In reply to: Featured Image 'Suddenly' Not Working!?I’m having a similar issue. Sometimes I’ll see the “save all changes” for a second and then it disappears. Without the save all button in the thick box, I can’t actually save the changes!
I got it to work once with some combination of insert into image and update, but I can’t recreate it now. Definitely a bug.

In reply to: BRINQ – the workshopSomeone asked me recently “What is the base of the pyramid, is that like the four food groups with sweets on the top?”
Umm, ah no.
Sorry, obviously did a bad job of explaining that one in my last post.
The base of the pyramid refers to the the 4+ billion people living in the base of the world’s economic pyramid, generally on less the $2 a day of income. Most often the term is used to refer to businesses and organizations trying to enable these huge new markets while uplifting people out of poverty. Difficult certainly, but there’s a huge upside potential if your business can do it. The BRINQ blog is about all the cool things going on it that space, with special attention paid to toys!
By the way, at BRINQ, instead of BOP we like to use the phrase the “Brink of the World”, which has its own confusions, but allows us to run around Leonardo DiCaprio style shouting “Woohoo! I’m on the Brink of the World!!”

In reply to: addition of Title / Description / Meta?This works great when looking at pages for individual posts, but when the blog index page is brought up on its own it seems to pick a random post to get the excerpt.
Is there an elegant way to check to see if you are in an individual post or on the index page? That way, for the meta description, you can use your blog description for the index page and the post’s excerpt for an individual post.

In reply to: WordPress no longer finds plugin directoryAh, played with the file permissions on wp-content to get it to work. I have no idea how they had changed. Needed to add execute privilegs to wp-content.

In reply to: WordPress Function ReferenceThanks for the help, that’s exactly what I was looking for! I kept doing searches in wiki and couldn’t find anything, searches aren’t much good if you’re not looking for the right thing!
Speaking of which, I still couldn’t find start_wp in the list of tags, I know it’s found at the start of main loop, but I saw some wordpress calls in the <head> section of index.php . I was getting some errors from trying to make similar calls in my own attempt at an index file, so I was wondering if start_wp needed to be called first and what it’s usage/syntax was. So does start_wp fill in the wordpress data structures from the database to get it ready for retrieval?Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: problems with new installation: log out and categoHmm, I swapped out wp-login.php with what sexygeekgirl offered up in http://wordpress.org/support/index.php?action=vthread&forum=3&topic=7229&page=1 also mentioned in the login FAQ. I first manually deleted my wordpress cookie from my computer though (don’t know if that mattered), but it allows me to log in and out now. Oh I also had to reset my admin password in the user database too (also mentioned in the FAQ) using phpMyAdmin . . . after downloading, installing, and configuring phpMyAdmin (didn’t feel like doing it manually in MySql). Thank goodness this is just the test run!
Long and short, the login FAQ at http://faq.wordpress.net/view.php?p=68 was helpful.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: problems with new installation: log out and categoI’ve got the same logout problem, cannot logout of my admin account. So far in searching through the support listings I’ve found other people with the same problem, but no workable solution suggested. (Asking authors of the blog to clear the cookies is not a workable solution in this case.) Anybody?
I’m trying to decided between WordPress and Movable Type 2.66 for a new project, unfortunately this logout thing is troubling.
