Modifying wp-rss.php to * $blog=1; $doing_rss = 1; $cat=-51; * did the trick! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Permalinks won’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-wont-work/) * Thread Starter [westpointer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westpointer/) * (@westpointer) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalinks-wont-work/#post-207432) * Correcting the path did the trick.

Of course it is not in / wordpress except relative to the docroot.

The issues seems to be with IIS. With Apache, if it sees a link like /?cat=1 it runs that as / index.php?cat=1. But IIS trys to actually run /?cat=1 which fails. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Index.php not in URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/indexphp-not-in-url/) * Thread Starter [westpointer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westpointer/) * (@westpointer) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/indexphp-not-in-url/#post-199804) * Thanks for the reply. The answer seems to be … it won’t work with this configuration! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Wp-Polls 1.5 updated](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-polls-15-updated/) * [westpointer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westpointer/) * (@westpointer) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-polls-15-updated/page/3/#post-182982) * Back again … my problem is a little different. The site I’m working on uses WP on the backend but most of the displayed articles use custom code, ie we don’t run a theme. * Here is our testing URL: [http://www.warfarehq.com/template1.php](http://www.warfarehq.com/template1.php). * I don’t run wp_head(), instead I call wp-blog-header.php at the top of my php page. Given that scenario, where should I place vote_poll() to get the cookie to set and not get the header error? * Thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Wp-Polls 1.5 updated](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-polls-15-updated/) * [westpointer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westpointer/) * (@westpointer) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-polls-15-updated/page/3/#post-182980) * GamerZ – can you post some example code of where to place * I can’t seem to get the cookie to set or get rid of the error message: * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent * Thanks! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Category-based templates/styles](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-based-templatesstyles/) * [westpointer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westpointer/) * (@westpointer) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-based-templatesstyles/#post-126672) * > That’ll work. You can also have per category templates. * How would you handle this if the permalinks are turning the cat into the friendly name? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Category-based templates/styles](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-based-templatesstyles/) * [westpointer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westpointer/) * (@westpointer) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-based-templatesstyles/#post-126671) * I understand how this code could by used to get a different style sheet.

Can someone hold my hand and show me what I’ll I need to change? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Default theme looks great in FireFox, aligned left in IE](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-looks-great-in-firefox-aligned-left-in-ie/) * Thread Starter [westpointer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westpointer/) * (@westpointer) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-looks-great-in-firefox-aligned-left-in-ie/#post-147153) * I edited the header.php file but that didn’t do the trick. What should it do when the second margin statement is removed? Does that resize the images or is it suppose to let the content area become wider? Page still looks fine in FireFox. * [http://brentandmary.net](http://brentandmary.net) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Default theme looks great in FireFox, aligned left in IE](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-looks-great-in-firefox-aligned-left-in-ie/) * Thread Starter [westpointer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westpointer/) * (@westpointer) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-looks-great-in-firefox-aligned-left-in-ie/#post-147082) * Ah … I see. FireFox is resizing the images to fit within the width specified by the stylesheet. Is there a way to code the image so IE does that too?
