Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Display a list of categories that have recent posts in them?Unfortunately, this is the best you can prolly hope for. If you’ve looked for plugins, then I’m out of ideas too. 🙁
show_last_updated (boolean) Should the last updated timestamp for posts be displayed (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Defaults to FALSE. * 1 (true) * 0 (false) - defaultForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Can’t get images to work on installed themeYeah it is frustrating. Frustrating to me because you have given me no tools whatsoever with which to help you. A LINK TO THE SITE … would be helpful.

In reply to: How to use pretty permalinksYou’re making it harder than it has to be. Did you go into your WP dashboard and set the permalink structure? If not, do so. If so, did you receive an error message? You should be able to, in most circumstances, be able to write to the .htaccess file from within the WP dashboard.

In reply to: Broken ThemeseYes, it does. Read what Whooami posted. You have TWO /firebug directories. There should only be one. And I’ve watched those videos and they go into detail about this very thing. Did you bother to watch at all?
I just now viewed your source code and you still have this erroneous call to your theme’s stylesheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://blog.peacockandpaisley.com/wp-content/themes/firebug/firebug/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />Oh, and I’d be willing to bet donuts to dollars that the Default and Classic themes aren’t doing this.
If you aren’t going to bother to read and take to heart VALID solutions to your problems, go away and leave us to help those who actually want help and read and follow directions.
Sheesh.

In reply to: Not Found, Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.Don’t go further back than 2.5.1, other older versions (EXCEPT 2.0.11, and I hope you aren’t going back THAT FAR!) aren’t secure.

In reply to: I went a little crazy and built 4 sites…Check out the WP Forum plugin
http://www.fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/wp-forum/
for a small, light traffic forum. The login is shared with the main WP site so there’s no annoyance of having to register for the WP site and for the forum separately. And of course, there’s always BBPress. If you opt for that, be sure to grab the WP BBPress plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
which also bridges the forum with the blog, even to the point where a blog post automatically becomes a forum topic, open for discussion on the BB Press forum.Good luck with it, and yes, I remember you. Good luck with the citizenship… 🙂

In reply to: Can wordpress do these things or should i go with Joomla?They’re using separate installs of WP in subdirectories it appears to me, which is an administrative nightmare.
You can use WPMU and have your own base site as the main site and links to the other blogs on there, all sharing the same design, plugins, etc. It seems a more elegant solution.
… each will have their own tab and post their own blogs…
This is what WPMU was designed to do, for crissakes. But what do I know, you’ve got your mind made up. Cya.

In reply to: blog post images not visible on homepage.WHAT error message do you receive when disabling that plugin? Go in via FTP and rename that specific plugin or its folder if it has one and then try. Report back any error messages you receive.
And since I left my Crystal Ball at the office, I really cannot tell you any more about your problem unless you provide a link to the misbehaving site.

In reply to: CSS (?) Problem with Sidebar in MSIEUse a conditional comment to serve up the differing CSS to IE browsers only. Read about that here:

In reply to: Looking for a Simple Gallery PluginNext Gen Gallery is the best I’ve found. You can create pages for each of your albums and so to that extent, you can customize the look of each individual album. As far as images go, that I’m not sure of. But give it a look:

In reply to: Not Found, Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.Well, clicking on the link you provide takes me here:

And all your WP Pages (e.g., About) are in the site root. If there’s no other content in the site root, why not put the blog there. (And for the love of all that is good and holy, I just don’t understand why people try to put WP in a /blog/ folder when it’s all they’ve got on their site. </rant>)

In reply to: Trouble populating manage comments list“Seems to be”? It’s either there or it isn’t. On line 142 of edit-comments.php, there’s this:
_wp_get_comment_listand no other string containingwp_get…But all this is a red herring. What error messages are you getting when you try to view/edit comments from the dashboard? Have you installed any plugins that mess around with the Admin Panel or Comments? Have you tried disabling all your plugins to see if the problem goes away? And then re-enabling them, ONE BY ONE, and CHECKING AFTER EACH, to see which plugin might be problematic?
You don’t have to know PHP, but you should be able to provide enough information on this forum so that people who want to help you can.

In reply to: Can wordpress do these things or should i go with Joomla?WPMU? http://mu.wordpress.org/
Amen. WP blogs get hacked. Servers get hacked. Do you really want some idiot running around loose with your sensitive information? You may as well post it on the bathroom wall of your favorite local pub.
If you have a cPanel account, just create a text file of that information and put it in the NON-PUBLIC area of your web site. Then login to cPanel and view that file. Seems to be that’s the best you can hope for but I’m no security expert. Whoo? What about this idea?

In reply to: I went a little crazy and built 4 sites…redhousepainter, you really went crazy, huh? You have a nice start of a web design portfolio there. Each is different and shows off your design skills. Each design seems to fit the subject of the site. I like that the political “photo blog” has a minimalist design so that it takes a back seat to the content. I agree about the “image” tag. Simply remove it as a tag since, as Dgold pointed out, it’s restating the obvious.
As for the critters site, I am wondering why you aren’t using the NextGen Gallery plugin for your albums. It’s very powerful. I too used to use Zen Photo as a companion to my WP sites, but once I found NGG, I never looked back, plus it’s just easier to maintain your site when everything is at your fingertips. 🙂
Here’s a link to the plugin if you want to check it out:
