In reply to: More fun with Recent Comments PluginThanks, Beel. 🙂
I’ve got it going with the whole date and time, but I’m a little fuzzy on (strtotime).
I know in php I want the date to be (D g:ia) but I’m unclear where I’m supposed to put that to make it work. Is (strtotime) something completely different?Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: database not working?It depends on whether you’re using cPanel or Plesk.
I’ve always used Plesk, and have just moved to a new host using cPanel – so I managed to get my database imported and everything in there using phpmyadmin, only to have this same problem. The database was there, and the user was there; trouble was, they weren’t associated with eachother!
Turns out in cPanel you have to explicitly add a user to the database… in Plesk you had to be inside the database before you could even add a user, so it sort of did this by itself.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Why I Hate GmailIt’s not the illusion of exclusivity that makes me not want to go within a hundred miles of a gmail account – it’s that they are pre-reading my email and targeting advertisements based on what they see. It’s a dangerous precedent.
Google’s Gmail – Spook Heaven?
Google email is evil – Privacy Advocates
Add the fact that they keep your emails even after you delete them and it’s something that I want nothing to do with – either using an account myself or even emailing someone who has one. No thanks.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Import WP database from one server to another !Upload in gzip. Check. 🙂
I tell you… there isn’t a container big enough to fit all the crap I don’t know. Thanks for the tip!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Category Page as Titles and Archive DropdownThanks so much! I had a similar archive listing thing going on before I switched to WP that showed only titles and dates.

In reply to: Import WP database from one server to another !I just did this last night. Used the phpmyadmin faq, down at 6.4 and 6.5.
I followed the instructions, downloaded the gzip’d file to my hard drive (which turned out to be a dumb thing since after that I just had to unzip it and upload the unzipped file). When I unzipped it, it asked me what sort of file I wanted it to be and I put .sql on the end.
Then I deleted every single table in the database. You probably want to skip that step but I wanted to see if the restore would work. 🙂
Then uploaded it using those instructions and it did it’s thing and recreated the database just like it was.
Pretty nifty, really. I’m moving to a new host this week so I wanted to make sure it goes smoothly.
Good luck!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Browser ParoblemsI don’t know what it’s supposed to look like, but it looks ok in Opera – I mean, I can read it and nothing is laying on top of anything else as far as I can see. I’d be happy to put a pic up of it, but I haven’t quite figured out the whole uploading images thing yet since I just migrated from MT. 🙂

In reply to: Deleting user from WP and dbI’ll give that a try. Thanks!

In reply to: Can I do this ?Techgnome – that’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for! I’ve got one main blog and 7 sub-blogs off it – the sub-blogs are like categories. One for recipes, one for riddles, one for hacks and code bits, one for NaNoWriMo, etc. I have each of these set up as separate blogs in MT because that was the only way I knew to make the sites look completely different from my main site. (They used to look different – they don’t look different now because I quit reinstalling MT 3.0 right in the middle this past weekend and switched to WP. Smartest thing I ever did.)
I read on here somewhere I can exclude certain cats from appearing on the main page, and so combined with the separate style sheets for each cat, that makes the multiple blog option I was looking for. And it makes it way easier than MT because even though you could access all your blogs from one main page, it’s still a completely separate interface in order to post to each one. If I wanted to post to my main site I’d have to go in there and do it, and then if I wanted to post a recipe I’d have to go up out of the main blog and down into the recipe blog. Tedious.
I’ve got a couple questions:
1. With your code above and the if-else statement, I’m assuming I can extend that and make as many different stylesheets for as many different categories as I want? I can go if—else if—else if—else, right?
2. Is there a way, with the levels of access for my users, to set it up so like User#3 can only post to Category#1?
3. Is there a way to set up the category page so that it would only show like the last 5 entries to that category? And then have the full listing of everything in that category somewhere else? Either that or I guess paginate would work for that also.
Man, this is awesome. 🙂

In reply to: “Merging” AuthorsHoly COW… my first attempt at doing anything in phpmyadmin and it worked perfectly!
I am flat-out unable to articulate how thrilled I am with WP. Whee!Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: import-mt – Fatal error: Allowed memory sizeWonderful!
Had to chop it up a bit further because anything over 1mg for the import file made it crap out again. This is actually a good thing though – as most of the 1500 entries are stupid, I think I’ll just take out a “best of” segment and then trash the rest.
Thanks much for the assistance, I appreciate it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Fatal errorThat’s almost exactly what I’m getting:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 131072 bytes) in /path-to/wordpress/wp-admin/import-mt.php on line 66
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 21 bytes) in Unknown on line 0
The import file is huge – 2.90mb – because the site is huge and stuffed with idiotic pictures. 🙂 Here is the site I’m trying to import. I already imported one of my sub-blogs into my WP installation and it went fine, but it only had 5 entries and like 30 comments.
Any ideas on what to do with this? I’d be happy to divide the thing up into smaller chunks if that would help any. 🙂
