In reply to: WP Database ErrorMethinks it’s the “AND id NOT IN (-1,241))” portion that is throwing everything off.

In reply to: How to show who writes a postThis would go in your index.php file for your theme within “the loop”.
To get an idea of how that’d work, look at /wp-content/themes/default/index.php and look at line #11. You will see the call to the_author() there and notice that it’s been commented out.

In reply to: problems with iNSTALLATIONCan you check to see if you have the wp-settings.php file in the same directory as the index.php and wp-config.php. If not, can you upload that from the archive to your webhost and try again.

In reply to: I am confused about the htaccess thingyYou will need to ensure that the file has writable permissions set before WP can write/update that file for you.
When you are on the Options->Permalinks page, if WP was able to access the file properly, then you should just be able to enter your structure and hit the UPDATE button to have it written out to the .htaccess file.
If, however, WP couldn’t access the .htaccess file properly, you will see a textbox containing the contents of the .htaccess that you will have to copy into the file.
Additionally, you should probably use a slightly more descriptive structure than just the postname.
The default of /archives/%year%/%month%/%day%/%postname% works. You can add or leave out the .html part at the end, most search engines don’t care about that.

In reply to: Using a ~ in the address to link to a WP blog…I realize that your website works with ~. The problem is that most systems will usually translate things like ~ ( ) and other characters into their ASCII value. Thats just how it works.
You could just as easily fix this by creating a “virtual host” or a subdomain line ges.wingfoot.org.
It is generally inadvisable to have “~” in the URL unless you’re using the website on an internal network.

In reply to: Where will I find a plugin on RSSI’m not sure you’re stating your question properly. Please check out this link about RSS and see if that’s what you mean.
RSS allows FeedReaders to grab the latest content from your site on demand. WP doesn’t necessarily send RSS feeds anywhere.
Perhaps you are talking about pinging sites like Technorati or Ping-o-matic??

In reply to: Using a ~ in the address to link to a WP blog…This has nothing to do with WP. You need to configure Apache either using Directory Aliases, or better yet Virtual Hosts.

In reply to: Changing PermalinkI’m not certain as I’m not an expert on .htaccess. But perhaps someone a little more knowledgable will reply.

In reply to: Deleting Comments Older then 7 DaysI wrote a plugin Auto Delete Posts that will delete posts that are older than a certain number of days. You could just as easily modify it to delete comments using the “wp_delete_comment” function.
If you’re not into coding, then I can take a look at doing the modification.

In reply to: how to “shorten” the postsYou want the the_excerpt() call. This will shorten your post to 120 words by default if there is no explicit excerpt.
You can then add your own “read more” tag.

In reply to: Changing PermalinkYou would change the permalink structure under Options->Permalinks, but you cannot change the structure with that much granularity. It’s one structure for all, pages and posts..
