In reply to: What’s the best webhost for wordpressI’m also using Dreamhost. It’s all working nicely for me (though I got in before they increased the set-up charge). They offer a lot for the money, and I’m quite happy with how it’s going so far. I don’t expect to be taking them up on the 91 day money back offer!
One of the features I like is their extensive knowledge base, which has solved at least one annoying problem for me.

In reply to: Introducing WP-Amazon PluginYup. There is an update out now.
See this post from earlier today.

In reply to: I need to change my Word Press password cause a phisher has got it!I see a blog running what would appear to be an alpha of WordPress 1.5, using the default theme. They have download links to wordpress.org, and an article or two about WordPress 1.5.
If you tried to log on to someone else’s blog, you will presumably have got an “invalid password” or some such message.

In reply to: wp-amazon with new static pagesThere is an update for wp-amazon now available. Just given it a quick test, and yes, it does work with 1.5. Woo and indeed hoo :-).

In reply to: wp-grins for 1.5 ?WP-Grins works for me….
For the post form, edit wp-admin/admin-functions.php, find “edToolbar” and add this code:if (function_exists("wp_grins")) { echo "
"; wp_grins(); }just after it.
And it’s just a matter of adding
<?php wp_grins(); ?>to comments.php where you want the smilies to appear.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: wp-amazon with new static pagesHmmm. wp-amazon isn’t working for me any more, either. Had it working with 1.5-gamma, but it’s failing with 1.5 Strayhorn. Pops up an empty window, which makes finding the cause difficult.
I see a couple of people have commented on Rich’s site[1], so I guess it’s just a matter of waiting for a fix…
[1] I tried to, but got an error message, so Rich probably has other priorities at the moment

In reply to: ownership of uploaded filesYou need to contact your host about this.

In reply to: Which gallery/photo plugins do work in 1.5 LonghornI use Exhibit 1.5d – available here.
It works without any real issues, but if your host is running PHP as CGI (as Dreamhost do), you will need a minor fix, as mentioned here.

In reply to: Losing it[1] – moved to 1.5Ah. I should have worded that better. *The* new version of Nicer Categories is available, and is required. Unless you like all your category links giving 404s, of course.

In reply to: Header Errors (no extra white space, I swear)For Exhibit, you might find this useful (a user[1] contribution to Dreamhost’s really quite useful[2] KnowledgeBase)
In exhibit10.php, there is a block of code near the very beginning (line 46) that says:$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']=
...
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);Remove that whole block and replace it with:
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL'];
Before I found that, I couldn’t get Exhibit to appear in the admin interface

In reply to: Losing it[1] – moved to 1.5Notes to self:
1) Having a page whose permalink points to an actual folder isn’t a good idea[1]
2) A new version of Nicer Categories is needed for 1.5/
[1] Easily fixed, but had me scratching my head for a bit

In reply to: WordPress is not filling in HTACCESS FileLooks like it might be similar to this topic.
Looks like nobody else had the same issue, so no solution was forthcoming. As I was moving hosts, I took the opportunity to restructure things and redirect the root of the site to what is now the blog address.[1]
[1] This involved some fun with editing the db, which I did be exporting, then using TextPad for some global replacing 🙂

In reply to: I can’t edit my pages in 1.5You need to go into “write” – there should be two options – “Write Post” (which you should be familiar with) and “Write Page”, which is where you can create a new page.
The Manage section won’t show anything until you’ve saved at least one page from the “Write” section.
