Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Review my ThemeAh, my apologies. It just felt like it was framed was all. I should’ve viewed source…but I only right clicked on the sidebar and it said “reload frame”…but that was just the advertisement.
I only had the best intentions to help is all.
Forgive me.

In reply to: Review my ThemeFirst of all, great job taking a blank template and making your own with it.
But I must agree with JohnPope. I like the simplicity, but the font needs to change.
Also if you can figure out a better left sidebar without frames. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but even 10 years ago people would laugh at the use of frames on a web site. It’s a “nineties” thing. And judging by some of the blog posts you’ve posted already, you seem to be targeting the web-savvy and web developers. They, of all people, will turn away from your site if they saw that you use frames.
Again, please don’t think I’m being mean, I’m just trying to offer an opinion that could help you attain more credibility toward people who may use your site as a great web building resource.
Also, frames are bad for SEO too.

In reply to: Display All But One Category Using a ShortcodeSo maybe something like this inside the code…
if(empty($query)){ $query .= ''.'category_not_in'; }But that’s as far as I got.

In reply to: Display All But One Category Using a ShortcodeI tried this in the shortcode, but I couldn’t get it to work…
[loop category="'category__not_in' => '87'" pagination="true" query="posts_per_page=5"]I’m trying to figure out a way to add inside the shortcode what I don’t want in there, not in the PHP code itself. This way they don’t have to figure out PHP to do it for future posts later down the road.

In reply to: Display All But One Category Using a ShortcodeI don’t understand what you’re telling me. In the other thread, you told me….
Please start a new topic related to shortcodes, it’s unrelated to your original question.
So I posted this to be more specific to my problem regarding shortcodes.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Display All but One CategoryI guess what I’m trying to do is figure out a way to put the minus cat id into a shortcode. I’m working on this script for someone who doesn’t know PHP, and can just add this cat=-id into the shortcode…but I’ve not much luck.
Sorry, I should’ve been more specific.

In reply to: .htaccess problem with permalinksThank you all. I fixed it. I had the wrong URL in the settings, that’ll teach me to move a web site at 3:30am when I’m half asleep.
Sorry about that, but thank you guys so very much for your help.

In reply to: Moving WordPress directorySo that must’ve been the wp-config for the other website then.
I’m honestly not sure what to do from here, sorry.
Some kind of wierd WordPress installation going on there.

In reply to: Display Thumbnail Images on Categories and TagsWhere you have the code listed with the thumbnail, you can try changing it to this…
<a href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>' title='<?php the_title();?>'> <?php the_post_thumbnail('') ?></a>Then you can do something like add this in the functions.php of your theme folder…(150,150 being max width and max height)
set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 150 );Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress directoryIf your site is running awful or slow it can be bad for SEO as well.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress directoryThat’s okay. It’s good to move wp-config out if you can, to avoid any hackers.
The general placing of the file is usually in the root.
I’d keep it where it’s at.
You must’ve had some kind of security plugin on there in the past (maybe?).
So inside there, you should be able to force the new URL.

In reply to: Website is slowI should point out, back up everything first before you make changes…just to be safe.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Website not loading or loading slow – Debug help?Also, try doing some of these things instructed on this site. Mainly GZipping and Compressing Components, and leverage browser caching.

Also, check your SQL database in case there’s any large files in there…perhaps something is in there that’s so large that’s clunking up the Database.
I haven’t tried this yet, but I plan to next week…installing a DB Manager plugin…
