Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: coming from Moveable Type🙂 That should be really interesting because of the fragmented nomenclature of your MT. I would suggest running both in parallel till the search engines have picked up enough of your WordPress blog. Good luck!
Here are some good .htaccess resources:

In reply to: Let’s Do A Little Walk-Thru!Look in the “foreplay” folder and see if you can find a wp-config.php file. If you see it, delete it manually. Now make sure that in the same “foreplay” folder there is a file called wp-config-sample.php. If that file does not exist, upload a new one from a fresh wordpress installation zip file.
Now, using your web browser, visit
http://www.mydomain.com/foreplay/wordpress-1.0.2/wp-admin/install-config.php
again.
If you still get the same error as above, find the wp-config-sample.php file in your “foreplay” folder and download it to your computer. Rename it as wp-config.php. Now open it to edit it and change the following values in that file:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘database_name’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘database_username’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘database_password’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘database_host’); // Where your database is hosted
// If you do not have an existing WordPress install, dont change the next line
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
Save the file and then upload to the “foreplay” folder.
Now, using your browser again, visit this site(with your domain name of course):
http://www.mydomain.com/foreplay/wordpress-1.0.2/wp-admin/install.php
Let us know how it goes then.

In reply to: coming from Moveable Type@atmasphere: I did not see permalinks to your entries. The only permalinks I found were the category permalinks which you could easily redirect using a modified .htaccess file. G****e is very good at understanding and following redirects and relinkage.
Very interesting blog, BTWForum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Reinier.bizI like the style. Narrow posts div, but still very tasteful use of the background. Graphics are nice as well!

In reply to: Help! – Threaded CommentsChrissy: You have missed something again. I would say you missed the main function. Make sure dodos_thread() goes before anything else in my-hacks.php

In reply to: Help! – Threaded CommentsChrissy,
Sorry it took me this long to get to your problem, I was out of town. It looks like (unless you took it down) you do not have the complete hack in place and are missing the stuff that goes into your index.php file. Look for something like “Reply to this comment…”
The way this hack works is to reply to a particular comment you have to click on the “reply to comment” link and the javascript creates the correct code.
HTH,

In reply to: Comment Spam@pods: the blacklist and the CVS comment moderation use the same principles, but are not the same hack. The blacklist is a little more comprehensive but it also stops a lot of good comments from being posted because of the large number of regular expressions. If you have not installed the hack already, I would copy and paste the list of domains from blacklist.txt into the form in wp-admin.

In reply to: Thumbnails and Images wrapped in text.The float hack is relatively simple. You can find it here (adds a couple of buttons to your admin interface)

You might have to change it a bit to suit WordPress 1.0+ but use a similar idea.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Multiple Blogs?Out of the box it is only capable of allowing all users to blog to the same page. That is, you can have as many users as you want, but their blog entries will only show up on the main page (and not on seperate blog pages).
In order to achieve your goal, you will have to do some custom editing of the scripts. The forums have some tutorials and scripts which might allow you to do that.
You can have multiple databases (or just different prefixes within one database) and multiple folders for more than one user, to get a new blog for each person.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: AutoUpdate LiveJournal HackThere is an update to this script. Same download location as above, but features listed here:

In reply to: Wiki / Static Pages hack for WordPressI have shown you my way of using this page. I would really appreciate examples of how people are using this hack. The community and people wanting to use this could really benefit from that.
