In reply to: No Quicktags in FFI was having Javascript problems in FF with another software. I found several things in the FF forums that eventually led to a fix. First, reset FF in your firewal program. Then open FF in safe mode (Start menu) and try to use the Quicktags. If they work, you probably have an extension or theme conflict. Start deleting until you find the culprit.You may be able to reinstall it after. Be sure to restart FF after each extention delete — and REALLY close it, using Ctrl+Alt+Delete and removing FF from that list.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Free HostingThat’s no deal! I pay $4.95 and have much the same features ( I do have to pay for my domain separately, but it still works out better). WordPress can be installed in a snap with Fantasico. 2 MySQL databases, etc. There is also, the “almost free” https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ which has 1 gb for $1. For the features, try to beat that! Shop around.

In reply to: Excluding category in single post displayHere’s an outline of how I want this to work. The Mambo version is at http://www.gypsyresort.com/re and the WP prototype is at http://www.gypsyresort.com/re_new
(this doesn’t display as a table, but hopefully is clear enough)
<table border=”1″ width=”100%”>
<tr>
<td>
random image (no problems here, using random image plugin)
</td>
<td>
list of titles in category 19 (no problems here–using get_posts)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=”2″>
(spanning 2 columns) most recent post (just the one) that’s not in category 19
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
next two most recent posts not in category 19 (using get_posts, I got the numberposts and offset parameters fine, but the category not filtered out)
</td>
<td>
4th and 5th most recent posts not in catgory 19
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=”2″>
(spanning two columns) posts 6-10 from most recent, not in catgory 19
</td>
</tr>

In reply to: Dates To RememberI’ve got Countdown installed and working, but with a wierd glitch. On events that are 1 day off, or today, instead of saying that (as on the asymptomatic.net site) it’s like this right now:
May. 5 – Cinco de Mayo (Today1 day0 days)
yesterday it was:
May. 5 – Cinco de Mayo (1 day1 days)Just like that, wrong spacing and all.
Any idea how to fix? Alternately, I would be willing (prefer) to lose the countdown part altogether, and just have the dates.

In reply to: WordPress as a CMS – page categories?Have you considered just installing a second instance of wp? Easy to do, just give the tables in the database a different prefix. Then have a whole different catagory structure for those posts, which can be linked to from the main blog.

In reply to: Update: V1.5―Getting Admin Area Fieldsets to Wrap in OperaNatch, operator error. The admin css HAD been botched. Uploading the new one via ftp didn’t seem to work, I went into cpanel and replaced the whole thing there. Now all back to normal

In reply to: Update: V1.5―Getting Admin Area Fieldsets to Wrap in OperaEven though I returned the css file to its original state, now the Dashboard displays wrong and the banner on all admin pages is overlaying itself. In ALL browsers. Yuck!
Edit: ALL my admin pages display wrong now. Nothing wraps. Someone please tell me how to restore. As I said, I already tried reloading the original css file, but something beyond that has been affected by the changes.

In reply to: Update: V1.5―Getting Admin Area Fieldsets to Wrap in OperaThis didn’t work for me – in fact it just messed up the display of the banner on that page. I’d really like to have a solution to this, as I love Opera otherwise.

In reply to: Shoutout – Please look at the siteIn Opera 7.51, the picture is obscured by an opaque menu. In IE, the transparency works. Nice design otherwise.

In reply to: Masked forwarding and on-site linksI’ve made no changes in the Permalink options or the .htaccess file. After experimenting, I see that if I put the url of my main site with WP’s subdirectory in the Options’ “WordPress Address” field — i.e. the real address — and put the masked address in the “Blog Address” field, then I encounter the problem with categories and archives. If both are the same, no problems.
However, when I do that, the outcome of ALL links, even those for external sites, is my (masked) address in the browser address field, seemingly forever, until the window is closed. Probably this is not a WP issue, but I wonder if there’s a way to prevent that.
