In reply to: Posts added through MySQL don’t show up when url is typed inTo simplify my question,
Is there something I need to add to wp_posts or wp_postmeta in order to get the post accessible through its url? Right now, I have to go into WordPress and press “save” on each page to get it to work through the URL. So WordPress is adding some data that I’m not. What is that data?

In reply to: Best Related Posts PluginI installed that into my theme and it seems to work pretty well, although connection between some of the posts seem pretty weak.
If anyone knows any better plugins, let me know. I think showing related posts is a great way to increase site traffic.

In reply to: Aligning two columns – main and sidebarbecause I’m trying to figure out HOW to do it the right way, maybe?
Regardless, I found a way to get it to work. The sidebar doesn’t go down all the way, but thats just something I’ll have to live with.
You can lock this thread; I don’t need any more help.

In reply to: Aligning two columns – main and sidebarNo, I don’t want to mess around with background images or anything. I know it’s possible to do it the right way.
I have an idea, so I’ll be working on my site and it won’t look like how I’ve described.
But if anybody has any suggestions, keep them coming.

In reply to: Aligning two columns – main and sidebarThanks, I’ve modified a version of ‘Contempt’, but it got so messy I decided to make one from scratch.
I’ll do the google search on faux columns, and see if that’s what I’m looking for.

<a href="">.http://mercurylime.net/blog/?page_id=26 is the link to the page I’m working on. I’m trying to get the ‘slink’ value to be the url of each post’s “Listen” link.

In reply to: using custom fields as links – help!Thanks! That fixed it. Any idea how to pull the specific value from the_meta to use in a link? I’m working on it now..
the_meta won’t work because it includes more than just the value..
get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slink', $single=true)doesn’t work, I’m not sure why…get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slink', true);also doesn’t work..get_post_custom_values('slink')doesn’t work either, it brings back the link for the current page....and I can’t find any other tags that return plain strings.

In reply to: using custom fields as links – help!it inserts the text “_wp_page_template: ml_music.php”.
I took out the dollar sign and it still didn’t work. I have this in the code:
/?php $posts = get_posts(‘category=42’); foreach($posts as $post) : ?/
I guess that doesn’t count as the Loop… but how else would I do it?

In reply to: using custom fields as links – help!When I use that, it puts up the meta information of the template page I’m using, not of the current post. When I use something like the_time(), it gives me the right time of the post, but the_meta() gives me info of the template page…
