In reply to: Post to archiveA quick way to ensure that a new post is displayed in the archive view, but not the main index view, is to set the post’s timestamp in the past.
On the “Advanced Edit” screen, you can adjust the post’s time stamp before saving it. If you set it earlier than any of the posts currently on your front page, the new post will not be displayed on the front page.
Where are you seeing this error?

In reply to: Subscribe plugin messed up!Please understand that I’m not trying to be snotty, or superior. I’m trying to help you help me, so that together we can fix the problem.
I know what a pain it is to read through 250+ comments, which is precisely why I closed them on that post, and made new posts for subsequent releases.
I know how frustrating it can be to try to work through a system you don’t fully understand.
I’m glad you were able to fix the problem.

In reply to: Subscribe plugin messed up!Looking further at the floral theme, it’s clear that this is a CSS issue.
Compare these lines from your main index:
<body>
<div id="main">
<div id="posts">
<h2>September 19, 2005</h2>with these lines from the output of subscribe.php:
<body>
<div id="page">
<div id="header">
<div id="headerimg">
<h1><a href="http://blog.well-of-dreams.com">Well of Thoughts</a></h1>
<div class="description"></div>
</div>
</div>
<hr />
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn"><div class="post"><p>By subscribing to this service you will be notified every time a new post is added.</p>Feel free to adjust subscribe.php to use the
mainid instead ofpage, and to remove theheaderdiv.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Subscribe plugin messed up!wellofdreams: if you look at the comments on the original subscribe2 post, you’ll see that I’ve explained there at least twice how to place the HTML form elements in your sidebar.
The issue is, though, that the form needs to POST somewhere, and the submitted data needs to be processed. This is the function of subscribe.php. So even if you place the HTML form in your sidebar, you’re still going to need subscribe.php to handle the submitted data.
It would be extremely helpful if you could be more precise when reporting back here. Saying “no, that doesn’t fix it” doesn’t tell me much. I assume you’re responding to me request to adjust the location of
get_sidebar(), but that’s not entirely clear. Precision is important when reporting problems, or the steps you’ve taken to resolve a problem.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: posting closedThe best anti-spam solution I’ve found is Bad Behavior. It detects specific bot behaviour and prevents them from even seeing your comment form. It has substantially reduced the amount of comment spam on every site which has installed it.

In reply to: How effective is blogging for SEO?WordPress does well in SEO. It’s not something in which I’m at all interested, but I know a lot of people specifically select WordPress for the SEO pursuits, because WordPress does so much so well.
See the Nofollow documentation for links to two plugins that can disable nofollow in WordPress.

In reply to: Commenting and Trackback etiquetteAt least two (actually more) plugins exist to disable nofollow in WordPress. See the bottom of the Nofollow documentation for links.

In reply to: Subscribe plugin messed up!What Viper007Bond meant when he said
prefix_optionswas to use the prefix value as defined in yourwp-config.phpplus the literal word “options”. In your case, as listed above, your prefix iswp_, so your options table iswp_options.Look for the options named
templateandstylesheet. Both should have an option value offloral.If you activate a new theme, from the Presentation menu in your admin area, does subscribe.php behave properly?
If you edit subscribe.php and change the location of the
get_sidebar()call (as described here), does subscribe.php work properly?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: posting closedAre you using any plugins to auto-close comments after a certain period? Are you using any anti-spam plugins? If so, try disabling them, to confirm that they are not the problem.

In reply to: wp_posts.myi?The MySQL database cannot find the files it uses to store your database. w_posts.myi is a file used by MySQL to store your wp_posts table — the table that contains all the data about your posts.
This may be a permissions issue, or it might be that the file was deleted (or corrupted in some way).
Your host is truly the only one who can help you, because they’re the ones in control of the MySQL database. They can check file permissions, check disk and filesystem integrity, stop and restart the database, try
mysqlcheckto have MySQL verify its tables, etc etc.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can comments be moved from one post to another?If you have phpMySQL, you could indeed copy-and-paste the line above mutliple times, taking care to adjust the comment_ID and comment_post_ID as needed for each comment.
Terminate each line with a semicolon. You should be able to run more than one query (as terminated by a semicolon) from inside phpMySQL. Try it using two or three seperate queries inside the query entry window, and see if all of them execute. If they do, then you can try more. I don’t recommend doing more than five to ten at a time, just in case something goes wrong.
