how many times do you need to bump a 1-hour old thread? especially when there is a response to you in the OTHER thread on the same topic?

talk to your host about mod_rewrite… it must be available for pretty permalinks to work.

wouldn’t that link to their website as specified in their profile?

anyway, since all author links are the same, it should be a fairly simple matter to construct the permalink based on the author’s display name if using pretty permalinks (or based on their ID maybe? if not… I dunno what the format is for ugly permalinks, but whatever it is, it’ll be similar for all authors).

I couldn’t find a function to return just the URL to an author’s posts.

your server must support mod_rewrite… and wordpress should be able to create or modify your .htaccess file in your web root.

talk to your host about mod_rewrite.

[edit: too slow]

“maybe because it was difficult enough?”

Not in this case, but I admit that is sometimes a factor… Some of us are here a lot, and the same old questions lose their appeal pretty quickly (and have easily found answers anyway).

In this case I stepped in because of a (slightly) wrong answer given earlier. One of the steps in your original post was wrong.

Also, I see so many ongoing issues from people just moving the index file. I prefer to do the hard part once instead of having to deal with taking the easy way out, forever.

So, I’m glad you moved the whole thing now. I can understand the panic, but it has been my experience here at the forums, that the genuine problems always attract attention.

The ones that go by unanswered are usually quickly googlable or not critical to operation.

That’s excellent Kjetil!

I’m glad you resolved this final issue 🙂

oh for crying out loud… whiney cry-babies ‘r’ us…. Please don’t venture out of your circle of friends if you can’t handle alternative opinions, and ideas other than your own upset or bother you.

I expressed an opinion, maybe a strong opinion, but mine to express, and I didn’t do it rudely.

Asking people to shut up is FAR more forceful than anything I could have said. Don’t like what I had to say? feel free to ignore it, but if you ask people to bottle their opinions, then YOU are the rude and forceful one.

Frankly, it’s pretty stupid to limit the scope of responses you get on a topic with no direct solution. There is *no* way to magically do what you want, so if you want it solved, you’ll have to think outside your comfort zone.

…. or don’t, its up to you, but in the mean time, lets see how effective you are at stifling others’ opinions in a thread with no responses even *beginning* to address your impossible request.

you hit the nail on the head at the end there.

a page template with a couple of get_posts calls at the end will do exactly what you need.

style your nested ULs in the sidebar.

for instance:

ul, li { margin:0; }
ul ul, ul ul ul { margin-left: 10px; }

(or do it with the ‘li’ element instead, up to you 🙂

or… you can use the built-in classes

.children {margin-left: 10px;}

the children class appears on the UL tag for child categories.

you probably have a definition which removes all margins from ULs and LIs… but without nesting your definitions, the margins will be removed from all of them (even the children)
