In reply to: [Link Footnotes] [Plugin: Link Footnotes] target="_blank"Just updated to 0.1.7 in SVN with a new option on the Settings -> Writing page. There’s a field where you can enter the target. If there’s anything there a target attribute is added to the footnote links. If it’s blank, nothing is added.
Either way, the links within the post body are not touched, just the ones in the footnotes.

In reply to: [rTwit] [Plugin: rTwit] Tweets always disappearWhen that happens, do a view source in the browser. There are times when the plugin can’t get the latest tweet for some reason, and it just dumps an HTML comment there instead.
Last time it happened on my site it was because I didn’t account for the newer retweet format, but that was fixed in the last update.
eta…
Let me add one more to that.I’ve also seen it happen when I didn’t tweet for a while. It may be that there’s some sort of cutoff to the recent tweets that are pulled from Twitter.

In reply to: [Link Footnotes] [Plugin: Link Footnotes] target="_blank"Agreed. It’s been a while since I wrote this plugin, but let me look and see what I can do to get that working.
Maybe a target meta field on the post?

In reply to: Widgets empty when trying to editFigured it out, although I’m not sure I understand why. I had sidebars named Right Side, Footer Left, Footer Middle, and Footer Right so I put their ids at rightSide, footerLeft, footerMiddle, and footerRight. The ids are what caused the problem. When I changed the ids to themename-sidebar-1, themename-sidebar-2, etc they worked.

In reply to: Widgets empty when trying to editIt’s on a development server without any activated plugins aside from what functions.php does. But that’s a good idea to start commenting out each plugin call and see if anything fixes it.
I was thinking – hoping is probably a better word – that there was some call I was missing that loaded / saved the widgets.

In reply to: WordPress is it capable of creating a proper website?I actually converted one of my sites from a CMS (Etomite) to WordPress because I wanted blog-type features and I like the admin interface better. The bulk of the pages are done as pages and not posts. Using pages also takes care of the /2007/09/15/post-name/ type urls for most of the pages. The clincher for me is that I wanted my visitors to be able to leave comments on any of the pages and Akismet really helps with the spam problems.
Yes it took me a couple of days to create a custom theme, but now that it’s done it’s much easier for me to maintain.

In reply to: different url for homepage?Could your index page be index.html instead? Most servers will serve that first. Or, you could add index2.php to your .htaccess file as a directoryindex file and use index2.php to be your home page.

In reply to: GoDaddy “Economy Plan” and WPI’m not sure how much it affects WordPress, but I ran into a problem with GoDaddy’s cheap hosting packages with a web app I’m working on. They disable about 45 of the PHP functions. I forgot to write down the list from the client who was trying to set up on GoDaddy, but phpinfo() will show what’s disabled.

In reply to: Inserting image into post – always uses thumbnail dimensionI’m not using one of the RTEs, so I don’t have that option.
I suppose I’ll just keep removing the dimensions like I’ve been doing. Thanks…
(And I really did search, I promise 😛 )

In reply to: Feed not foundNever mind, I figured it out. I was working on an empty site, so there weren’t any posts which caused the error. Adding a post fixed the problem.

In reply to: Cannot Connect To MySQL (Yet Another! Sorry!)Do you have root access where you could try to login to MySQL directly? Or, via one of the 3rd party programs?
A problem I’ve had a few times has something to do with how passwords are stored for MySQL. Twice I’ve had to use the old_password function in an SQL query to get a WordPress blog working. Although, I think this is specific to a MySQL version rather than WordPress.

In reply to: Thanks, and critiqueI originally had a theme that matched the header more – drop shadows and such – but it really didn’t work out well for IE. And I’m sort of on a boring website kick 🙂
