Still no success in opening in any browser.

Nothing at all? It should be working. It works here and I have just asked a friend to test it and it seemed to be working fine too.

At times I get a warning that it is a potentially malicious site. If you are on shared hosting there may be some questionable sites on the same server.

I am not on shared hosting so not really to clear as to why this is happening. Thanks for informing me

There is no 'index' page, all the 'pages' are built dynamically. It is possible to have one page styled different by using CSS Inserts and a CSS Selector like 'body.page-id-nn' (where nn = the actual page id)

when you setup a layout, the general settings will be the same for all pages unless you override them.

Ok, I understand. Thanks

Sorry, I am not sure I fully understood earlier. Would it be possible to maintain the same layout throughout, (including the navigation) the rest of my site. If so, could you please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

When you use the theme to style, you are styling the site - all the pages, unless you code some overrides. So the blog page looks the same at a 'page' page - in your case the 'artists' page.

The reason you don't see the images is because in yout <img...> you have

HTML Code:

<img src="wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BRIEFHEADERRIGHT1.png" width="123" height="51" class="briefbox" />

but you are missing the leading '/' so it should be fully qualified or

HTML Code:

<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BRIEFHEADERRIGHT1.png" width="123" height="51" class="briefbox" />
