In reply to: Big problem with internet explorerIt seems all your PHP files try to download, which leads me to beleive your server is not setup properly to run the PHP scripts. Contact your host and bitch at them to fix this immediately.

In reply to: Linking to archives using Lucid themeMoshu,
“3. Installed it and the nicer archives “hack” doesn’t work.”
No it doesn’t unless you install it properly. And yes there should be a readme for that but there’s not.
“5. Ceterum censeo: if people need to contact you for a task as simple as to create an archives page…”
They don’t. But if they don’t know how to create WP templates then I offer my help to them. I don’t go around calling other peoples work crap. It’s obvious you know very little about a lot.

In reply to: Linking to archives using Lucid theme😛
storymom, there is no archives template included with Lucid. The archives.php file in there is the ‘nicer archives’ hack which I included with the theme, and can give you some nice looking archives with a little work. But for simple archives I would try out Clean Archives Plug-in.
If you need any help creating an archives page just let me know, and I’ll whip something up for you. http://mattread.com/contact/

In reply to: Displaying RSS headlines in the sidebar?shadow, you seem to have found a bug in the rss-functions, I’ll see if it’s been reported, and report it if not.
But that means the feed you were trying to get has an error in it.

In reply to: More Smilies Plugintakuya, that’s the annoying WordPress bug #902. To fix it, upload my menu-header.php, which has the patch applied, to your
/wp-admin/directory overwritting the current one.Only do this if you have 1.5 strayhorn, and NOT one of the nightly releases.

In reply to: Displaying RSS headlines in the sidebar?OI! sorry about that, forgot one important thing:
<?php include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC.'/rss-functions.php');
wp_rss('http://somessite.com/rss/', 4); ?>that will work. for sure 🙂

In reply to: Sidebar loads at the bottom instead of the topemorockchris, that’s usually caused by an image being too wide to fit in the main content area, and in IE will push the sidebar down to the bottom, cause there’s not enough room for it.
I couldn’t reproduce that error so I can only speculate for you. But seeing all the nice images you have there, it could very well be the cause.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: paragraph tags around comment_textshelleycat, you can fix that with some CSS. I assume you have the comment author in a paragraph, or some tag. So add some CSS to put a negative top margin the comment author tag.
example:
<p>blah coment text but with comment spelt right...<p>
<p class="comment-author">by Joe Blow</p>and the CSS
.comment-author{ margin-top: -1em; }you may need to adjust that negative margin a bit until you get it where you like but it should work.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: ‘More’ functionality not working correctlyjonbuda, when you say a ‘news’ template, do you mean you have a “page” that you use to load that template. If so then WP will assume you are viewing a single page and thus show the the entire post as it should for a single page/post.
So to overcome this you need to set the
$morevariable to false just before you callthe_content()as follows:<?php $more = false; the_content('Read Entry'); ?>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Displaying RSS headlines in the sidebar?OR, use the built in rss functions:
<?php wp_rss('http://somessite.com/rss/', 4) ?>That will grab the 4 latest titles from http://somessite.com/rss/ and output them as a list.
