In reply to: Can’t Make New Static PagesK, got the permalink structure to take, but still can’t create new static pages. Instead of getting the “not found” page I get my site’s 404 page. Not sure if that’s significant or not.

In reply to: Can’t Make New Static PagesI put the htaccess file into the WP directory with the same code that the WP admin permalinks page suggested but the new structure still didn’t take. Still can’t make new static pages.

In reply to: Can’t Make New Static PagesThanks for the suggestion MacmanX, but that didn’t work. I still get the “Not Found” message when I create a new page. I can still edit the thing inside of the WP admin.
Oh wait–actually, I just noticed that the new permalink structure didn’t take. I checked the permalinks page and it says my htaccess page isn’t writable, yet, I know it is–CHMOD’ed to 666. The htaccess file needs to go into the root directory? Or the WP directory? Right now, it’s in my root.

In reply to: Can’t Make New Static PagesThanks for the link and I thought that worked, but it ended up not working. In fact, the situation is so screwy I can’t figure out what the hell’s going on.
I can create pages with the title “test” but can’t seem to create pages with any other kind of titles. I’m quite baffled as to what’s going on. I can’t seem to find anything stable about this beyond that calling a page “test” will work but anything else is zilch.
I just tried to create a page called “flumox” and it didn’t work. Very strange, indeed.

In reply to: AudiobloggerActually, evilwilly, who posted above, pointed out to me in a post on his site that this is not a big deal at all–the emailed posts from Blogger.com have a timestamp of a few minutes into the future. This means that if you just sit tight, WP will process the entry once it’s literal time comes.

In reply to: comment ID: how do I get it in 1.5.1.1?Thanks, Firas! You are a prince among men!!
Uh, I’m guessing that you’re a guy, anyway…
Oh and your site is gorgeous. I wish I had your design sense. Very neat and tidy. Just redesigned my site basing it on Kubrick because my last site design was even more clutered than I managed to make Kubrick.
Anyway, thanks again for your help!

In reply to: comment ID: how do I get it in 1.5.1.1?Thanks for your attempts Firas! Alas, none worked. Sorry about that.
I even tried tweaking it a bit with my meager php knowledge, but no luck. Thanks for trying though!

In reply to: comment ID: how do I get it in 1.5.1.1?Damn, I meant to post “Category” in the title, not “comment”. I didn’t notice until the post was too old to edit. Sorry about that.
Is there maybe an admin that can change that to “Category” so I might actually get replies?

In reply to: AudiobloggerK, I *finally* have the email posting thing working. There’s one weird problem though–with audioblogger/blogger.com’s email-a-post feature, it only worked once. Now when I post an audioblog or a regular text entry, it doesn’t full post an entry on my site. I can see the post on the main Manage-page, but when I click “view” I get a page with no entry on it.
This doesn’t appear to be a problem with WP since I’m able to send emails from anywhere else. It just seems to be a problem with the emails from blogger.
Any ideas?

In reply to: How to remove bullets from link categories?Thanks for the links! I actually managed to suss it out myself. Thanks anyway, though!

In reply to: How to remove bullets from link categories?Blast, that didn’t work for me. Really, I’m just trying to ditch the bullets in the meta section, but the above solution didn’t work at all. Once again, I think I’ve overtweaked my sidebar code. :\

In reply to: help with email postingWhile there is a lot of help to be had on these boards, Logan, often, when people don’t know the exact answer to your question they don’t bother to even suggest things. Everyone means well, but sometimes it gets very frustrating. I’ve got 2 issues left to work out in my WP 1.5.1.1 install but no one’s replying… I can’t complain too much, though since the times I get ignored are few and far between. I just hope some one does come through for us. I wish us both luck!

In reply to: Getting the category IDWell, this is funny–the solution that Alphaoide suggested (and his post) seems to now be missing. Of course, I used it and it has worked quite well. However, now that I am upgrading to 1.5.1.1 it no longer functions.
Does anyone know how I can get this:
<?php $catlist = get_the_category();
foreach ($catlist as $cat) echo $cat->cat_ID ?>to spit out an image tag with the proper id number in front of the jpg extension? That code seems to put out what I need, minus the context I need it in.
In other words, what I’m trying to do is have an image for each category show up based on each category the post is in. I think that explanation makes sense.
So, if my blog has three categories (1. junk, 2. stuff, 3. things) and a post is in all 3 categories, I should see something like:
<img src=myblog.com/images/1.jpg><br /><img src=myblog.com/images/2.jpg><br /><img src=myblog.com/images/1.jpg>Thanks in advance!!

In reply to: help with email postingHere’s another question–as a test, I changed the login password on my website’s admin control panel but did NOT change the password in WP. Shouldn’t I get a password error or something?
