In reply to: How to get this specific site indexed properlyThree possibilities:
1. Change your permalink settings to something like Custom Structure: /%category%/%postname%/ which should fix the problem you are asking about.
2. You can also manually edit the permalinks at the top of each post’s edit screen.
3. Since everything on your site, including the thumbnails, links not to content but to “adult friend finder” you may have been banned or demoted by Google, which may be the real problem.

In reply to: annoying & unexpected ad's on my wordpress site – any ideas?I didn’t notice anything in your code.
Are you sure that it isn’t from your web hosting company (i.e., they post ads on a “free” web hosting package)?
If not, has your site been hacked? Check for plugins that you didn’t install or look at your files (via ftp or your hosting account file manager) to see if there are unexpected files in your home directory.

In reply to: Display WordPress' gallery in sidebar?I should probably add that this is for a site revision that already has many, many images uploaded to display in the regular WordPress image gallery method, so using a plugin that requires you to re-upload images into the plugin is something we we need to avoid.
oic…
functions.php needs to have this added:
set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true ); // 50 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall, hard crop modeand NOT this:
set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50 ); // 50 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall, box resize modePer: http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/new-in-wordpress-2-9-post-thumbnail-images/
Hopefully, this information — and more — will be added to the Codex soon.
P.S. Please come up with more clever (read: searchable) names for WordPress features in the future: Featured Images, Custom Post Types, capital-P-Pages, etc. I mean really. How confused do you want us to get? You couldn’t have called them, like, “Thumbies,” or “Snippets,” or “Static Pages?” Anything unique will work. Heck, I wouldn’t mind if you called them rover, fido and spot, just please use searchable feature names in the future.
So, the “set featured post” function really does call the original image?
Really?!?!
Not to point out the obvious, but using full-size images slows down sites significantly.
To avoid that slowdown, developers would have to resize the image on their own, upload it separately, and set that user-created-thumbnail as the featured image. This is a step backwards for WordPress.
Why isn’t the “feature” grabbing the -150×150 thumbnail?
And is this the only info on this feature in the Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails ???

In reply to: Can't get comments on Blog- Help!Comments do not appear to be called for by your template. You may need to add them, or switch themes.
For info on the code required to display comments: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments.
If you aren’t very familiar with WordPress or PHP, you may find switching themes to one that displays comments easiest.

In reply to: How to just show a few lines of my postIt will vary by theme, and depend on whether you are using index.php or a Page (page.php) as your homepage.
You will find those in Admin > Appearance > Editor, listed on the right.
You may need to learn more about the WordPress Loop to find it; here’s the basic info: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop.
Good luck!

In reply to: Cannot see Featured Image optionThe feature has to be added to the WordPress theme that you are using.
There are instructions how to do that here:

Good luck!
Right, you create different sliders (say, from posts in a category) and then you assign those specific sliders to a particular Page/post (or category-##.php? I hope?).
I can’t figure out how to call specific sliders though…
Me too.
From http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smooth-slider/
“Highlighted Feature (from version 2.2) : Ability to create ‘Multiple’ sliders and an option to decide which post/page should show which slider”
I’m trying to do the same thing.
I did find this, which I’m trying out now: http://www.clickonf5.org/smooth-slider.

In reply to: Best way to remove "No categories" when no sub-catsTo answer my own question, here is what I have found:
In wp-includes is a file, category-template.php.
On line 454 (or so) is the line:
'show_option_all' => '', 'show_option_none' => __('No categories'),Replace the (‘No categories’) with (”), save the file and upload it to replace the old category-template.php file.
Every time you upgrade WordPress, repeat.
If there is a better approach, please advise below.
