In reply to: current tag css classhow is it possible to have a current tag, unless you’re viewing the tag archive?.. at which point it should be obvious by the honking big h1 or h2 tag at the top of the page.

In reply to: Maintenance Mode*nods* … I tend to use htaccess to put up a password prompt, that way it works for you, but everyone else gets the login box (and a big f*ck off sign if they try their luck)
I’m not professional enough to do my development offline. Good thing I’m only doing it for myself, I’d hate to think how someone would react if they hired me 😛

In reply to: Maintenance Modewhat was it supposed to display while you do that? another theme?
if so, you might want one of those user-level theme switchers, and just give yourself access to the theme you’re editing, while the rest of your visitors get something else.

In reply to: Using subdomains with WordPressI think the OP wants wordpress to extract categories to their respective subdomains.
Aint gonna happen without some creative coding on your part, Lyle 😉

In reply to: Why Cant use windows as category slug?sorry, but I think that’s not correct.
I believe you can use a category name as a tag with no problems, but you can’t create a category using the slug of an existing tag.
In other words: Make the category first, then use it as a tag if you like — it will not make a new tag, it’ll simply use the category *as* a tag.
I wonder why you ask questions if you won’t at least go and TEST the answer before dismissing it.

In reply to: Which action hook to use?The URL is always formed, as you’re requesting it before anything happens. I was speaking more in the abstract. Not having any idea of the kind of stats you want to keep, I guess you might want to allow for redirections at the template level, or you might even want to keep statistical information about the queries which are formed as you go… I dunno, it’s irrelevant to your question, so I didn’t really explore it.
As you noticed, I didn’t even respond do your question directly. I have a way of not doing that. Sorry about that.
Yes, of those choices I’d use the header.
Cheers 😉
I’m at a loss, unfortunately. If your categories do not appear under “all categories” on the write posts page, then something *is* broken.
I can’t tell you what exactly, as this is a built-in feature that should always work if your database is in good order.
I would take this issue a little more seriously than you seem to be at this point, because it could be indicative of a bigger problem. I hope that someone with a better idea of the upgrade process can step in and offer you some answers.
In the mean time, I wonder what happens if you create a new category now? Does it show up, or is it MIA as well?

In reply to: Which action hook to use?I think maybe it depends on the stats you want to keep… personally, I’d hook the footer, because there’s no reason to insert yourself in the process of displaying the page, if your plugin does nothing to affect what follows.
if you’re just snooping on the process, then do so after the content is done.
I certainly wouldn’t do it before a template is chosen, or before the URL is formed, etc… otherwise how will you know what to log the hit against?

In reply to: Disable Subdomain Redirectkb with the wrong instructions?.. unhead of 😛
glad it’s working, but I have to say you’re a far happier person than I am if you can get incorrect documentation and still proclaim your love 😉
good for you, I’m jealous.
aha… well, I would suggest that if you can’t see any categories under “all categories” then you probably have a fairly serious issue.
“i don’t think it is a problem with my wordpress”
I do.
What’s shown under manage/categories?
“so all seems to be in order”
Really? I was under the impression you couldn’t change categories in a post, and that under “all categores” there weren’t any visible.
Did I misunderstand you?

In reply to: contacting moderators on this forumI hate to come off like an asshole… well ok, maybe ‘hate’ is a bit strong, but I digress…
some people say its a good idea to have the author’s picture on the blog, and from the point of view of full disclosure, I can probably agree with that. However, from a sales perspective, you have to decide whether your photo is doing you any favours or not.
I wouldn’t put mine on my business site, because a lot of my clients have small children who scare easily. I think, frankly, the same applies to you.
I look at your site with that honking big photo of you up there, and I think to myself, where am I traveling to? your place? Also, you don’t really look like my kind of happening fellow, so maybe your idea of great vacation destinations isn’t mine.
Best to let your words convince me, than to allow your mug shot to stop me reading in the first place.
Just trying to be helpful 😉
… if you were selling used cars on the other hand, I’d run with it 🙂
it’s not rocket surgery… tick the category, hit save.
if that’s not working, there’s something wrong with your wordpress – have you tried disabling plugins and seeing if this makes a difference?
if you change text on the post, does THAT save?

In reply to: Content background isn’t stretching to cover all the content.I don’t know why, but the facilities page actually makes the entire content jump to the left a bit, as compared with the other pages (in firefox, but not in IE7).
it’s a little distracting.
also, the background image has a feint line at the join… I’m guessing, but this usually happens when you resize an image in photoshop (or whatever) and the image hasn’t been flattened. The antialiasing around the outsides of the layer results in a small transparency issue.
given the attention to detail in the rest of the site, and the very easy fix, I figured I’d mention it.
you can get rid of it easily enough by duplicating the layer upon itself once or twice before saving again – that’ll just bring up any transparent edges up to 100% opacity.
while you’re at it, do consider compressing the background a little more (maybe save-for-web) and see if you can bring down the file size a little. It’s not scarily huge, but it does take a while to load the first time around, which impacts on the first impression.
Other than those easily fixable tiny little cosmetic details, it’s a very nice design.
I’m sure you’re going to change this, but just in case it’s slipped your mind…
The logo links to a page that doesn’t exist… and the polaroids (for lack of a better term) don’t link anywhere. I don’t know where you were intending to link those, but I think since they look like photos it would be cool for them to link to the gallery page.
how’s all that for feedback you didn’t want? 🙂
Cheers.

In reply to: Disable Subdomain Redirectwell, I can’t speak to your hosts instructions as they didn’t CC me when they sent them to you… but lets talk about what you actually did.
there should be no reason to move your forum files anywhere at all. Creating a subdomain should allow you to specify the name of a folder within your public_html – coincidentally, your forums subdomain already matches an existing folder called forums, so the process should have been largely automatic.
anything that was accessible in /forums should be accessible as forums.yourdomain.com.
also, wordpress doesn’t really know you’ve got subdomains unless you’re landing in the same place where wordpress is located… which folder did you move your forum to, and why on earth did you move it?
It’s possible that you have a redirect in place after creating the subdomain, which shouldn’t be there (and wasn’t put there by wordpress).
