I did get a successful connection after setting CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false, but I have a hunch that updating curl’s certificates might be the proper fix.

So I set CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true and first tried CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => true:

* About to connect() to www.google.com port 443 (#0)
*   Trying 74.125.67.103... * connected
* Connected to www.google.com (74.125.67.103) port 443 (#0)
* SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
* Closing connection #0

And then I tried CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false

* About to connect() to www.google.com port 443 (#0)
*   Trying 74.125.67.103... * connected
* Connected to www.google.com (74.125.67.103) port 443 (#0)
* SSL connection using RC4-SHA
* Server certificate:
[…]
* SSL certificate verify result: unable to get local issuer certificate (20), continuing anyway.

I’m getting the “Unable to list distributions” error also.

It’s a IIS-6 server with curl installed.

The error message for the request was “could not connect to host”. Could be a problem making SSL requests on a Windows server? See the comments — http://php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

Use the page_css_class filter:

add_filter('page_css_class', 'my_page_css_class', 10, 2);

function my_page_css_class($class, $page) {
	if ( 'Contact' == $page->post_title ) {
		$class .= ' page-contact-special-class';
	}
	return $class;
}

Then select the anchor as descendant:

.page-contact-special-class a { /* my special styles */ }

There is an enhancement ticket & patch for filtering the Page menu/list hyperlinks directly, which will make this sort of thing a lot easier. You can vote for the ticket if you want to see this change soon. 🙂

It looks like you’re using post_is_in_descendant_category correctly. post_is_in_descendant_category( 33 ) means “are any of the current post’s assigned categories descendants of category ID 33.”

Codex: Installing WordPress with clean Subversion repositories

I could never figure out what to do with the index.php file 😉 — anyway, you do move wp-config and wp-content, but (unlike my advice above) you leave index.php where it is and instead edit the mod_rewrite rules to pass requests there.

I take this does not mean we can re-name the directories?

Any of the directories WordPress allows you to move you can also rename, as long as you tell WordPress the new location — either in the Admin panels or wp-config, usually.

Hello 007casper,

You may want to start a new thread since this one is already “resolved”. Anyway —

I tried the full code on my WP and it prints images for every post that has an image.

If you’re sure that each post has an attached image and a working thumbnail, do “View source” from your browser and check if WP is printing an <img /> (even if you can’t see it on the page).

You don’t want to change numberposts => 1 in the post_image() function because it’s only supposed to print 1 image per post.

This is what I did:

1. Move (or check out) the WordPress application files into a subdirectory, and set that as your “WordPress address” (either in the General Settings panel or by setting the WP_SITEURL constant in wp-config.php)
2. Move wp-config.php, index.php, and .htaccess into the main directory, and edit index.php so it points to the new location:

   /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
   require './wp/wp-blog-header.php';

3. Put wp-content wherever you want and set WP_CONTENT_DIR (full local path) and WP_CONTENT_URL (full URI) constants in wp-config. When I did this, I also had to empty the “Store uploads in this folder” field in the Miscellaneous Settings panel — the default wp-content/uploads seems to be relative to the application path (ABSPATH), and that’s not what you want.

You end up with a structure like this (I put the application files in the wp folder):

/.htaccess
/index.php
/wp-config.php
/wp-content/
/wp/
/wp/wp-blog-header.php
/wp/wp-load.php
/wp/…

(If you want, you can also move the plugins and uploads directories: set the WP_PLUGIN_DIR and WP_PLUGIN_URL constants in wp-config.php, and set the local upload path and upload URL in the Miscellaneous Settings panel.)

If you make updates with Subversion, it looks like the working copy has an extra index.php file and wp-content folder that never get used — ?
