In reply to: Can't Find Blog Posts. Not Sure WhyAhh. {{Slaps forehead}}
Extra closing parenthesis there. Should be this; sorry; my fault!
<?php query_posts( 'showposts'=>10, 'order'=>DESC ); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't Find Blog Posts. Not Sure WhyOh, so you don’t really need it organized by category then?
To show the latest 10 posts from any category in reverse chrono order, use this code then:
<?php query_posts( 'showposts'=>10, 'order'=>DESC) ); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't Find Blog Posts. Not Sure WhyHow many categories do you currently have? Do you want the latest “x” number of excerpts from each category to display on the “Blog” page? And in what order? Alpha by category and then within that, chronologically, latest at top? Like this:

In reply to: Suggestions for Self Hosted Video PluginJust a follow up. My client is now using Viper’s Video Quicktags to display her self-hosted Quicktime videos and she’s very pleased and so am I. I highly recommend it.

In reply to: complaints@wordpress.org@sambol … OT but I have a friend who is a mom blogger and as pure as the driven snow. You just know she’s the kind of gal you wouldn’t utter the word “Darn” in front of, much less anything else. Imagine my surprise, and my elevated heart rate, when she posted a notice on Twitter recently about her new blog series, the “F-Word.” Relax, it’s posts about Family, Friends, Freedom… you get the point. But coming from her, as we know her, we thought it was pretty funny. 🙂

In reply to: complaints@wordpress.org@james an URL shortener isn’t going to help keep someone from viewing a NSFW site and if you are going to help someone with such a site, I suppose a NSFW WARNING and/or post tag should be used and then we click at our own risk.
Is this something that’s in a sticky post somewhere so folks who have such sites can abide by this rule?
Personally, I’d rather see the word in an URL than click and have it in my face. Either way, I’d like fair warning.
And posters with such sites seeking help on this forum (or any forumfor that matter) need to understand that volunteers here come from a lot of backgrounds, walks of life. Some, like me, might be helping from their offices during down time so that’s an issue that seems there’s more and more a need to address, what with WP becoming so popular to drive just about any and every site, including NSFW sites.
Just my two.

In reply to: [Viper's Video Quicktags] [Plugin: Viper's Video Quicktags] alignmentI cannot get a quicktime video to flush LEFT or float LEFT, it insists on centering itself. I’ve tried every trick of eve to get the darn thing shoved over to the left. Any thoughts?
The testbed site is here:

PWORD: letmeinThen click on “film” in the sidebar. See what I mean? If you look at the source code, I’ve attempted to override the styles as suggested in the FAQ. I even went into the plugin and edited “left” to be margin: 0; and now in desperation, edited it further to be margin: 0 20px 0 0 to try to shove it over to the left.
Other than that, lovely plugin!

In reply to: How to eliminate sidebar in postsSo I see! Glad to help. Sorry I didn’t point you in the right direction the first time!

In reply to: How to eliminate sidebar in postsAack! {{slaps forehead}} I was looking at the wrong thing. Try this:
#sidebar {display: none !important; }Then you may want to widen the main content area, but let’s try this first.

In reply to: Changed WordPress URL-Can't login…no themeYou mean the username for your web host? That you would have to ask your web host.

In reply to: How to eliminate sidebar in postsCheck your theme options. I viewed the source code and found this comment:
<!– CHECK FOR REMOVE_SIDEBAR CUSTOM FIELD –>So this leads me to believe the theme author has provided for single column content.
The other thing you can do is go into the core.css file and add this somewhere at the top:
#right_links { display: none; }God do I hate other people’s code. That code is a mess; there’s no reason to have a gazillion stylesheets going on there. It makes simple things like this so hard to change. Anyway, HTH.

In reply to: Changed WordPress URL-Can't login…no themeIf you have access to your web host’s control panel, you can go into PHPMyAdmin and change the URL in the database itself.
But you should be able to append
/wp-adminto the URL that you typed in to change it and login that way.
