In reply to: RSS From a wordpress categoryWow, that took a couple of readings to understand, and I hope I actaully understood what you are asking for.
You want to take the RSS Feed from a particular category in WP and have it show up on a different web page? Well each category in WP already exports it’s contents through RSS.
You simply need to point to <yourdomain.name>/category/<category name>/feed to get it, assuming you have permalinks enabled.
Now on the other side, you’ll need a RSS feed aggregator to publish the contents.
If you’re trying to accomplish all of this with WP, i.e., get a RSS feed from some page and put it into your blog, check out CG-FeedReed from ChaitGear.net’s CG-PowerPack.

In reply to: Plugin Suggestions?What moshu meant to say is that as we go about making our blog our personal identity on the web, we find that there are things we wish WP would do for us but doesn’t. For that precise situation we either create/get a plugin to perform the functions.
There is definitely a level of “cool” factor with some of the plugins.
But be aware, with each plugin that you add you are adding to the processing time of inidividual posts or the whole site in general. You could easily bring your site to an absolute crawl by adding a few choice plugins. 🙂
That’s what moshu meant, right moshu? 😉

In reply to: Blog urls with ~ ?I would think that hardcoding the stylesheet_url will get the OP past the first problem, but as the underlying code will continue to encode the URL, they’ll have more problems as they get farther.
The real solution for this case would be isolate the location in WP where the encoding is done and prevent it from happening.
I took a quick glance at the code but didn’t find anything specific yet, but perhaps people a little more familiar with WP code layout/structure will point you in the right direction.

In reply to: WordPress feat. IIS 6.0So you set the DBHOST to be “localhost” and WP still has trouble, while you can login manually? Am I understanding you correctly?
WP doesn’t do anything fancy to establish the connection, so if you can login, it should be able to as well.
Which host do you have your site with?

In reply to: Angry ISP says I need to fix script. Help!For starters, WordPress is written in PHP, not Perl. Secondly it does not run a FTP daemon for you. This is not a WordPress issue but something else you might have inadvertantly installed or enabled.

In reply to: WordPress feat. IIS 6.0You sure you got the database server name right? It is usually LOCALHOST or a name that is specific to your webhost. You don’t use your domain name for it.

In reply to: Where Are The WordPress Pages??After creating your page, go to Manage->Pages in the Admin tab, you will see View/Edit/Delete for each of your pages. Click View to see what it looks like. You will also see the Page ID there.
For starters, I would enable <A href=”http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks”>Permalinks on your site.
Virtually everything that you write in WP is stored in the database and retrieved dynamically.
Do not go looking for static HTML files as you will not find them.

In reply to: MySQL connection failing for no reasonAny chance your webhost is preventing access to this external SQL server? Does your host not provide a MySQL database for you to use?

In reply to: Comments possibilityLook in /wp-content/themes/<your-theme-name> and look at single.php (if you have it) and other files in there.

In reply to: Extract data from MySQL the easy way…How?If you exported your database to a .SQL file, it should just be a regular text file. Try opening it in Wordpad and if you can see relevant SQL commands like, “DROP IF EXISTS”, “CREATE TABLE”, “INSERT INTO TABLE” and so on, you’ve got a valid file that you can use phpMyAdmin to re-create your database.
So before we can figure out why you are seeing gibberish in the file, how exactly did you create your backup?

In reply to: Two domains, NEARLY identicle blogsMajority of the things can be shared, but the one thing that would need to be different because of the differing domain names would be some of the entries in the Options table.
Your best bet would be probably to modify WP lightly to grab the Posts/Comments from the same location while keeping different tables for other site-specific things.

In reply to: “Display Until…” Plugin available?My plugin does #1 and #2 and it could easily be made to do #3. But, of course, as you’ve already noted it’s for all posts and not necessairly a single post.
I will explore the ways of implementing this on a post-by-post basis.
