In reply to: Deadline – 4 specific posts on a template page.Try reading the stuff in Template_Tags/query_posts – I think that may be what you need: specifically, about 2/3 down the page, this section:
showposts=1 (you can also use showposts=3, or any number to display a limited number of posts

In reply to: It’s ZoneAlarm — Gotta be…The ONLY ZA product which does not at this point in time cause major problems with access all over the ‘net is the free version. I “regressed” to it from the paid suite about 6 months ago (after nearly going bald and voiceless over the stuff that was happening) and haven’t had any trouble since.
I tried comodo’s firewall, Sam, but it actually gave me more trouble than ZA Suite did. Comodo’s Ivault is a priceless little applet though….

In reply to: Posts have no Body to them – Upgraded to 2.1Weeellll…. if this were me, and the change in the dashboard was at the same point the rest of the blog broke, I’d go into wp-admin/index.php (assuming that’s the name of the file under 2.1, and I can’t say I know that for sure), and delete all of the stupid rss crap that feeds into there.
Do that, and if your blog works the way you expect after, then I guess you found the culprit….

In reply to: Dynamic Menu HighlightingYou might want to hit http://themes.wordpress.net/, search for wp-andreas01-12, and look over the code for the dynamic highlighting in that theme.

In reply to: Very Very WhitePersonally, I LOVE italics for things like h1 etc. And links, but in order to not bork the world’s most broken browser you have to go to INORDINATE lengths…. usually not worth it (especially if developing for client sites).

In reply to: internal server errorTry clearing your browser cache and then CTRL-F5 hard refreshing. If that doesn’t help, maybe do a search for how to clear the wp-cache (if you have one).
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Transfer posts to new intstallShould be easy enough to do unless they did something wonky with 2.1 (always possible….)
Here’s a tutorial on the import process: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/restore/

In reply to: Cant drag Widgets !Huh. Y’know, I’m using the oldest version of widgets on 2.0+ installs all over the place; I have a couple of clients who installed 2.1 and are using the oldest version (since that’s what they had available, and they didn’t check for newer). NONE of us are having any trouble of this sort with either version of wp. And we didn’t move the js stuff anywhere either….

In reply to: Adding class to A tag not LI on UL listsWell, first you need to tell people what theme you’re using and probably post the style.css and code from the relevant .php files to http://wordpress.pastebin.ca.
And yeah, I’ve converted a PVII menu (among others similar) to work with wp. It wasn’t easy, and I charged the guy $750 for it.

In reply to: Custom Theme ProblemIt’s always been a bad idea to name cats same as pages or vice versa. Can break all sorts of things, as you seem to have discovered.

In reply to: wordpress in my own index.htmlWordPress requires a .php extension. It won’t work in a .html file.
You probably should read some of the documentation to get started: [[New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start]]

In reply to: regarding the word, “blogroll”As long as “blogroll” (the name) is editable, it’s just semantics. Of course, I’m not using 2.1, so I dunno, maybe it’s NOT editable now?
[IF that’s the case, and this were me, I’d edit it in the core and say screw it I’ll update the file every pissy upgrade forever…. but that’s just me….]

In reply to: database restoration problemYou probably need to list what errors you’re getting.

In reply to: Site DevelopmentI generally just put up an index.html file while in dev mode (on a live site – mostly though I develop using xampp locally) – if you WANT to access the wp blog for dev mode, you can, but anyone else just gets the generic page (at least on my servers, where any index.html or index.htm always takes precedence over index.anything else….)
