In reply to: WP is not accepting the code of Firefox Referral buttonOtto42, just so you know about this. I’ve specifically tested the scenario you are recommending, and there still remains a problem. It stores the code correctly in the database, and if you look at it in the editor, it’s right. But when wordpress output the page, it filters the content, and inserts br’s at every new line character (
n) it encounters. It does this at the same time it replaces colon ) with 🙂 smilies.I haven’t studied wp-includes/functions-formatting.php enough to know the solution here. In my opinion, it should be smart enough to leave alone anything in between script tags.

In reply to: WP is not accepting the code of Firefox Referral buttonwordpress does a lot filtering, with settings in more than one place, and some without settings.
If you have the role manager plugin, it gives you an option for ‘unfiltered html’. that’s something you can try. but if you’re doing this as the admin, I believe that’s already set the way you want.
You may need to add some function calls to functions.php in your theme. I haven’t studied this much, but in wp-includes is functions-formatting.php. I don’t suggest you edit that file, but it will give a clue as to what WP is doing. You can disable those by creating a functions.php file in your theme, and adding the appropriate code. (now I need to look that up first, so check back later, and I’ll advise on that bit.)
Another option you have is to put your adsense code in page.php for your theme, so it shows up on every page. wp won’t mess with your html if you put it in page.php.

In reply to: Restoring a WordPress blogYou need to know the name of the database in mysql, and the username and password. Fill those values in wp-config.php. You can get a fresh copy of that file from the sample included in the wordpress files. Just copy it to wp-config.php, and edit the values.
If you don’t know the database name, username, and password, your webhost should be able to tell you.

In reply to: Adding a logged in user’s nameI recommend you contact the author. I just don’t have enough info, and not enough time to study that plugin. Unless someone else reads this and is familiar enough to advise.
Are you using the latest wordpress? If you are, here’s a work around until you figure this out.
Go to your options page, and change the blog address. Change it to http://www.joshoakhurst.com/?page_id=10, or another page of your choosing. People should be able to navigate from that starting place.
I’m a little puzzled here. The page is somehow there, but not there. I can click things eventhough I can’t see them. I haven’t run into anything like this before. Kind of baffling to me so far.

In reply to: all around font issuesI haven’t looked, but something that I find happens quite a lot is people paste something in a post that they copied from another website, or an email or something. A lot of tag information is hidden in there that is often incomplete, and leaves open tags and such. This will affect everything that follows, as tags left open are applied to later items, and everything goes ‘haywire’.
I recommend you clean your posts as a first move. Go to the manage screen and edit a post. Select the whole post and copy it. Then open notepad, and paste it. Then, select all in notepad and copy. Go back to your post, select all, and paste. Since notepad will ignore all the tags, it effectively removes them from the whole post. Do this for every post.
Once you’ve done that, you might find your problems are gone. If they persist, it’s to do with the theme.

In reply to: how do I hide grades on student posts?How are you letting students do the private post thing if the students choose that? I thought the normal “private” option on a post prevents even the admin from reading it? (could be wrong about that). Are you using an extra plugin?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: how do I hide grades on student posts?good stuff! i like it. you’ve addressed my own personal concerns. you’ve given them an option for privacy if they want it, while encouraging them to participate openly if they choose.
Are you going to package this up as a theme? My brother is a teacher for grade 8, and might wish to experiment with this kind of system.
congrats!

In reply to: IE6 Width Pains in the Buttthe box model in IE6 is really screwed up. I use http://ie7.sf.net. Install that javascript, and it actually rewrites the DOM in IE6, and make it compliant.
I can confirm the problem. I have Mac OS X, am using firefox 1.5.0.4, and see the symptoms as you describe.
I also checked for validation, and saw many errors. It’s probably a missing closing tag on a div or something like that. It’s best to fix them all though. No reason to have it mess up.
Don’t worry about the
<br>'sfor now. It’s not something that will mess up firefox. My quick check shows that it’s properly showingin the editor, but when it displays it’s being filtered. I believe there is a functions file in wordpress that does this, and that you can add a line to functions.php in your theme to turn it off. But let’s not worry about that for now. Concentrate on making sure every tag is opened and closed properly for now.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Need Advise on My Feed – It Doesn’t Work?The one in public_html could be causing the problem. You could temporarily rename it to htaccess and see if the feed then works. Then change it back, as it’s possibly important.
If that test works, then you need to look at what the public html .htaccess file is doing, and see how it could be changed.

In reply to: How do I change the front page header picture?You’ve got two files to change in this case.
http://www.furtherreview.net/wp-content/themes/yaletown/images/home/banner.jpg
http://www.furtherreview.net/wp-content/themes/yaletown/images/home/title.jpg
Just download those pics, change them, and upload back into place replacing what’s there. I’m going to assume you know how to navigate to the images dir in your yaletown folder based on the above links.
Rather than resize the pic to be full width, just bust it in half like it is now. That’s the easiest way.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Comments showing up where they shouldn’t be!That’s not so easy. You need to create/edit files in your theme.
You make a copy of page.php and stick this bit at the beginning of the file.
/*
Template Name: AnotherPage
*/Continue on and customize your new page without a sidebar.
Back in wordpress admin, when creating a page, you can choose the template to use for the page. It will show AnotherPage in the list of options for the page templates available.
Here’s the bit in the codex on that > http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_your_own_Page_Templates
