In reply to: dynamic sidebar QIf i understand you, i think you’ve gotten lost somewhere, so excuse this if i’ve miss understood:
the ‘dynamic sidebar’ bit in your sidebar is telling that sidebar to use widgets, which are defined on your presentation tab in the admin screen, once you have a widget added and saved, this then appears in your sidebar on your site.
If you look at the source of your page now, this widget you added will have some XHTML mark up, such as
<ul>s and<li>s for an unordered list. You can now style your sidebar using these tags in your CSS, they will probably be prefixed by something with ‘widget’ in the XHTML class.In terms of hiding sub pages until their parents have been clicked on, look at using a plugin, this makes things much easier, and you dont need to remember your changes that you made to the core code when you upgrade.
check out these two pages
http://www.webspaceworks.com/resources/wordpress/30/ – for the plugin itself
http://www.webspaceworks.com/resources/wordpress/67/ – and for info on using it with widgetshope this helps

In reply to: No registration password email?i have just written a plugin to define the emails sent to user and admin on registration, and you can put the password in the admin email if you want to so you cvan tell users what it is if they dont get it, but it is still using the normal wordpress email functions, so if that was your problem, then this wont help.

In reply to: Custom Pages menu placementto exclude them from the vertical menu, use the exclude parameter in wp_list_pages, and find their IDs on the manage pages screen. so for example
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&exclude=1,2'); ?>where 1 and 2 are your IDsyou can do the same for your other menu, but instead of listing loads of excludes, use include instead.
make sure your css for the horizontal menu has the display:inline tag, otherwise it wont be horizontal!

In reply to: Replacing a function in pluggable.phpan update, i have narrowed down the error to this line –
wp_mail($user_email, $emailOptions('newuseremailsubject'), get_option('blogname')), $message);and so i replaced it with the default
wp_mail($user_email, sprintf(__('[%s] Welcome to my test blog'), get_option('blogname')), $message);this allowed the plugin to be enabled, but when i register a new user, the new text i defined isnt being used, but it is in the options database.
is there something else i need to do to get this function to work? can it not be independent?

In reply to: Notification Email Formattingif you are still looking, this is all contained in pluggable.php in wp-includes
search for ‘wordpress’ in that file and change the two that have an @ after them
for the text, look for this: wp_new_user_notification
the message is set under thereForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Anyway to add text before and after post…could you not just alter the single.php file so its always there. this’d only work though if you were putting it on EVERY post.
