In reply to: Inserting a PDF into a PostNo, what kmessinger is saying is that you are asking, here on this forum, a new question. You are asking a question unrelated to PDF insertion. Because of this new question, kmessinger is letting you know that you’ll have better luck starting a new post/thread/page HERE on THIS forum to ask your question as currently only kmessinger and I will see THIS thread about PDFs.

In reply to: Mirror site on same server for quick testThe steps are exactly the same whether you make the site local, or live. In fact, in the documentation where it talks about intercepting wp_options table information, it specifies online references.
For example, if your normal installation is http://my.web.zz/wordpress and your development one is http://my.web.zz/wordpress-dev you can do the following; the example assumes you want siteurl=home for simplicity.
/* put this at the very start of get_option() in functions.php */ if ($option == 'siteurl' || $option == 'home') { $currenturi = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; $mypos = strpos($currenturi, 'wordpress-dev'); /* are we looking at dev site right now? */ if ($mypos !== false) return 'http://my.web.zz/wordpress-dev'; } /* continue on with normal method, if we are not looking at dev site */As well, be sure to update .htaccess in your development version.
Don’t use localhost, use a sub domain of your current site, dev.mysite.com or a sub folder, http://www.mysite.com/dev. This information works for both local and non-local development testing.

In reply to: Switched Servers, Can't LoginHere are some tips to troubleshoot your issue. The issue here is a WordPress white screen of death! Might be a mis-configured plugin that happened during the move. Since you can’t log into WordPress’ admin area, you’ll most likely need the FTP approach:

In reply to: Adding recent postsThis might be a good alternative. I know you were looking for a next and previous to show 5 posts at a time, but this is a pagination plugin. You can set it up to show 5 posts, then you’ll get pagination instead of next and previous.
I’ll keep looking… this can easily be done manually too, if you’re not interested in plugins. I don’t know your experience level.

In reply to: Footer link routing back to main pageIt’s because your code is incorrect. You have:

<p><center> © 2012 Utrecht Central. Hosted by <a href="http://www.ukrhosting.net"> UKR Hosting</a></center></p>Notice you were using two apostrophes (‘) at the beginning of the url when it should have been a double quote (“)

In reply to: Override twentyeleven functions.php using child themeGood call on the not being pluggable piece. I’m surprised it isn’t!!! WordPress developed the theme… you’d think they would use their own advice for development 🙂
No harm, no foul… but a nice article! Thanks.

In reply to: Override twentyeleven functions.php using child themeFirst, you’ll want to read this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
In there, there is a line that says
TIP FOR THEME DEVELOPERS. The fact that a child theme’s functions.php is loaded first means that you can make the user functions of your theme pluggable —that is, replaceable by a child theme— by declaring them conditionally. E.g.:
if (!function_exists('theme_special_nav')) { function theme_special_nav() { // Do something. } }In that way, a child theme can replace a PHP function of the parent by simply declaring it again.
Best of luck!
