Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 2 default categories?Quick answer: no.
Long answer:…..still no.If you are familiar with PHP programming and really want to dig into the core files, I’m sure you could put in something that would force two defaults, but then you still would have to unclick one every time you post, instead of unclicking the default and clicking the one you want. And when you get 42 categories, then you will be wishing that NO default was set because you are tired of clicking twice.
Ah, it’s a mess no matter which way you look at it.
If you use Press It bookmarklet, no categories are selected.

In reply to: How do i use trackbacks on my blogJust so we are talking about the same thing, from Introduction to Blogging this is the explanation for trackbacks:
TrackBack was designed to provide a method of notification between websites: it is a method of person A saying to person B, “This is something you may be interested in.” To do that, person A sends a TrackBack ping to person B.
They are usually turned on by default, so there isn’t much for you to do. But if they are not working, in the Administration Panel > Options > Discussion, check the box that says “Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)”. Trackbacks are then turned on.
That’s it.
And every post you make won’t be trackbacked. Only posts that other people make about your posts will get a trackback. There are articles and plugins that will also help you separate your trackbacks from your comments, but that’s a different issue.

In reply to: Can I change ‘Pages” headingThere is a great article on the Codex, the online manual for WordPress, that describes how to change all the little parts and pieces in your sidebar: http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar
Open
sidebar.phpin your theme and look for the title “Pages” and change it. That’s pretty much it. It is usually in anh2tag. But the article will give you more specifics.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Template Button Customization/LinkingYou have to go into your
header.phpand change those links to match them, manually. The alternative is to use the template tag for listing pages at http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pagesAnd I don’t know about “every time” but yes, every time you change themes if that theme doesn’t use the wp_list_pages() template tag, you will have to make the change manually.
You can also set them totally manually and info is at http://codex.wordpress.org/Linking_Posts_Pages_and_Categories

I believe it specifies how to limit the number of asides, depending upon what you are using. There are several plugins and techniques.

In reply to: Change “Site Admin” to something else on sidebar?mizmamamhaze: It sounds like YOU are talking about a template file called
sidebar.php. This discussion is about changing the wording in the Administration Panels not on the site itself. Just for clarity.If you are talking about the sidebar, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar
If you are talking about changing the Administration Panels, follow the instructions listed above but know this:
1) You are messing with the core programming files of WordPress. Slip of the finger and they are toast and we will see you back here needing more help to get your Admin running again.
2) The next time you upgrade WordPress, all changes will be replaced and you will have to go back in and make these changes again.
3) It is SERIOUSLY recommended/advised/wished that people do not change the core programming files in WordPress. There are plugins and Admin Themes which can do the job for you without changing the core programming files, though in this case, there might not be a specific plugin that would help, but you can learn about plugins and write one that will make the change.
The terms “meta” and “login” are found in your sidebar, so that’s my assumption.

In reply to: Issue w/passwords, siteurl, cookiesThe issue is probably complicated by the cross domain names. Passwords and cookies tend to be in the root directory.
Try researching how to handle passwords, cookie, and so on with .htaccess rewrites and redirects. Your installation of WordPress is very specialized and your issue is kinda outside of the WordPress parameters. Maybe someone else will have more specific info.
