Article Directory WordPress Theme
Represent your attention special Article Directory theme for using with my Article Directory plugin.
Worth noting that the ideological inspirer for realization article directory on WordPress engine is the ArticleDashBoard.com. Therefore, while creating Article Directory theme I was orientated to this directory.
Features
- Statistics on the total number of published articles and the number of registered authors.
- Each author has a page with his profile and list of his articles.
- The home page displays a list of the most recent articles. By default, 30 titles. The numbers can be changed in the template file index.php.
- Lists of “pages” are available at two locations in header of page. To mutual exclusion repeated pages you must find in two places of the header.php file the code like this:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=2,3'); ?>and specify in the include option comma-separated list identifiers pages you wish to include into the list.
- On the categories pages displayed so-called “bread crumbs.”
- The category page displays a list of subcategories and list of this category articles. That pages don’t contain articles from subcategories. Such articles are displayed on the subcategories pages.
- The possibility of sorting a list of articles on the current category (title, newest, oldest). A similar possibility exists on the author page.
- A page of a particular article contains a list of other articles from the same category.
- The Article Directory theme is intended to work with WordPress version 2.3+. Working with earlier versions is not assured.
Supplement
For working the article directory at full capacity the following plugins are obligatory:
- Article Directory - plugin, that displays the structured list of categories.
- Role Manager - allows you to define and manage multiple subscriber profiles - called Roles and their Capabilities.
Following plugins are not obligatory but recommended:
- Fancy Excerpt - replaces the default automatic excerpt generator with a sentence aware excerpt generator.
- WP-PageNavi - adds a more advanced paging navigation.

@Chris - you need to create these pages and then configure theme (read about this in article above).
Ha, I got that prior response, but it was a different Chris. Anyways, I have a general question. What php page is the Home link on that shows up on the main page with all the categories. Maybe I am an idiot but I cannot find it. I would like to add more menu links to other static pages.
In addition, perhaps you can look at the distribution of articles by parent category on my site (listed in website section). It tries to sort them into 3 columns but one of them extends super far down because the sub categories within one parent are unusually large. Is there a way to get it to balance out the distribution of parent categories so it looks more balanced? I know there are options to do this, but my fiddling with it has not produced anything worthwhile.
Thanks for any input
Chris
Is there a function to import an article (category) database?
This menu is in
header.php, secondwp_list_pages().If no one of sorting option does not provide the necessary balancing of categories list, unfortunately I can’t do anything.
Not fully understand your question. WordPress have an import function in admin area. May be this is what you want.

Hi there .. I have just downloaded your theme but I don’t see the “Register” Option for users anywhere. Can you please say me how do i go about it.
Hi again. Is there anyway we can add TDO Mini forms to your theme as I would want to collect the data using the form which would automatically be converted into post rather than sending the users to the admin panel.
You need to activate corresponding option in admin panel.
May be, but I have not tried this.
