It could be a conflict with something else that’s been updated. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Pages wont display](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-wont-display-2/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-wont-display-2/#post-1688131) * If it works with twentyten then it sounds like there might be a fault with the theme. * Try replacing the `page.php` file in your theme folder with a fresh copy from of the original theme. If that doesn’t work, try a fresh copy of the whole theme and see if that works. * You can also give it a try without any plugins. If it starts working, then re- enable them one at a time until it breaks – that will tell you what the culprit is. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: ["Google Analytics for WordPress" re-authenticate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-for-wordpress-re-authenticate/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-for-wordpress-re-authenticate/#post-1668258) * No problem Joost. Thanks for making a great plugin! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [One database, one test site, one live site!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-database-one-test-site-one-live-site/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-database-one-test-site-one-live-site/#post-1687467) * Instead of deleting and re-installing the the test site, it’s probably better to just move the files out of the sub-folder and into the domain root. * You may need to update your `wp-config.php` file by adding: * ``` define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.myclient.com'); define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.myclient.com'); ``` * after the database connection details. This tells WordPress that the site has moved location. The database details should stay the same. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Pages wont display](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-wont-display-2/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-wont-display-2/#post-1688059) * It could be a number of things: the first thing to try is to switch back to the default theme and check with that. If it’s still not working, try disabling any plugins in case of a conflict. * Also, rebuild your permailinks by going to Settings -> Permalinks in the admin pages, choosing a format and then clicking on ‘Save Changes’. And maybe double check your .htaccess file in case there is anything non-standard in there. * Hope one of those helps. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [List variables declared for custom post type](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-variables-declared-for-custom-post-type/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-variables-declared-for-custom-post-type/#post-1688045) * Use `get_post_type_object('name_of_your_custom_post_type')`. It should return the full post_type object as registered, including the array of capabilities. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [sort posts by a sum of two metakey values](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sort-posts-by-a-sum-of-two-metakey-values/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sort-posts-by-a-sum-of-two-metakey-values/#post-1688041) * The only option I can think of is to create a hidden ‘sum’ meta field that is automatically updated when the post is updated and then sort on that. * There are a couple of action hooks you could use: `update_post_meta` & `updated_post_meta` which fire before and after updating the meta values. I would take a bit of coding but it should be hook into those and update the third ‘sum’ field when either of the other two are updated. * Look in `wp-includes/meta.php` at the `update_metadata` function to get an idea of how those hooks work. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Category List Dropdown help needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-list-dropdown-help-needed/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-list-dropdown-help-needed/#post-1670306) * Ok, If you want an unordered list of the post titles, that’s a bit more complex. * You might be best creating a separate `category.php` template in your theme directory where you can customise the layout in more detail. * Here’s a basic `category.php` file [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1940373](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1940373). I haven’t tested it and you will need to do some styling to get it to look exactly like the example you linked to. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Category List Dropdown help needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-list-dropdown-help-needed/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-list-dropdown-help-needed/#post-1670148) * 1) To remove category 7, you should just be able to do: `` * 2) It depends a bit on the theme you are using. You may have to edit the ‘archive. php’ file in your theme (or child theme). There will probably a call to `the_excerpt()` which you can either remove entirely (which will also change your tag, monthly, author archive pages) or filter it like so: * ``` ``` * You may need to edit some of the other markup around it as well depending on how you want it to display. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: ["Google Analytics for WordPress" re-authenticate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-for-wordpress-re-authenticate/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-for-wordpress-re-authenticate/#post-1668135) * No problem – glad you got it working. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Global Disable/Enable Sidebar Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/global-disableenable-sidebar-plugin/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/global-disableenable-sidebar-plugin/#post-1669328) * Unfortunately it’s not possible to globally disable all sidebars in all themes without hacking the core files. When `get_sidebar()` is called, WordPress will always try to load a sidebar template, either from the current theme or `wp-includes/ theme-compat/sidebar.php` if that fails. * Of course, you can disable any widgets in the usual way if the theme is widgetized, but that may still leave empty mark-up on the page where the widget area is. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: ["Google Analytics for WordPress" re-authenticate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-for-wordpress-re-authenticate/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-for-wordpress-re-authenticate/#post-1668082) * Google needs to be able to communicate with your site in order to authenticate properly – your server configuration may be preventing it. * If it fails, then it’s probably easier to just choose ‘Manually enter UA code’ type the UA code from your Analytics account instead. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: ["Google Analytics for WordPress" re-authenticate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-for-wordpress-re-authenticate/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-analytics-for-wordpress-re-authenticate/#post-1667882) * The plugin needs the UA tracking ID from Google so it can generate the appropriate code for your site. * Just go to Settings->Google Analytics in the admin menu. Click ‘Click here to authenticate with Google’ and follow the instructions. Then you can choose which analytics profile you want to use. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Post thumnail in Thematic wont wrap text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-thumnail-in-thematic-wont-wrap-text/) * [Dan Bissonnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/) * (@asinglehumanbeing) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-thumnail-in-thematic-wont-wrap-text/#post-1666715) * Sorry – missed a semicolon. Try this: * ``` function my_post_title($posttitle) { if (is_single() || is_page()) { $posttitle = '

' . get_the_title() . "

\n"; } elseif (is_404()) { $posttitle = '

Looking at it, I think it’s probably better to put the thumbnail within the post title and then float it. Here’s a replacement for your function which should do the job. You won’t need any extra styling as the theme has an alignleft class which does the work for you: * ``` function my_post_title($posttitle) { if (is_single() || is_page()) { $posttitle = '

' . get_the_title() . "

\n"; } elseif (is_404()) { $posttitle = '

' . __('Not Found', 'thematic') . "

\n"; } elseif (is_category()) { $posttitle = '

'; $posttitle .= ''.get_the_post_thumbnail(NULL, 'thumbnail').'' $posttitle .= ''; $posttitle .= get_the_title(); $posttitle .= "

\n"; } else { $posttitle = '

'; $posttitle .= get_the_title(); $posttitle .= "

\n"; } return $posttitle; } add_filter('thematic_postheader_posttitle', 'my_post_title'); ``` Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asinglehumanbeing/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
