 * Dude, Moshu knows what he’s talking about in this case.
 * You asked for help with your page and he pointed out that the theme you are using
   is a wreck.
 * If you know better, why do you need to ask for help ?

 * Damn, that Adhesive plugin is so useful and yet it breaks a lot of other good
   stuff.

 * I checked Sidebar Modules out for a few minutes today, and it seems pretty clever–
   it does all you want, and is a good way more capable than sidebar widgets – it
   also is compatible with any widgets you have installed, and includes its own 
   PHP modules and things like that (a module is a widget is a module). I didn’t
   go through it thoroughly because I haven’t had time yet, but it has been recently
   updated and was a project started before sidebar widgets. If it works out I will
   definitely switch to Modules, the features are very handy.

 * Sorry to bump this again but I think this is a closely related issue that does
   not appear to be resolved by this thread.
 * When I switch from one format of permalink to a new format, I expected WordPress
   to update the rewrite rules so that when someone clicks on an old-style permalink
   into the site, the .htaccess would recognise the old link and redirect it to 
   the new permalink for the same entry.
 * However, this does not appear to be the case. According to the posts above, if
   my old permalink format included “category” and my new one does not, then a link
   to the old style permalink would result in a 404.
 * This seems to me to be contrary to the idea of permalinks, and seems to mean 
   that if you even slightly change your permalink structure on a site after it 
   has been running even a few months, you will break every incoming link on to 
   your site.
 * Is this really the way it’s supposed to work?
 * I assumed the “update permalink structure” button took care of redirections from
   the old permalink structure, but it appears not, since member Tack describes 
   he had to do his own rewrite in another thread: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49540?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49540?replies=2)

 * Yeah I’d missed the User option for rich text editing, which seems to override
   the global option which I had checked, until after I’d posted. That helped some.
   I’d experimented with the nested-XHTML option but that didn’t seem to change 
   the problem. Now I have XHTML nesting off AND the User RT option off it seems
   to be working.
 * I admit I’m a noob at this but I kind of expect an editor to write what I send
   it. Is it bad XHTML just to throw in in a `<br />`?
 * But I did like to throw a post together with the RT editor – there seems to be
   no way to switch between them without the RT editor going to work on the code.
