Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Google: how to avoid RSS linksOk, just searched the web a bit: In robots.txt “disallow”, wildcards can’t be used.
However, we could use rel=”nofollow” in the links. I will add this now for both the feed and the trackback urls in my theme.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Forgot passward, password recovery says my e-mail doesn’t work.Do you have access to MySQL, e.g. via phpMyAdmin?
As far as I know is the password stored in MD5.
So first convert a new password into MD5 hash value, e.g. by using MD5 Converter. Then copy this value and insert it into the field ‘user_pass’ in table ‘wp_users’.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Google: how to avoid RSS linksThanks, podz. That might help, but however does not solve the initial issue. Google (or any other search engine) should not index */feed/ at all.
Another idea: My robots.txt looks like this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-content/
Disallow: /wp-includes/Is it valid for robots.txt to add a line like
Disallow: */feed/
?
I think that would solve this issue.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Google: how to avoid RSS linksExample:
– blog.com/date/post-title
– blog.com/date/post-title/feed/That’s what Google is displaying very, very often. First the original link, and below of it, slightly indented, the link to its feed.
This feed link should just be disabled, but I see no chance by using robots.txt for it. Well, I am using Google Sitemaps now, so I assume that this will avoid listing feed links a bit. But I have seen this very often in Google search results on other WordPress blogs as well.
Thanks,

In reply to: I’ve about had it…bet you heard that beforeAgain regarding the idea including a blog to existing static HTML:
I would not think about using a blog on top of it. WordPress supports static pages since 1.5. I would just create a WP theme and for each existing page I would create a WP page. For not having the recent blog entries on the front page you can use the Home Page Control plugin. Thus, you have a CMS and can edit the content of the static pages via WordPress. I have seen several websites using WordPress as CMS, it’s simple, and it works great.Regarding the navigation:
You could use WP navigation. Well I use http://adahas.com/work/navigo/.
That’s completely up to you.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: I’ve about had it…bet you heard that beforeTake a look at http://www.sw-guide.de (it’s in German, but nevertheless I think you will see what I mean).
There I have static pages for all the content. And, there is a section “Weblog” which is the blog section. I implemented that by using the plugin: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/home-page-control (and some other plugins).
Do you mean something like this?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Post redirect to home pageAre you using Apache webserver?
You could use mod_rewrite rules.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: how to modify all the articles together?I suggest using the tool PureText for inserting MS Word (or other rich text) content into your blog. It removes all the formatting, tables etc.
As for your existing articles:
Well, there is no plugin or something like that available, AFAIK. I would google for a MySQL search & replace tool that supports regular expressions. Or you may program something like this in PHP.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Removing Post Date and AuthorSearch for
<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?>
and
<?php the_author() ?>Usually it should be in index.php, but may also be in other files depending on what theme you are using.

In reply to: changing hosts – transfer DB and postsShouldn’t be a problem at all. As far as I know, you need to do the following:
1.) copy both the webserver files and the MySQL db tables to the new host. Use an FTP tool and a MySQL tool such as phpMyAdmin for that.
2.) edit “wp-config.php” and modify the MySQL settings
3.) use e.g. phpMyAdmin, select the table “wp_options” and change the URL in the fields “siteurl” and “home”.
4.) Delete the files in the cache folder (wp-content/cache/)Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: in_category not working on front pageHmm, isn’t it is_category() instead of in_category() according to http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags ?
