Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: pingbacks and trackbacks, reduxI always get trackback and pingback mixed up so remember that as you read.
For the record, in 1.5.x a trackback will automatically work if you just link a post permalink in your blog entry. To get a trackback to a 2.0 blog to work you MUST use the trackback url for some reason (why??? it used to work fine! why was this changed???) That’s the permalink with /trackback/ appended on the end. Now, I’m sure there are still problems with some server configs, but this worked when I trackedback to a 2.0 ryan update blog from a 1.5.x blog.
I found this out quite by accident. I hope it helps some of you. And I hope whoever opened that ticket reads this and adds it to the ticket, since the old way was MUCH better. Most people who have used 1.5.x aren’t always going to remember that the /trackback/ is now necessary.

In reply to: File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another.Okay, I agree that if you did it in the past it’s probably not your host (though certainly you could email them and ask them to be sure.) There have been a lot of problems reported with uploads in 2.0. I refer you to these threads which I found through google by entering “site:wordpress.org/support/ 2.0 file upload” since the forum search is still broken.

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/53357?replies=18My suggestion is that a plugin is the way to go, since plugins don’t screw with corefiles that would be affected in an upgrade, and with the mess that exists in version 2.0 there is sure to be an upgrade (hopefully one that addresses the numerous 2.0 issues brought up on these boards– IF you can find them.) Hope that helps!

In reply to: Can 2.0 use 1.5 themesHeck, who can keep up with the dang versions in this place? Let’s say 1.5.X and 2.0 with ryan updates(the one that works)

In reply to: Dreamweaver and CSSWell, not everyone works the way I do. I found that out when I posted on the css-d list to a question on how people create their xhtml/css layouts, and I answered that I do the entire css file in toto before I ever put a single piece of xhtml down. And usually it’s pretty much nailed at that point, other than spacing and (I-Freaking-E) debugging. The html is painful for me since I’m already mentally way past it, if that makes sense.
And thanks for the kudos (again!) You’ll be delighted to know I plan to release a couple more themes in the next couple weeks, workload permitting . . . one is gonna be teenage girly fun, the other broody goth artiste. The layouts are already pretty much done(one for real, one mentally) and if I can just get a COUPLETHREE hours away from the paying work I’ll have them wrapped. Of course every time I say that someone else throws money at me . . . *sigh*

In reply to: Can 2.0 use 1.5 themesI’ve been testing my themes on both testbeds I have set up on my blog, one is 1.5.3 and one is 2.0. Not one has faltered. I’d say that probably most good, well-coded themes will transition just fine.

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Dreamweaver and CSSI work in DW and I don’t run a local test server. I warn you though, I never use wysiwyg since it sucks for css sites. Just a suggestion– I create a static html page with a corresponding css file (called style.css for ease of transition) and then “slice” it up using comments to delineate the areas that correspond to the WP template files. Then I add in the changes I made to the html file into the template section by section. The css file just needs then to have the “blog” stuff added and styled. Upload, test drive, tweak and done! I’ve done probably 40 or 50 themes this way.

In reply to: Can’t Upload Files/ImagesFor the record, having folders a chmod 777 is a very insecure practice, and one that has been brought to the attention of the developers more than once. It is a much safer practice to simply upload images via ftp and link to them or use a plugin to do so. There are some fine ones out there.

In reply to: Only one catagory showingI’m sorry if this sounds elementary, but it does bear mentioning, just in case. Category doesn’t show if there are no posts in it.

In reply to: Trouble with tablesIf you’re using WP 2.0 and the WYSIWYG editor, try turning that editor off. Go into admin/options/writing and uncheck the box where it says, “Users should use the visual rich editor by default”
You may also need to use “advanced” in the better editor.
That is I would look up that tag in the codex IF IT WASN’T THROWING 500 SERVER ERRORS AGAIN! *sigh*
Oh and I’d search for more info on the forum but we all know what THAT will get me now, don’t we?
I had to check the “anyone can register” box because there was NO PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO REGISTER, so no one could register and then leave comments with the registration required box checked. When the registration required box was checked it said “you have to log in to post a comment” whether someone had registered or not- and since there was no WAY to register, it means that only those who were signed up through admin could post comments and only when logged in.
Does that make sense now?
I’ll look at(for) that tag, and thank you for that. My templates are based on Kubrick as a code basis, and I’ve had sites in the past that required registration that I didn’t have a problem with (though they were all running on 1.5.x). I suspect it’s there, but it doesn’t hurt to check.
Some additional explanation– When this box is checked in Options/General “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” it doesn’t have a link to any registration form whatsoever, like 1.5.X used to.
Unchecking that box does allow comments to work, but then there is no registration option, which is what the client wants.
Just what I said. Permalinks work wonderfully. Comments don’t seem to work. Trackbacks don’t seem to work.
