In reply to: Saved post not showing in preview paneI don’t know if this helps, but not only will the post preview report a 404 page not found error, but I get a 404 page not found error when trying to manually preview the post as a full web page, not from within the Write Post panel. Even if the post is saved, but not published.
If published, I see it on my blog but still get a 404 error result in the post preview section when editing the post.

In reply to: Saved post not showing in preview paneI’m having the same problem. I’ve searched through the forum and can’t find a consistent answer, other than to blame plugins which I do not have installed. I think something is messing up with permalinks, as some mentioned changing the URL from
example.comtow w w . example.combut that isn’t working for me either.Sorry for the w w w but it seems new spam detection stuff or filters are killing off URLs even in backticks. ugh.
Any other ideas?

In reply to: RSS feed for each categoryThis is brilliant, though the spit out didn’t include commas. Just a mashed together space-less line of categories. I’ve been digging through tons of code and can’t find how to include the commas. Fixy, please! 😉
Thanks so much! I’ve been poking at this for months without success. And you were right. I should have been more clear about the use being in the Loop on a single post (in the post meta data section). Thanks!

In reply to: RSS feed for each categoryThis is interesting but not quite what I’m looking for. I need a list of the category specific feeds associated with that post. The categories the post is filed in.
Suggestions?

In reply to: automatic google translationFYI, these translate your blog instantly, not permanently. Search engines don’t see the translation, so this is for the benefit of the visitor so they can switch from English, or whatever language your blog is in, to read your post in another language.

In reply to: How to prevent google from indexing trackback urls?If you put that in your
header.phpin theheadsection, no search engine robot will look at your site – period. If you want to stay out of the search engines, then do that.I believe that trackbacks already have
rel="nofollow"in their links. View the source of a post with trackbacks and search fornofollowto see if it is there. And make sure you have the latest version of WordPress.You shouldn’t have to do anything.
For more on nofollow and how it works in WordPress, see Nofollow.

In reply to: How do I change Excerpt To Content And What file is it in ?I don’t know changing your excerpt to content has to do with Adsense. If your WordPress Theme uses excerpts on the front page, then open the
index.phptemplate file and look for the template tag that featuresthe_excerpt()and change that tothe_content().If your Theme doesn’t feature the excerpt template tag, then go to your administration panel Options > Reading and set the option for full post or summary to full post.

In reply to: Need help modifying the main template…Are you familiar with CSS? Well, you can find all this information in Post Meta Data Section in the WordPress Codex, explaining how to set post meta data like this, anywhere you want it.
There is also a very helpful article on Playing With Fonts.

In reply to: Database newbie… beginner’s guide?What you need is a plugin or PHP script that will create a new table with this information in it, like a score card, and then allow you to pull the information out of it.
Or you just make a table on a Page and update it manually, which could be faster.
Just search the net for PHP scripts for score keeping or reference, something like that.
I vote for doing it manually. It will take longer to figure out and setup such a program.
<table>
<tr><td>Name</td><td>Team</td><td>Year</td><td>Achivement</td><td>Race</td></tr>
<tr><td>Armstrong</td><td>Discovery</td><td>2005</td><td>First Place</td><td>Tour de France</td></tr>
...etc.
</table>This is a really really simple version, but you just put in the info and save the page, instant update.
Otherwise, you will have to have an interface, setup the tables, forms, and…go manual.
If you are serious about this, you might have to hire someone to set it up for you.

In reply to: How does WordPress send categories as tags to Technorati?WordPress does it automatically when you save the post. Anything that has a
rel="tag"is recognized as a tag. That is what “pinging” is.Don’t worry. If you are listed with Technorati, Technorati will find you and your tags, if you have them within your post.
If you want to add more, then there are various plugins that will help you add them to your site like Ultimate Tag Warrior and Ben O’Neill’s WP Tag Plugin.
Once in a while, consider going to your Account on Technorati and clicking the “ping me” link, but don’t worry about WordPress. There is nothing for you do to. It does it for you.

In reply to: Please help to track down errorsYour problems are multi-fold.
First, the WYSIWYG editor is probably giving you a few of the lost paragraph tags. Check the line numbers and track them down to fix them and determine what it is you are doing that make those happen. WYSIWYG editors are still not very perfect.
Your template files has some problems in the
sidebar.phptemplate. The nested list is a common problem in the sidebar and with careful scrutiny, and the WordPress Codex article on Styling Lists with CSS, you can figure that out.The plugin you are using for Weather has more problems. Turn that off and your problems there will go away. I know a lot of people enjoy that, but honestly, how important is the weather where you are to people in Russia or England reading your site? Do they care? Is your site about the weather? Don’t think so? Maybe you don’t need to clutter and the time it will take to track down those errors.
Errors in your web pages are kinda like dominos. One lost tag and the rest look borked because the browser is still hunting for that one closed tag. Find that missing part and the rest of the errors will go away.
And avoid using inline styles like the
text-align:centerin the DIVs. Set that in yourstyle.cssstyle sheet in the appropriate DIV reference.You only have 19 errors. Be thrilled with that. I’ve seen pages with hundreds of errors – so many, the checker stopped checking. Many of these are caused by the little missing tag in your sidebar. Fix that and test again.

In reply to: Sidebar does not appear on post pagesThere are tons of posts about this. If you wish to stick with that particular WordPress Theme, then you will have to edit the template files to include the sidebar, but it is more complicated than that. You will also have to change the template files and CSS to accomodate this new space.
The template file to change, as Jaseone mentioned, is called
single.phpand you will have to either change the CSS reference towidecolumntonarrowcolumn, emulating theindex.phptemplate file for the content area, or go into the CSSstyle.cssstyle sheet file and change the width ofwidecolumnto matchnarrowcolumnwidth.You will also need to add the
get_sidebar()command per the example in yourindex.phptemplate.See, changing Themes might be easier. 😉
