Use home.php, that’s the template for the list of newest blog posts. It will not affect the URL. If you go to wp-admin/options-reading.php and choose a page for Posts page – this page will use home.php. So create a static page, assign the URL /blog/ and select it in the settings. WordPress will take care … Read more
Something like this should work: if( is_page() ) : $this_page = get_queried_object(); if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( $this_page->post_title ) ) : echo ‘No sidebar defined for this page title’; endif; endif;
Renaming the file header-bog.php and using <?php get_header( ‘blog’);?> works perfectly.
We were able to get custom category and tag base names using: get_option(‘category_base’, ‘Categories’) get_option(‘tag_base’, ‘Tags’) We wrapped these functions in ucwords() in order to capitalize the base name and replaced “_” with “”: ucwords(str_replace(‘_’,’ ‘,get_option(‘category_base’, ‘Categories’)) ucwords(str_replace(‘_’,’ ‘,get_option(‘tag_base’, ‘Tags’)) Finally we wrapped all this with the code for localization and added the single cat/tag … Read more

Something like: .commentlist li.byuser { background:#FF0000; } That would make the background of users’ comments red (insert a more appropriate color). If you are not using a … Read more
Pagination does not affect the template usually, paged.php is the exception but not of interest for your question. To style the first page differently than later pages check for if ( is_front_page() and 1 < get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ) { // code for later pages }
