    I don’t think there should have been any cache as I hadn’t gone to those addresses before activating the plugin, and I also shift-refreshed the pages and it still showed the feed. But who knows. Also, I just updated the plugin, and did not clear my browser cache at all to see the changes, but it instantly worked with no cache issues. (But I understand that’s good general advice.)

    Regardless, with the new update all of the links I mentioned in the op now properly redirect to the site, and it looks like the feeds are fully disabled now.

    Thanks for the fast reply. It’s actually really impressive to get a patch this quickly, so thanks for that!

    Well, it’s not the same title exactly right? My front page will be:
    My Site Name

    and my other pages will be:

    My Site Name – Page 1 Name
    My Site Name – Page 2 name
    My Site Name – A post name
    etc

    That’s the same way (breadcrumbs) it’s done here at wordpress.org. Is that out these days? For example the title of the page we are on is
    “WordPress – Support – How do I hide tagline in the title tag?”

    Are you saying it should be only “How do I hide tagline in the title tag?”

    I’m genuinely interested in clarifying this, because yeah I am interested in SEO. Thanks 🙂

    http://wordpress.org/themes/evolve but, version 2.4.1 (I started working on this website a while ago)

    Well, I still have no idea why it’s doing that, but I worked around the problem like this:

    <title>
    	<?php
    	if (is_front_page())	{
    		bloginfo( 'name' );		}
    	else	{
    		wp_title('-', true);	}
    	?>
    	</title>

    The code <?php wp_title('-', true); ?> is outputting: “My Site Title – My Site Tagline” on the home page.

    On all other pages it outputs “My Site Title – This Page Title”

    This is a complete mystery to me, because I checked the database, I checked through the code, it makes no sense that it’s having this output on the home page 😮

    your-website-root-folder/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/index.php

    I should probably stop ‘helping’ you now though, because I don’t know that much, and I know people will say to use Child Themes and not edit that index.php file :p

    My advice is to start over and find a theme that is as close to what you want as possible, and then try to find some tutorials about customizing a theme. It is a wild guess but I am guessing your approach has been sort of poking and prodding and has a high likelyhood that you have messed something up that you won’t know how to fix. I don’t understand why if you don’t just want a logo splash page, that you have butchered out all the post and footer stuff. Good luck

    Well, I was thinking I would use htaccess mod rewrite to redirect the specific posts to the home page, but then I realized that you can access posts in multiple ways (at minimum, by the pretty permalink And the ?p=123) and probably half a dozen other ways.

    I’d need to know all those ways to cover them all with htaccess, so that suggests that it’s a bad way to try to do it anyway.

    So I got the Safe Redirect Manager plugin, and redirected that way (this way no matter how they get to the post it’s going to redirect to my homepage).

    Then the only other thing I need to do is manually exclude those pages in the robots.txt

    That will be hidden enough for me.

    I’d still like to know if you can Really make a post inaccessible to the world while still being able to display its content using get the excerpt, or if WP just doesn’t do that. I guess it doesn’t.

    What is the error message?

    If you want a splash page with only your logo, and then when you click on that logo it goes to the blog, then what I would do is put your wordpress in a sub folder called blog, and then for the front page don’t use wordpress at all, just a simple html page with the logo.

    Otherwise, you could edit index.php in your theme folder and remove the part that’s showing those home links. (sorry for the vagueness on that)

    They aren’t the exact same image. One has a logo in the corner, and each image is a different size. If you took the exact same jpeg and uploaded it to both sites, then it would be interesting to see if they really do look different?

    Get the web guy to move the wordpress to the root, and turn on nice permalinks while he is at it.

    Thanks that helped a lot.

    For anyone looking to do a similar thing, I’ve made it so my front page only shows posts from a single category, and then, in each of the posts in that category (only 3 in my case) I have a custom field called link, which contains the relative url of the page I want the excerpt title to link to, like this:

    $customtitlelink = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), “link”, true );
    ?>
    <h1 class=”entry-title fl-l”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”>

    I guess I solved it. I just had to delete the feeds.php file in the forum-server plugin folder.

    There is apparently a bug in the plugin’s code.

    In wpf.class.php on line 386 they have the code

    return $this->thread_link.$id.".$this->curr_page";

    $this->curr_page refers to the current page of the *Forum* not the thread. But what you actually want there is the number of the page of the *Thread* you want. So on the first page of the forums, all the links to the threads work fine – because all the threads have a first page of course.

    But on the second page of the forum, the only thread links that won’t be broken are threads that are at least 2 pages long, and so on. And even then, you will click the link expecting to go to the first page of the thread, but it will take you to the 2nd page.

    So that line of code needs to be changed to

    return $this->thread_link.$id.".0";

    The 0 means the 0th page, ie: the first page of the thread.

    I ended up using this one:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-permissions/

    Seems to do the trick.

    Yeah, apparently this can’t be done without a hack. But it can be done with one 🙂 I figured out how to do it here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-a-menu-item-from-regular-users?replies=4

    (ie: figmentthinking told me how to do it)

    In summary, you make 2 different menus, and then use the code if(current_user_can(edit_posts)) to decide which one to display.
