In reply to: Changing the default length of the_excerptI’ve created a simple plug-in for the WordPress backend to make it easier to change the length of the excerpt – without having modify any code.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/excerpt-length/
Because it makes use of new API hooks, it only works in WordPress 2.7 and above.
As for changing the length of the excerpt in the RSS feed, try this:
In the backend, go to:
/wordpress/wp-admin/options.php
Find an option calledrss_excerpt_length– the default value is 50, change that to the number of words that you want to appear.If there’s a demand for it, I may apply the default excerpt length to the RSS feeds too.
Alternatively, if you still want to add the code to your theme’s
functions.php, you can get it down to a one-liner:
add_filter('excerpt_length', create_function('$a', 'return 20;'));Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Collect user details before allowing downloadAfterhours and derherr… did you managed to find a plug-in that does this? (or find an alternative way of doing it?)
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in …..Hi Entertainers,
I’ve just encountered this problem myself. For me, it happened when I was moving my WordPress install from one server to another.
There’s more details on the official cforms II support forum:
http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-forum/troubleshooting/fatal-error-lib_auxphp-on-line-12/page-1/post-7767/#p7767Here’s what I did to resolve it:
1. Deactivate the cforms II plugin – I did this by renaming the “/wp-content/plugins/cforms/cforms.php” to something else (like “cforms.bak.php”)
2. Delete the “cforms_settings” row from the “wp_options” database table.
3. Activiate the cforms II plugin … and re-enter the forms config.Hope this helps!
Cheers,

In reply to: Akismet spam handling since version 2.1.8I am also experiencing much more spam in the “manage comments” section (along with email notifications). This has been since upgrading to 2.1.8.
Any ideas?

In reply to: changing header text to a logoHi Dawn,
I notice that you made the changes and it’s worked out for you.

In reply to: changing header text to a logoIs this the Blue Horizon theme you are referring to? (If so, then I’m guessing that you are comfortable with editing the files/CSS – as the colour schemes are different!)
OK, there’s a couple of things I noticed by looking at the CSS of your blog:
* The theme should have an “/images/” folder which would contain the following images: header.gif; icon.gif; icon2.gif;
* I notice that you have your own header.gif – but it needs to be in the “/images/” folder!
Now for the header text… what do you want to do with it? Change it or remove (hide) it completely?
If you want to change the text, then you can do that in the WP-Admin backend: “Options >> General >> Weblog Title”.
If you want to remove (well, hide) the header text, then you’ll have to manually edit the “header.php” file in your “blue horizon” theme:
* Open “header.php” in a text editor (like notepad).
* Look for the section that says:
<div id="masthead">
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<h2 id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h2>
</div>
Now replace it with the following:
<div id="masthead"><!--
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<h2 id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h2>
--></div>
What I have done is wrap HTML comments around the blog’s title and tagline in the header section. I could have removed it completely, but you may want to use it again in future!
I hope that works out for you.
Cheers,

In reply to: Links by authorHi cadweb,
If I understand you correctly, you effectively want a ‘Link Category’ for each author?
From my knowledge of the WP API, you would need to manually create a new Link Category for each Author, then call the
wp_get_linksbyname(author_name)function, passing the author’s name to it (which would be the alias for the true link category name).Hope that helps some?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Links by authorhi cadweb, you can list all the blog authors in your template by using the following WP/PHP code:
<h2>Authors</h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_authors('show_fullname=1&optioncount=1&exclude_admin=0&hide_empty=1&feed=&feed_image='); ?>
</ul>I’ve included all the params that are available to the API call, play around with them until you’re happy with the result!
The links generated by this call will go through a page that will display all the posts by that author – if you want to customize this, then make sure you’ve got the
author.phpfile in your current theme directory.
