In reply to: WordPress on Jumpline.com Does it work?As this is a basic connectivity issue, you should always start with your webhost first. Have them help you in getting your mySQL connection work, you can come back and post here if you have specific WordPress problems.

In reply to: programmatically add users and passwords@israel, your situation would require that you hook into WP’s files and add users. Take a look at the file /wp-admin/users.php which adds users to the database. You could replicate this code.
@norasco, if you just want to move from one blog to another, use phpMyAdmin and dump your database to a file, and then import it on your new host.
If you only want users, then just export and import the “wp_users” table.

In reply to: Disable the Dashboard?Install this plugin:
http://wp-plugins.net/plugin/dashboardopts/And disable the FEEDS, that will make it load faster.
The other hack is to just re-direct to /wp-admin/post.php instead of /wp-admin/index.php from /wp-login.php.

In reply to: Burbling.netNice design. A quick note on the nav bar though, the text is extremely small on my browser. Runnning at 1600×1200 resolution, if that matters. Perhaps a contrasting color and slightly larger font will be easier to read.

In reply to: “Read More” is linking to archives pageA URL to your blog would help. What theme are you using and what version of WordPress?

In reply to: NEW! Short URLsViper,
Ahh ok! Should’ve looked into the plugin in a little more detail before speaking. 🙂 As long as the only URL that gets indexed is the full-featured one your plugin is a great idea. 😀

In reply to: NEW! Short URLsPersonally I don’t think that short url necessarily infers any ease of use/understanding. That is, referring to “/post/38” means virtually nothing to a visitor while “archives/2005/08/14/wordpress-v152-released/” gives an idea of what the post is about in a quick glance.
Also, wouldn’t search engines be able to use a descriptive URL to bring up posts as opposed to a non-descriptive one??

In reply to: Auto-delete a post after a given date ?Sonja1234,
In it’s current incarnation this plugin will delete ALL posts that are older than your set date, or move ALL posts into a single category.
Since I’m currently adding the feature to do the moving of posts, I could just as easily add an extra feature to the deleting of posts that allow you to restrict deletion to only a single category.
If that works, lemme know and I’ll incorporate it into the next release.

In reply to: Problems whith mySQLYou will need the specific mySQL server name from your webhost. If it is not readily available through their online FAQ’s or web panel, then email them and ask for it.

In reply to: How do I “comment” in php files?PHP doesn’t care about long lines as long as it’s not a new line. Word wrapping done by your editor doesn’t affect PHP.
However, if you do something like:
// this should be a really long
line but on a new line instead of continuation
The above will fail because I used two line and not the long continuation of a single line.
In general, it is BEST pratice to use the // operator on very small comments. Anything that might become a sentence, you shouold use /* and */.

In reply to: Add smiley in live previewHow about asking the author of the plugin for this particular feature?

In reply to: Newbie … Deleting DraftsThe SQL code to indescriminently delete all drafts is easy to create, but if you only want to delete a handful or selected ones, this would require a little more work. It might be easier just to edit the ones you want to delete from the Admin menu in that case.

In reply to: Plugin: Auto Delete PostsIt is definitely possible to hook into the display of a page to trigger the plugin to check for post deletion, the only issue with this as you’ve already noted would be the efficiency.
It would be quite strenous for the system to have to execute a SQL query to check for posts to be deleted (and actually delete them) every time a page is viewed. If you have a popular website, this would add many unnecessary queries and slow things down.
However, if you are on a dedicated machine and don’t mind the overhead, it is certainly something I can give you an option to enable. 🙂

In reply to: Auto-delete a post after a given date ?Sorry for not replying back folks, I was out of the country for most of July. I’m back now and working on the plugin again.
Expect something in the next few days.
