In reply to: Tags to Categories?I also didn’t realize the change from categories to tags was so catastrophic and that there was no going back.
After researching how to do what eikep suggests, I went into mysqladmin, pulling up the database, clicking the SQL tab at the top, and entering:
UPDATE wp_term_taxonomy SET taxonomy = replace(taxonomy,"post_tag","category");I didn’t get the response I thought I would (~an error message) but it worked. Thanks, eikep!

In reply to: Undo convert categories to tagsI found answer to my question — how to undo Categories into Tags — here:
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Undo convert categories to tagsTo convert tags back to categories, what changes need to be made in the database? I use phpMyAdmin, and the categories that were converted are still there…?

In reply to: using variables before get_header()Thanks daltonrooney. I will try that out.

In reply to: How to have varied headers for different categories?Thanks, moshu. Sorry for being unclear.
In single post view. This will be for a CMS-type site with 8 main categories (and many sub-categories).
I am investigating/wondering if “Add Your Own Headers” plug-in can accomplish this?

In reply to: How to have varied headers for different categories?I am wondering if the way to accomplish this it to add an option in Write/Manage to select a header/theme of your choice for each individual post?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: using variables before get_header()daltonrooney, could your solution be configured to pull a different header file (header-1.php, header-2.php…) depending which category the post is in?
I am wondering if a site has 40 categories or whatever, but a set of main categories (say, 1-8) could be set up for the different headers?
Do you know how? Sorry, I am a newbie with PHP and am trying to figure out how to have a different color of header for the major categories… I’m confess the multiple conditions are beyond me.

In reply to: How do I create a non standard distro for my affiliates?I am interested in the same thing — cloning the same functionality of bundled plugins and settings to different websites.
In my case, after banging my head on the painfully-hard wall commonly known as Joomla, I would love to use WP as a CMS (for several web sites in development right now, and for others in the future, I’m sure).
Yet, I am having trouble pulling together all the functionality needed — namely, going beyond chronological posts to controlled, single-page posts within a complex category/sub-category system, yet still allowing for the occasional Page for static content (including the homepage).
My little dream is that a WordPress-as-CMS distribution would help popularize WordPress adoption, make content- and category-heavy website development more easily done, and help save the world a little bit at a time.
But back to the main point, if a plugin-laden and specifically-configured WP distro cannot be done, then that’s that.
I will fold up my little dream of a glorious future filled with WP’s beneficent world domination as the ultimate CMS, and put it away with a resigned sigh.
So, can distros be done? And, what about WP/CMS distros?

In reply to: “Categorical Links Page” plugin not working!? Not working in 2.1, or…?I upgraded to 2.3.1. With the different versions, here’s what I get at http://growandknow.com/learning/?page_id=12 :
– With nouman6’s version, no content appears (including text).
– With Kafkaesqui’s downloadable version, again no content appears.
– Kaf’s fix that MichaelH posted, no content either.
– With the original plugin, available for download from the WordPress site, I get the error:WordPress database error: [Table 'anyth1n6.wp_categories' doesn't exist] SELECT DISTINCT cat_id, cat_name FROM wp_categoriesFWIW, the “Code” view of the page’s entry actually reads:
This: "<!--catlinkspage-->" is pasted in the Code content below. <!--catlinkspage--> <code><!--catlinkspage--></code>I’m sorry, I feel completely idiotic at this point. Is there another plugin that does the same/similar?

In reply to: “Categorical Links Page” plugin not working!? Not working in 2.1, or…?nouman6, thanks for the code(poetry). I replaced the previous file with the code above, yet still got the following (located at http://growandknow.com/learning/?page_id=12 :
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AS cat_id, name AS cat_name FROM INNER JOIN ON .term_id = .te] SELECT DISTINCT .term_id AS cat_id, name AS cat_name FROM INNER JOIN ON .term_id = .term_id AND .taxonomy = 'link_category'Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Category List PluginI think the one you are looking for is Categorical Links Page.
It seems to be a popular plugin, and an essential one for using WordPress as a CMS, e.g., http://www.pqdb.com/wordpress-articles/using-wordpress-as-a-cms-content-management-system/
However, I at least, have run into some technical issues in running the plugin with the latest version of WP:

Anyone who knows how to make it work in the latest versions (or does have it working on their site), please post.

In reply to: “Categorical Links Page” plugin not working!? Not working in 2.1, or…?Thank you for your response Kafkaesqui. I still get the error at http://growandknow.com/learning/?page_id=12:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AS cat_id, name AS cat_name FROM INNER JOIN ON .term_id = .te] SELECT DISTINCT .term_id AS cat_id, name AS cat_name FROM INNER JOIN ON .term_id = .term_id AND .taxonomy = 'link_category'Is it possible there is something wrong with my databases or install? The site seems to work well otherwise.

In reply to: “Categorical Links Page” plugin not working!? Not working in 2.1, or…?I appreciate your help. I downloaded your version of the file and replaced it — tried deactivating other plugins, etc. I’m sorry but I continue getting the error:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘AS cat_id, name AS cat_name FROM INNER JOIN ON .term_id = .te]
SELECT DISTINCT .term_id AS cat_id, name AS cat_name FROM INNER JOIN ON .term_id = .term_id AND .taxonomy = ‘link_category’Any ideas on what can be done?
