In reply to: customizing search results pagesIf the blix theme is similar to kubrick you need to open search.php and change the call for the post to a call for the excerpt. More info here:

In reply to: Installation – Second Step.It sounds like WP isn’t accessing the database you set up. Check that wp-config.php file and make sure all the details about your database are correct. Check your host’s manual and make sure that “localhost” is the correct way for your programs to access the database (it is 90% of the time, but on certain hosts it isn’t.)
If that isn’t it, then maybe you didn’t “add user to database” when you created the database?

In reply to: Do any of you use this as a CMSNo problem using it as a cms. Use a “Page” as the homepage, with the plugin to do that, customize the theme, and even use a special template for the homepage to differentiate it from the rest of the site.
I’d suggest reading source code in your last bunch of posts. Or, conversely, validate back through the last bunch of posts in a backward way by date. That might show you which post it’s in then you can simply edit that post in html mode and find the culprit.

In reply to: Spam? Read this.Do be aware that on some installations MANY of these plugins shut the native moderation option OFF. This means that the spam that does get through goes directly onto your blog.
This spam problem should be dealt with at core level, and without making us jump through api registration hoops to get it. Textpattern doesn’t seem to have this problem . . .

In reply to: *wordpress site* search fixed???Well,it seems to be working at least a LITTLE better now. Though relevancy is still marginal at best, at least it’s not pulling offsite links now.
Too bad, I was looking forward to blogging this on my site today . . . next time it’s broken I won’t wait, so it might be best to ensure it doesn’t get broke again 🙂
After all, the community deserves a working support search.

In reply to: *wordpress site* search fixed???Thank you, podz. The first one did help.
Though I noticed even then that a lot of the returns are to totally unrelated things and many are off the site entirely. If I’m looking for support for *wordpress* and want to search wordpress.org documentation and forum SPECIFICALLY, I do not want returns from somewhere else diluting the returns that might actually be helpful. Whoever “fixed” this needs to take another look. This is not what one would expect from a site that is supposed to be producing a superior web ap.

In reply to: error message not allowing me blog accessYou have an error in one of the theme files. Probably in the sidebar you messed with, though if it’s line 31 that sounds more likely to be the header.php. Since we know you are smart and made a backup of your theme before you changed it, you simply have to delete the corrupted one and upload the backup.
If you didn’t create a backup, then just go into admin and activate another one, and leave that one active until you’ve sorted yours out.

In reply to: Author name?You’re welcome!
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Main PageAre you talking about editing themes? Or the actual core files?
themes are in /wp-content/themes/
Maybe you should tell us what you’re trying to do. Are you installing and need to work with wp-config.php? Are you trying to edit the theme? Or is it a plugin you’re asking about?
And how do you propose to edit whatever it is? From within the wordpress admin? or locally?

In reply to: Author name?Put this in your template within the loop where you want the author name to show up:
<?php the_author() ?>You’ll want it in the single.php file, and possibly the index.php and page.php.

In reply to: Unable to upload picsThe Image Manager Plugin. It does everything the 2.0.x interface is supposed to do for images and doesn’t. Also, it doesn’t require you to run with your whole wp-content folder insecurely chmodded. I install it for all my clients since I know I’ll have less after-installation questions if I do.

In reply to: Main PageJust don’t make the directory. Upload it without making the directory. In most cases it will be inside either /www/ or /public_html/ though if you’re on a windoze server I guess it could be different, never worked on one of those, thank the Big Kahuna!

In reply to: Dagon Design Form Mailer Plugin – Version 4!I managed to shut down the captcha (didn’t get it working)– but the script doesn’t mail, just sends you back to the post page– with all the info gone. FYI, the server is PHP as CGI. Most things written in php work, some don’t. This one doesn’t.
