Hi Rod, sorry for any confusion but Carrington theme does support pages. It’s WordPress that doesn’t support pages in sub-directories. Hopefully the README’s explain this clearly.

I depends on what you want to do, but the type-*.php templates should be very useful for you.

Hi Alex, love the framework. Also saw you speak at WordCamp Boulder a couple weeks ago. Good stuff.

How do you recommend handling custom post types with the Carrington Theme? I’m building a site now that utilizes several custom post types but they don’t use categories, tags or specific meta keys that would allow Carrington to distinguish them.

Many thanks.

This looked amazing at first glance until I read the readme under /pages which essentially says “we don’t do pages”. it’s a problem because my CMS architecture is entirely built on a nested page structure (which makes sense, right).

Hi Alex, I would like to be able to have an excerpt under my post title when they are opened through the category. So for example if my category is job techniques and it is clicked, I want my post called Wowing employers to have the excerpt show under the title and then a read more option which would then show the whole post. I’ve searched for various ways of doing this but have yet to have any success. I would definitely appreciate some help on this.

Thank you.

home.php isn't a supported template name in the Post context, that's supported in the General context. You should create a custom loop (loop/home.php) and call the specific content template you want to use on the home page inside that loop file: cfct_template_file('content', 'home'); or, more likely: cfct_template_file('excerpt', 'home'); as desired.

Hi, thanks for the great documentation with examples and all. Much appreciated!

I am wondering about something that many others might be: how to change the post template when viewing the frontpage. I know that a template named home.php in posts/ will change the larger page structure, but it seems to call content/content-default.php. I tried dropping a home.php variant in content/ but it does not get selected.

I often want posts on the frontpage to be more stripped down, with more detail in the index or single views. So this functionality would be great. Thanks!
