In reply to: wp-load not workingSure, in your
wp-config.phpfile, add the linedefine('WP_DEBUG', true);. If you already have one that definesWP_DEBUGas false, just edit that line instead. Be sure this line comes above where it says to stop editing and happy blogging (something along those lines). This should turn on error reporting and will give you more information about what’s going wrong.Ahhh I see. I think this plugin may be way more helpful than writing some metabox code: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-to-posts/
But, if you want to continue down the metabox path, we can work on it π
Question: do you have the code written to save the metabox data? Could you post that? Having checkboxes as a CSV should be pretty easy with
implode(), but saving your metabox data is a different issue.A little side note: you should look into the
checked()function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/checkedForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Image AlignmentIf it’s just images, you should be able to use the built-in galleries and captions. After you’ve uploaded images to a post or page, you should be able to find a Gallery tab in the upload pop up and insert a gallery with the options down at the bottom.

In reply to: Most of my home page turns black. HELP!Ipstenu is right, even if it’s a free theme, you should pay for support. I can tell you what’s wrong – at some point around the videos, it starts changing < and > to
<and>. Haven’t the faintest idea why that would happen or what you can do to fix it, though. I don’t think anybody here is going to know anything besides what WooThemes’ open documentation tells you.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp-load not workingIs it possible for you to turn on error reporting so you can see what’s going wrong? My guess is that
require()does not want to take a full URL. Try using a relative local path instead, e.g.require('../wordpress/wp-load.php);Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Captions not working on custom template pagesOh great, I forgot about the smart loading feature. I knew one of those options looked only in the_content π Always good to automate Shadowbox if possible, WP sometimes chews on manually entering a rel attribute with square brackets in it anyway.
Glad you got it all sorted out!

In reply to: Captions not working on custom template pagesBasically, applying all the_content’s filters will also get you things like wpautop, which is where those p tags come from.
As for your other questions:
1) The dash character is in the CSS using the :before pseudo element:
.wp-caption .wp-caption-text:before { content: '\2014'; }2) There’s an option in the Shadowbox plugin to automatically try to capture all of the images in the content, but I guess that only gets applied to the_content. To manually get an image link using Shadowbox, add
rel="shadowbox"to the<a>tag. If you want them to show in a continuous gallery, use something likerel="shadowbox[gallery]Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: new page positionLooks like that’s a paid theme that includes support, so I’d ask them first π A quick look around their website brings this piece of information up, along with a bunch of other tutorials: http://members.photocrati.com/how-to-create-a-custom-menu

In reply to: Captions not working on custom template pagesWhere is this caption shortcode coming from? It seems to be coming from
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Product Images', true); ?>in your code, so I’m guessing the shortcode in the Product Images custom field. If so, you need to use do_shortcode() on that piece of content, as do_shortcode() is only applied to the_content by default. So you’d have<?php echo do_shortcode( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Product Images', true) ); ?>instead.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: new page positionNot all themes list all pages in the top menu by default. What theme are you using, and does it support custom menus?

In reply to: Admin only linksNo problem! I’d avoid levels and maybe choose a capability, like
'manage_options'instead, but if it works for you, I’m sure you’ll be happy! Be sure to mark this thread as resolved as well πForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: HELP – blog and wp-admin URL not workingYes, that’s probably it – you can name your plugins folder back to plugins and then carefully go and activate them one by one until something stops working (or, it might not stop working, who knows). If one of those plugins breaks your site, you can rename that specific plugin’s folder to deactivate it and then I’d report it to the plugin developer if other people haven’t already.
