events from *what* calendar?

maybe what you need is a new calendar: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-calendar/

“So willing to be embarrassed!”

Objective achieved.

Do you even have php installed on that windows box?… MySQL on there? No? perhaps later?

Consider this:

<?php foreach(get_categories('child_of=23') as $category) : ?>
  <div class="box">
    <?php $getposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category='.$category);
    foreach($getposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

      [do your post stuff here]

    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </div><!-- box -->
<?php endforeach; ?>

disclaimer: not tested, should work.

yeah, I think the landscape of your question changes dramatically when you say “antispam”, while blog stats information may actively wish to ignore that data.

your problem isn’t so much the wpautop function, it’s that you’re using the visual editor.

Let me see if I can make this point as strongly as possible, in case there’s any further argument…

If you’re adding markup to your posts, you should NOT be using the visual editor. Either find a way to add your markup via a custom filter, so you can avoid inserting into your posts, or STOP USING THE VISUAL EDITOR.

The visual editor is for people who don’t know what markup is.

I can’t stress that enough.

Without using the visual editor, you can add div tags to your posts, if you leave a blank line between your previous/following paragraphs and the div. This blank line will not be evident in your final output.

you might want to make this super-pretty by doing something like this:

<?php
  $cutoff = 30;
  $title = the_title('','',FALSE);
  if (strlen($title)>$cutoff) echo substr($title, 0, 30).'...';
  else echo $title;
?>

that’ll put a ‘…’ at the end of your titles, but only if something’s been cut off.

you could also replace the dots above with the HTML entity ‘…’

<?php wp_list_categories('depth=1&exclude=4'); ?>

Have a nice day 🙂

ahh I see, it was a function of the theme, not a separate plugin…

good work finding it 🙂
