In reply to: Database error after installok
one is it worth running 2.1? i could just uninstall and go with an earlier version of wordpress if that sorts it… i only downloaded 2.1 as im just starting to use for first time…
where is the update info? i put ‘update 2.1’ in the search but nothing there seemed what i wanted to know.
i think its this bit of code causing the problem
<?php
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
?>thanks

In reply to: wordpress as cmsim looking for more of a easy to understand tutorial really. i know php and have read all the wordpress docs time and again but cannot get the loop to appear on any other page whether i code in index.php or page.php
someone must have achieved it, i can easily use it as a CMS by just using pages OR a blog (posts) but cant seem to get both working on same system.
im trying to get the posts from the home page into a separate page now, ie url/blog and have a static home page like a normal website.
maybe pages are the wrong way to go, and categories may need to be my main links?

In reply to: Don’t understand Flickr Badgehi,
you go to http://www.flickr.com and open an account. once you have uploaded photos you can create a ‘badge’ in a variety of styles and the code is created for you to put on your page.
a possible use is to then put this javascript code within your sidebar to show the chosen photos.

In reply to: wordpress as cmsok thanks,
i read more on the loop and saw examples like this in addition to posting from a featured category, but hoped to get the ‘basic’ loop working before tinkering with more advanced variations.
will try your approach anyway.
im still using the static page plugin, i may try the other method of using the is_home tag in index.php to recognise my home page and also check for my blog page before doing the basic loop rather than coding in a separate template file. that may create what im trying to do…

In reply to: wordpress as cmshi,
i had a go at creating a blog.php template with the loop copied from index.php (ie the standard posts loop) but my page created from this only contains a link that links to itself, no posts at all.any ideas what i have done wrong?
clicking on category or archive links work fine, posts show correctly from these areas, but just do not display within my blog page.

In reply to: wordpress as cmsthanks, i think you have solved it for me with the use of templates… so i presume i could create a blog.php template with the standard loop within it and build my blog ‘home’ page from that?
i am more familiar with the sidebar links and have managed to use conditional tags to get various different sidebars / links for different pages.
will read up on loops and templates a bit more then have another go later…

In reply to: wordpress as cmsI did follow the instuctions and created a blog.php file that was the template for my blog page. this however made all my archive and category links fail. it was as if it was looking in the wrong path for the files.
i may abandon this static page method and do as pcmt pointed out, and code it within the loop.
does anyone know of a tutorial or explanation anywhere of how to do this?
basically i want a combination of website (pages in wordpress) and blog (posts, categories, archives) as a separate link on the website.
i originally had my website outside of wordpress and simply linked to wordpress for my blog but am looking for a more unified coherant entity by trying to incorporate the site in wordpress.
