In reply to: How to format text with HTML?So if I wanted to redefine
<p>in my stylesheet, I would NOT have to do this in the wp-html post box:<div class="grey-text">
<p>text goes here</p>
<p>text goes here</p>
<div>but rather, simply:
<div class="grey-text">
text goes heretext goes here
</div>Is this correct?
The style sheet might look something like this:
.grey-text {
color:#999999;
text-indent:-12px;
margin-left:12px;
}.grey-text p {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}Aside from
<p>,<br>, single and double quotes, is there anything else that the wp-html editor converts automatically?Thanks.

In reply to: sending referer problem with moved blogThanks! That helped.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: sending referer problem with moved blogYes, but the probelm is WP is not letting me change this – when I click ‘Update Options’ button on optioins-general.php I get redirected to the login page of the old server. What is causing this redirect? How to disable?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Why does Manage Tab redirect to old server after restore?Yes, I suppose i could try that. But I will, eventually, figure out how to disable that ‘send referer’ bug. I think it has something to do with admin.php. There is not a lot of WP documentation on this.

In reply to: How to remove embedded sytles from header?Thanks for the reply.
So, to get around the issue of the PHP code having an if-else statement to decide which #page background to use (differnt for single), I assume you would modify the single.php file and update all the div tags to use the appropriate style directives? Is this correct?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Why does Manage Tab redirect to old server after restore?Yes, after some research, that is my guess as well.
But, every time I click “Update Options” after changing the URI, I get this:
Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work.and the change does not stick.
There must be some way to temporarily disable this ‘sending referer’ security feature in WP so I can fix this.
Any ideas?

In reply to: HUGE PROBLEM – Please Help – I lost it all!This may be a bit OT, but in regard to backups:
I noticed a couple of large fields in the table wp_options when backing up – the field names look like this:
rss_0ff4b43bd116a9d....Looks like content for the Dashboard or something.
How can I prevent this data from sneaking into my wp-options table?
How do I delete it?
Thanks in advance.

In reply to: WordPress not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional??But – I am using the default theme – one would think this would pass…

In reply to: WordPress not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional??So, apparently, it doesn’t matter. I suppose if I want my blog to be read by machines it would help to have valid xhtml. But I see little advantage in that…

In reply to: Why aren’t changes to php files reflected immediately on my site?I had this same problem. In a word, it’s cache.
Try adding this line to your wp-config file:
define('DISABLE_CACHE', true);This line, IMHO, should be there by default, prefaced with the following comment:
When cache is ENABLED, updates to theme source files are not immediately displayed. This can result in errors, frustration and confusion while attempting to customizing a theme. Keep cache DISABLED until you are finished any customization work. To ENABLE cache, comment out this line.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to remove embedded sytles from header?Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it appears that I cannot remove ALL embedded styling from header.php.
WP version = 2.0.2; Theme = default
Here’s what I WAS able to remove from header.php (consolidated into the main stylesheet, style.css).
#body { background: ...
#header { background: ...
#footer { background: ...This was accomplished by moving the images and updating stylesheet.
Here’s what remains (the entire file):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
<?php if ((! $withcomments) && (! is_single())) { ?>
#page { background: url("/images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
<?php } else { ?>
#page { background: url("/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
<?php } ?>
#header { margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 1px; padding: 1px; height: 198px; width: 758px; }
#headerimg { margin: -10px 9px 0; height: 192px; width: 740px; }
</style><?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<div id="page"><div id="header">
<div id="headerimg">
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
<hr />As you can see, the
#page,#headerand#headerimgdirectives remain.The PHP code has an if-else statement to decide which #page background to use (differnt for single). So I assume there is no way to move this to the stylesheet.
But what about #header and #headerimg?
Can safely move these to the stylesheet? What’s with the “!important” directive? Will I need this in the stylesheet?
Thanks.

In reply to: How to remove embedded sytles from header?There is another stylesheet in the wp-admin directory:
wp-admin.cssWhat is this used for? Is it necessary? Can this be consolidated in the content stylesheet?
thx…
