  • your isp will give you guidance along with this forum. especially with regard to cpanel. the isp may not be familiar with wp, nor do they have to be. but they will help you configure things on your server to accommodate wp

    yes of course! username, email is the same for gravatar and this forum. web site link is different but that shouldn’t matter. i have several gravatars for several usernames and i am not sure how these things find each other.

    for best results, look into a design school that has an ” interactive” core curriculum. you can get students for ” free ” if you hire them as an intern and they get course credits for developing your site.

    otherwise interns usually cost $10 – $20 per hour if they don’t get the credits

    jberghem, there is a way around having two sites with two different users. it is through navigation menus. site #1 is the user site. site #2, hide all site #2 user links. configure site #2 menu to point to site #1 with user-related menu.

    a bit more info please. do you mean ” hide ” certain category? if that is what you want here is a plugin of interest…

    i use this on many blogs. easy install. easy to configure to fit the look and feel of your site. does not break down. good support.

    just because author does not use pretty links to plugin site, don’t be put off. πŸ˜‰

    plugin name: WordPress-Ready Contact Form v.2.0WP

    plugin site = http://green-beast.com/blog/?page_id=136

    there is a nice plugin that has features not included with the default excerpt tag. the default eliminates any/all links in the summary as just one example.

    i have a domain sitting on a server with nothing to do. maybe change to php5, put up existing theme, start with a new db? create a few posts and slowly build it and see what happens? if all looks good, then point to my original db and cross my fingers?

    maybe someone can help me as i think my answer is in this thread but not sure which answer applies to me…

    If I’m hearing you correctly, you want to use one theme for the majority of your site and one theme just for a section of the site for a video gallery.

    no, one “theme” (literally) with a section that has a different post layout = different header and sidebar placement though all will use common images, users, etc. ( is there a way to have optional layouts for a post? i.e.,
    option 1 ( default) = header 1, sidebar 1
    option 2 = header 2, sidebar 2,3 ) note: different header meaning different nav menus.

    i guess the range of options lies in between…?

    1) ideally one domain, admin, users, theme AND two post layout options
    2) two domains ( domain.com, domain-search.com ), admins, users, and ONE theme slipping seamlessly back and forth

    a lot of good ideas here and i am not skilled enough to sort out what has just been said.

    upgrading to 2.7 is the answer.

    another possibility is via the sidebar widget “blogroll.” go into functions.php and create a new “sidebar” function. this new function will appear in the drop-down menu in widgets section. place the new sidebar where you want it on your new page and drop the blogroll widget in there.

    In reply to: What’s the pratical use?

    this thread got me to thinking about how to set up the evolution of my site. i am using v2.7 with a theme that really works for me. so going to MU may or may not work at this point in time. so here is my question and maybe someone can give me a bit of insight…

    trying to find a way to split my site into two distinct sections that link to each other. the different sections offer different features/different post layouts. same database.

    1) is there a way to have optional layouts for a post?
    option 1 ( default) = header 1, sidebar 1
    option 2 = header 2, sidebar 2

    OR
    2a) two sites using same theme but have same domain name and reader slips seamlessly (unknowingly) from one site to the other

    OR
    2b) slightly different domain name ( domain.com, domain-search.com )

    oops – don’t like this thread title. will try to pick this up on new thread…
