I could comment on it, but suppose it is rather lengthy, and I want to post it on my own site instead. * In that case I write an article on my own blog, and “trackback”, so I take the trackback link from your post, put it in the “trackback” field of my own post( in my own “write” page) and: * – my post will appear on my own site as my own post – my post will appear on your site as a comment to the post * pings are more sophisticated because they use a xml-rpc protocol, but basically do the same. * The beauty of this system has one downside: you can disable comments to avoid spam, but when trackbacking is allowed, comments (and comment spam) can still come through from unregistered users. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Help a WP Newbie](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-a-wp-newbie/) * [lyklev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyklev/) * (@lyklev) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-a-wp-newbie/#post-159782) * Ok.

The header is php-code, and is actually a small program, while the css is just css and will never get executed. * The problem is that in your css you need the complete url of the image, wordpress directory and probably hostname too. The code in the header.php does this for you. * If you want to do a css-only image, that is ok as long as you put the complete path (including the path to the theme directory) in your css. This makes it impossible to package your theme as a bundle and put it on another site, which is the reason it was not put in the css. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Help a WP Newbie](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-a-wp-newbie/) * [lyklev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyklev/) * (@lyklev) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-a-wp-newbie/#post-159586) * It seems like you have a couple of theme files, you just can’t get them installed. That seems like something simple that you missed. Can you describe your problem more precisely? When you stare at something too long, you miss the small things, as we all know too well 🙂 * In case you really need someone to look at it, do you have ssh access? ftp access? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Themes without comment files?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/themes-without-comment-files/) * [lyklev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyklev/) * (@lyklev) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/themes-without-comment-files/#post-159585) * As far as I could see, if a file in a theme is missing it is automatically taken from the default. So yes, you should be able to copy it from the default and put it in your theme. * If you did a lot of work on your own theme, you probably need to hack the new file to fit in your theme. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [pre-installation query](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pre-installation-query/) * [lyklev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyklev/) * (@lyklev) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pre-installation-query/#post-158898) * WordPress allows you to use a prefix, which you can change. All your tables in one database get the prefix you set in wp-config.php. This way you can put more than one wordpress blog in the same database, by setting different prefixes for different blogs. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [An alternative to ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/an-alternative-to-ltphp-the_id-gt/) * [lyklev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyklev/) * (@lyklev) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/an-alternative-to-ltphp-the_id-gt/#post-158527) * `the_ID()` echoes instead of returning a value, right? That is what gives an error. * I haven’t tried it, but try `$id = $post->ID;` and let us know. * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [upload.php & do_action hooks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploadphp-038-do_action-hooks/) * [lyklev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lyklev/) * (@lyklev) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploadphp-038-do_action-hooks/#post-157508) * The source is yours to play with.

  • Mozilla FireFox 1.0 Secrets
    • Somehow, you generate an extra li, causing the bullet. * How do you generate the list? It has no closing div either. * So it is not a CSS problem, but either a html problem or a php-problem.
