In reply to: Redirect static front page.Ok, solved…
Seems that the front page has to have a template called ‘front-page’ – even if it’s named something different in the code (in this case my font-page.php has ‘Template Name: redirect’), and simply ignores whatever template is specified in ‘page attributes’.
Hhhmmm…. very strange.. But as this is WordPress, perhaps not. Oh well, just another day.

In reply to: Adding the standard navigation menu to a custom theme.Thanks.
Why is it, that however much I search (so’s to avoid posting dorky questions here), I always miss the good stuff (and so *do* post dorky questions here)? 😉

In reply to: Style author commentsThanks.
‘I must stop asking stupid questions in the forum…’ I hadn’t realized it was already built into many themes and just needed appropriate styling of the of the css selector.
Clearly, rather than read the codex properly, I’ve been reading too many old (and perhaps now outdated) here’show-to-do-whatever-in-WP articles on the web. 😉

In reply to: Remove 'says' from comments.Excellent. Thanks.
And a minor edit also removes the now-redundant colon.

In reply to: Add p tag to more link.Thanks.
I’d already tried that and it doesn’t do what I want. It instead just puts the link text in p tags rather than the whole thing (with the a href part). It does this:
<a href="#"><p>CONTINUE READING »</p></a>What I want is this:
<p><a href="#">CONTINUE READING »</a></p>It may be a minor point, but it’ll enable greater control of layout with css. (And yes, I know I could use a span instead of a p.)

In reply to: Disable visual editor in config file?Thanks.
And, I’ve since found that the check-box option can be hidden too.
And I’m trying to really understand this stuff… what does the create_function ( ‘$a’ , ‘return false;’ ) , 50 do in your code?

In reply to: Static front page won't used assigned template.Thanks.
Yes, that does it.

In reply to: Static front page won't used assigned template.Thanks.
The name is unimaginatively ‘page2’, and yes, I did ( I think) read the info.
If I set the page to be an internal page it reads the template fine, as intended. But whenever I set it back as the front page it draws unwanted content.

In reply to: Disable post-revisioning.Thanks, and for the links too.

In reply to: Wp ate my html when switching to view.Thanks.
In the absence of a better fix I think I’ll have to.
Problem is though, this is an install of a colleague and my concern is that they (or someone for them) will simply reactivate the visual editor and thus nuke the code should that visual tab be used – albeit inadvertently.
Any suggestion as to why WP does this? I can understand it adding br, p, curlies etc – but not ‘entirely removing’ some other code.
I’m used to working in Movable Type which, unless you set it to otherwise, doesn’t modify what’s entered.

In reply to: Control/modify default html formatting.UPDATE: HAving looked further, and ruled-out various others, Text Control seems to be the most suitable.

In reply to: Admin bar missingThanks. Yeah, I’m glad too – there’s a run of recent tech-stuff odd-happenings, beyond which i can explain as ‘my error’ which is tiring me.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Admin bar missingThanks. Already did that too, and no change.
Oddly, a log-out and log-in seems to sort it, so perhaps it was a cookie issue.
Hell, the whole thing’s so complex I’m surprised and glad it works as well as it does.

In reply to: Admin bar missingYes. And yes.

In reply to: Import from Blogger – difference in number of commentsSolved: Because they still show in the entries, Blogger counts the ‘removed by admin’ comments – but they’re not imported into WP.
