Tom Morton

Hmm, well the next step is to deactivate your current theme. Lets say your theme is called “Toms-theme”. Go to WP-Content, themes and rename “toms-theme” to “toms-theme-1” and visit the wp-admin. This will default your wordpress site back to the twentyten theme and “hopefully” get your admin panel back.

Let me know if that works. If not, we try more ideas!

This sounds like what you need is a custom theme option that displays a widget on the dashboard. Not something that is easily explained in a forum post, you can do some searching or fire me an email at my website, the link is next to my picture.

Some reading on custom dashboard widgets

If you’re seeing a white screen when visiting your site and the dashboard, login to your FTP and go to WP-content. Change your plugins folder to plugins1, then go to your dashboard. This will deactivate all your plugins and you should be able to login. Then change the folder back to plugins and reactivate them.

What is the point of this? The reason I ask is there is no real way to kill comments without (probably) breaking your site or what you want to achieve.

If you are looking for people to vote on your posts, why not try any of these plugins that will attach themselves to your posts, not your comments:

Funny you mention this, I did a similar thing not with posts but with pages and a custom theme menu. I think this might work:

<?php 

    $single_posts = echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Products', true);

    $post_array = array($single_posts); //construct array for single posts id's

	$args = array('order' => 'desc', 'p' => $post_array);
    $single_post_fields = new WP_Query($args); 

    $count = 0; ?>
    <div role="complementary" class="homepage-widgets" id="footer-widget-area">

	<?php while ($single_post_fields->have_posts()) : $single_post_fields->the_post();
    $count++;
    $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

		<p>Whatever your HTML and WP stuff is to call the post (the_title, the_content, etc)</p>

    <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

I haven’t tried it, but its similar to my page code so it should work.

Not sure if WP automatically adds pages to feeds, I don’t think it does.

Try this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss-includes-pages/

That is coming up because that tag does not exist within your WP Site.

You can edit that message, depending on your theme, in the category-loop.php, the category.php or maybe even your archive.php.

Look in those files and perform a text search (usually CTRL-F or COMMAND-F) for “nothing found for tag”
