In reply to: Post categories linked to menu itemsHi Ray,
Do you have a link you can provide to the category page?
When you added the category pages to your menu, did you select Pages (that you created from your Dashboard > Pages), or did you select Categories from the box on the left of the screen (hopefully this screenshot link works for you) under Appearance > Menus? It sounds like you selected from the Pages section instead of Categories.
If you select categories from the “Categories” dropdown rather than a page you created, those will hook into the categories in the posts.
Does this make sense?

In reply to: Add a subdirectory install to site with root installThis is absolutely possible. Follow this guide carefully to move the root install to a subdirectory:
A couple important steps to reiterate here:
5. Click Save Changes. (Do not worry about the error message and do not try to see your blog at this point! You will probably get a message about file not found.)
7. Copy (NOT MOVE!) the index.php and .htaccess files from the WordPress directory into the root directory of your site
Hope this helps!

In reply to: Plugin advice – need something like linkedInIt sounds like you’re looking for BuddyPress. It’s essentially a social network built on WordPress.
It has most of what you’re looking for out of the box: custom profile fields, friend connections, private messages, etc. And you can extend it with plugins to allow for photo uploading and sharing.

In reply to: What is the disadvantage of buy wordpress templates?Buying WordPress themes doesn’t necessarily have any disadvantages over a custom theme as long as the purchased theme does everything you need it to do. One isn’t better or worse than the other.
If you realize you need some kind of functionality or special page templates that the theme doesn’t provide you’ll have to either modify a theme to add what you want, or create a new theme from scratch. The advantages of a custom theme vary from site to site and is really dependent on what your needs are for the site. If you want a completely unique look to your site then a custom theme is what you need.
It sounds like the theme you bought is working fine for your site, so I’d say stick with that.

In reply to: Post categories linked to menu itemsIt sounds like the menu items are category pages, is this right? For example, the page linked to the menu item is something like
domain.com/category/my_category/. You can also check if the menu items are category pages by visiting Appearance > Menus, and it will say “Category” on the right side of the menu item. Check out this screenshot to see what I meanIf this is the menu structure you have, then connecting posts to one of those pages is just a matter of choosing the right category for your posts.
- Go to Posts in your Dashboard
- Click “Quick Edit” in the list of links that appears when you hover over the post
- Select the appropriate category
- Click “Update” to save
When you visit the category page, that post should now show up.

In reply to: Can’t find my RSS feed linkTry adding this bit of code in the header between the
<head>tags for the RSS 2.0 feed.<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />If that doesn’t work, try a direct link based on your website as posted by RVoodoo. In the above code replace
<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>withhttp://www.yourwebsite.com/?feed=rss2I was having the same problem earlier and adding this line of code worked.

In reply to: Contact Form 7: Redirect to a Thank You pagenow in function ajax_json_echo in wp-contact-form-7.php
You need to define a $result_page variable which defines the actual url of the result pageCan anyone give me information about how to do this, or tell me where I can find it? I’ve been searching for a while now and don’t really know the specific phrasing to get a tutorial or anything. I understand what must be done, but I can’t find any information on how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
