 * Do I need to create a Custom Select Query to search both pages and posts for 
   a custom field value? That’s what I understand from this page: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Displaying_Posts_Using_a_Custom_Select_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Displaying_Posts_Using_a_Custom_Select_Query)
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * This is what I have so far:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       $query = new WP_Query( array (
       	'meta_key' => 'feature',
       	'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
       	'order' => 'ASC'
       ));
       // The Loop
       while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
   
       <div id="feature1">
       	<div class="featureContent">
       		<h4 class="featureHeader"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'header', true); ?> >></a></h4>
       		<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail', true); ?>" border=0></a><br>
       		<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'blurb', true); ?>
       	</div>
       </div>
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * This is working. But how do I include both posts AND pages in the query? Some
   features are pages, and some are posts. Currently only the posts are showing.

 * Thanks esmi. I have 5 features on the homepage ([http://semnsynod.org](http://semnsynod.org)).
   I want to be able to set any post as a feature by using custom fields. So, value
   =1 would be the feature far left, 2 is next to it, and so on. The title is a 
   custom field. The image is a url in the custom field, and the content for the
   feature is the excerpt.
 * So I am thinking I need to
 * -get posts
    -order by custom field feature number -look for custom field title-
   look for custom field image url -look for excerpt.
 * Am I on the right track or am I going about this all wrong? Thanks.

 * Bump
 * I am interested in this as well. I know I should run a query post and extract
   the values from the custom fields. It’s the conditional syntax I’m not good at.
   Help?

 * When I use [easysms] on my page, it puts the widget in twice! Once right after
   the body tag, and once in the content of the page where it should be.
 * I am using a custom child theme for arras.
 * Can someone point me in the right direction?

 * I am having the same issue. Is there a fix coming? It is keeping count correctly
   in the Analytics page, but the counter will not show unless you click the Share
   button.

 * I had the same problem. After uninstalling WP, then deleting the db, I still 
   couldn’t install a new WP. I was getting the same error.
 * Check for a Dir called .fantasticodata in your root Dir. In there is a file named
   installed_in_root.php. Open that file and delete the portion that refers to your
   failed install — should start with a $, and end with a ;
 * Save that change, and you should be money.
