In reply to: Building a company website from WP – Products & services etcI’m the wrong person to ask about prefab themes… but they seem to be everywhere… I just don’t pay much attention to the sites I see them on.
I’m sure there are better sites for business-related layouts, but the only one that comes to mind is Template Monster, because of their 50,000 affiliates shoving them down your throat at every turn.
Some of the designs are pretty good, I must say, but the concept of selling “uniques” for two grand once they’ve already been downloaded 20 times is pretty funny.

In reply to: Sidebar – prevent refresh – Ajax?its possible to do it with ajax, but I think you’re suffering buzzwordism.
you don’t just open a bottle of ajax and squeeze, unless you’re house-cleaning… it needs to be built into everything at the core level.. that’s not going to happen with a plugin.
your best bet is to launch the player in another window – or try to find a theme which is heavily ajaxified already – it still won’t be perfect, but it’ll be better than nothing.

In reply to: Single posts show twiceI saw a case of this about a week ago – guy posted his single.php template file and there was nothing wrong with it…. yet it was generating the post twice.
I didn’t have an answer then either. At least in your case you can be sure something has changed to make it happen – the other guy couldn’t tell me which of the 483 things he’d done might have caused that.
I’m sorry to be utterly useless.
It wouldn’t be fair to call your hosts liars without having your server logs in my back pocket, but if YOU didn’t change anything, someone else did.

In reply to: Weird errorthe problem is that your post names can be anything – so wordpress has to react to *everything* in order to try to match them.
sounds logical when you think about it.
you can set your permas to something short like /docs/%postname% if you want, and it’ll work, it just has to have either more information, or a static element like %postname%.html even.
edit: ah you edited… well if its not your permalinks doing this, then I suggest removing your htaccess file and letting wordpress re-create it.

In reply to: Category list in the writing interfacethat’s seriously one of the more unfriendly adjustments to the interface… that little excuse for a sidebar in there, really could use more tools on it.

In reply to: Post display option in category ? Only a short summery.you’ll have to work on the picture part… but the text bit is easy.
open up your archive.php template file (or category.php if you have one!) and change the_content(); to the_excerpt();

In reply to: Single posts show twicecomputers are still waters, there are no ripples without foreign intervention… that’s just how it is.
so, something changed… you’re in a better position to find out what, than I am.
My first thought is that your host isn’t being particularly forthcoming, which could easily be explained by a thousand mysql users jumping down their throat for upgrading to 5.0.5x which is known to be buggy.
… but then, I have very little faith in hosts.

In reply to: Single posts show twiceyou’ve tagged your post “mysql”, do you suspect that an upgrade of mysql has happened overnight? – do you perhaps know for sure?

In reply to: Weird errorchange your permalink structure to something other than %postname% only.
that’s the cause of your problem in the other thread too.

In reply to: How can I post on a pagethat may be what YOU are here for.
I don’t see what the problem with adding options is… you can always choose not to use them, and for the most part what I’m proposing would be used by more people than use some of the existing options.

In reply to: Hierarchical Navigation to not open completely?you can do that with CSS…
try adding the following styles:
.children { display: none; } .current-cat .children { display: block; }not tested, but should work.

In reply to: How can I post on a pageif you want to load posts into pages, you can do so via Page Templates.
the following links should help:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_postshowever, it is possible to do this via categories and have dynamic navigation which highlights the current category view.
just like wp_list_pages, wp_list_categories issues a class to the currently active category. Use ‘current-cat’ in your css to highlight it.

In reply to: some plugins won’t save changesjust an observation here… but I think maybe google should rethink that.
I reckon anyone suggestible enough to actually do it is probably suggestible enough to buy whatever’s being sold on the other end, so I don’t think it’s necessarily in anyone’s best interest to outlaw it.
PS: Say no to tinned meat.
