Hi!
For category-posting-rights I use a combination of these plugins:
http://redalt.com/wiki/Limit+Categories
http://redalt.com/wiki/Role+Manager

You can exclude categories from the homepage via query_posts. Check the Docs for details.

To make it concrete. My home.php or index.php looks like this:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<h2>Welcome</h2>
<?php } ?>
...The Loop...

But the “Welcome”-Headline is visible not only on
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/ but on http://www.mydomain.com/blog/page/2/ as well.

I did it the same way. And that is suggested here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts#Post_.26_Page_Parameters

I tried to do something with is_home(), but that didn’t work, because the “next page” seems to be “home” as well.

I read several times that people suggest to build a new category e.g. called “Blog” an put all the other categories in it. Than you can link to the Blog-cat to show all posts. But I don’t like that and the German Doku doesn’t, too:
http://doku.wordpress.de/Template_Tags/query_posts#Posts_aller_Kategorien_abfragen

But i don’t understand how to use
rewind_posts();
query_posts('cat=0');
to get what we want… 🙁

forget about all plugins and simply enter this into your index.php or home.php somewhere before the loop starts:

<?php query_posts('cat=3'); ?>

This is to display posts from category-ID 3 only. For more parameters see
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts#Category_Parameters

Sorry, it was a long day… 🙂

From the usermeta page:
This post written by <?php the_author(); ?> who lives at
<?php $usermeta = new Usermeta(); echo $usermeta->get(get_the_author_ID(), "address", true); ?>


…in case your field is called “address”.

Hi!

I am planning a guestmap, where the registered user can set (and change) its location in the profile by dragging a gmap. This works fine since yesterday… It’s not an own plugin, but a hack of the userextra plugin. My Problem is, that i manually have to code, which users’ data to show on the map. I don’t know enough php to construct a function that writes these few lines into the page for each user who has set a location in the profile. Anybody likes to help me?
