In reply to: Upload Error 101When testing, all directories were 777. That’s what is puzzling me. I am assuming that it has to do with the permissions/restrictions on the web server, vs. WordPress

In reply to: Get Parent PagesYou would probably make a series of if/else statements like follows:
<?php $this_category = get_category($cat); $post = $wp_query->post; if (in_category('22')) { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/header-home.php'); } elseif ( in_category('9')) { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/header-about.php'); } else { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/header-generic.php'); } }; ?>You would place this in your
header.phpfile and then place the other filesheader-home.php,header-about.php, andheader-generic.phpin your theme directory.Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Who has an Event Calendar?EC3 is a great plugin and can be adjusted through editing the CSS for the calendar. If you know your CSS, and PHP you should be able to customize this easily and quickly.

In reply to: Only showing a snippet of old entriesYou can control this through your templates using
the_excerpt();which displays first 50 characters or so. Or you can removethe_content();of the desired template (not recommended unless WordPress and PHP handy).There is also a plugin called iMP Limiter available here http://www.inmypad.com/2006/12/wordpress-plugins-imp-limiter/

In reply to: Dynamic Sub-CategoryThis has been resolved.
<?php get_header(); ?> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php $this_category = get_category($cat); $post = $wp_query->post; if (in_category('22')) { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/calendar.php'); } elseif ($this_category->category_parent == 0) { get_parent_category(); } else { if ( in_category('9')) { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/members.php'); } else { get_child_category(); } }; ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Validation problem with »These “»” need to be replaced with the character code
óeverywhere that you are using them. This is probably being written either directly in a post via copy/paste or being placed in by your template (if it was modified).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I create blog.mysite.com?You’re referring to a subdomain. Unfortunately this is not handled through WordPress directly (although you need to let WordPress know what is going on). Accomplishing this depends on who you host your site through, what your package includes (grid server, dedicated server or basic hosting). Calling or looking in the ‘knowledge base’ of your hosting provider would be the quickest way to get this type of thing set up.
Once you have the techincal worked out with your hosting company, you need to place your blog in that directory (subdomain) and then login to WordPress > Options > General and change where your blog is pointing to.

In reply to: Want Guests To Be Able To Post On PagesI am assuming you do not wish to use comments. This in mind, when a user registers you can set there default role to contributor, this would then give users of your site the ability to create there own posts, and view others (not edit), and have control over their profile.
