Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Virus problem in wordpress blogI can’t imagine this happening on a brand-new installation of WordPress. My guess is that your computer is infected with something. Have you run a virus-checker on your computer recently? Malware? I’d recommend running your anti-virus program first and see if it catches anything, and then run something like “Spybot Search & Destory” and/or “Hijack This!” to see what they pick up.
if it doesn’t pick up anything, I’d contact your host and see what they have to say about it.

In reply to: Permalinks and .htaccessChange your .htaccess file permissions to 777. Go to Settings>Permalinks and choose what permalink types you want. once you’ve done it, save your changes. Then set your .htaccess file permissions back to 644.
That’s pretty much it.

In reply to: Will WP work for a directory style site?In short, yes.
With a bit of elaboration, WP already does a lot of the necessary stuff out-of-the-box. Some stuff can use custom coding to pull off, while others need plugins to work. It depends on your needs as to which you should use. But in the end, absolutely.
Use conditional comments – basically writing a separate stylesheet for IE, and serving it up to IE only. They are very useful, and it’s recommended that you start with IE8 and work your way down.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: different default category to different usersThe only plugin I know of that does this is “bind user to category.” You don’t say what results you didn’t expect, but I can say from experience that it only allows the author to write to the category in which you name, but it doesn’t restrict them from seeing anyone else’s stuff. They can’t *edit* it, but they can see it.
Of course, I also used this plugin with Role Scoper – which allowed me to set it so that people could only edit their own posts – again it doesn’t prevent them from seeing others’ posts, but they can’t edit or publish them. But other than that, it works fine.

In reply to: What theme is this?This has nothing to do with what theme you’re using – it’s what you put in your WordPress settings.

In reply to: joomla as same as wordpress or as powerfull for seo?I would say so. The method you use to create and publish your site really doesn’t have much to do with SEO (unless it doesn’t provide any SEO help at all – but I can’t think of any that outright *harm* it). it’s how you use it. WordPress and Joomla (as well as CMSMS, ModX, Magento, ZenCart, you name it) are just publishing platforms – they are tools. Find the tool you like to use, and use it well, and you’ll do fine. Use it incorrectly and *you* are the one who killed it, not the publishing platform you’ve chosen.

In reply to: If at least 1 comment posted (if have-comments)You could probably do custom piece of code to check if the post has any comments – I’ve been sick so my head is full of stuff that won’t help you with WordPress much LOL but I’ll *try* to come up with something off the top of my head that doesn’t sound like it came form a NyQuil-induced haze 🙂
You might be able to look at the comments_popup_link function (in wp-includes/comment-template.php) and get some ideas on how to test for this. Maybe something like this will work:
$number = get_comments_number($id); if($number == 0) { echo 'stuff if there's no comments'; } else { echo 'stuff is there are comments'; }Maybe?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: If at least 1 comment posted (if have-comments)That’s because if(have_comments()) works within the comment loop, which is included in the single.php file.
are you trying to output an image or something for the comment post link? if so you can just write a bit of code to plop in the HTML or image into the regular comments_popup_link, since it already tests for what you’re seeking.
<?php $html1 = 'some html here for no comments'; $html2 = 'some html for one comment'; $html3 = 'csome html for more than one comment'; comments_popup_link($html1 . 'No Comments', $html2 . '1 Comment', $html3 . '% Comments'); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changing style without CSSThis isn’t a WordPress site. If it is, you’re totally missing out on how to use it, because I don’t see WordPress being used in that page at all.
If you *are* using WordPress, you might want to read up on some things:

In reply to: joomla as same as wordpress or as powerfull for seo?neither one or the other is more powerful for SEO. They are about the same. You use ’em right, and you’re going to be fine in SEO eyes.
What you *should* be looking for is what you want to do, and how you want to use it. Both Joomla and WordPress – when compared with each other – have their pros and cons.
For my clients, more often than not, I choose WordPress because it’s easier to customize, the back end is easier to figure out and use, and you can do just about anythig with it. Joomla is a bit harder to “get”, both from a customization standpoint and an end user standpoint BUT it’s a bit more powerful than WordPress (since it comes with mods ready to install that are for shopping carts, membership area, forums, etc.)
If your site is just needing a CMS that makes it easy to maintain content, WordPress should be your choice. If you’re looking for a huge system that can do carts, memberships, forums, and all kind of other add-ons, then you might want Joomla.
But from an SEO standpoint, neither one holds anything over the other.
