In reply to: page template loopAnd you can use conditional tags to create different headers for different pages. Read about that in the Codex:
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: page template loopYou are using WP in a perverse manner. WP handles 404 requests anyway, and it uses index.php (the one that’s in your theme folder, not the one in the WP root) for posts/pages, etc. Posts should NEVER be on page.php, that’s what index.php is for.
If you need a custom home page, create a template called main.php, welcome.php or something, then use that for your home page. Use index.php for your blog posts, and keep page.php for pages. Does this make sense?

In reply to: How the change where the url of categories point to.Well I’m wondering what the point is of bypassing WP’s category pages for those categories. I mean, what will those “completely new pages” contain if not category posts? This will help me understand better how to help you. Because there are ways (plugins and template coding) to create an external URL to another page not w/in WordPress…

In reply to: How to make each category have its own page?That depends on what you want. In your category.php template (which is what drives the category page display), provided it exists, you can specify the_content or the_excerpt. And in fact, you can, on a category-by-category basis, do this. All you have to do is append the category id to the category template file. For example, if you have a category called Rants, and its ID is 3, you can create a custom category page just for Rants, and name it category-3.php. Then style it however you like. Make sense?

In reply to: (some) dates missingCan I get a link to at least one of the blog sites? Look in your index.php file in your theme and make sure the date code is there; your comment “just not populated into the containing element” leads me to believe you have more than one loop going there perhaps?

In reply to: Directory exposed :(((((I also like to drop an index.html file into directories where I don’t want folks snooping around … like this. (Pulp Fiction fans might get a chuckle out of it.)
http://pixelita.com/temp/It’s not an actual 403: Forbidden page, just an index.html file that I drop into my directories.

In reply to: Show author only once?Did you ever find a solution? I think I may need something similar here in the next few weeks.

In reply to: HELP! My WordPress site has been hackedYou should *always* notify your web host, especially if you are in a shared hosting environment. Do not delete any files from your server until your host has had a chance to examine them. Or better still, ZIP them up and send them to your host with a trouble/support ticket.
Often, it’s not YOUR site through which the hacker gained access. On a shared server, you are only as secure as the most lax person using the space so …. it could have been anyone’s account on that server that allowed the hacker access. But as always, to be safe, change ALL your account passwords.
And YES, TransPersonal‘s recommendation to change the default database prefix is excellent advice and one more way to lock down your WP installation. 🙂
Good luck.

In reply to: Linkedin ApplicationI think it’s asking for the Feed URL, not the blog URL. If you have pretty permalinks turned on, that should be: http://www.justpmblog.com/feed/
HTH.

In reply to: upgrading to 2.8.2What are you upgrading FROM? That’s very important. I wrote a tutorial to help folks upgrading from 2.0.11 to 2.8.x. That should help you on your way.

In reply to: Different headers on each pageWherever you have your banners that you want swapped out. Those are usually in the header.php file.

In reply to: CSS screwed up my link– help– and Image LinksCan’t help you if I can’t see the site at issue or the CSS. Just post the link to the site. Most of use Firefox dev tools to view the HTML and CSS so there isn’t a need to post that.

In reply to: How make category page act like a blog@thejestingfool: you really should open a new thread and repost your question.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How make category page act like a blogLook in your category.php file (or if you’ve set up a specific template for it, the category-x.php file, where “x” is the category ID), for something along the lines of this:
<?php single_cat_title(); ?>It should be easy to see what you need to cut from the template.
HTH.
