Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Installed locally but can’t import databases or themes?Hmm.. I managed to fix this one myself. Sorry for the false alarm!
For those of you who might come across this later on and be curious of how, it was quite simple. Go into your WordPress folder, select the wp-content folder and press cmd+i for Get Info. Then, at the end of the info window, change the permissions for “Everyone” to “Read+Write” then apply it to all enclosed items.
That did it for me. The permissions might be a bit over the top but it makes it work so that’s all that matters.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Two blogs with different themes but the same Loop?Thanks, I did just that and was able to get it to work. Thanks for the advice!

In reply to: Embedding and RSS feed from WordPress into a an XHTML pageThanks for the link, it’s helped me get a little closer. The mini-loop is getting towards what I’m looking to do, but I’m unsure how to customise aspects of it since my knowledge of PHP is virtually non-existent.
I’ve gotten this far:
http://www.dougstewartdesign.com/news.phpWhere it shows the titles for the posts, but not the articles themselves, which is what I would like in the end result.
Do you know of another linked tutorial that would help or would it be better for me just to find a RSS import/reader module?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Embedding and RSS feed from WordPress into a an XHTML pageEssentially, what I hope to do is take the feed from my WordPress blog and post it on my website via an iframe, something like this:
http://www.peepshow.org.uk/
(don’t worry, it’s really a design collective)And I know I can use an iframe tag in HTML to basically put a one page into another and I figured I could put the 10 latest entries from the RSS feed directly into the page that way since I don’t know of another.
I figure something like this would be much easier than building an entire CMS and database system completely from scratch to fit my needs since WordPress seems to already be able to do exactly what I want minus this one ability.

In reply to: Embedding and RSS feed from WordPress into a an XHTML pageOK so yeah feeling like an idiot… Can you tell I’m completely self-taught? Haha!
The problem is that the information is still shown with that title and extra navigation on the right when I use an iFrame to place the content on an normal HTML page. I don’t suppose you can suggest anything as a work-around or another way I could do this?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Embedding and RSS feed from WordPress into a an XHTML pageI’m not sure. This is what I see when I view the link from my original post (feed://dougstewartdesign.com/blog/?feed=rss2):

It’s a bit different from that when I view it in FireFox but it is still giving me elements I don’t want. Any ideas?
