I'd like to get rid of the sidebar and have all the options that are normally shown there to be at top... is this possible...?

Right now, here's my site:

http://www.cornerstonecreativestudios.com/portfolio/

I'd like to make it so that the options are at top as pulldown menus, and then making the whole page one column, so that I can then implement that into a master website which will most likely be a wordpress site now...

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Jesse

make sure the plugin directory name is lowercase eg.
public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpg2
not
public_html/wp-content/plugins/WPG2

version control keeps naming it uppercase, I've got to figure out how to stop it.

ok... did that... shows on the plug in list as wpg2 in lower case... however, still get the message after activating it...

This is at top while in Site Admin Plugins page:

Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'wpg2_sidebar_widgets_init' not found or invalid function name in /home/cornerstonecreativestudios/cornerstonecreativestudios.com/QuickIndex/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 406

and on home page when viewing site:

I had manually changed the name on the server file and then also using the editor, changed the name there... which DID correct the name on the plugin list at least... so now not sure what to do...

Thanks in advance.

Alrighty then... first of all sir... I thank you for all of your input... looking around the forums... YOU are a big help to a lot of people and should be commended for your time and efforts.

That being said, I'm hoping you can continue to help this sad soul out some more... ;)

I got that to work (sort of)... it now reads the gallery on the WPG link in ,my options... however,it's all broken up and such... please take a look and see if you can think of what I can do to help this situation... any input is better than no input.

I still want to get rid of the side bar and have all options at top of page and I'll be making the overall page thinner and not so spread out, plus will have a textured background which will help tie it all in together... that's the plan anyway...

ok... site is: http://www.cornerstonecreativestudios.com/QuickIndex/?page_id=77
gallery is: http://www.cornerstonecreativestudios.com/portfolio/

For that matter, I'm also trying to get rid of the side bar on my gallery as well...

Let 'er rip sir.

Thanks in advance for anything and everything.

1st: in WPG2 Admin choose Should Gallery2 Page(s) look like a Wordpress Page? Yes

Then in Gallery's site admin -> theme -> matrix
set the number of columns and rows you want. along with any other options you want.

okie dokie... all is going well, yay...

I need the sidebar preview images to be centered and if I can accomplish that, then I'm hoping that the wpg feature which enables the previews to show up in my wordpress page, will be centered there.

anything for that?

I've played around with this and that... got the images to show up decent enough on the wordpress site... now my question is a matrix question again... how can I get the "edit albums" option at the top of my page... I've taken everything off of the sidebar... I only want certain menus at the top, I have some (which I don't even know how I got there to be honest... lol)... but Edit Albums is one... I also want to make the front page strictly albums and get rid of the Mission Statement I have there now since it's on the main site and may seem to be overkill.

Any help is great help... thanks.
