Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Image doesn’t upload in WP2.02I use the Image Manager Plugin for my clients. They seem to like that it’s really easy, intuitive and the setup is clear and concise. You can also turn off the WP default upload and just use the IM upload, which is nice and works wonderfully. Plugin here:

In reply to: Bulletproof Theme?I’ve got a question– what in hell are you putting in those columns?
I imagine the themes you’re trying work at least okay out of the box or they wouldn’t have been released (though unfortunately there is an occasional exception to that rule.) If you put something that’s 180 pixels wide into a column that is 160 pixels wide, the column’s most likely gonna drop no matter how well made the theme is.

In reply to: password protected posts appearing in search engines?Umm, change your name? Sell the domain name to someone else quickly so your name isn’t on the whois? Bribe goog and the other search engines and web cache sites with HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY to remove your pages from their archive? Disguise yourself? Move to a place where the internet isn’t? Hide the razor blades?
Good luck.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Theme requestSounds like you’ll have to customize something that’s close to what you want. Usually the header is defined that way, so if you just yank out the code for the header div in the template you might be there.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: GoDaddy “Economy Plan” and WPI don’t use wsftp, but most ftp programs you highlight the file you wanna chmod and right click on the mouse. You should be able to see either “chmod” or “permissions” or “file attributes” or somesuch. You might wanna print out a number-to-read/write/execute chart so you know what 777 is since each program handles that stuff differently, and so do the install directions on programs (I really wish they’d all be consistent!)

In reply to: Categorised posts not showing up on archives.php templateSidebar code looks okay. Did you change anything in header.php? Like in the head section of the html?

In reply to: WP 2.0 – Printed Page is NOT in Position…oh, forgot to mention, when you do get a theme made with a print.css you need to call both the regular stylesheet and the print one in different ways via a media statement. For instance, <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”printstyle.css” type=”text/css” media=”print” /> where the regular style.css is called with an attribute media=”screen”. You can probably find more info if you google “print css”

In reply to: WP 2.0 – Printed Page is NOT in Position…I don’t know of any themes that come with a print.css. However, if you’re clever, the Ruthsarian Layouts usually do, and can be themed, if this is really important to you.

In reply to: Instead of Exerpts or posts can I display just post titles?Thanks, I’ll try it and report back tomorrow.

In reply to: Categorised posts not showing up on archives.php templateIt would help if you posted the template code, then we could see what you left out. And you must have left something out.

In reply to: WP 2.0 – Printed Page is NOT in Position…Most times for print you need to create a print.css to handle printing, especially if your theme is using a floated layout.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Which template is the easiest to customize?If you use someone’s theme that they did a lotta hard work on, the least you can do is link back, even if you did change it.
Re a sidebar, it depends on if the coding is there for one to be there. If you just add the html/php code and there isn’t a corresponding entry in the stylesheet when you open the browser you’ll be seeing Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride instead of a coherent layout.

In reply to: MAC vs. PCdavidchait, that’s true of geeks who know how to do those kinds of things, but I’m a webdesigner who has to assume that 95% of the people out there who look at sites I design don’t even know they *have* options they can change in the browser or opsys they use (IE6, the broken browser OR Safari, the sometimes bizarre browser) . . . so though I have the gamma set in my main desktop pc, I don’t in the mac I use for testing, nor in the pc laptop I use for testing.
tmarfuta, you might find this helpful while you’re debugging:

It’s a mac screenshot generator. Though it’s not going to point up all problems (like the time a transparent div was covering my links in IEMac and they didn’t work!) for little spacing issues and suchlike this can do the trick. I used to use it before I bought my mac. Also you might try this search in Google:site:archivist.incutio.com Safari border
“Safari border” are the keywords, you can plug in others. This is the archive for the css-discuss maillist, where these types of problems are routinely routed.

In reply to: WP 2.0 – Default Theme – Current Theme Options – MESSED UPUmm, in future you might wanna NOT edit it through the admin. Edit the css file locally, KEEPING A BACKUP so if you screw up you can revert it to the original. Upload the edited version and test drive. If it borks, upload the backup and try again.
You might also keep in mind that sidebar changes in WP 2.0.X can sometimes have dire consequences in certain css layouts. It isn’t in the css, it’s in how WP interacts with it (if xhtml/css works in a static page and same xhtml/css does not work in WP 2.0, then it’s not an xhtml/css problem.)
