In reply to: Need help: RSS links don’t work!Iridiax, that was the magic word: plugins. Appears the RSS Link Tagger for Google Analytics plugin somehow craters my RSS feed links. So I’ve deactivated it.
Thanks for offering to help. It’s appreciated. I’m still learning WP.

In reply to: Need help: RSS links don’t work!Well the only RSS-related plugin I’m using is RSSupplement and the problem existed prior to that problem. Are you saying other plugins that don’t directly appear related to RSS can cause the problem? Do you know, offhand, of any particular plugins?

In reply to: Need help: RSS links don’t work!I had it set to summary. Just reset it to Full but still get the same problem you can see here:
http://reachcustomersonline.com/feed/atom/
Basically the links are all blank even though I can get other stuff in the feed. I just don’t get what could be wrong. Any other ideas? What should I check to debug this?
Thanks!

In reply to: Plugin to capture email addresses?Turns out MailPress has the capability I want, although it’s buried in their Installation instructions. It also appears to includes some/all of the Subscribe2 functionality. Sorry to bother then. Thanks for your help!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Plugin to capture email addresses?Close, thank you. I’m mostly thinking of the signup boxes you create with email service providers like iContact, MailChimp, Campaign Monitor then paste into your template. Only having the data captured within WordPress then being able to export the list as CSV when I email. Subscribe2 is centered around subscribing to specific posts/categories and tying it into site registration, something I don’t necessarily want right now.
Perhaps I’ll have to code something… Let me know if any other plugin rings a bell on this. Thanks!

In reply to: Archive page not showing older (page 2 ) postsIn case someone finds this through search, here’s the problem. The WordPress documentation says two different things with respect to category archive pages:
1. Here it says you can use query_posts to restrict a category page to a specific category:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates
2. Here it says use of query_posts will cause WordPress to ignore the page value, which condemns you to just a first page of listings:
http://codex.wordpress.org/User:JamesVL/query_posts
The documentation clearly needs to update at least the Category Template page to note that use of query_posts will cause WordPress to ignore the page value, thus preventing pagination links from working within a category page.
I’m also amazed there don’t appear to be any documentation pages about pagination, how it works, when it works. That would have saved me a few hours wasted time.
In my case, I’m creating section home pages around specific categories. Since I can’t use the category archive pages, I’ll have to hack it by customizing versions of single.php, creating a blank (wasted) page for each section, assigning the new template to the page, and then in the new template manually including a link to the full category archive. Basically a ton of wasted time and needless complexity because WordPress doesn’t read the page value when you use query_post.

In reply to: Archive page not showing older (page 2 ) postsHi,
I really need help with this issue, if people know how archive pages and pagination in archive pages work. I’ve searched thoroughly through all the WP documentation and struck out. Surely this is a common problem for people setting up archive pages outside of the default archive.php structure?
I’d appreciate help, if anyone can point me to resources. Thank you!

In reply to: Archive page not showing older (page 2 ) postsCan anyone help me figure this out? Thank you!

In reply to: Multiple loop problem in single.phpHi,
I’m trying a hack where I split these multiple loops into 2 loops where the TOC loop generates a variable used in the main (now single) loop.
However, when I assign the template tags to a PHP varialble, for example, the_title(), in my PHP it outputs the template tag rather than load the variable. Can someone help me tweak my PHP to make it work?
Here’s the code:
<?php if ($parentcatid == '32') : $rdtoc_query = new WP_Query('showposts=15&cat='.$storycatid); if ($rdtoc_query->have_posts()) : $toc = "<div style=\"background: #eee; width: 270px; float: left; margin: 0 10px; padding: 10px; position: relative;\">\n"; $toc .= "<h3>".$parentcat."</h3>\n"; $toc .= "<p><em>".$storycatname."</em></p>\n"; $toc .= "<ul>\n"; while ($rdtoc_query->have_posts()) : $rdtoc_query->the_post(); $permalink = the_permalink(); $linkattribute = the_title_attribute(); $linktitle = "Permanent Link to ".$linkattribute; $title = the_title(); $toc .= "<li><a href=\"".$permalink." rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"".$linktitle."\">".$title."</a></li>\n"; endwhile; $toc .= "</ul>\n"; $toc .= "</div>\n"; endif; endif; echo $toc; ?>Again, this outputs the right code I want, just not the WordPress values.
Thanks for any help!

In reply to: Multiple loop problem in single.phpI tried that before posting here and it failed, too. I got the same effect: running the customized TOC query somehow knocked out the larger query. That’s why I’m stumped. It seems so obvious, and straightforward. But it’s not working…
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Multiple loop problem in single.phpWell, that’s what I would like. The problem is that I want/need the TOC DIV to be between the title and the content (because the title is in an H2 and I can’t get the H2 to float to the right of the TOC DIV along with the content (which floats fine). The H2 insists on breaking to a new line or it sits under the TOC DIV and refuses to move.
In a perfect world, the TOC DIV would output then the post would output. I can’t get that to work so I’m trying to do what I thought was a fairly simple multiple loop. I just need to figure out how to reset the query data after the TOC loop outputs, to return to the original wp query.
Thanks for any ideas…

In reply to: Post excerpt options?For people who might find this topic, there also appears to be another plugin, which I found through one of my clients’ install, called Limit Posts. The URL is here:
http://labitacora.net/comunBlog/limit-post.phps
I find the Limit Posts plugin easier for my needs, but both it and the The Excerpt Reloaded plugins work fine.

In reply to: Post Offsets?Thanks, Filosofo! I just came back to this post, thinking no one had responded, to post the answer I’d found elsewhere, in case someone found this post in the future with search. I appreciate the link. I could not find it searching the Codex for ‘offset=’ which I thought was the magic phrase.
This thread can be closed. I’d do it but can’t see how.

In reply to: 404 and PermalinksIf it matters to someone searching, I believe the problem is the use of the text string ‘content’ in my permalinks. WordPress works fine if I remove that first non-variable portion of my permalinks. Even though it displayed fine yesterday.
I’ve tried every fix mentioned in this forum, to no avail, that would allow me to put my own text (rather than a variable) in my permalinks. When I did a dif between the internal WP rewrite rules, using the AskApache plugin, between permalinks that worked and failed, the text string ‘content’ was the only difference.
If anyone knows WordPress well enough to suggest how to fix this, I’d appreciate your ideas. I find it hard to believe inserting a text string would cause a problem. For example, the internal WP rewrite rules use text strings like ‘tag’ with no problem.
