Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Search Results Page JumbledI see the problem. Your search query returns posts AND pages. It’s the page that makes the layout break since its using a
pageclass instead ofpostlike the rest.You can either edit the CSS of the
pageclass to match it withpostclass OR exclude pages from the search result.Forum: Fixing WordPress

<a href="tel:+12128961299">212.896.1299</a>. This will trigger whatever application is used to dial a phone number.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Updating my siteMost of the time, yes. Make a backup just in case.

In reply to: Facebook Thumbnail Image ProblemWeird indeed. You can try debugging your links and take a close look on how Facebook sees them. Compare your new links with the ones already shared to Facebook. I can only imagine your links are sending a smaller image rather than the original uploaded one (you know, ‘image-300×300.jpg’, etc.)

In reply to: Facebook Thumbnail Image ProblemOh, I see. That’s basically because of the image size. If the width of the image is smaller than 600px it will get the “small” version.

In reply to: Search Results Page JumbledThe code seems okay. A link to the actual search result page would really help.

In reply to: Facebook Thumbnail Image ProblemWhat I know about Facebook is that they display shared links differently depending on what page you’re on. When I see my links on my own Timeline, they’re displayed like the one you described: smaller thumbnail on the left. But if you click on the publish link (usually under the title displaying when you shared it, e.g. “an hour ago”), it’ll take you to the “full” view. This view with the large image (taking all the column width and above the description/summary) is also used on the News Feed.
So it’s a small version on our own Timeline, but full version on the News Feed. Let me know if this is not the issue.

In reply to: Custom Fields in Custom Post TypeTry this plugin to setup almost any type of custom field you need. I have it installed on almost all my sites.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Sidebar help for a Rookie!What I see from the the source, the new page is using the same template as its parent. An easy way to troubleshoot this is to compare both your new page and its parent on their edit screens, and see if there are some extra settings you may have missed/left out. It’s not uncommon for some themes to have a setting on what sidebar you want to display on the page.

In reply to: is it possible with wordpress??If you just need a nicer permalink (without the ‘category’ part but still being able to use an archive page template), you can probably look into this article.
There’s also a plugin for this. I used it before and it’s great.
Hope that helped.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Basic Questions on Installation – not in FAQ1. The .htaccess file should be placed in the main WordPress directory (/www/wp or the same directory of wp-config.php).
2. As long as the directories are allowed to read, it would be fine. Some directories will require to be set to CHMOD 777 like certain plugins.
3. Well, in order for you to edit the Theme from the Dashboard, you will have to set it to 777. Instead, edit/upload manually via FTP or use an editor that can edit/upload directly into your site like Dreamweaver.
4. Most likely it is caused by permission or your permalink structure -> .htaccess.
5. Of course. Create a Page then set it as the Home Page in the Dashboard Settings.
