In reply to: How to display page title, not the post title.How have you “linked” the page? My suggestion is to make the change in the template itself until I can learn more about how you set this up.

In reply to: Earthlink server changeDid your host make a backup of your MySQL database before the update or did you? You may want to look into a plugin called WP Backup which backs up your MySQL database (which is the heart and soul of WordPress and contains all your posts, pages, comments, etc.).

In reply to: Export whole blog to PDF problemsIt’s more of a PITA to try to convert to Word or PDF. Seriously. But it depends on what you want to do with the data that you are trying to preserve. In its *.sql state, it is preserved and somewhat accessible.
I’ve never done this, but depending on how many entries you have, you may want to set the “Blog pages show at most [*] posts” to one number higher than the number of posts you have. For example, if your blog has 487 posts, set that value
[*]to 487 or 488. Then load that bad boy into FireFox, grab the “ScreenGrabber” Firefox extension, and click Save Entire Page — either as a JPG or PNG file. Then you can load that into Adobe Acrobat and convert it to PDF. If you have the Pro version, you can also OCR it (make the text renderable for coping and pasting). Otherwise, you have a preserved image. BUT I’d go ahead and download the *.sql anyway, you just never know when you might need that. 🙂I don’t know how you’d get it into Word and I wouldn’t recommend that anyway.
If you want to send me a message offlist (check my profile for my email address), I can run your JPG or PNG through Adobe Acrobat Pro, convert it to PDF and OCR it for you. 🙂

In reply to: Max upload file sizeThat’s generally set by your web host and quite a few limit to 8MB. You can ask them to increase that for you. You cannot set this in the wp-config.php file. You can try to override your server settings using php.ini, but the best route is to ask them to increase it for you to 16MB or even 32MB.

In reply to: Export whole blog to PDF problemsOh, and the other thing you’ll want to do is FTP the contents of your /wp-content/uploads/ file. That’s where your images are stored. Then once those are on your hard drive, you can compress them with whatever Mac compression software you use. Doesn’t Mac use tarball or gzip?

In reply to: Export whole blog to PDF problemsPersonally, I’d export the database itself. Use the WP-Backup plugin. This will download the MySQL file (which is the heart and soul of your WP install) to your hard drive or to an email address you designate. Easy peasy. Then don’t lose that *.sql file. If you ever want to set your blog up again, you’ll have everything.
Download the plugin here:

In reply to: Help skipping top title/header on all postsFirefox, right? I hate that caching behavior. I have mine turned off (in the browser address bar, type about:config, search for http: and find where it talks about caching pages and double-click to change value to false/no.

In reply to: Help skipping top title/header on all postsIn addition to that, you’ll need to use the name anchor where you want the user to start reading. I imagine that would be the title of the post?
Wherever in your single.php template you want the user to be taken, add this:
<a name="breadcrumbs"></a>It’s this HTML code, which has been around forever, that is at work here:

In reply to: adding pages without them being in the nav bar??Not sure what you are trying to do. Are you trying to exclude pages from the navigation area? There is a plugin called “Exclude Pages From Navigation” that does this nicely. It’s handy for pages such as “Privacy Policy” or “Legal Notices” that you can just drop in your footer but don’t necessarily want in your page navigation.
I don’t understand what you mean when you say you still want “graphics linking to new pages.”
You should probably reinstall your theme files as you seem to have hosed your header.php file. Has no one told you to always MAKE A COPY before performing surgery on any file?

In reply to: Export whole blog to PDF problemsDoesn’t Acrobat have a way to create a PDF from an URL? I have Acrobat Pro 7 and it does this, although it takes some tweaking to get the results you want.
