In reply to: Only show posts from one Category on main pageNote the
hide_emptyparameter. The default is 1, so passing ahide_empty=0should show empty categories.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: get_posts – multiple categories & excluding categoriesIt will exclude a single category with ease — simply specify a negative category number when using The Loop stuff Lorelle pointed out — however multiple exclusions are currently not possible. You can however simply specify every category you want to include… lengthy, ugly, but currently the only way to do it short of a core code change (which, if you’re brave, you can read about here.)

In reply to: Spell Checker Plugin problemsI should just kill that warning :). Read this and see if it helps.

In reply to: My Sidebar!you are somewhat obligated to answer if not what is the point of you or anyone being here
The point of being here is to help people in their usage of WordPress, not be a free design bureau for someone who doesn’t care to take the time to learn from what’s out there. There are a surprising number of resources available to teach you how to achieve a two-column layout in CSS, which is what you want to do. As a couple of people have said, there are also a number of existing themes that have two-column layouts that you could apply to your site. However, you’d rather have someone — let it be said again in case it hasn’t sunk in yet, an utterly uncompensated volunteer — do the work for you. And then complain and be a smartass when it doesn’t happen.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, you’ve likely burned your bridges with the very people who were the most willing and able to help you. I know you’ve burned them with me, as this will certainly be the last missive you’ll hear from me. Good luck.

In reply to: Spell Checker Plugin problemsI created a “spell-plugin” folder and copied all the remaining files into it.
Where did you create this folder? If it’s not in
wp-content, that’s likely the issue.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Only show posts from one Category on main pageTry diddling with wp_list_cats. It should be able to be coaxed into doing what you want.

In reply to: My Sidebar!Work it out, CK. Adding a sidebar to a theme that doesn’t support it is a big job and beyond the scope of even a Support Maven. Try looking at existing themes that support sidebars.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: InstallationShould I delete the current index.html so the the index.php takes over?
Or, to see if the blog content is even there, simply append an explicit “index.php” to the end of the URL. A reinstall really won’t help you at this point.

In reply to: Theme selection option not available on blog?Well, there’s Ryan’s.

In reply to: Theme selection option not available on blog?If you’re talking about having a theme switcher for your users to switch themes, that isn’t built-in to WordPress. Perhaps a plugin provides that functionality, I don’t know.

In reply to: InstallationWhen I go to my home page of the domain, the blog should be there, right? But it was not.
What was there? Do you still have your
index.htmlin that place? That’s likely overriding WordPress’index.phpthat should be the new index.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: is_home problemCare to post some code? As given, there’s no reason for it to behave as you say. Stick something up on http://pastebin.com or something.
