In reply to: Keeping Line breaks – Is there a fix?!?!?instead of line-height, I would suggestion margin-top, but it amounts to the same thing.
<p style="margin-top: 4ex;">there should be a 4 x height space before this line</p>Oh, and I was checking into the rights of each role, and discovered something that might be a factor. It seems there is an “untiltered html” setting for the admin, and editor roles, but it’s switched off for authors and below. In other words, it filters for authors and contributors. Perhaps this is where your html is being altered against your will! You can get the Role Manager plugin that will let you specifically set that for individual users.

In reply to: Need to hire someone for password set upyes, I have all of them installed in a couple of blogs. there might be some overlap between category access and limit categories. limit categories is mean for posters, and category access is meant for viewers. I haven’t tested to see if category access restricts a category from a poster. but they all seem to function together without going bonk.

In reply to: how do I hide grades on student posts?I will mention this, as it would work, but would be rather, um, awkward.
You could create a category for every student. And then use the Category Access plugin to assign each student access to just their category. They could post privately (other students can’t read), but you could have read access to everything. You could also respond with a comment. This would work for you, but it could get a bit awkward if you’re talking about hundreds of students. That would mean hundreds of categories. You might find it a lot to read and be clear on, but I guess you could have nested categories. I.E. Classroom 1, Student 1. Just watch the defaults of Category access to make sure they are ‘off’ for new users, new categories etc.

In reply to: Need to hire someone for password set upI’m sure you can do it yourself with the following plugins:
Category Access (for restricting categories each user can view)
Limit Categories (for restricting the categories an author (via their role) can post to.
Role Manager (for creating the roles used by limit categories. create a role, assign author to that role.)

In reply to: RSS feed not working in WP 2.0.3Actually, I’ll just short cut to the answer. (I was looking for more information, in case you wanted specific categories only, or whatever else, and I had noticed some errors in your theme, and the way you’ve built the site, but I’ll be gone later)
Try these url’s instead.

In reply to: how do I hide grades on student posts?I would email the grades.
WordPress isn’t really a private message system. Even the fact that they will submit essays via wordpress is a problem, as another student could view their essay and copy ideas from it etc. I don’t think wordpress is the right solution for your task.

In reply to: Limit Category AccessYou can get the Role Manager plugin, which let’s you create new roles. If you had to, you could create one for each individual user. Then use limit categories with your newly created roles.

In reply to: http://feedvalidator.org crashes 2 Word Press sitesvalidator read the rss, just like you would in a browser. it’s one way.
it sounds like you got one up again. what did you do to get it running?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: http://feedvalidator.org crashes 2 Word Press sitesI’ve used feedvalidator on wordpress sites, and it’s not caused any problems. I would look for another source of the problem, one that’s on your server.

In reply to: Keeping Line breaks – Is there a fix?!?!?I mentioned at the beginning of this thread that css is where this should actually be done anyway. html itself likes to not display extra space characters for example. we’re supposed to separate style from content these days. css is where we can easily customize the space before a paragraph.
are you open to doing it with css? I’d be happy to give you an example if you are.

In reply to: Do I have to use “www.”?Your web host is more of a factor here than anything else, or rather, how your web server is configured. Mine treats http://www.domain.com and domain.com as the same place on the server, and returns identical files. I would speak to your web host about this if it’s important to you to support both at the same time.

In reply to: I want my <p> tags back!actually, I should address that last point of yours. when I use the html button to insert or modify code, I immediately save the post. If I do further edits in the visual editor, well, it only make sense that it will be reformatted. I wonder if this is what’s happening to some people.

In reply to: Is updating to 2.0.3 advisable?One that I updated allows public registrations, so I felt it necessary. As I’ve stated though, I’ve had no problems.

In reply to: I want my <p> tags back!oh, I was reminded of a flag in Options > Writing. Look for the option that invalid nesting of xhtml. Perhaps that’s the bad boy you want.
