In reply to: Title Bar Repeats on Static PageHello:
I’m returning to this issue here. This is all pretty Greek to me, the PHP.I’m confounded as to why the title bar displays the way it does considering that it’s part of the default theme, and that I haven’t touched any code that I know of to make it that way.
If I could get some guidance on where to pinpoint the issue, I’d appreciate it very much. I’m pretty happy with the theme overall, but the page title at the top looks distracting, and I plan on creating an additional page for a contact form. I feel that it will become the same problem as my “About Velanche” page.
In any event, thanks for reading and looking forward to some assistance with putting this issue to bed.

In reply to: Twenty Ten Theme – CSS Opacity Wrapper and ImagesHey thanks a lot! Indeed, that did the trick and worked nicely.
Well I’ve just found the answer via some Google searching; just had to uncheck options for commenting and trackback/pingbacks for the page in the Pages area of the admin. Much easier than I thought and super cool.

In reply to: Title Bar Repeats on Static PageI’m not so sure. If it was the header.php file, then wouldn’t that have affected the title bar for the other links (category-based) as well?
Or a better question may be, what should I be looking for in header.php that distinguishes Pages from categories, code-wise?
By the way, I’ve modified the Twenty-Ten theme, so the only thing I’ve done to the header had to do with the header image itself, which was done via the Header section of the Appearance area.
Thanks!

In reply to: Twenty Ten Theme – Menu BrokenWell you’re right; it’s definitely a plugin problem because I’ve disabled all of them and the menu was restored. I guess I’m going to find out the culprit soon. Thanks.

In reply to: HTML Changes During Editing of Postthe above link was helpful, but I think with the latset release of WP (2.8.4) I noticed that this issue cleared up. Any code that I type in holds true and does not change on me. Not sure if the link above fixed it or if it’s been addressed in 2.8.x release, but I’m set. So closing this out.

In reply to: Pages Appear As PostsThanks for the advice; works. Not sure if I’ll keep the theme, but at least I know what to do now.

In reply to: Pages Appear As PostsMuch obliged, Ninjaboy. I’ll play around later and let you know how it turns out. Don’t think it’ll be that difficult, but good to know where to look.

In reply to: Headers Are Broken After Upgrade To 2.2Nevermind…I figured it out.
I borrowed a theme called “Landzilla From The Swamp” and have modified it over a year ago to incorporate into my site. The banners have displayed fine at the time, but I ended up with having my site not fully validated but left it alone.
With WP 2.2, full XHTML validation seems to be in place. When i ran Web Developer’s validator to check the CSS, it had a parse error running one of the banners located in the image subdirectory of the “Landzilla From The Swamp” directory. Taking a closer look at the parse error, I noticed that part of the URL had “Landzilla-from the Swamp” spelled….there were spaces in the URL and clearly it’s illegal.
Checking the CSS in the Theme section, the theme was spelled “Landzilla-from the Swamp” with one dash and spaces between the other words. So adding dashes in place of the spaces, and doing the same for the theme folder, not only got the graphics to display again, but the CSS is now valid as well! The XHTML code needs fixing for proper validation, but the errors are minor and I can do those another day.
Good to see progress on that front.

In reply to: Subscribe2 and 403 errorI’ve found my error, but I’m still at a loss…
I’ve eventually got it working, somewhat. I have it to where it sends out a confirmation message. When the person clicks on the link, however, a 403 error results. The offending link adds a /wordpress/ path, and it’s only by me removing that part of the path that the confirmation was successful.
My core WordPress files are in a /wordpress directory, whereas my index.php file for my site is on the root level. The subscribe2.php file has a bunch of “siteurl” references in it. I’ve tried replacing “siteurl” with the absolute address of my site, but it wouldn’t take. If I change the siteurl, it could break things left and right.
Is there a handy workaround that I need to insert in the code, or modify in myPHPAdmin, or whatever it takes to get the plugin to work proper? Thanks.

In reply to: Urban Landscapes Radio Website: now WordPress-PoweredThanks all…guess a little change makes a big difference. 🙂
Ladydelaluna, I’ve been kinda/sorta fighting with that one. I’ve actually copied and pasted the entry from my old Blogger account (via my domain). I would take out the
stronglink (or links), and WordPress would put them right back in. It’s a bit of a pain, but I may have to look a little more closely to fix that one.I’ve used the import tool for all but about six entries while the site was being produced. I wasn’t sure if using the tool again would end up doubling my entries and cause me to do massive cleanup.
But yeah, I’m going to have a look at it within the next few days to tackle it. I don’t think it’ll be a big deal once I start to blog via WordPress (or a reliable browser plug-in) exclusively).
Okay, will check here periodically for more feedback while doing computer stuff during the next several hours.

In reply to: Urban Landscapes Radio Website: now WordPress-PoweredI’ve increased the font size for readability. The style sheet of the theme originally had the body at 10px; it’s now at 12px.
I plan on making a brand new theme in a few months’ time. The original plan was to do one based around a theme, but I’ve had to put that off for another time.
Thanks for the comments so far. Please keep them coming.

In reply to: Moved index.php to Root but Permanlinks Won’t UpdateThanks for the help.
The actual problem was that things broke down when I’ve tried putting in the index.php at the end of the root address in the WordPress Options area. I wanted to do this while fixing up the site, but removing the file name has permalinks working again.
It’s the little things. 🙂
