Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Changing permalinks causes all links to breakThanks so much for the input. I just tried both ways and neither worked. I’ve got .htaccess chmoded to 644. Should it be something else?
Here is what I have in the file (also tried it with Options… inside the WP code:
Options +Followsymlinks # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressI did figure out one thing. The code generated by the Options>Permalinks page does NOT include:
# BEGIN WordPress
or
# END WordPressI tried using the code without it first, then added it. Still, no go.

In reply to: Meta sidebar problemLysander, that was it. Thanks so much. It was in the widgets.php file.
I also added the list tags on the credits section. Also had to add class information. Still, it’s not formatting like the others. It’s got too much spacing between each item. Don’t know where that’s coming from.

In reply to: Theme keeps resetting to defaultI’ve got a clue as to when this is happening, but not why. Still need input.
I have redone an integration of WordPress and and Vanilla using the “Janine” add-on in Vanilla. Here is what happens.
Blog entry created.
Link to Vanilla discussion is below the blog post.
When Discussion link is clicked, a new Vanilla discussion is created. This first post in this new discussion has text with a link back to the to blog post that the thread is discussing. Here is the code in Janine that creates the link:
$Configuration[‘JanineDiscBody’] = ‘Please join us to discuss %BlogPostTitle%.’;
$Configuration[‘JanineDiscFormat’] = ‘Html’;When the discussion link is clicked, the discussion is created and linked beautifully and the viewer is taken to the new discussion.
BUT when the user clicks the link back to the blog article, the user is directed back, but the WordPress theme disappears (reverting to the default theme) AND the viewer is on a WordPress comment entry page, ready to post comments into WP. (With Janine, all comments are supposed to be made in the Discussion forum. The viewer should never see the WP comments boxes.)
Help!
I’m using the latest versions of WP, Vanilla, and Mistylook.

In reply to: Author.php removes formattingYes, I knew that. 🙂 I did go back and put the HTML back in before I tested it. And I did edit the correct file. I did not, however, put it in the right place.
Now, when I save, the formatting is intact.
However, another problem has appeared. Ah, but I fixed it in the author.php file.
Otto, thank you for your time and expertise. Your assistance has been invaluable and I sincerely appreciate it.

In reply to: HTML in “About yourself” of profile, or at least line breaksSince it wasn’t working for me at the time, I thought it would be acceptable to look at other options, while awaiting a possible reply on the code placement.
If someone can address the questions I posted above, I would still appreciate an answer. It would help me continue to learn how WP works.
FWIW, with the additional information, the other code works and is certainly more elegant. Try it!
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: “About Yourself” aka “About the user” field removes formattingI’m sorry. I thought the “Requests and Feedback” was for, well, “Requests and Feedback.” It appears–from the title–that this area would be one where the WP programmers would look for implementation ideas or for future development. So, I was hoping that future versions might include the ability to add HTML in the “About Yourself” field.
I was unaware it was inappropriate to leave feedback about something I had already requested assistance with elsewhere.
Again, my apologies for the inconvenience.

In reply to: HTML in “About yourself” of profile, or at least line breaksI just found this “messy solution.”
It’s true that tags in brackets (such as [b]) don’t get stripped when you save the “About Yourself” or “About the user” fields. So, perhaps this could work to add the paragraph markers back in but I’m having some problems:
(1) Where in the author.php do you put the code? I tried putting it before the Loop and in the Loop. Didn’t work.
(2) It seems that replacing [p] and [/p] with “”, isn’t going to help. Wouldn’t you replace them with <p> and </p>? (But that didn’t work either…)
Here is the thread I posted on:

Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: “About Yourself” aka “About the user” field removes formattingYes, the response doesn’t work as far as I can tell, as per my response to the response. 🙂 I tried a number of things I got from other sources, too.
So, I’m putting this in the “Request and Feedback” folder (as opposed to the “How-To and Troubleshooting” folder that the other is in) in hopes that it can be addressed at some point.

In reply to: Author.php removes formattingOtto42, thank you!
I do have a functions.php file, but it has multiple lines that begin with
<?php
I tried to place the code in a few places within those tags, but couldn’t get the page to change. Am I placing it wrong?
As I look at this, however, I think the solution has to come from the core. When I put HTML into the “About Yourself” field, and save, the paragraph markers disappear. The are stripped out by WP when saved, not when the page is created.
Can’t figure out why this would be done. Is there a way to enter them that won’t be removed?
