In reply to: foreach () problemThis is the official usage of the foreach() command. Is what you are doing even legal?

In reply to: removing sidebarYou can create a seperate template for pages and in that template you would eliminate the sidebar.
Take a look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates to get an idea of how to play with templates.

In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!There is no such thing as “…/sidebar.php”, there should only be two dot’s.
Try <? include (“../sidebar.php”); ?>

In reply to: Cannot get RSS on my site workingThe word “feed” is being added by your theme. That’s completely fine, in SOME cases people will have the mime-type “feed:” attached to their favorite new reader and it will load up your RSS feed no problem.
Very seldom do you look at the contents of a RSS feed directly in your browser as you can’t do much with the XML output.
So I wouldn’t worry about it, use Firefox or a RSS reader and point it to the full feed:http://blah.blah.blah line you’ll see it work.

In reply to: seperating trackbacks?Are you using a plugin to retrieve the latest comments? If so, you’d have to probably modify the SQL query it’s using to get the information.
One of the entries in the ‘wp_comments’ table is ‘comment_type’. It can either be ‘comment’, ‘trackback’, or ‘pingback’.
The SQL query should be changed to just return entries that are of type comment, of course. 🙂

In reply to: Is RSS automatically activated?I think a general assumption is made that if you were to go out of the way and install a blogging software you know what you are doing. If you don’t, you’d end up using something like Blogger.com or livejournal.com or something, but it’s definitely a bad assumption.
But we’re glad to help ease any confusion in the forums. 🙂
And from the looks of it, RSS seems to be stumping a bunch of people lately.
Enjoy your blogging.

In reply to: Cannot get RSS on my site workingIt’s correct to a point..but when you click on that link, it essentially spews out XML’ized version of your posts/content.
You can see what I mean by clicking on this link on your website. It is basically what you have on there EXCEPT, I’ve removed the “feed:” before the link.
The way you go about reading RSS is with an RSS Reader. You can get a standalone version or you can use a browser like Firefox to look at them.
Sharpreader is the program I use. You can give that a shot or try others..

In reply to: Goodbye and good luck to all.The forums can indeed be a war zone sometimes and some of the most vetern folks are usually to be blamed for inciting it.
Most novices/newbees come here without much prior knowledge of WP, or forums or blogging and get blasted lack of knowledge and that’s not right.
But hard to control the posters on a volunteer, and largely open forums.
@ Moose and TG, whatever you reasons are leaving, good luck.

In reply to: Is RSS automatically activated?Yes the RSS generation capability is inherently present within WordPress.
Once you write your first post it will be available for syndication. You can control some of the RSS options by going into your Admin section and then Options->Reading, and you can control the number of posts that you syndicate and whether you syndicate the entire content or just a summary.
The rest of it should be handled automatically for you.

In reply to: Cannot get RSS on my site workingYour feed works fine in SharpReader which is the RSS Reader program I use.
How are you testing your feed?

In reply to: WP 1.5.1.1 MySQL issuesWhat plugins do you have running on your site? Always start there.
If you are not able to access your database through phpMyAdmin, then it would seem that the server/service is somehow affected, your web host can better tell you what is going on.

In reply to: ghost .htaccessYou’re welcome. 🙂

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: ghost .htaccessYour permalink structure as the word “index.php” in there, so it will work FINE without a .htaccess file. But having broken stuff in the file will nicely break your website.
Go to options->permalinks under Admin section, look at your permalink structure and remove “index.php” from the structure, then save the options.
Now go through your site, if you blank your .htaccess, your site will break.
Using “index.php” is a hack to allow you to get nice-links without the use of .htaccess file.

In reply to: Exhibit get_currentuserinfo() error with WP1.5.1.1The plugin has to be changed to work with 1.5.1/1.5.1.1.
The function get_currentuserinfo() was moved to a file that loads AFTER all the plugins are loaded and as such any plugin that calls this function will break.

In reply to: Entries with no title can’t have comments posted to them.If you don’t want enter post titles (not sure why you’d NOT want to), then if you disable permalinks, you will get links that look like:
yoursite.com/?p=<post id>
which will work without titles.
