In reply to: Better way to do a user newsletter?FY: A lot of “newsletters” sent by email are now being replaced by encouraging people to use the feeds. Just a thought.
As feed become more well known and easily available, they are growing in popularity and I know of several places who are considering dropping their subscribers and going to promoting feeds.

In reply to: thumbnail folderPut them there?
Honestly. That’s the answer. You can put your graphics anywhere you want, in any folder you want, whether uploading through WordPress or FTP or whatever. Tell them to go into the
wp-images/thumbfolder or whatever you name it. And then make sure you make your links accordingly.Your site’s folder system isn’t much more different than your hard drive folder system.

In reply to: Moved Install, Now I Have ProblemsAre/were you using permalinks? Did you also move your .htaccess file with the rest of your WordPress files? After logging in, did you reset your permalinks?
That might be part of the problem.

In reply to: Help! Can’t log in when wordpress is in a frame!Well, I know I sound arrogant, but what have YOU learned.
I don’t mean to be, but running anything in a frame or iframe is not a good way to do things.
Frames are antiques, things hated while they were popular and therefore not done much any more unless absolutely necessary. Iframes are abused by novice designers who try to run their posts in them. Search engines don’t “see” what is in an iframe, and they have lots of other problems…so they are used for ads and other non-essential purposes.
There are over 300 different themes to choose from, and some have incredible designs. If you are determined to run your WordPress from within a frame or iframe, then you have to live within those limits and understand them. If you are trying to do something else, like run WordPress from within a static html page or a non-WordPress page or site, then we can help you with that issue.
For now, you’ve learned that to log in, open a new window for your login.
I use Firefox as my browser and I have multiple windows open all the time in “tabs”. I always have one page open for my WordPress Admin, another for my site, and then the rest for whatever I’m working on. It’s not a big deal to do.
I hope this helps, a little. We’re trying to give you the best help we can, but doing the odd and unusual makes it a little more challenging.

In reply to: Help! Can’t log in when wordpress is in a frame!First, get it out of the frame.
Just type in
example.com/blog/wp-login.php, or whatever your site address is, into your browser’s address bar and it should bring up the login screen.How you got it into a frame is another issue.
And if you are trying to use WordPress in an iframe or frame and you are using the login or edit link from there….yikes.

In reply to: CSS Scrollbars and setting table widthsFirst of all, one of the great things about WordPress is it’s lack of tables for design. Tables are for data not design.
Do you want to change the colors of the scrollbar on the user’s browser? Most people frown on that but you can search the Internet and find information on that old technique. It doesn’t apply to WordPress.
The “look” of WordPress is controlled through the use of CSS and that information is found in the
style.cssstyle sheet file in your WordPress Theme.If you want to change the look of the Theme you are using, there are more than 300 Themes to choose from. You can learn more about them, customizing them, and changing them, at:

In reply to: List pages without bulletsThere is no argument for listing bullets. When the page is generated (viewed) it returns the list using LI XHTML tags.
You control whether or not you have bullets in the Pages list by changing your
style.cssstyle sheet section, as explained in the article, to feature no bullets.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: List pages without bulletshttp://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_Lists_with_CSS
Will help you figure out the WordPress lists. It can be really challenging dealing with nested lists in the sidebar.
#sidebar li {
list-style: none;
}Will help but you have to identify which LI is being used on your Pages template tag.

In reply to: Get rid of comments in some postsLet me just clarify what you are asking.
You only permit comments on one post per day. The other posts released during that day, you mark the comments “closed”. Odd, but anyway.
On the posts that are closed, you want to have the “Comment (0)”, called the comment count, say nothing or be gone on the posts that are blank?
Is that right?
Depending upon the query that is being asked to determine your comment answer, this can be done, we just need a little more information.

In reply to: resize wordpress1. why would you want WordPress in an iframe? Odd usage.
2. Are you taking about a post, a particular feature, the entire Theme, a part of your page?
3. Do you want to resize your entire WordPress site on a web page to a specific width?
There isn’t enough information here to give an answer. And use of iframes for all your content is not recommended, so there may be another way of doing this if you provide us with more information.
