Otherwise, if the file is at the root level, just use the file name * so you might use something like: * .htaccess /wp-includes/js/quicktags.js /wp-content/themes/mythemefolder/myfile. php * remembering that your header, footer, sidebar, category templates, etc are all within a theme folder. Sorry if this seems simplistic, but I’ve only worked on one WP site and it helped once I learned this. * Because I am building this for a client and I am responsible for all upgrades to WP, I don’t mind modifying some of the admin pages to incorporate changes that make the client’s job managing content easier… and my client didn’t like the “no such file exists” error in the manage>files (recent files) list. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WP for a non blog website?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-for-a-non-blog-website/) * [syncbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syncbox/) * (@syncbox) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-for-a-non-blog-website/#post-385546) * Hi, Kutitots Have you thought about writing an article on HOW you set up the products section of your site?

I **am** using /%category%/% author%/%postname%/ in my custom permalinks and am able to access the stats now without issue. * WP2.0.2 * 1) edit the .htaccess file via the Manage>Files admin page (no direct editing or ftp) 2) use this fix: * # WP Fix RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond%{ REQUEST_URI} ^/stats/(.*)$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/failed_auth.html $ RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L] # END WP fix * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond%{ REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index. php # END WordPress * 3. note, I believe if you use FAlbum, that set of rules should remain at the top. I placed the above code below the rules for FAlbum * HTH, AND THANKS! to Brianarn * PS. I posted this solution over at the DH forums, too, so that others don’t spend the hour I did, pulling out hair, etc * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [UserExtra plugin conflict with Falbum?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/userextra-plugin-conflict-with-falbum/) * Thread Starter [syncbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syncbox/) * (@syncbox) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/userextra-plugin-conflict-with-falbum/#post-383086) * OK, I’ve found a temporary fix for this by commenting out line#766 in userextra. php where the code is: * add_filter(‘the_posts’, array(&$userextra, ‘filter_posts’)); * it seems to prevent the issue but I believe the issue is related to this plugins ability to limit editing of categories for specific user levels – not sure why it kicks in just for viewing any category. The userextra fields for allow and disallow categories is present on installing and activating this plugin. I did not alter those, nor have I used them… as I am not sure how to. * For anyone who knows the plugin author or is familiar with this plugin.. do you have falbum running and are you seeing any related issues? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [MUST I LEAN HTML AND CSS?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/must-i-lean-html-and-css/) * [syncbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syncbox/) * (@syncbox) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/must-i-lean-html-and-css/#post-367187) * I think you are delusional to think you can modify a wordpress site to get the results you want if you think you don’t need to understand xhtml and css. * honestly. When things blow apart or when you need to understand a “block” of content, if you don’t get html and css, you won’t know how to fix things. * That’s comparable to saying you don’t need to understand the big picture of what a dynamic site is all about to use wordpress. Maybe you don’t, IF you just use it as it comes – out of the box – but to make any mods, you WILL need to know what controls what and how. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [plugin readme.txt files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-readmetxt-files/) * Thread Starter [syncbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syncbox/) * (@syncbox) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-readmetxt-files/#post-370510) * I typically unpack into the plugins folder so that I * a) have the zip file there in case something gets corrupted and I need a new set of files (don’t want to have to go get it again) b) I extract per the author’s suggestions and this is where the issue exists. Why do plugin authors’ assume their readme file is the only one? c) not all plugin authors place their readme file inside a folder with the other plugin files. * It’s just a suggestion. By doing something like geoposition_readme.txt as opposed to readme.txt, I KNOW which file goes with which php file. Seems logical to me to prefix your files with the plugin or author name (or some combo of both) to prevent exactly this kind of problem. Keeps the files closer together in the directory, too. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Is there a way to modify the login form?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-there-a-way-to-modify-the-login-form/) * [syncbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syncbox/) * (@syncbox) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-there-a-way-to-modify-the-login-form/#post-370470) * don’t forget to modify the wp-register.php file as well… * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [How can i make the sidebar “inline”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-make-the-sidebar-inline/) * [syncbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syncbox/) * (@syncbox) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-can-i-make-the-sidebar-inline/#post-370469) * 1) copy all the code from sidebar.php 2) presuming you understand css layout and have a design all ready for it, you’d paste it into a footer.php file 3) modify the relevant css to change how sidebar ul and li tags (even nested ones) are rendered… to float the list items. * You have to have a pretty good understanding of CSS and xhtml. Expert, actually. Which means you have to edit style.css * Otherwise, I’d suggest finding a theme that already uses a horizontal navigation layout. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [photo gallery which uses wordpress pages?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/photo-gallery-which-uses-wordpress-pages/) * [syncbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syncbox/) * (@syncbox) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/photo-gallery-which-uses-wordpress-pages/#post-370831) * FAlbum (flickr album) does, though getting it to work in a custom theme is a bear… besides the directions provided in the wiki at Randombyte ([http://www.randombyte.net/wiki/falbum/falbum](http://www.randombyte.net/wiki/falbum/falbum)), you have to meet these standards if your wp theme is custom: * 1) the opening body tag MUST be in header.php 2) you have to modify wp-content/ plugins/falbum/wp/album.php to modify it to conform to your custom template, or the “large” view of your image can blow your layout apart. * And of course, this presumes you store images a flickr.com * HTH * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [HOW MUCH COST FOR USING?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-much-cost-for-using/) * [syncbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/syncbox/) * (@syncbox) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-much-cost-for-using/page/2/#post-368067) * well, tell us the prank – some of us are new here.

Same site: [http://schoonermaggieb.net](http://schoonermaggieb.net) * I have set up a “bread crumb” page title trail in my pages (for instance, the Ship’s Library pages) so that if you click to go to SnapShots (using the menu in the left sidebar) the page “title” looks like: * Ship’s Library >> Snap Shots >> * The link up (ship’s library) is working, thanks to the insight you provided in this thread… but here’s an odd thing… on the snapshots page, one of the posts includes a link that opens a slideshowpro flash slide show. That works ok (still need to tweak it a bit) BUT, if you click UP (on the Ship’s Library breadcrumb link) that post’s link is no longer there! The TEXT of it is, but the link is missing. * Any ideas about that? I’ve noticed that happening using excerpts as well – if I set my category templates to use the_excerpt rather than the_content html formatting goes missing – for example, strong or em tags display in the excerpt but when you click to see all of the post, they don’t. * What’s that all about?
