In reply to: Posts to indexHi @medavidcook!
From what you’re describing, the Cactus Masonry plugin will do what you’re after. This plugin is primarily focussed on image posts, but it supports texts-based posts, as well.

In reply to: Making transparent sidebar a solid colorHi @tanner13!
X Theme is a commercial theme, you’ll need to ask for support in their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.

Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

In reply to: 4.4 – new accounts get email to set password – should be overriddenHi @sinemac!
This email is sent by
wp_new_user_notification(). This is a pluggable function, so your plugin is able to override it by defining a function with the same name, to send your email.If you’d prefer to use hooks, there’s no filter just to override this email, but you can unhook the actions that call it:
remove_action( 'register_new_user', 'wp_send_new_user_notifications' );
remove_action( 'edit_user_created_user', 'wp_send_new_user_notifications' );remove_action( 'network_site_new_created_user', 'wp_send_new_user_notifications' );
remove_action( 'network_site_users_created_user', 'wp_send_new_user_notifications' );
remove_action( 'network_user_new_created_user', 'wp_send_new_user_notifications' );You can then hook into these actions with your new function for sending your email.

In reply to: wp_title ?? what happened? i'm not a techie.Hi @mtjarrett!
This post discusses the changes to wp_title, though it was supposed to be backwards compatible.
Would you mind uploading the code that generates the title in your theme to http://pastebin.com/ ? We can hopefully track down what’s going wrong from there.

I’ve updated the readme to reflect that it works up to WordPress 4.4. 🙂

In reply to: Permalinks on WAMPAh, that would also be part of the problem. You can find a copy of the basic WordPress .htaccess file here:

In reply to: Integrate wordpress with large HTML siteWell, that’s not what we want.
Is this error coming from your web server (usually a very plain page – just black text on a white background, or possibly with your host’s branding on it), or is it coming from WordPress (has your WordPress theme styling, with the error where the page content usually would be)?
Also, could you post a copy of your
.htaccessfile?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: permalinks and shortcodesHi @inventorgeorge!
You’re right that this was intentionally removed in WordPress 4.4 – shortlinks were primarily useful back when Twitter counted every character, these days they use their t.co URL shortener, so shortlinks are redundant.
To bring back the shortlink button, you just need to create a small plugin with this line of code:
add_filter( 'pre_get_shortlink', '__return_false' )Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Permalinks on WAMPHi Joshua!
This is caused by the
mod_rewrite.somodule not being loaded in Apache.In your
httpd.conffile, you’ll need to add this line:LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.soAfter saving the file, restart Apache.

In reply to: Comment style changed automaticallyHi @wiselyl!
This was an intentional change in WordPress 4.4, as mentioned in the Master List.
If you prefer it back the old way, you can install the Reverse Comment Textarea plugin.

In reply to: Import ONE table from a complete database EXPORT using PhpMyAdminHi @andieb!
phpMyAdmin doesn’t have the ability to import a single table from a dump file for a whole database. Instead, you need to extract the table data from the dump file.
If you’re comfortable on the Linux or OSX command line, you can use this command to extract the table:
sed -n -e '/CREATE TABLE.*mytable/,/CREATE TABLE/p' mysql.dump > mytable.dumpSubstitute
mytablefor the actual table name.If that’s not an option, you can open the dump file in your preferred text editor, and copy everything from the
CREATE TABLEstatement for the table you’re after, up to the line before the nextCREATE TABLEstatement in the file.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp_user_roles default code ?Hi @mehmettk!
Here’s the default code for
wp_user_roles: http://pastebin.com/dhG2JiadAs you’ve probably discovered, this option is not meant to be edited directly. Instead, you can use the roles and capabilities functions to programatically change it.

In reply to: Domain appears twice causing 404 errorHi @khowell8615!
It looks like that “Home” is being generated by a breadcrumb tool in your theme. It isn’t adding a trailing
/to the URL, which is being redirected to a 404 page outside of WordPress.As this theme isn’t hosted on WordPress.org, please go to their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.

In reply to: Fatal Error – Lost AccessThe error message shows that the error is occurring in the
wp-content/themes/foodalogue/library/com_functions.phpfile, the “foodalogue” part indicates that it’s a custom theme for your site.Your web host will be able to help you access the file directly – they may have a browser-based interface for that (a popular browser interface is called cPanel, if you happen to know that your host provides that).
I would definitely recommend working from a backup of the file – that way, you can easily restore the file to its original state, if things really aren’t working out.
If editing the file yourself isn’t working, please try http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or http://directory.codepoet.com/ and do not accept any hire or direct access offers posted to these forums.
