In reply to: [Virtue] Image bordersThanks for getting back to me. I thought I’d ticked the box for email notification on forum replies, and have been wondering why I hadn’t heard anything.
I’ve deleted the stray css, have no idea how it got there, but whatever. I took care of it and the page is now displaying as it should.
Many thanks.

In reply to: [Virtue] Image bordersThe image border issue has been resolved. I tried a few things (I don’t really know a lot of css. I just play with stuff until it either breaks or works). Anyway, this is what worked for me:
.kad_img_upload_widget img { border: 1px solid #ddd; }Now there’s a new issue. I’m not sure if I should create a new post, as this is a new problem, but here goes anyway.
I’ve just discovered an issue with my “staff” page. I’m using the two column format to display rates for two different services. In fact, using this template for this purpose is why I bought the premium version of the theme.
So, I’ve set up each service as a staff member, grouped them, and then created a separate page to use for rates, or “staff”. All was working well until today. For some reason, one of my “staff” isn’t displaying at all. I can’t figure it out. The only thing that’s changed is the image border style, and I added a favicon this morning. Everything else is just where I left it yesterday.
Here’s the page where the staff info should be displaying.
And here’s the staff page, itself.
Any help would be most appreciated.

In reply to: [Virtue] Image bordersOh! So it is. My apologies. Just took a while to cache I guess.
Last thing, (probably) the style above applies to the the virtue image widget, yes? And that would be fine, unless there’s text, as in the footers widgets. How to I border just the images?
Again, thanks.

In reply to: [Virtue] Image bordersThank you! That worked on the page images. I tried this on the sidebar images:
.kad_img_upload_widget { border: 1px solid #ddd; }It didn’t work. Any idea how I can fix that?

In reply to: [Virtue] Image bordersSure. Here you go. I have image borders turned off, but I’ll turn them back on so you can see what’s happening.
I rally don’t care for the image margins inside the borders, but I couldn’t identify the styles to change them. Would be grateful for some help with that.
Thanks.

In reply to: [Virtue] Link colour in sidebarI had the same issue. For some reason changes made to my custom sidebars were taking forever to implement. I deactivated my caching plugin, cleared the browser history, hit hard refresh, viewed in different browsers and across different devices. No change.
Then I walked away, came back a half hour later, and there were my sidebar style and text changes. Like magic.
So, no help needed, but I thought I’d mention it anyway, since it happened to someone else as well.

In reply to: Remove custom Fields fromMichealH,
Thanks so much for pointing the way to phpMyAdmin. I found editing each individual post to get rid of unwanted custom fields really time consuming, and kind of frustrating. If you miss just one instance where the value is specified, the custom field stubbornly remains.
I’m running xampp on a local machine, so I was able to nose around without worrying about breaking things. I found it really easy to clear the unwanted custom fields from my database. I’ve searched the forum for this information, and not found instructions for this, so for those wanting step-by-step instructions, here’s how I deleted those fields using phpMyAdmin. Obviously, you should back up your database before you begin.
Go to your hosts phpMyAdmin, and select your database. In the left hand column find wp_postmeta, click to select. You’ll see a table with column headers for meta values (meta_key, post_id, etc…)
Directly above this table is a “sort by key” pull down menu. Select “meta key (ascending)” or “meta key (descending)”. This sorts the keys alphabetically, from the top of the list or the bottom. Where you want to start depends on the name of the meta key for the custom field you want to get rid of.
Use the arrow buttons to navigate through the pages until you find the groups of specific custom values you want to delete. You can click the big red X on the left of each value to delete each individually, or tick the check boxes to delete all or part of a page of values. At the bottom of the table there’s a field for “check all” and next to that is another red X. If you check multiple boxes, use this to delete these lines all at once.
When you click to delete you’ll get a “do you really want to do this” last chance to change your mind table. Remember, once you delete, it’s really gone. If you are sure you have identified the correct fields, click the yes button.
And that’s it. It took me all of five minutes to clear my database of a half dozen or so unwanted custom fields. Now when I write a new post, I see just the four custom fields I use on a regular basis.

In reply to: Comments missing after upgrade and importWhoo, you are a star.
Thanks so much for the detailed directions. They look idiot proof. 😉 I’ll have a go at fixing it myself, and email you if I need to.
Thanks again!

In reply to: Comments missing after upgrade and importI have phpmyadmin open, and have selected the table. When I scroll to the Indexes it looks as though all the indexes have been created already. There are also three error messages for more than one index key being created, which I’m sure I did while trying to fix things.
By walkthough I meant to ask if you could give me more detailed instructions for making these changes to the database than you originally posted. I don’t really know enough to sort this myself, but am great at following directions. 🙂

In reply to: Comments missing after upgrade and importCan you give me a mySql walkthrough on the comments table, please? I don’t know where to find that data.
Thanks!

In reply to: Comments missing after upgrade and importThanks very much for the speedy replay, whooami.
Creating an index in that table is the fix I linked to above. I’ve tried it a couple of times in MySql, and I get the success message each time. When I check the blog, nothing has changed, and all the problems listed above still exist. I just don’t understand why this fix isn’t working for me, but it isn’t.

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comments aren’t listed in the admin panel wordpress 2.5Sadly, eexlebots instructions did not work for me, and my comments are now even more wonky than they were before I ran the fix. I started with a clean install of 2.6, and imported two databases into one blog. The comments were there after the imports, but the numbers in the little comment balloons under Manage were all reading zero. Also, on single post view the comments were there, but above them it read “No comments.”
After running eexlebots phpMyAdmin fix, the comment numbers returned for the the latest posts, across both databases, but the comment numbers on earlier posts are all still reading zero.
And now, as if this weren’t enough to deal with, on the main dashboard page, the Recent Comments section is showing comments from three years ago, and not the most recent ones, which had until today’s db fix been showing up just fine.
I noticed 2.6.1 is available, and am wondering if anyone knows if this bug (if that’s what it is) has been sorted? I was going to wait until the next major release to upgrade, as my plugins are all working together nicely. But I’ll do it now, if it will fix this issue.
Baring that, does anyone have ANY ideas for how to proceed next?

In reply to: [Plugin: Articles] Changes to custom select queryArticles plugin didn’t quite suit my needs, but I found a nice little plugin that didn’t exist a few days ago, and thought I should pass it along. It totally solved my issue of displaying a select list of categories on a nav page. Archives By Selected Category is from the friendly folks at Dagon Design, and is basically a stripped down version of their site map plugin, for those who don’t need a lot of bells and whistles.
