Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: blank pagesHave you emailed Lycos to make sure everything is ok their end? Seems strange that these blank pages appear about a couple of days.
I’m not too sure otherwise..
Try deleting all plugins from your plugin directory incase one is conflicting.
Oh and try using the default theme, make it the only one available etc.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Posting is Slow…..I just removed pingomatic and now I can post at high speed. It seems pingomatic is a touch slow.. If you’re suffering from slow posting then, as podz said, remove pingomatic at the least. Good rule is to avoid long lists of pings.

In reply to: Review of ulblog.org?Your sidebar renders fine in IE for me by the way. It may be an older version of IE that chaaban was using? Either way, looks good mate. 🙂

In reply to: Posting is Slow…..I found posting was slowed down enormously by my ping list. I’d say avoid a very long ping list unless someone knows a work around?

In reply to: add a search box to a simple templateWell I don’t think you can add it without adding something to your code. In Kubrick, the search box code is:
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>Just include that in your template where you want your search bar. You can surround it with list tags etc as well to keep it organised and inline with other content.

In reply to: Blog Frog – public group bloggingI just changed the theme on Blog Frog. Still ironing out a few aesthetical changes but otherwise I like it. I used the Sqible theme. Highly recommended theme I must add.

In reply to: Lots of cats – problems?There is a wiki plugin for WordPress somewhere, may be worth a look at?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Lots of cats – problems?I can’t help but think WordPress isn’t the best way to build a database of films? I don’t know, I feel a wiki of some sort may work better? I mean purely due to the sheer size of blog you are proposing..
Anyone else agree/disagree?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do i stream an AVI file in a post?If you upload your videos to youtube, you’ll notice they give you a bit of code to have an embeddable player. That’s the code you’d want to use, just make sure you put the code within the HTML view, not the WYSIWYG view.

In reply to: Lots of cats – problems?I’d say tagging sounds the wiser option, 4000 categories sounds like more bother than it’s ever worth. Plus the physical size of the list would be huge. I recommend Ultimate Tag Warrior that lets you tag posts and features things such as tag clouds and as you said, a page per tag that lists all posts that contain that tag. You can check that plugin out at:

And you can see the plugin in action on my blog: http://www.blogfrog.co.ukHope that helps 🙂

In reply to: Here is my owned skinned wordpressI like it, but I think it would look better with the adverts underneath your “Sites” panel rather than at the top.

In reply to: Blog Frog – public group bloggingI have added a BBpress forum to blog frog and it shares the user login table with a wordpress 2.0 install. You can see it at http://www.blogfrog.co.uk/forum/
That is just to confirm you can do it with 2.0 with no problems what so ever, it was seamless.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Stopping users selecting certain categoriesThanks for the link. As well as probably not working with 2.0, I looked and it works on telling which categories should be allowed rather than saying which ones shouldn’t be allowed which is a problem for me because we have a lot of categories and I intend to add more quite often.. I’ll keep my eye on it.
Thanks!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Calling all posts from one categoryThanks SO much for the help, I have got it working now! It was what you suggested, I didn’t realise!
Thanks again!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Calling all posts from one categoryI had another look and I got:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=Site-news&showposts=10'); ?><?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<!-- Do special_cat stuff... -->
<?php endwhile; ?>I do this and nothing happens, it seemingly just ignores the code. What have a I done wrong? Also, the category is called “Site news” – how should I express that space? I have tried underscores, hypens, %20 but none made a difference to a bit of clarifcation on that would help too.
Thanks for the help so far 🙂
