In reply to: Changing link color on a themeYou can insert it anywhere in the style sheet you want. For the sake of organization you can place it with the rest of the

In reply to: Posts displaying differently on homepageThat’s not a style sheet – it’s a PHP file. And we can’t possibly tell you what’s wrong without a link so that we can see it for ourselves.

In reply to: Changing link color on a themeSomething else you should know. The style sheet that theme uses is fairly simplistic so any changes you make to the link colour will affect ALL of the link colours site-wide. If you only want to change the colour of links in your posts you can add this to your style sheet,
.entry a{color: XXX; text-decoration: XXX;} .entry a:hover{color: XXX; text-decoration: XXX;}Obviously replace the XXX with the proper declarations. You can do the same for links ANYWERE in the site.
.sidebar a {BLAH BLAH;}will style links in the sidebar only.If you want to change the link colour of the post titles look for…
.post h2{ padding: 15px 0 0; font-weight: normal; color: #5d5f61; text-transform: uppercase; }…and add,
.post h2 a{BLAH BLAH;] .post h2 a:hover{BLAH BLAH;}and so forth.

In reply to: Post on pages works on some themes and don’t in otherDid you temporarily disable your site? I went to the link you posted and got a blank page. Viewing the source tells me you are using a meta redirect (i have meta redirects disabled) to another site, a non-wordpress site.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Is There A Forum Plug-In?There are a number of plugins available but as I don’t use them I can’t recall what they are called. If you Google terms such as “wordpress forum plugin” I’m sure you’ll find them.
A standalone option is bbPress. (from the creators of WordPress)

In reply to: [function.main]: failed to open stream ?What’s on Line 9 of page.php? Sounds like a non-existent function is being called. Is there a plugin you forgot to upload/activate with that theme?

In reply to: Show Full Post EverywhereYour theme is probably using the the_excerpt() rather than the the_content() on those pages.

In reply to: Plugin for “pull quote” or “popout box” or “promo”???@dgold – I don’t use the visual editor either. In fact I abhor the thing.
@strangeattractor – I modded core files which is something I advise against for 2 reasons:
1. If you don’t know what you’re doing you can completely f**k your site
2. Your mod will vanish the next time you upgrade.Having said that the file you’re dealing with is located at
wp-includes/js/quicktags.jsOpenquicktags.jsand at about Line 60 you’ll see…edButtons[edButtons.length] = new edButton('ed_block' ,'b-quote' ,'\n\n<blockquote>' ,'</blockquote>\n\n' ,'q' );Somewhere below that add…
edButtons[edButtons.length] = new edButton('ed_pull' ,'p-quote' ,'\n\n<blockquote class="mag">' ,'</blockquote>\n\n' ,'' );That will add the pullquote button to the toolbar.

In reply to: Plugin for “pull quote” or “popout box” or “promo”???Absolutely Dgold. You can call it whatever you want but the OP wants a way to distinguish a regular blockquote from a pullquote which is why I assigned a class.
In my own blog I modded the post toolbar and added a button to it that automagically does this.

In reply to: problem worpress installationThis is going to sound redundant but are you absolutely positive the name of the database you’re trying to connect to is halfside_wordpress and that the user halfside_phil has the proper permissions.

That’s not the same error message. Either you have the wrong username or password.
WordPress goes in the public_html directory.
