In reply to: Add specific custom fields to a specific categoryIn the admin panel or the template? If the admin panel then a better path to go down may be to look at Custom post Types and taxonomies.

In reply to: Next page link causes error / website slower?It’s an option in the administration area:
http://www.aldenmarin.com/blog/wp-admin
If you can’t access the administration then backup and delete the .htaccess file and see what happens.
btw long time since I saw a blog running v2 I would get that upgraded pronto, may even fix your problem. 🙂

In reply to: Use the 'custom field' code in templatesYou could do it with css by making any overflow hidden but I don’t think that is the best way.
You can limit titles by adding the following to functions.php:
<?php function limit_title($title, $n){ if ( strlen ($title) > $n ) { echo substr(the_title($before = ”, $after = ”, FALSE), 0, $n) . ‘…’; } else { the_title(); } } ?>then outputting the title in the template with:
<?php limit_title($post->post_title, 30); ?>30 being the limit, you should be able to modify this example to fit your needs.

In reply to: Is word press right for me?Hi Chad,
WordPress certainly fits all your needs from what you have described. You should have no problem styling it to match your site if you know your way around xhtml and css.
You could always start with a basic theme (default theme), or a free WordPress framework (google) and then customise that to look like your site.
Good place to start is in the codex:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development2) WordPress is easier than ever to maintain, it notifies you about new updates to plugins and newer versions of WordPress from the dashboard and allows you to update/upgrade with a couple of clicks.
3) As with anything new it takes some getting used to but the back end is well thought out, well labelled and pretty straight forward to just jump straight into.

What if you just change from my example above of what to find:
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>with<img src="logo url" />?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: pretty vs almost pretty linksThat error is htaccess, what happens if you set the permalink structure to:
/%category%/%postname%/
And add the following to your .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressCHMOD should be 644

In reply to: Sidebar pushed to the bottom and I did validateGreat!
For the logo open header.php
look for:
<h4 class="left"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" title="Home" class="logo"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a> <span class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></span></h4>Replace with:
<h4 class="left"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" title="Home" class="logo"><img src="http://urlofimafe/image.jpg" alt="image description" /></a></h4>In my above example you need to replace
<img src="http://urlofimafe/image.jpg" alt="image description" />with the actual URL of your logo.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: conditional tags / background imageThe best way would be to simply replace your body tag with:
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>You can then style all these elements:

In reply to: Sidebar pushed to the bottom and I did validateI would go with making a backup and start with overwriting themes/modularity/library/apps/blog.php
then themes/modularity/sidebar.php
and see what happens, if it’s still broken then replace the whole theme with a fresh copy and go through a change at a time.

In reply to: Sidebar pushed to the bottom and I did validateWhat’s actually in the side bar apart from the calender and is that not a widget? Appearence/Widgets remove the calender, save, refresh etc.
The easiest way to make a backup would be via an FTP program such as FileZilla. download the whole theme folder wp-content/themes to your computer.
