In reply to: Renaming WP’s installation folderForgot about this … just wanted to make sure that minus what Pinoy said, I have nothing else to be aware of? Usually apps like this break on the database side by changing the folder location …
Just want to make sure.
Thanks!

In reply to: IE showing extra block in my WP theme …Well, disabling the polls and the weather widget fixed the problem … guess I’ll go without them.

In reply to: IE showing extra block in my WP theme …Can anyone help?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Commented out a block … works in FF, but not IE!?No, the issue is still there with IE … look at the sidebar on the right … there is a blank green box sitting there for no apparent reason. Also the line showing the spam mod is repeated there as well.
I agree though, I refuse to use IE anymore, but the fact is, most of the general public will continue to use it as they don’t know any better.

In reply to: Commented out a block … works in FF, but not IE!?Well, for now I just removed all the commented out code … yet I still have the issue with the sidebar having an extra block. I can’t find where it is coming from and don’t understand it only shows up in IE.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

In reply to: Issues with using html on a WP pageDoes WP have any alternatives to WYSIWYG editor? I personally have no problems going without it, but the reason I picked WP was to allow non computer people to be able to easily edit the pages to give status updates and what not.
Thanks again for all the help.

In reply to: New topics keep getting closed?I see, well it wasn’t a repost … 🙁
Long story short, do I have any alternative to the WYSIWYG editor? All my HTML codes are being messed up when I save a page. While I have no issues going without the WYSIWYG editor, the reason I chose WP was for non-computer savvy users to be able to quickly and easily change the information on a page.
Thanks

In reply to: New topics keep getting closed?Hmmm, this topic remained? Why wouldn’t my other topic stay open? This is frustrating …

In reply to: Issues with using html on a WP pageSo I finally found some basic HTML out there to display weather … and it does not work on the site. When I add the HTML in the “code” section of the page, it does not allow me to go back to the “code” page and I get a broken image with linked text … I don’t get this … there is nothing complicated about this!
<a href="http://www.4wx.com/weather.php?pands=44067"><img src="http://www.4wx.com/weather.php?forecast=zone&alt=hwizone7day&daysonly=3&config=png&pands=44067&hwvdisplay=" width="530" height="210" border="0" title="Click for Forecast from 4WX.COM"></a>I found even a way better one that I definitely want to use … when I first hit save, it works like a champ. But If I go back into the editor to update the page, it blows it to all hell!!! This is becoming amazingly frustrating …

In reply to: Issues with using html on a WP pageVery cool, thank you much. The quickphp will definitely be of help, but I don’t think I’m going to use this weather plugin. Do you know of anything out there that would easily use that javascript snippet I posted earlier?
I tried this out and doesn’t look like it worked: http://www.automateyourbusiness.com/updates/2007/07/18/javascript-in-wordpress-posts/
Actually, after further reading, it would appear it is because of the WYSIWYG editor. This is unfortunate as the reason behing chooseing WP was to allow non-computer savvy people to be able to easily edit this page and others. I haven’t looked into it yet, but if I disable the WYSIWYG editor, what does it turn it into? Just pure code?
Thanks again!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Issues with using html on a WP pageI’m still not grasping something on how WP works … I’ve become so used to being able to use all code types with simple machine forums and tiny portal that I’m not understanding something here.
So I added the plugin, configured it appropriately, and per the documentation it states to add this wherever you want it to be displayed (I want it on a page):
<?php if (function_exists('WeatherIcon')) : ?> <li>Regina, Saskatchewan <ul><?php WeatherIcon(); ?></ul> </li> <?php endif; ?>Well, I added that, and obviously the php is not being picked up. Is this where I would need a php plugin working? I added QuickPhp to my site and still after I add the above code, the php is removed from the page. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again

In reply to: Issues with using html on a WP pageAwesome, thank you.
I’ve been browsing the plugins, especially the maps and weather. I’ve got the maps tackled, but I have not yet found any good ones for weather. Any recommendations and/or any better ways to use the above script I posted earlier?
Thanks for all your help!

In reply to: Issues with using html on a WP pageA bit off topic, but now that I’m starting to use some of these plugins, what exactly does a user mean when they say something like this? Make use of [findusmap] throughout your posts and pages
After applying a modification, how exactly do I call upon it such as this one?
