Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installation Errorthe values should be:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘kerih_wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘kerih_kerih’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘toebaby’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this valueand I REALLY suggest you change that password asap.
I was going from memory, appropriate bits changed now.

In reply to: Confused on moderation/SpamKarmaGot it now. Looks like they are track/pingbacks – it is showning a snippet of the other blogs’ post in your comments. If you visit that blog, you will see the whole post.

In reply to: Confused on moderation/SpamKarmaAre they long comments being truncated?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: thumbnails of most recent picturesPut the link to the thumbnail as the excerpt and then use the customisable post listings plugin to call the excerpt where you want? (This assumes that your pics are in a category of their own). – This is the method I used on my site.
Updated: Just remembered that doing this wraps the img in a paragraph tags, which (if you use the thumbnail as a link) will result in invalid xhtml. I use the wpauto plugin (with the_content bit taken out) to strip the
tags from the excerpt.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Separating Different Categories of Links<?php wp_get_linksbyname('link cat name here'); ?>should do the job.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Pages as Posts….You will need to edit page.php and remove/comment out the bits you don’t want. If you haven’t got page.php you can make it by copying index.php (from you theme folder) and renaming it page.php.

In reply to: Validate xhtml and list item tagsYou need to define it as an ordered or unordered list first. i.e.
<ol>
<li>something</li>
</ol>
or
<ul>
<li>something</li>
</ul>Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: /update-links.php nuked my bandwidth?Yes, it runs twice a day and has been for a month or so. I have been monitoring it closely and normal the bandwidth used is 10kb or less, but then everything goes crazy once in a while. I don’t really want to disable it because I really like the way I can show which links are updated on my site.
Is there a way to still get update times with a cron job?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: /update-links.php nuked my bandwidth?Thinking about it more I am wondering if it was a single hit with a size of 300+mb, the other hits would have been the normal ones checking for updates. Is it possible that something in (i’m guessing in ping-o-matic) occasionally causes update-links to try and download everything? I am well out of my depth trying to understand so chances are i am well off the mark here.

In reply to: /update-links.php nuked my bandwidth?Not just a one-off? Another huge chunk of my bandwidth stripped.
url - /blog/wp-admin/update-links.php
hits - 76
average size - 4.45 MBEverything fine before and after, and I have made no changes to my setup in the last 48 hours. Anybody else experienced this?
The rest of my logs show it was a quieter day with less hits and visitors than average.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: I want to display the latest 5 articles in the sidebarWhat do you want to display – title, full content, excerpt, comments?
Odd. I used your style.css, got the same problem as you, took the spaces out and it worked. Try using my copy of style.css: http://the-way-to-the-centre.org.uk/blog/wp-content/themes/default/style.css let me know when you have got it, so I can my english version back in.
