  • Hello Otto:
    I’m trying to get a grasp for your how plugin is supposed to work, and if I need to disable any features in the Dashboard.

    I want to make a new static page, and move most of my sidebar links there. The problem that I’m having is that when I save the page, the PHP code of the get_links function for each category is stripped.

    I’ve installed and activated your plugin, then redid the page. But even after copying/pasting the appropriate info from the sidebar, the PHP code is still stripped after pressing the “Update” button in the HTML editor

    Clue me in, will ya? Thanks a lot!

    Noted for next time.

    I’ve since edited the code so it works with the various browsers (at least on the Mac side, Safari, Netscape and Firefox), but at the expense of tossing validation.

    See the thread at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/80166

    Thanks,

    Well it’s always the simple things, aren’t they?!

    Thanks a bunch…that did the trick!

    Not sure yet about what happens when I add “pages” to the code, but I’ll try that tomorrow.

    Solved it…

    The form needed the <div> tags within the code to validate sucessfully. At least now my home page is valid; still need to check other pages, but it’s a good start.

    Thanks for the reference, moshu. Found that there’s no in_page conditional. Tried “is_page” conditional” but there’s no change.

    Query answered by the Feedburner peeps. I will just copy my WordPress source feed address in the Edit Feed area to replace the old one. This should leave my other info, including the iTunes info, unchanged.

    Also was told that I can only do one audio podcast per post…bummer, but now I know.

    Some bright person ended up writing a bit of code that I’ve copied/pasted into my sidebar.php template, and it seems to work rather nicely. I didn’t get to thank the person for it, so I’m sorta trying to search him out so that I can get the link and help out others.

    Turns out that I had to turn off URL rewrites in the regular Gallery page (sans WordPress), then turn it on in the wpg2gallery.php window. Did the trick!

    Hey Podz:
    So I’ve kinda/sorta made slight modifcations to your code in order to work with my forthcoming site, but I’m a bit sqeamish to try it yet. Wanted you or someone to double-check and answer a question or two before I give it a go.

    So this is the code that I would put into my header.php file in the theme I’m using. I have multiple banners that I’d like to invoke, depending on the category or page…

    <div id=”header”
    class=”<?php if(is_home()) echo(‘header1’);
    elseif(is_category(‘Charts’) ) echo(‘header2’);
    elseif(is_category(‘News’) ) echo(‘header3’);
    elseif(is_category(‘Playlists’) ) echo(‘header4’);
    elseif(is_category(‘Reviews’) ) echo(‘header5’);
    elseif(is_category(‘Podcasts’) ) echo(‘header6’);
    elseif(is_page(‘radio-show’))echo(‘header7’);
    elseif(is_page(‘about’))echo(‘header8’);
    elseif(is_page(‘press’))echo(‘header9’);
    elseif(is_page(‘dj’))echo(‘header10’);
    elseif(is_page(‘contact’))echo(‘header11’);
    elseif(is_page(‘guestbook’))echo(‘header12’); ?>”>“><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
    </div>

    At the moment, my style sheet has the header like this…

    #header {
    background: url(images/ul-banner.png) no-repeat;
    height: 145px;
    }

    So would I be able to get away with making something like…

    #header2 (and the code)

    Or do I need to do it another way? I’m intrigued by getting this all to work with a minimal amount of coding. Thanks in advance!

    Hey thanks for the clarification!

    I’ve actually put the form method code within the sidebar. While that was able to display, I’ve had fits figuring out why the smaller code did not work. But once I’ve added it just above the form code, I was able to move forward.

    I’ve ended up with a few other errors on top of it, but I was able to figure things out and now it’s working. Thanks very much again for the assistance!

    Damn, damn, and triple-damn….

    I did it!!

    Thanks to your suggestion, I was able to get localhost working again.

    In addition, I’ve found in my remote that for some reason, both siteurl and home had an extra http:// next to the remote web address. Not sure how it got there, other than…*cough*…user error.

    And it only took me no more than about 20 minutes.

    I will take your suggestion on changing the index within th next few days. Again, permalinks are already in place.

    Thanks very much for the help. Now I can focus on putting the rest of the pieces together.

    Peace out,

    I will have a look at the above later on…thanks for sticking with me.

    The path:

    /cgi-sys/php-fastcgi/wordpress/index.php

    is on the remote server; however, my account is shared hosting as opposed to my own dedicated server. So any further insight as to what I should be looking for would be good.

    My host’s Apache installation appears to be in /usr/local on my host provider’s UNIX server, if that helps.

    Any further insight on this? Meanwhile, will check the other items later. Thank you.

    Yes, I’ve had permalinks turned on locally.

    But now I fear that I might have created a problem that I’m unable to get out of. I was following instructions somewhere in the Codex to change to my new domain address in two fields in the Options area of the WordPress Admin Panel before FTPing the WordPress directory to my remote.

    When I type localhost:8888/wordpress, I can see my chosen theme and pages. But when I try and access the admin window, it brings up the admin window on my remote server (because after all, I did change the site location per the pre-upload instructions).

    Can I change my local settings back by going into phpMyAdmin to the wp_options and setting the values to localhost again, or is there another way?

    But in the grand scheme of things, I don’t think that permalinks are the problem on the remote side. Any other ideas?

    Thanks,
    Velanche

    Okay, I’ve managed to copy the .htaccess file (which wasn’t on the remote) to the wordpress directory, and also changed the url in the two sections of the wp_options areas of my database.

    Still no change when attempting to access http://www.urbanlandscapes.org/wordpress. In fact, this is the 404 error I get…

    Not Found
    The requested URL /cgi-sys/php-fastcgi/wordpress/index.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.34 Server at urbanlandscapes.org Port 80

    Hope this will help move things along.
