In reply to: New Users, and Conditional TagsHi Barfly,
You should probably post this up in the MU forums: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/(It looks a little borked right now, but I’m sure it will get the same love and care as the main .org site.)

Or, having taken a quick jaunt over to your site, scan your wp_options table for yoursite.com/blog and change it back to yoursite.com/wordpress.

It sounds as if you changed your blog URL, but not your WP URL. If you have phpMyAdmin, you can manually update it in the wp_options table. Just scan it for yoursite.com/wordpress and change that to yoursite.com/blog and you should be able to log in and access the site like normal (assuming you still have the /blog/ folder in use).

In reply to: Some pages now not working after upgrading to 2.5By any chance, are you using a FAQ manager plugin or did you manually create each sub-FAQ page in WP?
If it’s the former, the plugin is most likely not compatible with WP 2.5 and if it’s the latter, you may need to tweak their slugs and double check to make sure they’re assigned the FAQ as a parent page.

In reply to: if WP can deal well with tens of thousand topics?Your site currently has 1.3 million posts? If so, you may need to hire a competent developer to build you an optimized solution behind the scenes. I’m sure WP could probably handle it — think about WP.com and NYTimes et al, but you’d need some serious scaling with that many posts (assuming you also have a high amount of traffic).

In reply to: How to restrict the front page to one blog post?Do you just want to display the one most recent post on the homepage, or do you want a static front page?
If it’s the former, you may be able to get away with something like
<?php if(is_page('home') && !is_paged()) { query_posts('limit=1'); } ?>just before the start of your loop.If it’s the latter, Options -> Reading, and select the page you’d like to use as your static homepage.

In reply to: Problems with page order and text justificationHere’s another link to the plugin as it appears the one in extend is only for the 2.5.x branch.

In reply to: Problems with page order and text justificationHi Cookie,
You’ll need a plugin to accomplish the first task.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-page-order/The second is being caused by your stylesheet. (i.e. check your style.css file and changed any justified text — text-align: justify; — to text-align: left;)

In reply to: Supr Preppy WordPress ThemeThanks tatgirl, I’m glad you like it. Figured someone out there had to like a rainbow.

In reply to: 2.3 > 2.5 Problems! PLEASE HELP ME!!Hi Jason,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unless you actually made a back up of your database, you’re SOL. Although your files were in separate folders, if you used your previous database information for the new WP 2.5 install/upgrade, then your DB tables were upgraded to the 2.5 format and there’s no going back unless you have your WP 2.3 DB tables backed up.~ Teli

In reply to: template questionIt sounds like you’re not necessarily looking to design WP themes, but wanting to know how to design in general. In that event, I would highly recommend reading some of the more well known and helpful design websites — especially those with a high inspiration threshold — such as Mezzoblue, Web Designer Wall, 456 Berea St, Jason Santa Maria, et al. Also, become familiar with a graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.
Finally, make sure you have a firm understanding of the basics of HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript. (The last is optional, but highly helpful.) There are plenty of great books on the subjects.
As Pinoy eluded to, however, web design is beyond the scope of the support forum.

In reply to: Can’t figure out where to fix this in the themeWhich browser are you using? Had a gander in Firefox and don’t see the scroll problem. On another note, you’ll most likely need to track down the search form in your sidebar.php or searchform.php file. You can also try adding
#sideBar {overflow: hidden;}to the very bottom of your style.css file and see if that corrects the problem.~ Teli

In reply to: Downloading ThemesAlso, double check to make sure it’s not a double folder — for instance: /theme-name/theme-name/ — as sometimes it happens during the unzipping process.

Hi Dave,
It looks as though you edited the wrong index.php file — if you’re trying to add AdSense to your theme, then you need to edit the theme’s index.php file. I surely hope you made a back up of that original index.php file because you’ll need to re-upload it to your blog’s root folder.~ Teli

In reply to: 2.5 password protect part of post only?Not without a plugin. And it’s not entirely clear whether the current plugins are compatible with WP 2.5 yet.
