Here is the code;

We use wp_list_categories(); function when we calling our categories. But if we change this function we can change our category listing. Just copy and paste this function in your sidebar.php file and show your categories in two columns.

<?php
$cats = explode("<br />",wp_list_categories('title_li=&echo=0&depth=1&style=none'));
$cat_n = count($cats) - 1;
for ($i=0;$i<$cat_n;$i++):
if ($i<$cat_n/2):
$cat_left = $cat_left.'<li>'.$cats[$i].'</li>';
elseif ($i>=$cat_n/2):
$cat_right = $cat_right.'<li>'.$cats[$i].'</li>';
endif;
endfor;
?>
<ul class="left">
<?php echo $cat_left;?>
</ul>
<ul class="right">
<?php echo $cat_right;?>
</ul>

After that we have to change our style.css for left and right terms. her is the code;

.right {float:left; width:140px;}
.left {float:left; width:140px;}

That’s All. Have a nice day!

First, open your archive.php from your theme folder. This is a sample code, it can be different in your theme.

Find

< ?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
<h2>Author Archive for</h2>

And replace with;

< ?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
< ?php $author = get_userdata( get_query_var('author') );?>
<h2>Author Archive for < ?php echo $author->display_name;?></h2>

After you apply this code the author archive page title will change like “Archive for (author name)“.

That code different in my theme. If you click my avatar in the bottom of this post, you call my author archive page and again you can see author name in the bottom of  page.

That’s All! Have a nice day!

Yep, lets start!

We cnahge our core single.php also you have to make a back-up this file. And you have to make 2 copy of this core file, and single-blog.phpsingle-default.php (single-default is a copy of our core file). And upload these 2 files to your host (in template folder). After that, open your single.php on your server (with a ftp program ex: CuteFtp) and clean all code in this file and add this codes to single.php ;

<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category('3') ) {
 include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-blog.php'); }
 else { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-default.php');
}
?>

We make a duplicate with this code. But we give a special command to this code. With If, we said to code “if we click a post in category 3 you have to call single-blog.php to us“. If we get a normal category post, our core single.php call single-default.php to us. After this code our core single.php will be a tunnel page for us.

And if you wanna make more single pages for your different categories you can duplicate this code.

Here is the second code:

<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category('3') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-blog.php'); }
elseif ( in_category('15') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-foto.php'); }
elseif ( in_category('18') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-video.php'); }
else { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-default.php');
}
?>

Have a nice day!
