In reply to: A “Translated by” FieldOh, you could just try something like:
<?php
$translator = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘translator’, true);
if ( $translator ) {
echo “Translated by: $translator”;
}
?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: A “Translated by” FieldIt would be simpler just to list the translator along with your other custom fields (if you have any) by placing the call
<?php the_meta() ?>where you want it to appear. Then if your Key for the custom field is “Translated by:” and the Value is the translator’s name, the credit will only appear on posts that have that custom field attached.HTH.

In reply to: Advice re: CSS – differences in rendering in Safari and FirefoxIt looks as you want it here in Safari 3.1.1. What version of Safari are you running? Earlier versions of 3 had some weird layout bugs.

In reply to: wp-spamfree and super cache gzipThanks! Actually, I just moved to a host with server-wide gzip, and WP-Spamfree seems to be happy with it, so all is well. 🙂

In reply to: how could i remove word “category” from urls?neither should you ever put %category% in it.
Here you go again! Some users want to organize their sites that way, and it makes perfect sense for some collections of content to be organized in exactly that way. If you don’t understand it, fine; if you say well WordPress wasn’t really designed to act that way, fine too; but don’t try to tell users how they must build their sites as though they’re wrong to have that preference.

In reply to: how could i remove word “category” from urls?Lol, well ok I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. 😉

In reply to: How to display random posts?Or, via a magical 2 seconds with google, you could always go straight to the Random Posts plugin. 😉

In reply to: how could i remove word “category” from urls?BTW I did get as far as figuring out how to wrap a category archive in a Page, but though that would make the per-category paging nicer, it still wouldn’t be a fully consistent solution sitewide either, as the category links generated from
the_metawould still point to the regular category archives. Oh well. 😉Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: how could i remove word “category” from urls?No, I got your explanation, and I thank you for it. I entirely agree that my redirect is “a halfway solution at best”. For me that’s better than no solution.
The problem really boils down to your hostile attitude. You say I’m abusing WordPress by trying to make it do what I want; and you keep insisting that this thing, that many other users also want, is a stupid thing to want.
If WP developers don’t want to implement this feature, that’s an entirely reasonable decision in my opinion and I’m not going to cry about it. Just don’t try to tell the users they’re idiots for wanting it.

In reply to: Problem with URLNo problem – just remembered: try the WWW-redirect plugin to force things to be as you want them. (I use it on one of my sites to force no-www, but you can do it your way too.)
You might have to wait a little while until the behaviour becomes consistent since DNS caches around the internet might have to catch up.
If google had previously indexed your site as no-www, I believe it will have to gradually reindex the entire thing now it’s www. You can use the Google Sitemaps plugin to help with that.
Good luck!

In reply to: how could i remove word “category” from urls?Uh, but my matching rules do work. Check my site’s “articles” tab if you don’t believe it.
Moshu: you may not care about this yourself but the hundreds of comments on pages announcing the various plugins that try to offer this capability (which unfortunately don’t work) indicates that actually quite a lot of WP users would like it.

In reply to: Problem with URLThey should be exactly the same unless your WordPress installation lives in a separate folder ie not in your site root. If the wp-config edit didn’t work I don’t have any more ideas as to why you’re having trouble. 🙁

In reply to: how could i remove word “category” from urls?Uh, didn’t you read the next sentence, where I explained how I fixed the category archive? I said it was a “hack solution”, but it does (most of) what I want it to. YMMV.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problem with URLYou didn’t say where you changed the urls: was it just in the General Options panel? Try putting these lines in your wp-config.php after the
define('DB_HOST'line:define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.yoursite.com');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.yoursite.com');Does that help? Also, I presume you are not using any www-redirect plugin or something like that?
Also, did you flush your IE7 cache? 😉
