For benefit of those looking, this one does work with Enfold [https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-post-list-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-post-list-widget/) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [multiple categories – can I make one of them 'blog'?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-vs-multiple-categories/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-vs-multiple-categories/#post-5838762) * Thanks Greg. I think I am gradually working in that direction. * Let me try to clarify my question. For the last few years my only experience of WP has been running a WP blog within an html site at domain.com/blog. I am now exploring the world of an all-WP site. It seems to me that in WP, ‘blog’ has a special status. Or maybe I’m talking more about this theme I’ve bought, Enfold? For example, one of the first questions that the Enfold system asks you is ‘where should the blog be displayed?’ * My position is this. I’d like to treat ‘blog’ as just one of my categories. So I update several categories with posts, hypothetically: domain.com/food/postname domain.com/science/postname domain.com/blog/postname * Now it seems that in some sense **all** posts are ‘blog posts’, and that the posts about ‘food’ and ‘science’ constitute ‘blogging’, but I nonetheless want to reserve domain.com/blog for the posts I’ve been posting to the WP blog in my html site (and which I will continue to add to). The reason is that I’d like to preserve the URLs of those existing posts, ie domain.com/blog/postname. These posts are quite lengthy articles and some of them have been referred to in Wikipedia articles and published books. * I apologize for droning on at such length, but I’m trying to anticipate if there is a danger in simply treating ‘blog’ as a category like others. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Change html site with WP blog to all-WP site?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-html-site-with-wp-blog-to-all-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-html-site-with-wp-blog-to-all-wp-site/#post-5805397) * Thanks James. I wanted to play around with the site before making it ‘live’, so I installed WP again at new.domain.com. Hopefully when I move this to domain. com, I will be able to have the existing blog still work. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [multiple categories – can I make one of them 'blog'?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-vs-multiple-categories/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-vs-multiple-categories/#post-5838719) * > My question is this: is it possible and/or sensible to name one of my categories‘ > blog’? * Will this cause problems? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [integrate WP blog on html site into new WP site?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-wp-blog-on-html-site-into-new-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-wp-blog-on-html-site-into-new-wp-site/#post-5814682) * I don’t _think_ I imported the media. I mean, they show up, but they aren’t in the new WP media pane. I think they show up because the posts contain the URLs of the media in the older WP install, which is still active. * I installed a Featured Image Exporter plugin in the older WP and exported an xml file. But I can’t import them into the newer WP. Any ideas, short of importing them by hand? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [integrate WP blog on html site into new WP site?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-wp-blog-on-html-site-into-new-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-wp-blog-on-html-site-into-new-wp-site/#post-5814453) * Thanks. I’ve exported my old posts and imported them to the new.domain.com install, and they actually show up with their embedded media — even though those seem to be still living where they were, ie not duplicated. (If they’ve been copied to the new WP, I don’t know where to find them.) However the ‘featured images’ are now missing. Does that mean I have to import them all over again to the new WP? * Re your suggestion for a ‘page’ named ‘blog’, do you mean a ‘category’ named ‘ blog’? I’ve set the permalinks on the new WP to domain.com/category/postname, and I’ve allocated my imported old posts to the category ‘blog’, so they now show up as new.domain.com/blog/postname. I’m hoping that when I finally ‘remove’ the ‘new.’ from the subdomain (= the new WP install becomes domain.com), then facebook will recognize the URLs and maintain the likes. * When that happens, can I delete the old WP? I think these 2 installs are taking me way over my space allowance on my host. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [integrate WP blog on html site into new WP site?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-wp-blog-on-html-site-into-new-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/integrate-wp-blog-on-html-site-into-new-wp-site/#post-5814381) * Thanks for replying.

Do you really mean deactivate all the others? I’ve been hacked twice and don’t want to deactivate my spam blockers. * Also, what do you mean by “page editor”? * I deleted a plugin called MediaElement.js (I can’t remember why I installed it), which seems to have got rid of the annoying volume slider being placed below the player. But the player is still too wide, and still has space before it but not after. Any other ideas for making it look better? * Does anyone else add mp3s to posts by just putting the URL on a line, and have them show up looking nice? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Playing sounds on clicking within image – upgrading to html5?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/playing-sounds-on-clicking-within-image-upgrading-to-html5/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/playing-sounds-on-clicking-within-image-upgrading-to-html5/#post-3726038) * I found the solution in this self-answer by ergo: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14596082/innerhtml-causes-unwanted-scroll-in-chrome](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14596082/innerhtml-causes-unwanted-scroll-in-chrome) * The first of my bits of code should be replaced with: * ``` ``` * etc. * The second bit should be replaced with: * ``` ``` * etc. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Facebook counter reset to zero by showing comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-counter-reset-to-zero-by-showing-comments/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-counter-reset-to-zero-by-showing-comments/#post-3623644) * > I have no idea why that site provides such information * I’m talking about the WordPress dashboard.

Where does the show and hide comments jQuery go, inside the single.php file? I tried to use it and it removed the show/hide links, so that comments were displayed all the time. * 2. I don’t understand your instruction to ‘wrap the comments tag’. Where does that code go? What does it do? * 3. What is meant to happen when users follow links to comments? On my blog, these links don’t work: users are taken to the bottom of the post, with no comments shown, e.g. englishspeechservices.com/blog/?p=5359#comment-13530 * (4. I have another problem that when users follow comment links, my facebook like counter appears as zero. I’ve no idea why.) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Facebook counter reset to zero by showing comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-counter-reset-to-zero-by-showing-comments/) * Thread Starter [deadpeasant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deadpeasant/) * (@deadpeasant) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-counter-reset-to-zero-by-showing-comments/#post-3623544) * 1. I don’t know what you mean when you say I’m not using permalinks. Each of my posts is given a permalink by WordPress. For example, when editing my latest post, WP tells me “Permalink: [http://englishspeechservices.com/blog/?p=5359”](http://englishspeechservices.com/blog/?p=5359”); * 2. I know that comments are not counted as likes by FB. I don’t understand the relevance of your remark. * 3.

I followed antonel1’s recipe and it worked for me. The only reason I’m replying is because I wanted to take Jan’s advice about jquery but the link was too tech-y for me to understand, so I just stuck to antonel1’s method.
