In reply to: WordPress 2.7 upgrade and nothing happenedDid you close and restart your browser? Deactivate WP-Cache?
I recommend that you try again. You are on the right track, but all it takes is a glitch in the uploading files to ruin the whole cake.

In reply to: Multiple Loops or something with Custom Fields?This is actually done a lot. There are a number of tutorials around the web to help you. Look for help on “magazine style themes” and multimedia WordPress Themes to help you look at different options.
Any of these will work, but use the one that works best for your needs.

In reply to: Having a page pull categories?When you bump a post, we think you have gotten a response. Please don’t do that.
It sounds like you want to setup a site map or table of contents type of page. There are many Plugin options that help you do that. Have you searched through the Plugin Directory with those keywords?
Also, considering asking the Theme developers for help on this, since they are the supplier of your Themes.

In reply to: How to know the category ID of my categories?On the Categories Panel, hover the mouse over the category name link and you will see the link address in your browser’s status bar (turn it on under View) or click the link. The last numbers in the link address is your category ID number.
It used to be clearly numbered in past versions of WordPress, but in current versions, it isn’t. That’s how you find it.

In reply to: Posts as different userIs it saying you are someone you are not, or maybe you are logged in under someone else’s user name?
To change the post author, go to the Post Author section on the Write Post Panel/Add New Post of the post you need to change the author on, and switch to your name in the list.
If your name isn’t in the list, then make sure you are set as the administrator.
You set the “name” under which your posts are published in your User Profile Panel.

In reply to: Blog only showing 1 post on frontpageThe first rule of this forum is “no bumping” so take care with this. I looked and saw five replies and assumed you were getting help already, so I didn’t check this post.
Here are some possibilities.
First, switch to a different Theme, like the Default Theme, and see if this still is a problem. If it is, then copy the WordPress Loop area of the code and replace it within your Theme where it matches. That will fix any code problems you are having with the Theme.
If the switch still shows two posts on the front page, then go to your Settings and check to see how many posts are set to show on the front page of your blog. Change the number and save it. Does it change?
Lastly, if these don’t work, are you using an Plugins that impact how your posts are displayed and where on your blog. If so, disable them or upgrade them.
With the information you bring back if it doesn’t work, we might be able to help you more.

In reply to: total sidebar customizationIf a sidebar widget allows customization of its title, then you are allowed to edit it on the Appearance > Widgets panel. If it doesn’t, then you can’t, unless you manually edit the code on the sidebar template files where that sidebar content appears within your WordPress Theme.

In reply to: Omit pages from listNo. Currently, unless you can find a Plugin to replace the task, you must edit the WordPress Theme template and put in the parameters that will restrict what the wp-list-pages() template tag will display.

In reply to: Unusual 2.7 error – pages and posts screen appears orange?!!Did you reload/refresh your browser after updating? Are you using a WordPress Plugin that integrates into the Administration Panels? Have you turned it off to see if it makes a change?
Without more information to reproduce your problem, it’s hard to give you a straight answer.

In reply to: Calendar and Archives not workingWe need more information to offer any help. Did you change your WordPress Theme? Which Plugins are you using? Did you upgrade recently?
Try changing your WordPress Theme from the default Theme and see if the problems continue. If they do, then something has been changed in the default Theme. Consider upgrading or using a different Theme, something your users might appreciate as the default Theme isn’t very complementary to your content and subject matter.
