The “best” portion of any page, to display the most important content, is the top. * 2) Where am I? On the “Home Page”, I see your first blog post, but the description of your site is way over on the right, all “smushed” up. This is the home page, so a nice concise description would be nice, right up front. * 3) The header is not a link. It’s standard nowadays for the header to be a link back to the homepage. * 4) (my personal preference) the left margin is kind of small. Think about a piece of paper, the left margin is quite big and makes it easier to read. the black so close to your text on the left is distracting. * 5) When I get to the bottom of the page, where do I go? your navigation is st the top, but nothing at the bottom. A “back to top” would be nice. Even after the post content in a single post view; If the user doesn’t want to read the comments, give them somewhere to go. * But overall the design is really quite nice. Good big font size (although sans- serif is easier to read on-screen), well spaced out sections and headers. Good job. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [add_submenu_page and class=”current” not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_submenu_page-and-classcurrent-not-working/) * [mattread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/) * (@mattread) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_submenu_page-and-classcurrent-not-working/#post-451265) * it is because (sorry to all my english teachers for that one) all your menus point to the same page, `__FILE__`. thus when WP sets the “current page” it will be set to the filename of your plugin, and the Books menu, which comes first, will be highlighted (current). * The solution is to put each of those sub menu pages in seperate files. like add- book.php and book-cats.php, or something like that. Then link your menus to those files. The main menu item, ‘Book’, can be handled by your main plugin file… * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Call to undefined function: bloginfo() in … /index.php on line 5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-bloginfo-in-indexphp-on-line-5/) * [mattread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/) * (@mattread) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-bloginfo-in-indexphp-on-line-5/#post-353837) * Did you upload to the index.php in the main wordpress install directory?

I beleive the default function that filters it in wp is [`sanitize_title_with_dashes`](http://redalt.com/fn/523). you can `remove_filter()` that and create your own “sanitize” filter (afaik). * I now MarkJaquith did a [plugin](http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1972) to allow periods in slugs. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Get_Post Hook available?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get_post-hook-available/) * [mattread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/) * (@mattread) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get_post-hook-available/#post-379757) * `the_posts` hook might be what you are looking for.

And remember to `global $wpdb` if inside a function. * Also that will only work if the `zen_images` table is in the same DB as WP. If not you’ll have to create your own `mysql_connect` etc.. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Pages Converted to Posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-converted-to-posts/) * [mattread](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/) * (@mattread) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-converted-to-posts/#post-351409) * if you can get a list of the ID’s of the pages, you can do a sql query to change the post_type back to page … if you can/want to take the time to find them all, we could come with some code for you. * OR if you have a backup of the DB before you got the svn, restore it then run upgrade on that … * —————————— Matt Read [http://mattread.com](http://mattread.com) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 167 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/replies/page/3/?output_format=md)… [10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/replies/page/10/?output_format=md) [11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/replies/page/11/?output_format=md) [12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/replies/page/12/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattread/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
