Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Display CategoryIf you just want to display the contents of that category, and you have some kind of permalink structure set up, it can be easily accomplished by just adding the category name as a directory instead of where the individual post url goes (so for example http://example.com/index.php/category/).
If you want to actually make this new directory look different, you’ll need to alter the theme, with which I cannot help you.
If you haven’t got any permalinks set up, you can check out this introduction, which has a link to instructions on setting it up under WordPress.

In reply to: Slash added at end of linksD’oh, apologies for not reading properly.
First of all, the .htaccess file should be in the blog directory.
I think using the default means you don’t need any rewrite rules, so open up your .htaccess and remove everything between
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>and</IfModule>inclusive. If that’s all there is in the file you can remove it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Invalid URL, Google saysYeah, just realised the forum strips out all the https and wwws.
Hmm, one problem I had was with a difference between the xml and xml.gz versions of the sitemap. Have you tried switching between them at all? Not sure if this will help you but it’s worth a try.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving Sites: Database Query (Japanese characters)I’ve just found this thread, which at first doesn’t look too promising. After a quick bit of research though, it looks like there are a few types of character encoding.
In theory, if you use the same character encoding on your new site as on your current one, all should turn out fine. If it doesn’t, you may have to do some tweaking, by using XHTML’s ability to set language and character encoding for individual tags.
My best guess for accomplishing this would be to use the Gengo plugin, making sure to set a character set for those posts in Japanese. You can read up on how to do this over here.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Slash added at end of linksIf you go into your permalinks options there should be a box at the very bottom showing what .htaccess should look like at the moment. And yes, .htaccess goes into the root.
Other thing to check is your permalink structure – if you can get away with it using one without index.php is far more search-engine friendly (your visitors will like it too), but if not, try the default option.

In reply to: Rich editor html popup emptyForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: HTML editor doesn’t workOff the top of my head, there are three obvious things that could be doing it:
- Adblock extension
- NoScript extension
- Your JavaScript settings
The first two you can check for in Tools|Extensions (not alphabetical), and the second you can change in Tools|Options|Content. There is an “Enable Javascript” checkbox as well as and “Advanced” button. Make sure to check that all the Advanced options are Enabled.
If that works, you can re-disable those little JS niggles one by one and keep checking to make sure the HTML box hasn’t broken.
I had something even odder, where the box kept shrinking, but I gave up on it and abandoned the WYSIWYG editor 🙂
edit: just so you know, Firefox practically doesn’t use the registry at all (only for assosciations and the start menu). It stores all your settings in a profile, which is located at:
[system drive]:\Documents and Settings\[your username]Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Default.[garbage]\Try changing your JS settings first, and if that fails, delete the whole of the Profiles folder and reinstall Firefox.
P.S. This will destroy your bookmarks! If you want you can copy out the bookmarks.html file in your profile, and copy it back when done.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Accessibility of Search Box.Stealing from the old Classic theme, I have this:
<li id="search">
<label for="s">Search:</label>
<form id="searchform" method="get" action="/index.php">
<div>
<input type="text" name="s" id="s" size="15" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: chmod 2777I’m not allowed to bump, so I’ll make this a
:¦:stealth bump:¦:
Err, has anybody tried this? I’m still having no luck with it (closest I’ve got is letting wordpress create its own files, thereby becoming the owner, but this doesn’t work for most things like, say, .htaccess).

In reply to: 2.02 adding <br> tags to <li> and <ul> tags ?You might want to check your plugins as well. Textile 2 always seemed to do this to me if I didn’t use the built-in method of producing lists.

In reply to: I can’t connectI can get through fine. There might be a routing issue to the hosting server with your ISP – you might want to contact them if you still can’t connect within another few hours.

In reply to: WordPress Steals 404I’m also interested in this one.
Would it not be possible to write a plugin/hack that forces wordpress to retreive a nonexistant file every time index.php is fed an incorrect URL? So if I access example.com/category/doesnotexist wordpress secretly requests nonexistant.html from the server? Or would this give the same problem…
edit @ sc567: That’s a good idea, I’ll try that in a second or two.

In reply to: Invalid URL, Google saysAFAIK you have to include the http:// with each of your URLs. I’m not sure why the plugin isn’t producing them though, since it’s working fine for me.

In reply to: How Do I fix my Archive LinksDid you try updating the .htaccess file manually? If you set it so it is not writable, WordPress will give you a list of code to paste into the file.
Failing that, if you’re not too bothered about the permalink structure, you can flick to the permalink options and change the structure to something like /index.php?2006/04
Just to prove it works 🙂Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Posts are displayed under sidebarI had exactly the same problem doing the same thing to my site. Have you added up all your margin and padding values and added them to the various widths? I’m getting the total width to be exactly 760 px, so you might as a test want to increase it slightly up to 765, to check if it’s the widths that are doing it.
