Why Is Firefox 2.0.0.3 on “OS X” Not Rendering CSS My Site?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-why-is-firefox-2003-on-os-x-not-rendering-css-my-site/) * Thread Starter [spencyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencyb/) * (@spencyb) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-why-is-firefox-2003-on-os-x-not-rendering-css-my-site/#post-541841) * Yeah, IE doesn’t like respecting that rule (and, apparently, there’s no solution– at least with the way my CSS is structured) . I reinserterd the hack that turns off that feature for IE users. Oddly enough, I think that the offsite image also played a role in randomly disappearing bottom borders between posts. * I also have a whitespace in lists issue in the sidebar. After I get these issues sorted, I plan to relase the theme for public consumption. * Thanks for your help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Need Help With PHP to Customize Password-Protected Post Notification](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-php-to-customize-password-protected-post-notification/) * Thread Starter [spencyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencyb/) * (@spencyb) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-php-to-customize-password-protected-post-notification/#post-532153) * OK, so to answer that final question (I’m kind of talking to myself here, no?) I had to hack my wp/includes/formatting.php: * in: * function wpautop($pee, $br = 1) I removed “form” and “input” from: * $allblocks = ‘(?:table|thead|tfoot|caption|colgroup|tbody|tr|td|th|div|dl|dd| dt|ul|ol|li|pre|select|map|area|blockquote|address|math|style|script|object|param |p|h[1-6])’; * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Help!

I had hastily rearranged the DOCTYPE declaration, the php to list stylesheets and the php to list my js. I got everything working by switching where the css and js links were (as recommended by nakedape) and it started working again. * Everything seems to be rendering the same in IE6, Safari and Firefox on both Windows and Mac. I’m scared to run my site through IE7 to see all the errors. I hate hacks. * Thanks again. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Need Help With PHP to Customize Password-Protected Post Notification](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-php-to-customize-password-protected-post-notification/) * Thread Starter [spencyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencyb/) * (@spencyb) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-php-to-customize-password-protected-post-notification/#post-532145) * Well, I finally figured it out. Here’s the code I used: * ``` function get_the_password_form() { global $id; if ( get_post_meta($id, 'livelink', true) ) { the_excerpt(); $output = '

This article was published by ' . topcat_get_the_main_category() . ', which holds the copyright. You can view it live on the ' . topcat_get_the_main_category() . ' Web site. A password-protected archived copy is available on this site.

'; return $output; } else { the_excerpt(); $output = '

' . topcat_get_the_main_category() . ' holds the copyright to this article. Unfortunatly, an online version of it is unavailable on the ' . topcat_get_the_main_category() . ' Web site . You can view an archived copy here if you have a password.

'; return $output; } } ``` * That outputs two different messages. One if the custom field “livelink” is filled in, and another if it’s not. Again, I am using the Topcat plugin to display a bit of text. * I have one final question — not that my first one got answered. Does anyone know why, despite the way the code appears in $output in get_password_form(), WordPress insets line breaks (br /) in between the label, input and sumbit button? I want my password form to look like: * Password: [__________________] [Submit] * instead of: * Password: [__________________] [Submit] * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Problem With Order of Nested Categories in Permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-order-of-nested-categories-in-permalinks/) * Thread Starter [spencyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencyb/) * (@spencyb) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-order-of-nested-categories-in-permalinks/#post-529777) * The “clips” part of the URL does NOT come fromt he category base, by the way.

I can’t tell you why it works, but I can tell you that I figured this out by messing around for a couple hours. Here’s what I wrote for my nav: * ``` ``` * I have a static home page and a posts page defined in WordPress and this code makes everything highlight properly. * In “exclude=141,158” 141 and 158 are my the page IDs of my home page and index pages respectively (be sure to write the lower number first). In “a href=”/clips” >Clips” clips and Clips are the page slug and page name of my index page. * You can check it out in action [on my sandbox page](http://schadenfreutastic.com/)( which is liable to go down and/or change.) * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [College newspaper site powered by WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/college-newspaper-site-powered-by-wp/) * [spencyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencyb/) * (@spencyb) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/college-newspaper-site-powered-by-wp/#post-531735) * Bryan, * That looks fantastic. You should consider putting a package together and offering it to ofter schools looking for alternatives to the CollegePublisher network. * For what it’s worth, I’d reccomend taking the text decoration off of anchor links and maybe using a font that looks a bit more newsy — bold and sans serifed — for headlines (talk to your resident Quark addicts, they’ll know what I’m talking about). * I wish I had a guy like you around when we redesigned our site in college… * Spencer * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [In 2.1, I can’t create or edit published Pages, or delete Posts or Pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/in-21-i-cant-create-or-edit-published-pages-or-delete-posts-or-pages/) * [spencyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencyb/) * (@spencyb) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/in-21-i-cant-create-or-edit-published-pages-or-delete-posts-or-pages/#post-520015) * I had to manually delete my .htaccess file and then click update permalink structure.
