Is there such a plugin to automatically update the permalink? In the WP model I’m working with, people can often have a need to change the title of a page before it is published. It would definitely be useful to have an automated of making the permalink match the final title so that it doesn’t have to be done manually – that’s an extra step which would be easy to forget.

In reply to: TWENTY-TEN:Adding Dropdown option to comment form on home.phpFor anyone still looking for an answer, I was looking for a way to show / hide comments as well. I found a Show/Hide Commentform plugin and modified it to remove the unidentified encoded image (I’ll send a donation to the guy np, but nothing encoded gets embedded in my site). It works fine, but I also found this link to a StackOverflow solution which looks like a much simpler and easier-to-modify answer. I haven’t tested it, but it’s here for your perusal – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3090267/how-do-i-hide-the-wordpress-comments-form.

In reply to: Possible bug with wp_nav_menuHello Jiraiya! I implemented your solution using a child theme functions.php and it did indeed fix the problem perfectly. Thank you for creating it!

In reply to: How to change font/background color in Twenty Ten themI don’t see that you included this line after the heading comment:
@import url(“../twentyten/style.css”);
It says this is a month old, so hopefully you have found the answer before now 🙂

In reply to: Possible bug with wp_nav_menuHi, I can replicate it anytime. This happens every time with the TwentyTen theme, including today when I (finally) started up my official company site with a fresh installation of 3.1.1. Hence my presence here looking for an answer 🙂
Problem description: The Home page menu works perfectly if you do not select a Front Page (the menu displays all parent pages with all subpages listed in dropdowns). Choose a parent page as the Front page, and suddenly the default menu shows not only top-level pages and their children as dropdowns, but sub-pages with dropdowns, and then it blorfs out and displays a bunch of pages as top links, even when they’re subpages. You can deselect / reselent the Front page and watch the problem disappear / reappear.
Screenshot links:
No front page selected, Site Development menu shown
Site Development parent selected as Front PageI do always have a Maintenance Mode plugin activated to protect the sites while they’re under development, but I’ve disabled and deleted it for those screenshots, so that’s not it. The content today came from an import (I developed it on a local server), so I don’t know if that’s a factor, but WP had no import issues, and when I look at the Pages admin menu, everything looks perfect.
I will try Jiraiya’s solution and post back if it works.

In reply to: get tags for a page using page idHi Smoo. I found this while fishing around for an explanation of $post->ID (does that mean variable $post gets the ID, or does it mean $post assigns its value to ID – can’t find the -> operator explained anywhere).
I do know that pages use post IDs. And you can initialize both the main loop using query_post and other loops using wp_query and set the post ID argument for them and they’ll start from there. So yes, you can generally get any information for any pages that is available in the Loop, and I’m pretty sure that includes tags.

In reply to: Code In PostI found this – http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/
Apparently there’s a new shortcode of some type. No idea if it works on regular WP, needs a plugin, or whatever…Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: P2 moderationDo the WP options work? In the backend, look under Discussion way down on the left side.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: P2 automatically duplicating posts.Still, it shouldn’t duplicate posts, as the update should be finding an empty post.
While I don’t have this problem, I did find that when I hit Reply, my previous post’s content was still in the box. This is probably a symptom of why WP is duplicating the posts when it does an update, but I can’t go any farther than that. Finding a way to clear the post box is on my todo list, but that won’t be for weeks 🙁

In reply to: How to NOT automatically redirect to comment after submit?Apparently there’s a redirect_to function which you can put in your comments-post.php file instead of having to work in a WP core file. A lot of people have reported success with it, but unfortunately it’s not working for me :(. Search for redirect_to and you’ll find plenty of code examples.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Version 3.0 FeaturesHello all. Not a frequent poster as I’ve been off pushing the envelope on other systems. But I’m back to looking at WP / MU as it is now supporting a lot of the features I needed to see happen.
Since this is a request list, let me throw in a couple of wishes, as their lack has been big drawbacks to making things happen with WP.
1. Front end editing with a rich editor.
This is probably the biggest thing you could possibly do to increase the appeal of WP to the general public. While there is a Front End Editor plugin, that author doesn’t want to implement a rich editor as they believe front-end editing shouldn’t have a rich editor. I even once offered to support the effort, but it was a no go. So at this time, all WP authors are still forced into using the backend editor, which is a bad, scary place for someone who doesn’t want to do (or know how to do) anything but post and edit content. Let the poor users stay on the front end and do their thing, and everyone will be much happier with WP.2. “Nice” invites. Provide a feature to allow all roles to invite people to a lesser role (editor can invite someone to author, author invites to subscribe, subscriber invites someone to comment). This would make it much easier for blog authors to build up discussions of topics by inviting other authors to throw in on the subject and for readers to bring their friends over to the discussion.
There’s more, but those are the two biggest “user-side” ones I have personal experience with.

In reply to: multiple css files‘<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/yourcssfilehere.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />’
Took me forever to find it on a third-party site, this is way not obvious from the documentation. I was hung up on working with get_theme_root and all kinds of irrelevant calls for days.
