In reply to: Change default thumbnail size in WP2.0Does anyone have a good idea on how to alter this to simply make all thumbs that are created be the same height (say 150px)?

In reply to: Different Themes for Different PagesThis site does something similar to what your looking for. Hit the three little links at the bottom.

Doesn’t seem to hard but I haven’t made any attempt to duplicate it. Let me know if you get it to work.

In reply to: Parent Page Referencing Most Recent Child PageWell, still looking for a way to get a parent page to link directly to the most recent child page added. The plugin does a good job except that you have to change the link everytime you add a new child page.
It seems like there’s got to be some easy script that does something like this. Anyone have any idea?

In reply to: Got my custom fields rocking, but not the format!I understand. Then this means to need to write a css rule to style that pesky
<ul>element exactly how you want it. An example would be (this will take out the indent):.post-meta {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}Good luck. And thanks for the theme info.

In reply to: modification to wp_list_pages: current_page_itemThis is the plugin I use:
http://www.webspaceworks.com/resources/cat/wp-plugins/30/
It allows a class of “current_page_ancestor” to be apllied to a child page’s parent’s
<li>element. It keeps the “current_page_item” class applied to the child’s<li>element. This way I can style my main nav and sub-nav separately.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Archived posts run off pageSounds like a CSS padding or margin problem. What browser are you using?

In reply to: Got my custom fields rocking, but not the format!By the way, your site looks really nice. Is it your own custom theme, or did you alter another?

In reply to: Got my custom fields rocking, but not the format!Well, England might be busy. But I can help. Looking at your source I found this:
<li><span class="post-meta-key">Currently Playing:</span> Donkey Konga 2 (Gamecube)</li>This means you can create a new CSS class named “.post-meta-key” and style it how you would want.

In reply to: Having a Page show ‘posts’ from one categoryThen I think my advice about altering the loop would be the answer.

In reply to: Having a Page show ‘posts’ from one categoryYes, HandySolo’s is much more on point.

In reply to: Having a Page show ‘posts’ from one categoryYou will have to create new template pages for each category and customize the loop in each template to only show the selected category. This article in the codex can get you started. Once you have the templates, you can create pages (or child pages) using those templates. The sidebar section “Page Template” in the pages section of your site’s admin will have a list of templates to choose from.
edit:
Don’t know what happened there. Fixed the link. But HandySolo’s might do better.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: What are the best plugins or hacksI’m assuming that you want a long url to look nice and tidy when displayed on the page. Something like this:
Tidy link to this postWhich, under the hood looks like this:
<a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/76152?replies=1">Tidy link to this post</a>In your WordPress post editor, highlight the word or phrase you would like to make a link, click the link icon (looks like a chain link) and type in the url you want it to reference.
As far as best hacks and plugins, WordPress is pretty powerful out of the box. It all depends on what functionality you need.

In reply to: WordPress to Main SiteThis would mean heavily altering “the loop” in index.php located in your theme’s folder. Read this to get an understanding of what the loop does:

In reply to: database problemSo you have verified that your database has been activated and you’re sure you entered in all of the info in wp-config.php? Did you enter in the
DB_HOSTname?`define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
