In reply to: Mass Edit: Changing Categorieshttp://robm.me.uk/projects/plugins/wordpress/batch-categories
This WordPress plugin lets you batch edit your posts: assign multiple posts to a category or delete multiple posts from a category in one fell swoop. Version 1.2 and above also support WordPress 2.3’s in-built tagging system, allowing you to tag and un-tag multiple posts at once.

In reply to: How to stop WordPress from editing .htaccess?I have been trying to figure out how to have certain folders under my root not be considered permalinks or categories by WordPress and promptly 404’d.
Hi Armen, do you mean that you get WordPress’s 404 page when you try to visit an existing directory? (like
/images/or something)Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: RSS Feed for a page in wordpress?Made a quick plugin that seems to fix it: WordPress now uses
wp-rss2template again instead of the comments one.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: RSS Feed for a page in wordpress?I noticed this too.
Under 2.0.x,
/page/feedreturns a feed for the page contents, but under 2.1, it returns a comments feed for the page — which is always empty, because Pages have no comments.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Entire WP Site –> Static HTMLwget seems to offer the best route but I can’t seem to get it to see the linked images somehow.
I think wget doesn’t parse/retrieve URI references within CSS, only in HTML.
What you could do is change all those URIs in the stylesheet to absolute paths, e.g.
#page { background: url("/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg")and then upload the whole theme folder at the same location (
/wp-content/themes/default/) so the paths are the same.You’d probably only have to do that once.

In reply to: Can I move the theme files?Maybe you could move the theme folder and add a symlink at
wordpress/wp-content/theme?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Redirect My old Feed links!It sounds like you changed your permalink structure from
/yyyy/mm/dd/postnameto/postname?I’m not very good at rewrite rules but I think you need something like this, *before* any of Worpress’s rules:
RewriteRule ^[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/([^/]+/feed/?.*) $1 [R=301]Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How are the posts and categories linked in SQL database?Anyone know if there’s a plugin which would batch-publish posts?
I think there’s one called “Draft Control”.

In reply to: How to stop WordPress from editing .htaccess?Oh, I was mixed up. If I were to change the file *owner* I’d never be able to get it back. So I’ll try changing the write permissions. Thanks!

In reply to: How to stop WordPress from editing .htaccess?If I take away my own write access for the file, can I ever get it back? I thought I would need write access to make any further permission changes.
The problem is not so much that the server has write permission but that WordPress in particular keeps writing to it… I guess I’ll try to find the relevant WordPress code and comment it out. Not a great solution either.
Thanks, Otto.

In reply to: How to stop WordPress from editing .htaccess?I still need to write to
.htaccessthough. 🙂I’m still using pretty permalinks, but I’m using a modified set of Rewrite conditions to limit which requests WordPress should handle. WordPress doesn’t overwrite these, but it adds the default conditions below, which nullifies what I’m trying to do.
Thanks for the reply, Otto.

In reply to: How are the posts and categories linked in SQL database?I think it’s in the post2cat table. (?)
http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description/2.0#Table:_wp_post2catThere might be a plugin to help, too — try “Batch Categories” or browse under “Mass post management”. There’s also one called “Manage me” but it doesn’t seem to be available anymore..

In reply to: attachment linked to page results in 404I get this too with WordPress 2.0.7 + Apache/1.3 and permalinks like
/%category%/%postname%.With this structure, my links to attachment templates look like
/category/postname/attachmentnamewhich WordPress seems to parse incorrectly as
name=[attachmentname]&category_name=[category/postname](from$wp_query).Links to attachment templates for files attached to Pages look like
/pagename/attachmentnameand they work fine, and if I switch to a permalink structure with no%category%label (like just `/%postname%/), all the attachment links work.(Also: I can see that WordPress is making rewrite rules like
'.../attachment/*' => index.php?attachment=*but I’ve never seen a pretty permalink with/attachment/in it.)
