Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Author Page ProblemsOkay, so I sort of fixed my own problem… for some reason, when I tried to use my initial admin account as the author, despite the username being just one word, it wouldn’t print out the right page. So I just created a new user account and will use that for all posting and what not (assigning it admin helps) and it outputs the correct author file.
Figured I would put an update here in case someone else has a problem similar to mine.

In reply to: Author Page ProblemsHello all,
I will revive this thread because I am having a problem linking to my author page.
Here is the situation, I have an author page and I can call up the page with no problem if i type the link in manually as ‘/?author=1’.
However, if i click a link that is generated EITHER via wp_list_authors or the_author_posts_link it produces a malformed URL that looks like this: http://disembodied.us/author/Marcus Schultz-Bergin
And of course the link doesn’t work… Everything I have seen has said the link should be something like ../archives/author/name, but of course mine isn’t and moreover no matter what I change ‘nickname’ it still produces ‘Marcus Schultz-Bergin’ rather then one word or something else.So, is there a way to just have it call the page (dynamically) via the author id or a way to get it to output the link correctly?
Thanks,

In reply to: Banner is being cropped…You do need to validate your code before anything else… even if you don’t understand how your 28 errors in your page could cause the cut off, fix it, because invalid code can cause all kinds of weird problems.
As for the masthead specifically, I see it as you are using #masthead with the background for your banner that is being cut off. You need to fix the masthead div so that the left and right margins are 0 and set the padding for the left and right to 0.
Good luck,

In reply to: How Do I Remove Category Bullets?You don’t have your list set up correctly… it displays with just the li code and I do not see a ul code anywhere!… validate your HTML, actually fix all the problems first because I tried to validate and was told it couldn’t because of non utf-8 code (it couldn’t interpret the code even as invalid) … fix that stuff first and make sure your list is in full form, it should look like this:
<ul><li>Stuff Here</li></ul>Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: IE7 has screwed up my SidebarThis may not fix your problem, but validate your page. you had like 38 errors in your html document and because of that I can’t even try to validate your CSS document.
I notice in the CSS code, though, that you put ‘list-style-type’ to none but yet you get circles in FF… just fix your html and (maybe) CSS first and then we can see where to go from there.Good luck,

In reply to: Dynamic Menu Highlighting with subcategoriesWell I found a way to do this on another post:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/32422
using the is_child plugin to then use an is_child function is the cleanest, easiest way to do this it seems. And get has the added benefit of working for single pages without using the single page function.

In reply to: is_child() functionality?I just thought I would bump this because I posted a topic elsewhere about an easy way to get subcategories to highlight its parent category’s tab… this is perfect, it gets the category highlighted when it is a page in that category, a page in a subcategory of that category, or the archive of that subcategory.
Thanks a lot for this plugin!
