In reply to: completely desperate and willing to send cookiesAll your data is in that database backup…
Admittedly, I’ve never had to do it, but this seems like a good resource for how to backup MySQL dumps:

In reply to: What can I do with the RSS URI field?I don’t think it is used for anything except that when you go to site.com/wordpress/wp-links-opml.php, it will create a dynamic opml file for each of your links that has an RSS field. It’s great for exporting your links into something like bloglines or anything that supports opml import.
In the future, someone could write a plugin that integrates MagpieRSS with WordPress, and you could pull in headlines from other blogs using that RSS feed.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: php coding helpYou could make the poll go to <?php echo $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]; ?>

In reply to: Not displaying commentor’s email addressShowing a person’s e-mail address on your site is just going to cause them to get spam. Furthermore, the default wp-comments.php states that their e-mail address will never be shown.
The reason an e-mail address is included is so that the author can contact them.
I’m not saying that you can’t do it… just, you probably shouldn’t.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Templates and PHP Includesthe
is_single()function returns TRUE for single pages… individual archives. The category archives return FALSE, just like the main page. If you only want stuff showing on the main page, (and you’re using wp 1.3, as I assume you are if you are using is_single()) you can useis_home()to test if it is the main page.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: What’s wrong with my XHTML?It is recommended that you do deactivate staticize reloaded while you’re tweaking your site, and flush the cache when you’re done.

In reply to: links manager not updating blogrollYou could look to see if your /wp-content/links-update-cache.xml is getting updated. If not, your host may have restricted some PHP functions.
As I recall, errors are supressed for the retrieval of that file, so if it’s not getting the file, you won’t get an error.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Browser viewerIt looks fine in IE6 and Firefox 1.0 (Windows and Linux).
There are some minor line-spacing differences, but nothing really noticible unless you rapidly switch between the two browsers.
By the way, here’s a site that lets you do that (it’s not free though):

In reply to: WordPress handing off wrong directory informationHere’s your problem:
<form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”ilence/index.php”>
That should be “http://www.uneasysilence.com/index.php”Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changing Author Ex Post?AFAIK, there isn’t an easy way to do that…
If you’re trying to reassign ALL of an author’s posts, you could do so using a DB query, but I don’t know of a way to do it on a post-by-post basis besides editing the DB, of course.
