In reply to: Custom HTML tags in the new editorThere is/was an ongoing discussion about custom CSS and tags such as this. The safest thing is probably to disable the rich text editor when editing old posts that incorporate such elements, which are currently not understood by the editor.

In reply to: Mangling XML in my post (closing tags for me)I know exactly what you mean. The editor is trying to ‘help’ you. At times it can actually remove text bits. This behaviour is good in most cases, but the general rule is that when you have <element a> it will have to be followed by </element>. You’ll need to find a wordaround. Are you trying to embed XML? Are you trying to just show bits of XML to your visitors. If the latter, see:
http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm
Pay attention to: AND#60; and AND#62; which can (and in this case *should*) be used instead of ‘BRACKET LEFT’ and ‘BRACKET RIGHT’
(had to re-edit because bbPress is interpreting the code above in the same improper way)

In reply to: Comments Only PageHave a look at the WordPress Codex. You could, in principle, just use the functions that fetch comments and print them out. Alternatively, you could graft the comment bit from index.php and put it in a separate (and new) php file. Have a look… try to isolate that code bit or start from index.php and strip off the unwanted bits, saving the file under a different name, e.g. comments-only.php.

In reply to: Index Page goes BlankHmmm… your page has changed since the last time I checked the message. Which version have you installed? Your post goes under “Installation”, but do you install from scratch or do you upgrade? Did you try re-installing? Did you make sure that all files were uploaded, strictly overwriting old files, if any? Try to give as many details as possible because the page says very little on its state, from a technical point-of-view at least.

In reply to: posts counter screwy after deleting some postsOthers have had similar issue with comment count when importing from another CMS. If the comments do exist, then I suggest that you try to save the database as-is and then restore from that database on a fresh installation. Make backups first, of course.

In reply to: Database migration from 1.5 to 2.0 betaHave you got console/terminal access? What is your front-end, if any? cPanel perhaps? You could load databases and restore them rather easily in cPanel. The database contains everything (almost!), so you need only find out how to overwrite the void (new) database on your Yahoo server.

In reply to: Comment Count Issues2 other people have reported similar issues pertaining to comment count. This could either be due to caching or import, I suspect.

The public side of 1.5.x is not overly different from that of 2.0.

In reply to: Image uploading Safe modeSome people complained about the excessive number of directories and the very many levels. You might wish to alter the code (not recommended unless you know what you are doing) to manage images in one flat directory structure. Otherwise, you could write a script to build all the directories you will ever need, e.g. (pseudo-code, not bash)
for year=2005:2007
mkdir $year
for month=1:12
mkdir %month
for day=1:31 # can afford spares
mkdir $day
end
end
end(or ask the sysadmin to run the script for you)
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: WPAndreas07Nice one! the only suggestion I would make is that you make the top menu text larger. It is unconventionally smaller than the body text and I see you can spare space.

In reply to: allow viewer to select font sizeI can possibly point you to an example site where you can view source and graft some functions.

Code in:

This also uses the cookie to remember the preferred font size.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Calender for admins only?In ec3_get_calendar(), include a cookie check. I believe this becomes more of a PHP question than a WordPress question. See examples in thw WordPress code, especially the dashboard-side, i.e. ~/wp-admin.

In reply to: MYSQL Database ErrorYou wrote: define(‘DB_USER’, ‘theart_’);
What’s your username again? It can’t be void, can it? Unless you hide it of course.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: MYSQL Database ErrorUsing MyAdmin will not get you anywhere and you can only intervene (break) the integrity of a WordPress-type schema.
Try installation from scratch for ‘proof of concept’. Fresh filebase, fresh database, re-use nothing. Server (e.g. software versions, conflicts) will be ruled out as a a culprit this way. WP should be fine, which would suggest bad settings.

In reply to: Problem viewing accents in characters while includingWhich editor are you using? Which doctype did you specify? I believe the default will handle Latin-type accents such as á é ó just fine. I concur with moshu.
