Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: 2.7 with concentric hosting (XO communications)Seems that there’s something about Concentric’s proprietary server clusters that disagrees with WordPress beyond versions 2.2 (hence the plugin that someone posted at the beginning of this thread. They also offer to “fix” wordpress for you for a fee. The problem as I see it is that you always run the risk of future versions of WordPress causing problems and why set yourself up for the possibility of constant trouble?

In reply to: [Plugin: AutoNav Graphical Navigation and Gallery Plugin] links to siblings?I just found a way to SORT OF do this:
postid=”123″ Displays images or subpages attached to the page or post with the given ID, instead of the current page or post.
This way you can force the parent’s children thumbs in to each child. I’ll leave this thread as unresolved in case the plug-in’s author wants to chime in but this feature does solve the problem, essentially.
Having a theme-friendly bit of php would still be sweet though…

In reply to: 2.7 with concentric hosting (XO communications)drat. I was afraid you’d say that. I don’t understand. Doesn’t anyone on Concentric / XO Communications use WordPress?

In reply to: 2.7 with concentric hosting (XO communications)Tried that but got the same message. Also the tech at Concentric tried to log in to WP and got the same message. I’m 99% sure the problem is on their end…

In reply to: 2.7 with concentric hosting (XO communications)I just talked to an XO support guy. He said they use cluster servers so it’s not a question of the server being old. He wasn’t much help and is going to have some professional services guys call me although they will charge a fee to fix it. At least I can maybe get an answer from them. This is silly. Why won’t it work?

In reply to: 2.7 with concentric hosting (XO communications)A little research has taught me this:
The Web server (running the Web site) does not understand or does not support the HTTP method it finds in the HTTP data stream sent to it by the client (e.g. a Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot). The methods defined by the HTTP protocol are as follows:
* POST: Submit data to the Web server such as 1) post a message to a bulletin board, newsgroup or mailing list, 2) provide input data – typically from a CGI form – to a data-handling process, 3) add a record directly to a database.
Fixing 501 errors – general
This error should be very rare in any Web browser. It is more likely if the client is not a Web browser – particularly if the Web server is old. In either case if the client has specified a valid request type, then the Web server is either responding incorrectly or simply needs to be upgraded.
So is XO running some ancient servers? That makes sense with the ancient management tools they have. Has anyone installed successfully on XO? I don’t want to use the auto install (for version 2.2!) because I want it in a subdirectory and not all spread out in the main dir. Arg!

In reply to: 2.7 with concentric hosting (XO communications)Man am I having a problem with XO. I’m trying to do a manual install. They don’t seem to have phpmyadmin or anything like that so I had to create a database with a third party program and now when I run the install I get to create the admin user (on a screen without any css styling for some reason) and then when I try to log in I get this:
501 Not Implemented We are sorry to be unable to perform the method POST at this time or to this document.Where might I have gone wrong? I uploaded that plugin but I can’t log in to activate it anyway.

In reply to: Jquery EffectThe jquery js that this site uses has the links hard-coded into it. Anyone know of a way of making a wordpress-friendly version of this where the links are dynamically generated with posts or pages? Or is there a jqery that would just scroll to the
<"a href="#post">locations without having to hard-code the links into the js?Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: plugin upgrade disable?Thanks. Yeah, there are trade-offs when customizing plugins so I try to do it only when necessary…

In reply to: New website nifty bit of hackingStevieG: Not a dumb question. The page2cat plugin (aka Category Page) is designed to do a few cool things, one of which is display posts from a particular category in a page. I made a category specifically for posts that I wanted to highlight on the front page, then I made that alteration to the plugin so it would use a different crinkly paper background image for each one so it would look cool.
