In reply to: Putting Blog ElsewhereHmm.
1. Can you use any of the available sidebars (instead of Main Top 1)?
— My goal with that is to get a link to your posts or categories on the home page somewhere.
— The “Categories” widget would like any blog categories you make, and if you clicked a category name, it would take you to a category archive page, listing all the posts in that category, newest first.So, I guess the main thing right now is seeing if you can put that widget in one of those sidebar areas.

In reply to: Putting Blog ElsewhereHowdy,
Well, bummer that the theme doesn’t support native menus, but perhaps you could get by with the widget.
Let’s skip the menu situation.
1. Make your new category as I mentioned before, if you haven’t already.
2. Go ahead and put a couple test posts in that category.
3. Go to Appearance > Widgets
4. Drag either the “Recent Posts” widget OR the “Categories” widget over into the “Main Top 1” sidebar. (NOTE: You may have to open up the Main Top 1 sidebar by clicking that disclosure triangle in its title bar.)
5. Configure the widget if you need to.
6. Refresh your home page and see if it’s getting you anywhere.Let me know how it goes.

In reply to: Change style of stories in category listHowdy Adam,
Let’s give it a shot, based off your code above.<?php if( have_posts() ) { $counter = 0; while( have_posts() ) { the_post(); // check to see if we are on one of the first 2 items if( $counter < 2 ) { // do whatever in your theme for the design of your first 2 posts } else { // do whatever you want for posts after the 2nd one } $counter++; } // end while } // end if ?>Anyway, give that a shot, and let me know if you have questions.
Take care,

In reply to: Putting Blog ElsewhereHowdy Rich,
Not certain I understand your question, but I’ll give it a shot.Your blog page, really, is just a category archive page — listing the posts in a particular category. So, you could do something like this:
1. Add a “Blog” category to your site (or call it whatever…)
2. Add a post or two and put them in the “Blog” category.
3. Add the “Blog” category link to your site’s navigation menu. (That is assuming that Appearance > Menus is available to you and the theme supports built-in menus.)Give that a shot and let me know if you run in to trouble.
Take care,

In reply to: How to create customer accountsHowdy Rakaan,
There are a few plugins that help you add extra fields for users to fill out. One decent one is:

In reply to: Changing Permalinks without breaking linksHowdy,
So, your old links on Twitter, Facebook, etc. are in the format:
datacenterevents.info/?page_id=579, right?When you change the permalinks setting on your WordPress site, those old links should still work without any special workarounds.
Take care,

In reply to: Creating a 'WordPress Like' button.There doesn’t seem to be a publicly-available plugin for this Likes functionality. It may be a WordPress.com-only thing.
The Jetpack plugin has similar features, but they might be just for sharing on social sites — not just the “WordPress Like” you are after.
You could always enable Jetpack, go under sharing, and check it out.
Good Luck,

In reply to: Can't customise headingLooks like you got it to work. How did you go about that? I still don’t see a setting in Cloriato Lite.
The reference to that link is on the WordPress SEO setup page for Sitemaps. It looks like a button.
However, it still doesn’t work for me, either. Google Webmaster Tools tells me that the different sitemap files generated cannot be accessed because they are blocked by robots.txt.
That is a “WordPress virtual” robots.txt, since I don’t have a real one.
So I disabled the sitemap in Yoast WordPress SEO and turned on Google XML Sitemaps, set it up, etc. I submitted the generated sitemap, and Google Webmaster Tools then told me, basically, it could not access any of the URL’s in the sitemap due to the robots.txt file.
Just FYI, In Dashboard > Settings > Privacy, I do not have the site blocking searching engines. I will say that I *did* have it blocking them until about 6 hours ago when I was ready to launch.
Perhaps it takes longer for robots.txt to be visited again by Google?
Anyway, it doesn’t seem to be a WordPress SEO Plugin problem — rather a robots.txt issue.
Good luck,
PaulFantastic plugin — but I am having a few issues with the latest install.
1. The “endless spinning wheel” does plague me. Deleting cookies for “js_tree” (I think there were 2 different ones) makes the problem go away until I change something (add / move a page.)2. Not certain, but I >think< Post / Page revisions are showing up in the tree. They will show up under their main post, and be listed as “INHERIT” in the tree view.
Thanks again!

In reply to: [Content Scheduler] [Plugin: Content Scheduler] MInor issues CS 0.9.8GL8899 — Thanks for the head’s up. I’m checking out a reported issue with notifications and will incorporate the fixes you pointed out at the same time.
Take care, PaulForum: Plugins
In reply to: [Content Scheduler] [Plugin: Content Scheduler] Posts not expiring? Try thisTuran, thanks for the info. This problem has been elusive: Expiration works for many, but for some it just isn’t happening.
There is a 0.9.8 update I added just before Christmas, and it is button tight as far as wp-cron functions go, but my guess is some folks on some setups will still have troubles.
Your note helps us with one more thing to check!
Take care,
PaulHi Techouse,
I’m not sure exactly what you need, but there is of course the CS option to “Delete” content instead of applying changes to it upon expiration.
But, it doesn’t empty trash, though.
Anyway, glad you’re happy with the change!
Happy holidays,
Paul
