In reply to: [Plugin: Portfolio Slideshow] No autoplay?Well, I did find a way to fix it on my end: hack the portfolio_slideshow.php file to change the timeout from zero to a large number, like 5000.

In reply to: 500 ErrorI’m an ocassional Fatcow user, and I can confirm that PHP is broken on some of their servers until you contact tech support. Then they’ll run a program on their end that enables it. Yet another reason to find alternate hosting, IMO.

In reply to: visual rich editorI was having the same problem after upgrade from 1.5 to 2, even with the checkbox checked in the lower left corner of the Users page. Then I noticed I had a plugin from 1.5 called “WYSIWYG Plugin for WordPress”. After I deactivated it the normal version 2 rich text editor came online. Maybe for anyone else who’s having this problem, you can try disabling various plugins to see if they’re the culprit.

In reply to: WP 2 WYSIWYG H1/H2/H3 support?In fact, here’s a list of other buttons/selectors that can probably be added to customize the default WP 2 RTE WYSIWYG TinyMCE Editor using the same instructions above (a lot of these are already enabled):
bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, justifyleft, justifycenter, justifyright, justifyfull, bullist, numlist, outdent, indent, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, link, unlink, image, cleanup, help, code, hr, removeformat,, formatselect, fontselect, fontsizeselect, styleselect, sub, sup, forecolor, backcolor, charmap, visualaid, anchor, newdocument, separator
For more information on what each of these does, I’d download the full TinyMCE package from their website and look in the HTML docs that come with it, or maybe just troll the TinyMCE forums. I bet that at least some of these buttons won’t work “out of the box” with WP, or have some other issues.

In reply to: WP 2 WYSIWYG H1/H2/H3 support?Here’s how to do it for a default WP 2 installation:
- Open the file wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php
- Go to line number 127, or perform a search for
$mce_buttons = apply_filters(‘mce_buttons’ - At the end of this line you’ll see ‘wphelp’)); and you should replace this with ‘wphelp’, ‘formatselect’));
- Re-upload this file.
Note that you can put that ‘formatselect’ anywhere in that line 127 of code that you want — I just put it at the end because that’s where I want it. Et voila, a dropdown selector will now appear in the WYSIWYG editor that lets you choose
, <h1>, <h2>, etc. tags, along with some wierd tags like<address>and <pre>.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Incorporating Blog into main site layoutIf you want your root site to be a WP blog, I believe you need to reinstall WP into your root folder, not your /blog folder. Or, you could setup an .htaccess redirect so that /index.php points to blog/index.php, but I recommend just reinstalling into root for reasons of better search engine rankings. You should be able to use the same database so no data should be lost.
Now, to get your WP to look like the rest of your static site, use one of your main site’s HTML pages as a starting point. In wp-content/themes/default, you should copy and paste the appropriate sections of your main HTML template into the following files:
– footer.php
– header.php
– index.php
– page.php
– style.cssYou may need to use some of the other files in that folder as well. It really depends on what your static HTML page template looks like. And note that if images are broken you may need to prefix all source references to images and links with ../../
Hope this makes sense. What you want to do is not newbie stuff.

In reply to: Can’t login all of a sudden — loops back to login page.I fixed it by:
# Check the siteurl value in the wp-options table of your WordPress database. A guide to doing this is available here (http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/).
# Is it set as http:/?
# If it is, change site_url to the correct value.For some reason it wasn’t set at the correct value. Thanks for that link!

In reply to: How to best create a directory of articles?Thanks, this is perfect! I had done an external link directory using a similar method but your method is more applicable for articles.
