In reply to: WP 2.5 – Permalinks work – but not for pages!Hi,
I just upgraded a site to 2.5 and we’re having the same problem with none of the permalinks working for the PAGES. I’m not using a plugin, however. I’m just using the CUSTOM STRCUTURE permalink setting with the following:
/index.php/%category%/%postname%/Using one of the other default permalink formats is not an option since it’s important for SEO purposes to have the category name in the url.
Any help on how to fix this pages permalink problem would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Why does it only cause a problem with the permalinks for pages, and not for the posts?

In reply to: How can I give the default search widget a style?Hi,
I too would like to style my widgetized sidebar. I would like to add a separator line after each UL li element, so each menu item has a small separator line below it (it’s for aesthetic reasons as I will have some long page names that wrap onto two lines.)I can create a div element in my CSS sheet and apply the padding-bottom and bottom-border attributes, but where do I put the div in the code?
I’ve located the widgest.php file in the includes folder, but I have no idea where to insert my <div id=”separatorline”> code to make this work.

In reply to: Can’t get widgets no matter whatMoshu,
I did not see your “you have to activate it in plugins post” before I posted my next post where I mentioned the confusing widget creator’s instructions. I made that post immediately after my first post, as an after thought.
Today, I received your post and my previous post in my inbox, so this is the first time I’ve seen your “activate it in the plugin directory” reply.
In any event, I of course looked in my plugins in my Admin screens to try to activate it, but it does not show up there. When I first looked at the plugins list, I thought maybe it doesn’t show up because it’s a widget. Now you’ve told me that a widget is just a fancy plugin, so I’m assuming it SHOULD show up in the plugins list…but it doesn’t. I can’t activate it if it doesn’t show up in the list. The widget php file is definately in the plugins folder.

In reply to: Can’t get widgets no matter whatI also see that the widget creator gives instructions to install the Sidebar Widgets plugin for WordPress 2.0 or higher. I thought the Widgets plugin was no longer needed with WordPress 2.2. In fact, I believe I’ve read other posts where people have had problems when they have both the Widget Sidebar plugin installed AND have the wp core widgets.
Here’s the link to the widget instructions.

In reply to: Can’t get widgets no matter whatThanks. I dropped the widget php file into my plugins folder but when I go to the Widgets tab of my Presentation menu, the new widget isn’t there. Do I have to add some code somewhere?

In reply to: Can’t get widgets no matter whatHi,
I read this whole post,but I think I missed something. I’m using WP 2.2 with a theme that is widget ready and I’m already using some of the standard included widgets (search, pages, categories.)Now I have downloaded a third-party widget and would like to know how I can get that to show up as an option in the Sidebar Widgets in my admin screen. The widget I downloaded is a single php file. Where do I put this file? I don’t have any folder in my theme called widgets, but the current sidebar widgets definately work.
After I uploaded the widge file somewhere, do I have to add some code to the functions.php file mentioned above? I looked at the functions.php file in my theme and the only thing in it is:
<?php if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) register_sidebar(); ?>Is there no easy way to add new widgets to a theme (like prior to v.2.2 when you just installed the sidebar widget plugin,then dropped the new widget into the widget folder in the theme?

In reply to: Password doesn’t work after initial logoutI have access to the database, so I changed the password on one of the users, but it still didn’t work. Because it seemed to weird that none of the user logins were working, I didn’t think it was a problem with the database, a typo, caps lock or the usual data entry things. I had the passwords documented and they all worked fine yesterday.
So, I took a look at the login page. When I tried to log in today, I went to mydomain.com/wp-admin/ which opened up a login page…HOWEVER that login page doesn’t work or is not correctly wired to the database, or something because when I go to mydomain.com/wp-login.php everything works just fine and I’m able to log in with all users’ passwords.
