In reply to: some sidebar contents not shown in inside pagesThis has to do with the “conditional” stuff that’s actually in the sidebar. If you’re on an archive page the sidebar code is set up not to show certain things.
This part of the codex might be helpful, especially the part about variable sidebar content:

In reply to: Possible bug report Category pages 1.5.1.3No problem, vkaryl!
Anyway, it appears this paragraphing problem exists in 1.5.1.3 (dunno about versions between 1.5 and the most recent) and only when the_exerpt is called. Could someone who has more php knowledge than I do PLEASE come up with a workaround? It used to work, now it’s broken.
I also tried to post this on the bug board as a minor low priority bug fix, since it’s now known this is something that needs to be fixed in a core file and this is what I got:
“Permission DeniedThis action requires TICKET_CREATE permission. “
That coupled with the silence here from almost everyone who does WP dev makes me wonder what the h-e-doublehockeysticks is going on. I know this isn’t a security concern, or a major problem, but sheesh, it’s gotta be a really easy fix for someone who knows what they’re doing.

That’s because it’s using your index.php to “build” the archive pages now.
I ran a second test. I renamed archive.php to category.php. No paragraphing. Then I deleted archives.php off the server. No paragraphing. So I simply deleted category.php (formerly archive.php) off the server. Now I’ve got paragraphing. To further isolate where the problem is, I re-uploaded archives.php. I still have paragraphing. So the problem appears to be in the archive.php file. Now I’ve torn that damned file apart backwards and forwards and can’t figure it out. I zipped up the archive.php file and stuck it here:
http://kickasswebdesign.com/archive.zip
Could someone figure out what is in this code (or in the core) that is causing this? The only difference I can see in the loop is that index.php calls the whole post and not the exerpt.

In reply to: index.php seems to be calling a header.php that I can’t findQuestion- when you modified the theme did you change the information in the top of the css file? And, if you did, do you possibly have two themes on your server that are named the same? That might cause some confusion.
Is that your problem? I don’t know. I would suggest taking the index.html down though, that just totally confuses the issue.
Anyway, there’s a good article here that might put you on the right track finding your way around customizing a theme:

In reply to: Possible bug report Category pages 1.5.1.3I don’t have my archives set up “weekly” or “monthly”, I’d be curious to hear if the same issue is happening on those pages using the original Kubrick theme unedited and on 1.5.1.3, with or without any plug-ins.
And for the life of me I cannot see ANYTHING in that archive.php file that would cause this. There’s very little xhtml other than the occasional h2, h3 or p– it’s mostly php calls to the core files, and the calls appear to be codex-perfect, at least the ones I checked, like the call to the_exerpt.

In reply to: WordPress allowing spyware to be installed?Now that you’ve heard this on two threads, I hope you realize the problem is only in your machine, so we can get back to WP business.

In reply to: Stylesheet isn’t formattedThen you haven’t ever successfully cleaned it out. And I doubt you’re running a firewall. ZoneAlarm has a perfectly adequate free version so there’s really no reason not to. That way even if it gets on your system, it’ll be blocked from “phoning home”.

In reply to: Possible bug report Category pages 1.5.1.3I only have one plugin active, and it’s the witty thing that adds random quotes. I looked. It doesn’t remove anything.
As to it being a theme, why would multiple themes, including the kubrick theme installed on this JUST DONE INSTALL and with absolutely no edits done to it whatsoever, cause this problem in 1.5.1.3 and not in 1.5? Your logic doesn’t hold up.

In reply to: Possible bug report Category pages 1.5.1.3Update- it does the br thing with Kubrick live (only on test blog) does NOT do it with classic live. It’s currently set back to Kickass- Convergence.
Oh, I should mention, there’s only one category on the test blog, it’s called “One” and is in the horizontal navbar under the header.

In reply to: layout problems with archive pageIE has different default margin and padding values from FF. You might try zeroing that h3 out in your css (margin: 0; padding: 0;) then adding the padding back in further down in the stylesheet (make sure it’s padding and not margin, NEVER margin on top/bottom since you’ll have to deal with margin-collapse!)
Of course, it could be one of the other hundred IE css bugs . . .

In reply to: Static Page PermalinkWhen you used the admin panel to set up your permalink, did it say something like this down near the bottom of the page?
“If your .htaccess was writable we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.”If it did, then you have to create an .htaccess file in your main WordPress directory and copy/paste the info from the textbox below the statement I quoted into that new.htaccess file and save it. Some hosts don’t “show” any .htaccess or allow uploads through ftp (my host is one of them) so you have to instead use the cpanel or other filemanager access to create/update this file.

In reply to: Help with signature neededI’ve never used the theme editor. I’ve never used any editing capability in the program. I explained the way I do it that I know to work well.
Also, certain files need permissions reset to be written to anyway.

In reply to: Parent/Child Category Problemstchatterbox and kyd,
FYI, if you have FireFox installed (which you should if you’re customizing WP themes and need to test them!) and add the webdeveloper extension, you can see the css styles for any page simply by using tools/webdeveloper/css/view css
Saves SO much time, rather than trying to find the css file!
