Fixed this by adding the following into wp-config.php * ``` define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // force utf8 define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8_general_ci'); // force collation ``` * I also used phpMyAdmin to makes sure the collation matched. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Image Resizing/Thumbnail Generation Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-resizingthumbnail-generation-plugin/) * [monkeynotes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeynotes/) * (@monkeynotes) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-resizingthumbnail-generation-plugin/page/3/#post-323045) * OK, fixed it. It was having problems determining my path using the funtion: * `PixGallery_DeterminePaths()` * Since I host my site on blog.stephencarr.org the actual directory structure is: * /root /web /public /blog * So when it was determining the root of my web space it just returned * /root/web/public * This is because my subdomain is running out of a folder on my main domain’s docroot. * I fixed this by hardcoding the correct docroot and commenting out line 54: PixGallery_DeterminePaths(); so that the determinepath function does not get called. I am pretty sure the path to your WP installation is a global WP variable anyway, you should be able to use that. Don’t ask me how, I just hack things about. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Image Resizing/Thumbnail Generation Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-resizingthumbnail-generation-plugin/) * [monkeynotes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeynotes/) * (@monkeynotes) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-resizingthumbnail-generation-plugin/page/3/#post-323044) * I can’t seem to get this to produce any thumbnails. I have looked at the HTML and it is looking for the thumbs in the correct place but it is not generating any thumbs. I am sure this is a path problem, permissions on the folders are 777 and as I said it is writing the HTML to the folder correctly but just not outputting the images to that folder. Any ideas? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [thumbnail size](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size/) * [monkeynotes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeynotes/) * (@monkeynotes) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size/page/3/#post-305487) * This is bugging me too. I want to be able to specify the true thumb size, not just HTML resize the thumbnail/main image. I am dabbling with PixGallery which claims to resize thumbs on the fly but it does not seem to be working. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Exclude Category From Archives](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-category-from-archives/) * Thread Starter [monkeynotes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeynotes/) * (@monkeynotes) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-category-from-archives/#post-204223) * Sorry, I am not being quite clear here. I don’t want to list the actual category names, I want to list the posts, sorted by date (with month headers) in a certain category, excluding the posts in another. * I know you can use * `` or `` * For loop operations but that method does not seem to help when building an archive style page: * March (20) February (10) * The number is the number of posts in that month, but I don’t want to count certain posts such as my remainder link posts. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Sortable Nicer Archives for 1.3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sortable-nicer-archives-for-13/) * [monkeynotes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeynotes/) * (@monkeynotes) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sortable-nicer-archives-for-13/page/2/#post-105356) * <> for a 1.5 plugin version that can exclude specific categories. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Build a link to a page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/build-a-link-to-a-page/) * Thread Starter [monkeynotes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeynotes/) * (@monkeynotes) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/build-a-link-to-a-page/#post-203438) * Yes, I remember that method now.
