Great work with this theme. Just installed it and would be working on it to customize it further.

Really liked the look of this theme. Had most items working (categories, posts, media) but ended up wasting hours trying to get pages to work. switched themes and everything was working. Nightmare.

Images – Text Wrap – NOT working in Neoclassical

I decided I wanted to learn how to insert images and have the “text wrap” around them either images to the left, or image to the right of the block of text.

I did everything and still could not get the text to wrap. Finally I decided to switch themes to see what happened and lo and behold the “text DID wrap!” So it seems to be a “theme specific” issue.

Can anyone tell me how to get the text to wrap around images automatically in Neoclassical? I know it can be done with HTML coding, but that seems to be really very tedious. It seems that something is missing from the script and/or css. I’m not a script person, so am not sure which part is not working as desired or how to fix it.

Thanks in advance. I would be so very grateful to get this resolved. I am sure others must have had this issue. I AM using the latest version of WordPress as of 3/14/2010.

why is the priority set to ‘99′ with the rotating images hook on Neoclassical?
this may be out of bounds here, but I am just trying to understand why that is…
thank you for your time and feedback…

Heh, cool, that is the way to go I think. I didn’t want to get too complicated with it on my first reply, but you could potentially write a script that checks whether there is an image with the page name and then if not uses a random image.

Say, you have images header1.jpg, header2.jpg etc for the random ones and header-page-name.jpg for a particular page and header-category.jpg for a particular category. You could use $title = urlencode(get_the_title()); and then when calling the image use “header-$title.jpg” for the image name.
That’s just a general idea though, there’s more to it (like opening the folder with PHP and checking if the image of that name exists). But I can’t say any more off the top of my head without testing the code. Might be good to open a forum thread if you want to attempt that.

kristarella that will probably work fine. I'm actually using These and not Neoclassical so I was thinking of making custom code for the rotator in a hook with Conditional Tags.

Jason --- There isn't a way to do it without changing the script a bit, but if you wanted to edit the script you could use Conditional Tags to say if is_page() { use page image } else { use regular rotator code }.

Tony Ford same here. I want to be able to assign a specific image to a specific page (or category or tag if I'm getting all wish list) and I haven't figured out the best way yet. Suggestions anyone?
