Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Categories ID/Slug – Huge issues!Thank you t31os_ but apparently, opening a ticket is of no use. If the solution is to hack WordPress core files, I don’t consider it a real fix but a bandage.
Like guischarf reported in his ticket: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10712, I also use category and subcategory titles to load images. So that’s a big problem. And I use many categories, rename each one of them is unimaginable…
WP 2.9 doesn’t fix the problem, I spent all the day trying to create/assign/whatever I could do with categories and slugs without success.
I really think it should be a top priority for WP 3.0, because it really is an issue not only for me but for anyone using WP as a CMS with multiple categories/subcategories…
I hope the development team will finally hear our voice. It’s Xmas, please do something! 😉

In reply to: Categories ID/Slug – Huge issues!Hi lee.jordan! It’s been almost a year I posted my comment and I still encounter the same problem dealing with duplicate category names/slugs. And you and me are far from being the only ones.

And so on…And still, no change… I know WP is free, I know developers do a tremendous job and I always thank the community on my blogs using WordPress, I’m a proud and respectful user of WordPress.
But how comes this is still a problem for so long, after so many posts on this forum and on so many websites I visited? I know many tickets are already open and WP staff do their best but this issue is a BIG one when you use WP as a CMS. WP won CMS Award last November, that’s great but accepting multiple slugs/category names is one, if not the most important thing to do when you deal with a CMS-structured blog.
I really hope all our messages will be heard with 2.9. Guys at WordPress really deserve our respect for everything that has been done so far but please hear our voices.
Thank you!

In reply to: Important category management issuesOk, so I’m not the only one with this problem…
So will WP 2.9 resolve it?
I hope so, it does complicate a lot of things 🙁

In reply to: Important category management issuesI was just wondering if what I tried to explain was clear enough or too confusing… Since nobody answered, maybe I am the only one with this problem 🙁

In reply to: Exclude Sticky Posts from QueryOk, a ?> was missing, got it 🙂
But the sticky post still appears in the list… I changed the category ID but it’s still there. I think it’s because the sticky post is listed as a recent post posted in this category. Which I don’t want because it’s already on my top page so I don’t want a duplicate in the list…
Here’s my code:
<?php
$args = array(
‘category__in’ => array(14),
‘showposts’ => 10,
‘post__not_in’ => get_option(‘sticky_posts’),
‘caller_get_posts’=>1
); ?><?php array(“post__not_in” =>get_option(“sticky_posts”));
query_posts(‘showposts=10&cat=14’); ?><?php $i=1; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if ($i == 1) : ?>
//My stuff
<?php else : ?>
//My stuff
<?php endif; ?>
<?php $i++; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Exclude Sticky Posts from QueryThanks a lot!
I got a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ so I can’t see if it actually works…

In reply to: Exclude Sticky Posts from QueryHi MichaelH, thanks! I looked at the Codex during my search but I just want to list 10 posts from category 2 (with a different layout for the first post) so I’m not interested by the paged layout at all.
And I have no idea how the ‘clean’ this code so it can work with my query_posts…
Thanks for your help!

In reply to: [Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] Choose which categories to displayThanks for the quick reply 🙂
Too bad for the categories because I wanted a slideshow showing the latest news for my index page for book cateogy, my movies category and so on… I thought it would not be that difficult to add such a feature since the call is made directly by the function inside the page and it doesn’t need to be saved in the admin page, just like the <?php query_posts(‘showposts=number_of_post&cat=id_number’); ?> works. I think it’s an important feature to implement.
As for the link not being available, I tried everything and I still can’t get the link to my post when I click on the image from the slideshow…
And concerning the position of the buttons, the only choice you give is left or right. Isn’t there any other way to have them below the images?
I spent the entire day on your plugin and it’s really great. Still working on it 😉

In reply to: [Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] Choose which categories to displayMe again, I found how to call the function but still not how to specify different categories on each slideshow.
Another problem: there is no link available when I click on the image, all I get is ‘/#frontpage-slideshow’. Do you know why?
By the way, would it be possible to have the buttons displayed below the image instead of left/right sides?
I keep seaching on my side 🙂

In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Not indexing static page?3.1.5 is out, but apparently it still doesn’t include static pages into the sitemap… That’s so bad, this plugin is so great 🙁
But I’m still thinking maybe I am the only one (and hazematic) with this problem…

In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Not indexing static page?Hi leewillis, of course I selected “Include static pages” in the plugin options.
And of course Google will still index my pages but the purpose of this plugin is to optimize referencing. Since my blog is only static pages, I had to create an XML sitemap by myself and not use this great plugin… Pity.

In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Sitemap looking like RSS FeedHi rsciw, I call the example taken from my own website a RSS Feed-like. The HTML example is taken from the author’s plugin website.
So which one is normal? The RSS Feed-like one (<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ ?>) or the HTML one (using table, link, color)?
Thanks!

In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Sitemap looking like RSS FeedI’m starting to think it’s a bug from the plugin.
If it happened to someone else, please let me know.
It just happened to a friend of mine, he’s got the RSS Feed-like sitemap too…
