In reply to: Incomplete Comments Display (on backend)So… turns out this is not Headspace, nor, by trial and error does this get fixed by deactivating any plugins. Kinda driving me nuts. Has anyone seen anything like this? Now it only displays ONE comment even though the display suggests it’s showing 1-20.
Thanks!

In reply to: Incomplete Comments Display (on backend)Interesting. I think this may be a conflict with the HeadSpace plugin. I will report on their board

In reply to: Getting Rid of “Smart Quotes”Thanks. Sorry I misunderstood… no, quotes are only in headlines if people type them in.
I did a little experiment and added quotes around a word in a recent headline, then loaded the page up and, sure enough, they turn out as smart quotes. Is this happening in the browser? Is it possible that there’s something clever in the theme that I haven’t found?
Thanks!

In reply to: Getting Rid of “Smart Quotes”Yeah, they seem to always be there. Had no idea such a thing was possible in a theme. Do you know how one would begin to look for such a thing? I want to at least get rid of them in headlines.

In reply to: wp_head(); Question!!Sorry, what is a “hook” ? Where can I learn about this stuff? Isn’t there just a default explanation for the HTML that that variable spits out when it’s called?

In reply to: Getting Rid of “Smart Quotes”Guys – are “smart quotes” supposed to happen in headlines or not? I keep seeing them find their way in and I am NOT using microsoft word. Is this normal behavior or not?

In reply to: Strange Stuff in My HeaderHey Dave – is there any good reason to have that stuff there? How would I remove it?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp_head(); Question!!I’m in the same boat…
Are you saying that if a theme designer used “<?php wp_head(); ?>” then the specifications for that are somewhere in functions.php?
I can’t find anything in functions.php that looks like metadata or header code. Is there any speed advantage to not using “<?php wp_head(); ?>”?

In reply to: Strange Stuff in My HeaderHey thanks… what do you mean by “groups of pages” How did this page become a part of a group? Does it have any benefit?
Also, how can I remove this stuff? It seems to be generated only by this:
<?php wp_head(); ?>
How can I change the stuff that’s in that variable? Do I want to?
Thanks!

In reply to: WordPress Search – Memory Intense?Thanks! Would you suggest this for most wp users? Do I lose anything? For example, cached search pages?

In reply to: Getting Rid of “Smart Quotes”Thanks guys.
It’s not practical to ask my authors to use the HTML, there’s too many and they’ll never understand or remember.
Is this behavior normal? Or is something wrong with my install? If I mess with formatting.php, is that a dangerous hack?
Thanks!

In reply to: Special Sidebar for Inside PagesI finally found some random code that worked:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Inner') ) : ?> <?php endif; ?>Why did I need to do this? It actually works, except for the fact that the second sidebar does not add <div=”sidebar”> … </div> to the top and bottom – even though it’s exactly the same fucking code as the other one. Yay! This is really no longer fun!
If I change it to:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Home') ) : ?> <?php endif; ?>THen it pulls the original sidebar as expected, but also with the <div=”sidebar”> … </div> stripped out of it.
What the living *** is making it do that? HOw? WHy? What? Who?
I slapped the div code around the thing in single.php and everything works, but I know now I’m in dangerous hack territory.

In reply to: Special Sidebar for Inside PagesOkay great. So… the final straw – now I’m trying to get the second sidebar to appear on the single.php page.
Originally the code looked like this:
<?php get_sidebar(”); ?>
I changed it to:
<?php get_sidebar(‘inner’); ?>
Nothing whatsoever happens. I could put
<?php get_sidebar(‘CRAPTASTIC’); ?>
In there and it still calls up the main sidebar. How the heck to I get this thing to recognize the other sidebar?

In reply to: Getting Rid of “Smart Quotes”Yeah, the page looks fine, but you can see in the source code that “smart quotes” are in there. In some RSS readers this makes the headline look like junk. I’m trying to figure out how smart quotes got into the headline just by typing the headline into the title field – I never touched MS word.
