In reply to: Allow file uploads box missingAnyone? Anyone?
I also have another comment–the new file upload feature isn’t very intuitive. I fiddled with the damn thing for several minutes and couldn’t work out how to get the thing to dump any code into the text field.
I really like much of the changes in 2.0, but a couple don’t seem to make a heck of a lot of sense.

In reply to: Search only in the discussion forums?Thanks for the Google suggestion, too. Too frustrating that the embedded search doesn’t work, though…

In reply to: Email Post to someoneI think he’s changed his code since you did that because lines 62-66 don’t look like they’ve anything to do with smtp working or not working. I’m no master at PHP, but can’t PHP do email natively? Why use PHP to send an email with SMTP? Anyway, I’ve tried for a while to get Lester’s script to work and have had no luck and he’s kind of slow to post help in his forum. I’m not blaming him, we all have lives away from our web work. 🙂

In reply to: e-mail this postI can’t get any of Lester’s plugins to work on my WP install and soltifoff’s zip file has been moved. Are there any other options?

In reply to: allow multiple blogsThanks for the advice, Joni! I’ll check out MU WP. You understand me correctly–essentially, I just want to have a page that will display a single author’s posts, but that page should be customizable so that it will look like said author’s blog and not just the main blog.
I’m still concerned about my existing db. I’ve got a lot of posts and moving them around makes me nervous…

In reply to: allow multiple blogsIs it possible to install a version of MU WP and use it with a db that was filled with data from regular WP?
In other words, I have been using regular WP for about a year now and would like to allow my fellow bloggers a page for visitors to see their posts only in a page of their own design. However, I’d still like to see their posts appear on a main blog page. Is this possible with MU WP? Hell, is it possible with regular WP? You’d think it should be.

In reply to: Looking for plugin… Allow commentors to have signature??Here’s what I’m looking for along these lines:
A way to edit a sig file from inside the WP admin. Each file is named for each author and through the use of a tag (like “http://yoursite.com/signatures/'<?php the_author() ?>'”) I can set a file like that up for each of my authors, but I don’t have a way to allow them to edit each file easily. To me, this seems like a simple thing to set up–of course, I have no idea how to design a WP plugin, so it’s easy for me to say that.

In reply to: Writeable .htaccessMy problem is that permissions are properly set for 666, yet WP claims it’s still not writeable. What’s worse is when I update htaccess myself, it screws up everything. Anyone accessing my site now gets a server error until I delete my htaccess file. Even a blank htaccess gives me errors.
I’ve fixed it for now, however. Though, I’d really like to know why with the instalation of 1.5.1.1 WP suddenly can’t write to my htaccess file. Maybe it’s that the WP directory isn’t the root directory?

In reply to: Show posts only in archiveHey Minna, I’m already able to display only one category on another page–which is what your tag does. I’m interested in hiding everything about a certain category on the main page including from the recent entries/archives list/tag.
If you go to http://thepete.com/free.php I’ve got all the entries from category 117 displaying there. (There’s only one right now.)
But on my index.php, the full entries don’t show up, but the title does in the “recent entries” section in the side bar. Any ideas how to beat this? I’m using
<?php if (in_category(117) && !$single) { ?>to exclude the category from the main page (index.php).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to hide posts from 2 or 3 categories from index pageI’ve found my solution using another plugin–but I’m still interested in finding a way to hide posts from the list created when using the
<?php get_archives('postbypost', '5'); ?>tag. Any ideas?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t Make New Static PagesWell, I checked with my host and they are saying all of my htaccess files are definitely writeable by any script that may want to write to them. So, something’s got to be up on the WP side of things. This was kind of obvious since everything worked fine under 1.5–it’s 1.5.1.1 that is doing something differently. I guess we just need to wait until the next major change in WP and upgrade yet again unless someone can help us suss this out.

In reply to: no index.phpWell, I managed to get back to using permalinks, which, as I understand require the htaccess file to be written to when pages are created. If I understand correctly, if I can avoid using the “nice” permalink structure, I won’t need to worry about the htaccess file being writable when I create pages. See, for some reason WP says my htaccess file is not writeable (writable?) despite the fact that I’ve CHMODed it to both 666 and 777 at different times.

In reply to: no index.phpI’m having this same problem and all that happens is that it just reloads the index.php. Any other ideas?
