In reply to: mx4 with stats pluginOpen your sidebar.php file-alter the file-for example, and I’m using mine since I use this-I only use the recent posts function though-
\*<?php sem_recent_posts(‘title=Most Recent Posts’); ?>\*
add the lines to ‘get’ the information to the top-right after the div id=sidebar.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Sidebar different in IE and FFFixed-not sure what was in the stylesheet, it did clean it up quite a bit-removing the li’s worked as well. It was my mistake on the form mail-I added in within another div-thanks all for the help-I appreciate it! Thanks Podz for the site! I’ll use it from now on to run checks.

In reply to: Sidebar different in IE and FFok I removed the li’s…
.. I have no clue where those came from, possibly a cut and paste mistake on my part- I did add my form mail back to the sidebar-FF looks great as usual, IE splits it in half. Right after the “Name” field in the form-it breaks, you see ‘name’ then again it breaks all the way to the bottom. Podz-I figured out the moz-radius because I looked it up-tried removing it anyway and while it actually helped in FF in my opinion (with the h2’s in the sidebar) of course nothing in IE. I’ll look at the site you listed and see if I can come up with something. Resizing margins, padding etc., isn’t working.. so there is an error I’m completely missing.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Sidebar different in IE and FFI have the same problem and for now the only solution was to remove 2 small pics, a poll and form mail. I have looked through every forum question relating to this topic-tried everything, and nothing works. I’m using the MX4 theme-so I tried changing the 405 to 400 which didn’t work. I did check the validation-there are quite a few parse errors in the stylesheet-and I’m horrible at CSS so I have no clue how to fix them.

In reply to: Adding field to Comments form in mx4 thememoshu, if you don’t like the instructions we’re giving Ennis then, by all means, attempt to assist instead of redirecting to an earlier post. The forums are here to HELP people, not leave subtle, rude remarks. I have seen other remarks you have made in other threads. I am trying to help Ennis. Let it go.

In reply to: Adding field to Comments form in mx4 themeok.. go to the database that holds your WP installation.(Go to http://www.dreamhost.com, log in to your account). Do this by going to your control panel on dream host’s site-click on goodies. click on mysql. Once there you will see the databases you have. Choose the database you installed WP in. Click the NAME of the database- it will prompt you to enter your user name and password for the database-Enter your admin name and password for the database. Once connected you will see a list of all the tables in the database. Click on “wp_comments”.. once you click this you will see a list of all the tables under wp_comments. You can do one of two things: after the list of all the tables you should see something that says “Add field(s) At End of Table At Beginning of Table After ” and it gives you text boxes and radio buttons. You can add the signature table this way-click go and follow the instructions of any error messages you may receive-OR at the bottom of the phpmyadmin screen-on this page and run the query as “ALTER TABLE wp_comments ADD signature VARCHAR(60);” either way works-I personally just click everything myself because it gives you a little more information than running the query.

In reply to: Adding field to Comments form in mx4 themeYou don’t have to download anything-the WP files you will alter are already in the root and additional folders in WP. Alter the table-I tried it in my database-the query runs however it doesn’t show an extra field. To alter your WP files as Cold mentioned above-either do it through DreamHost-another FTP client-or in my opinion the safe way-and be sure to save a backup copy of the original-edit those files then upload viat FTP. Also set the alter to not_null.

In reply to: Adding field to Comments form in mx4 themeWhat host are you using for your blog? Most have phpMyAdmin-which, if yours doesn’t, I would recommed finding one that does. I use DreamHost-but besides this-You would do the same if you have phpMyAdmin. For example, and I’ll use my database as an example:
Click on the wp_comments table, click on “insert”-in myphpadmin it’s a tab at the top of the screen for me, it may differ with another host, you should see somewhere on the screen the option to add a field-in whichever order you want to the table. Once you choose this you’ll be asked text or varchar-then the name you want to use for the field. You should also see instructions for default values etc. Once you have completed this, click go and the query will tell you whether or not the field was added successfully. Then all you do is insert the additional information as Cold stated and you should see your new field in the comments section. If I’m wrong someone tell me, but I was playing with a ‘play database’ I have set up and it works for me.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Having to Log Out To Add Comment in the MX4 ThemeI had to remove these lines in order for this to work without the admin of the site having to log out before commenting:
<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
Logged in as /wp-admin/profile.php”><?php echo $user_identity; ?>. /wp-login.php?action=logout” title=”<?php _e(‘Log out of this account’) ?>”>Logout »
<?php else : ?>
And at the bottom of the template:
<?php endif; // If registration required and not logged in ?>
Since this theme is based on the Kubric theme I don’t understand since I briefly used Kubric and never had any trouble. For some reason if the admin was logged in it would not show the name/email fields-it just showed you were logged in and could log out. Strangely enough I’m not that great with php but I managed to figure this out! So if anyone else has this issue-removing these lines worked for me. And thanks for your help!!

In reply to: Having to Log Out To Add Comment in the MX4 ThemeNot at all. The only changes I made were to the sidebar to add my links and to the header file to replace my file names for the graphics. Other than this, I’ve not touched any other files.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comments do not appear to be working (since upgrade to 1.5)My installation was a fresh install since I just began using WP. I had 2 different spam plugins activated-I inactivated one-now my comments work? So if you’re having problems, and have spam plugins activated-try inactivating and see if this solves any problems.

In reply to: GetWeather Plugin AvailableI just implemented the plugin and it works great. My only question, and it’s probably a silly one, how do I use another set of icons? I d/led another set, changed the path to where the icons were located, and nothing shows. What do I change in the coding to direct it to a different iconset?
