Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Spam ControlThat’s a good point. It’s a young blog and I’ve been more interested in seeing if activity continues in the comments section over time.
As of now, I’m getting about 5-6 spams a day, so somehow, I magically cut down the volume by a few hundred. I think it may have to do with removing a user I missed that was clearly not legit.

In reply to: Spam ControlI’m not using captcha. I probably should although I prefer not to. I’ll look at those other options.
The post itself is over a year old and ranks 87th among all content in the last month.
It’s interesting that it’s been going on for about two months now and all of a sudden, in the last 16 hours, it has stopped. Strange.

In reply to: Displaying URL for latest post from a categoryWhoops, ignore my note about the topics aspect. It should be 2009/08 so I just need to figure out why it is putting the php tag at the end of that URL.

In reply to: Displaying URL for latest post from a categoryWe’re getting closer. Now, I have a URL like this:
www.domain.com/2009/08/<?php the_permalink();?>It added in the year and month although I guess that’s not right either.
The link should read:
www.domain.com/topics/<?php the_permalink();?>Does this make any sense to you? I wonder why it’s putting the permalink tag at the end of the URL. Doesn’t that tag output the entire URL? Thanks for your help on this.

In reply to: Allowing option to register or notThat’s the setup I have right now. How do you take that and make a “remember me” option to the user? Perhaps you have to offer the “register” link rather than a simple yes or no checkbox? I would assume if that’s the case, there’s a tag of some sort for the registration link.

In reply to: Displaying URL for latest post from a categoryThanks for helping. When I tried that, it directed me to the folling page:
http://www.domain.com/<?php the_permalink();?>
I guess it’s not grabbing the link correctly. I actually had tried something similar last week and got the same result. Unfortunately, I don’t have a strong enough knowledge of PHP to understand why it would behave that way.

In reply to: Static pages outside of wordpressThanks for your feedback. I think I’m starting to see how WordPress organizes now and I’m much more comfortable with what I am doing. You’re right, I was headed for a big mess so thanks for helping me reevaluate my direction.

In reply to: Static pages outside of wordpressSorry for being a post-aholic. It’s not imperative that this stays in the WP template. What I really want to maintain is searchability and comments. I’ve actually decided to use entirely different sidebars for the directories. Perhaps I just need to utilize a different option for this part of the site.

In reply to: Static pages outside of wordpressLet me clarify why I don’t just create these pages in the WP admin section.
I want to keep a database that turns over each year. 2009 will have all sorts of data and then I’ll keep that archived while the active directory becomes 2010 next season and so on year after year.
If it goes where I want it to, the site becomes much more than just a blog and is also a resource center. The home page will always be the blog, but with much more available to explore.
That becomes way too much for WP to organize without the use of directories. Simply giving each page a custom name isn’t enough.

In reply to: Static pages outside of wordpressThanks for your responses.
Keeping it with the template would be fine (and preferred) especially because I’d like to keep the comment functionality for some of these pages.
What I’m finding is that if I create a sub-directory (say 2009 directly under the root directory and outside of wp-content), I get the fatal error.
I run includes to keep the header the same and actually that works pretty well in cases where it doesn’t have a WP function.
Mostly, I have to keep two different includes because I can’t seem to have those functions included. Everything in my sub-directory has to be hard-coded. It breaks on the first called function…<?php language_attributes(); ?>
