Will play with it. * Thanks! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Why not open and close html/body in index.php file](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-not-open-and-close-and-in-indexphp/) * [drummonds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummonds/) * (@drummonds) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-not-open-and-close-and-in-indexphp/#post-4561469) * I’m stumbling across this thread months after it went stale. But I completely agree, colinacronin! Its crazy to me that one file would include an opening tag and another file would include a closing tag. * For readability, reusability, and consistency with other (non-Wordpress) development styles, source files should be as self-contained as possible. Putting the html tags in index.php would result in no extra code but would produce the benefit of showing the context over which that file operates. It also assists with self- documents of the files’s purpose. * But I have noticed the first few themes I have inspected all follow this strange rule of spreading tags across files. Did anyone ever find a reason explaining why WordPress developers have chosen to break tag opening/closing across multiple files? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Webpage Title Missing Space](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webpage-title-missing-space/) * Thread Starter [drummonds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummonds/) * (@drummonds) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webpage-title-missing-space/#post-3928373) * This appears to be a Yoast issue on autodetecting forced title rewrites. I think I have it fixed now. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Add Media Problem On WP 3.5 from Android/Chrome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-media-problem-on-wp-35-from-androidchrome/) * Thread Starter [drummonds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummonds/) * (@drummonds) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-media-problem-on-wp-35-from-androidchrome/#post-3336867) * I’m glad you bounced this up again.

I spent the last 20 minutes inspecting the documentation at all four links you provided but I’m afraid that it was either impractical or too detailed for me to understand. * How about this: can you (or anyone) name the PHP functions that I should use to query topics by category? How can I get the topics’ dates? This little bit of info should enable me to write my own PHP to solve my problem. * Thanks, Scott * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Trackback questions](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackback-questions/) * Thread Starter [drummonds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummonds/) * (@drummonds) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trackback-questions/#post-132817) * Thanks for the offer, but I’m not sure what that would accomplish. If I saw the same behavior on your site, I still wouldn’t know if what it is doing is correct or not. If it behaved differently, the issue could be do to many more factors than I can comprehend. * To any kind souls out there, I guess my post boils down to the following question: why would a trackback from article ‘B’ to article ‘A’ show up in article ‘C”s trackback list? Article C’s trackback URI is listed _nowhere_ in article B. * Scott * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [CVS Access](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cvs-access/) * Thread Starter [drummonds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drummonds/) * (@drummonds) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cvs-access/#post-130390) * Thanks to all!
