You’ve resolved this, so I’m not sure if you still an answer for your last question. For the most part, everything other wp-content directory (and all its contents) and wp-config.php are the files you want to keep. In theory, you could just re-upload core WordPress files, but since you’re running an older version of WordPress, you might try doing an upgrade on one of the sites…if you’re comfortable with that. Perhaps you can create a test site by copying one of the sites (and DB) that you’re dealing with and do the upgrade in a dev environment. Not matter what, make a backup!

Pages are hierarchical, so that’s normal behavior. Permalinks are for posts (pages and posts are the same, but they’re not :).

I take it from your post that perhaps you have your site set up so the front page displays a static page (set in Settings->Reading), and the name of that page is “sample-pages.” So, if you set the parent page of your test page to be sample-pages, then you will get the URL you have described due to the hierarchical nature of pages.

Is your website the one the feed is attached to? (Not sure I’m following you here…)

Are you using a filter on the_content anywhere?

And anyway you could comment out the loop in your website to test?

SxOne,

I should have mentioned wp-login.php as a last resort, but wp-login.php is a core file and shouldn’t be modified (unless you’re restoring it as you are). If your clients want a customized login page, there are plugins that will do that.

OK, looks like you need to use the category slug:

'category_name' => 'my-category-slug'

or category id:

'cat' => 22

Sorry about that…

Have you tried deactivating all your plugins? I’ve typically seen this happen with plugins that don’t take into account for non-html output (like an XML/RSS or JSON feeds).

The code in the bought out theme isn’t using parameterized queries, and could be susceptible to SQL injection:

So to address that and answer your question, change:

if ( is_page() ) {
    $paged = get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts( 'post_type=post&paged=' . $paged );
}

to

if ( is_page() ) {
    $paged = get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    query_posts( array ( 'post_type' => 'post', 'category_name' => 'Collaborations', 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'paged' => $paged ) );
}

Big caveat, I wrote this in the forum text area (I haven’t tried running it), so I’ll make sure it’s valid when I get back in front of my work computer.

I just did a quick test with Search and Replace, and found that it works as advertised. It will show you what it’s going to change before it does, and you can get the generated SQL if you want to inspect it.
