In reply to: Get rid of that admin bar!I like the admin bar. I want to keep it. The only prob. is that it’s causing my “absolute” positioned <div>’s to be shifted out of place by the height of the bar OR it covers them up at the top. Since it only affects logged-in users, changing the css won’t solve the problem. For example the admin bar covers the upper navigation on amplifiedny.com. It seems like this would affect a lot of people.

In reply to: get_permalink() returns wrong post@dianev Thanks for the reply! Yup I did (and in 2 browsers). But I found the answer! The problem seemed to be isolated to the share links on single posts (not the home page). It was because the code for the share links
<div>was outside the loop. I moved it inside the loop and it’s working. I had recently moved the share links code to thefooter.phpand positioned at the top via CSS absolute positioning so as to make the page load faster. I just moved it to the the end of the loop insingle.phpand problem solved! But it still seems weird that is was returning a random post from last year.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Permalinks w/ parent category onlyIs there a variable like %category& that gives just the parent category?
I’m building a site for an art gallery and my category structure is something like:
Artwork (parent)
– Abstract (child)
– Figurative (child)
– Drawings (child)
News (parent)
…I’ve set the custom permalink structure to:
/%category%=%postname%which for a post in the Drawings category would deliver a url like:
…/artwork/drawings=post-nameBut I really only want the parent category to be part of the url. Ideally I’d like them to be:
…/artwork=post-name
or
…/news=post-nameOf course it’s possible to set the permalink structure to:
/artwork=%postname%which would be fine except that then posts in News would appear as
…/artwork=post-name
rather than
…/news=post-nameAny ideas?

@ admin: I first tried to post this a few min. earlier in the same place (How To…) but with the title “Permalinks w/ parent %category% only” but the % sign made the post not accessible. Please delete that one and keep this one.Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: AMPLIFIEDThanks Gina (just added a little bit of margin) I might reduce the width of the comments section to 2/3 wide.

In reply to: "blog pages show at most"Right on Esmi! That looks like exactly what I need. I’ll experiment with it.

In reply to: Database sharing more efficient?Makes sense—thank you—I think I’ll keep em’ separate. What got me thinking about this was at one point I was considering sharing the user table between two blogs (using this method) but for this blog, since I use Disqus for the comments, the only wp users are the authors. I think keeping the db running smooth gets priority.

In reply to: Same User Login For 2 Sites?@samboll Sweet! That looks like the ticket. Thanks! I’ll give it a try next week. I love Justin’s Hybrid framework too btw. I’m using it on VirtualMusic.tv and will use it for the new sites too.

In reply to: Webzine Design@weight_loss_menus Awesome, thanks for the input. You’re right—I think I was getting a little carried away with the categories. I think I was confusing people with the previous dropdown menu. What I did for now was streamline/simplify it into 5 main categories (Music,Design,Photo Journal,Apps,Infoculture) some of which have sub categories. Music Flux and Band Radar are now sub-categories of Music. That works, right? I’m glad you’re liking the Music Flux section, which so far is the most popular section. I’m working on some new posts for Music Flux now. Another way to explore the site is with the search bar. I had received feedback in another forum saying I should make the site look ‘more hip’ so I’ve been trying to address that as well. Thanks 🙂

In reply to: my-link-order broken in 2.8.4alfafips’s solution on page 1 worked for me (thanks). No patch needed. Make sure you’re using the “My Link Order” widget and not the “Links” widget.

In reply to: Webzine DesignI built a new menu for VirtualMusic.tv using this dropdown technique. The home page is also more visual now, as I’m only showing the thumbnails. Thoughts?

In reply to: WordPress World Usage?trigmed: Thanks for the info. I’m more curious about the .org. I mean the meta always has the commented “please leave for stats” right? Who has the stats?
“Magic” attack solved by replacing the
vars.phpfile thanks to yokima and tstalcup. I had 2.8.2 installed, and I replaced thevars.phpfile with the 2.7 version. And obviously for anyone else who has this problem do not enter your username and password into the authentication popup window.
