Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Blog-in-Blog

You need to use the template features of blog-in-blog to get your posts to show using the same HTML and CSS structure that your theme uses. You will need to learn some CSS and HTML then update the template. I cannot do this for you.

Yes, but only if you have already done the following and sent me the answers. Send me a link to your site where i can see the problem live. Switch to the default wordpress theme

If not, switch back to your theme.

Add other plugins back one by one. After each test to see if the problem is still there.

Yes, and I will even try to answer your question! If you are atempting to contact me with Skype Chat, I only accept contact resquests if it is obvious you are asking about this plugin (try not to look too much like spam!), so don't be offended if it seems I ignore you. Try an email instead :) . And I do have a day job too... Tim Hodson
