    Upgrading WordPress fixed my issue!

    I was updating from 2.8.6 to the latest. I used the xclone plugin to back everything up. It’s the only one I could find that worked!

    (Still weird to me how this post says it was started by “nikeonsale”. That sounds like someone has switched my profile name somehow…)

    Still looking for a resolution here. Any help would be very appreciated!

    Also, why in the “About this Topic” section in the sidebar of this post does it say, “Started 4 days ago by nikeonsale”?

    Yes, you should try to upload the file via ftp.

    hyperactive-med, I’d like to try .48. If you can still send it to me, that would be great. master.cob gmail

    Thanks!

    Anyone having problems with version .51? I have nothing excluded, and on two different pages of mine, the thing stopped counting a few days ago. It worked for two days and then just gave up. I have no idea what could have affected it (except maybe a mqsyl thing).

    Solved. This is the sidebar link category code that I think works best for this theme:

      <?php

      $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories");

      foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {

      ?>

      <li id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>"><div class="title">
      <?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?></div>

      <?php wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?>

    <?php } ?>

    Yes!

    One thing I haven’t got right yet, and it’s been bugging the junk out of me for a while now, is an inexplicable paragraph space between the link categories and the links themselves. I can’t figure out how to get rid of that space.

    Check out my page at http://sacred-doily.com/mouth/, and look at the sidebar under “some bookmarks”. Then scroll down and check my archives, labeled “the past”. There’s no space between “the past” and the archive links.

    But I’ve tried different code in sidebar.php, and the space is still there. So it seems that the answer lies somewhere in the css page. Does anyone have an idea where to start?

    My sidebar code, for posterity, is the chunk found here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_get_links

    I have trouble deciphering it. All I know is it sorts them by category id, and that’s why I use it.

    Here’s my sidebar info, and here’s how I relocate my sidebar. Your results may vary.


    #sidebar {
    position: relative;
    float: right;
    width: 140px;
    right: 20px;
    padding: 10px 0px 0px 0px;
    background-color: #fff;
    text-align: left;
    font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;;
    color: #000;
    font-size: 7.5pt;
    line-height: 11pt;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    }

    .left {
    float: left;
    margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
    }

    .right {
    float: right;
    margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
    }

    Under “float” (third line), I change it to left. Then I change the fourth line to either right or left, and I adjust the px number accordingly. I’m not a master at this stuff, so if this doesn’t work for you, then maybe someone else will be able to help out.

    Okay, thanks. Must be some setting on my firefox, or something. I suspected as much, but it was purely speculative and I didn’t want to sound too long-winded in my description.
    Thanks guys.

    If you’ve tried all the samples in http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags#Links_Manager_tags
    then I would check the h2 section in your css file and make sure all the correct info is in there – such as font, and color etc.
    such as

    [code]
    h2 {
    font-family: 'Arial';
    color: #000;
    font-size: 8pt;
    text-align: left;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    }[/code]

    Brilliant! Thanks Gaia. (and sorry Katie1, I was out of the loop for a few days).

    I feel dumb, in a way, for being stuck at something so simple. I think I had just stared at the thing for so long, and after a while I stopped making any progress. There’s a steep learning curve.

    It’s annoying how my sidebar.php does not have “h2” mentioned anywhere on it, yet that’s what it’s connected to on the stylesheet. Things like that lead me astray. I’m editing through the wordpress theme editor, so maybe that’s my problem. Maybe some things are hidden.

    Bumping this again in the hopes that anyone can help me out.

    Pretty please! 🙂

    Is there anyone that can help me with this? I tried contacting michaelarrington, but didn’t get a reply. This is one of the last things I want to do with my layout, so it’ll be cool to get it fixed. If anyone could just point me in the right direction, that would be great.

    I’d like to second vkaryl’s request. Though I imagine it might be futile by now.

    I’m the next poor soul. I have the exact same problem as michaelarrington. I’m still learning the ropes of css, however, and I’m not sure if I can figure this out on my own.

    If anyone else is able to help me, that would be great.

    My links section of my sidebar.php is:


    <div class="title"><?php _e('Links'); ?></div>
    <?php get_links('-1', '', '
    ', '
    ', 0, 'name', 0, 0, -1, 0); ?>

    My h2 in the stylesheet is simply this:

    h2 {
    color: #666;
    font-size: 14px;
    text-align: left;

    This theme, as noted, does have a sidebar, and I can get it to display the different link categories if I use different code in sidebar.php. such as

    <?php wp_list_pages(); ?>
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>
    <li id="categories"><?php _e('Categories:'); ?>

      <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>

    but it comes up in the same way as michaelarrington describes: with the wrong font. I would just to his site and ask him how he did it, but his blog doesn’t seem to be functioning right now.

    Thanks. My site is clickable from my username.

    edit: sorry for doing the ‘code’ part wrong…
