In reply to: [Polylang] Saving Custom MetaHa ha ha! Problem solved! I turned OFF synchronization for Custom Fields — and the values now are separate, as I wanted to accomplish.
Thanks again @chrystl

In reply to: [Polylang] Saving Custom Meta@chrystl – Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I did that. I checked on regular posts (not pages, for which I’m actually going to use the field), and the custom field I’ve registered in the plugin is showing up in the standard “custom fields” selection menu. So I think it’s properly registered.
Does anyone have a good resource or tutorial for how to set up custom fields that cooperate with Polylang? Maybe my approach needs to be adjusted.
It seems like such a good plugin, as it handles SEO and the tagline and all that automatically. If I can’t customize it, I can’t use it.

In reply to: [qTranslate X] working with custom fields verion 2I’m having a similar problem. I’m writing a plugin that simply adds a textarea to “page” type posts for custom excerpts that I’ll display on the homepage.
I’m using metabox code from this site to do it:
http://themefoundation.com/wordpress-meta-boxes-guide/I added my textarea’s id to the ‘custom fields’ section in the qTranslate-X advanced settings, so it switches between languages when I’m editing. But when I click update, and the page refreshes, both the Japanese and English values seem to be combined into a single string (or they’re both being spit out simultaneously because I don’t know how to tell it to discriminate).
I’ve tried a combination of __() and _e(), with no luck. Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

In reply to: [qTranslate X] Setting Default Language@jjbte: I see, that’s why only Chrome does it. I set the default language URL to not display as a subdirectory (meaning it was automatically going to English but still showing the “/en”), so it was extra confusing.
Thanks for the advice!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [qTranslate X] Setting Default LanguageYes, thank you @jjbte! I tried this and that and right before noticing your response I realized I wasn’t opening the plugin options.
Then, even after changing things, Chrome kept opening the English version by default. However, other browsers were following my set default (Japanese). I think Chrome was automating things with its own defaults.
God bless!
John, thank you for such a robust and useful plugin!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [qTranslate X] Setting Default LanguageI should specify that the default language is set to English (and shows up as such in the Language Settings admin menu). Also, going to the plain domain “sitedomain.com” brings up the English version.

In reply to: [WP Better Attachments] drawing URL from within LOOPThank you Thank you Thank you!!
I guess I’m still getting familiar with theming with WordPress overall. I wasn’t aware of the “wp_get_attachment_url()” function.
I could do exactly what I want by targeting the first item in the array and dropping the url into an href.
// Get attachments $about_attachments = wpba_get_attachments(array( 'post_id' => $post->ID, 'show_post_thumbnail' => true )); // get URL $resume_url = wp_get_attachment_url($about_attachments[0]->ID); <p><a href="<?php echo $resume_url; ?>">See my resume</a></p>Thanks again. This plugin is a lot more approachable than the more robust alternative “Attachments.” A couple more examples in the documentation or concepts to study (such as this wp_get_attachment_url() function and its brethren), and I think it will be easier to pick up for novices like myself.

In reply to: [WP Better Attachments] drawing URL from within LOOPHey! Thanks for getting back so quickly. This looks like a good solution. I’ll post again after I try it.

In reply to: text color – twentytenWell, I’ve tried all the conventional forms for declaring colors: hex, rgb, strings; but to no avail.
Is it possible that WordPress or twentyten has some filter or CSS declaration going on that prevents certain styles from hitting <dl> elements?

In reply to: Displaying based on CategoriesI found a decent solution to this. With the Hybrid Framework, if you add categories to a custom menu, each category will become its own page based on a “category-page” theme template.
I suppose it would be pretty simple to make a more specific template document if you wanted to include content on only the page for a particular category, as well.

In reply to: Displaying based on CategoriesOh yea, I’m using WP v3.1.4

In reply to: Japanese, Static HTMLI’m handwriting code in Dreamweaver.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Japanese, Static HTMLThat’s right. Any HTML placed onto the pages manually (not through the admin system) gets slaughtered.
However, I found a solution.
My design has the blog isolated into a news section on the home page, together with other static elements. By placing the static code into a secondary sidebar text block, I could float things around as I wished, and the Japanese text gets processed properly.
For the other non-blog pages, I can just toss the code (which will be done statically before going to WordPress) into the content entry field of each page in the pages section.
It’s my first attempt at making a custom theme and so I’m still getting used to how to do things the proper way with WordPress.
