Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: trouble importing wordpress xml filei resolved the problem. i ended up breaking the file into smaller pieces.
i can’t say for sure, but from what i read at the link MichaelH posted (thanks!) and what seemed to be happening, i think there was probably a time limit on how long my web host would allow the script to run.
since i had a large number of tags at the beginning of the xml file, i think it was timing out before it got around to importing any of the actual posts.
it would be helpful if wordpress could tell you if the script stops before importing the entire file. where it was just going to a blank screen, i didn’t have any idea what was going on to pinpoint the problem.

In reply to: Author Page ProblemsI solved the problem. I had started by copy pasting code from the codex that looked like this:
<h2>About: <?php echo $curauth->nickname; ?></h2>
<dl>
<dt>Website</dt>
<dd><a href="<?php echo $curauth->user_url; ?>"><?php echo $curauth->user_url; ?></a></dd>
<dt>Profile</dt>
<dd><?php echo $curauth->description; ?></dd>
</dl>and
<h2>Posts by <?php echo $curauth->nickname; ?>:</h2>And I encountered the problem detailed in my post above.
The solution:
Where it says
$curauth->nickname;I replaced it with
$curauth->user_nickname;Where it says
$curauth->description;I replaced it with
$curauth->user_description;I took the liberty of editing the codex.

In reply to: Author Page ProblemsHas this issue been resolved yet? I am having the same trouble described by Silvetti and DaveQ. I am still playing around with WP 1.5.2. Is this still an issue with WP 2? Or will simply upgrading solve it?
Anyway, here is what I have:
To get my author links, I have this in my sidebar:
<?php wp_list_authors('exclude_admin=0'); ?>When I click on an author’s name (ex: ‘montag’), the url looks like this:
http://www.stumplane.us/wordpress/archives/author/montag/My author.php file includes the following (and I’ve tried substituting all the other examples in the codex to no avail):
<?php
if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($_GET['author_name']);
else :
$curauth = get_userdata($_GET['author']);
endif;
?>I may not have the terminology correct, but it seems as if PHP is not passing the author query. The link is correct, so the list of posts for the author shows, but ‘Current Author’ doesn’t pick up the author name, so the author’s nickname and profile do not display.

In reply to: align left/right not workingThis is what I use (in this case the image is on the right):
<img style="float:right; padding: 10px 0 20px 20px; " src="http://www.where_your_image_is" alt="words" />Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Stump Lane (4th Generation)I hate to bump this and I won’t do it again. But since I posted this it occured to me that I should check my site in IE, (duh!) which I discovered was mangling my layout. So I fixed it.
To do so I changed the widths on my rap, content and sidebar to ‘px’ values rather than ’em’ values. (For whatever reason, IE was drawing everything ‘narrower’ than it was showing up in FF. AND the menu was clashing with the content and getting pushed down below.)
Perhaps the difference was that I defined my header image in ‘px’ while other stuff was in ’em’ (?)
At what point does my Gemini based theme become too “hacked to bits” for Root’s taste? I tried to stay true to it. I really did.

In reply to: delete an userIn wordpress go to the users tab
pick ‘authors & users’ on the gray toolbar
click the minus next to the “level” of the author you want to delete. Keep hitting the minus until it gets to zero and the Author will switch to a “registered user” and you can delete it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
