In reply to: Is there a way to exclude a page without requiring a plugin?Ah, true… I guess I figured if you wanted to see the page for whatever reason, you could use the preview/view link in the admin backend.
Good catch deepbevel!

In reply to: Adding conditional statementdoes the archive.php page have a proper loop set up? I doubt that “page.php” would be trying to show what you see on the blog section. “page.php” is usually used to show “pages”, not “posts”. Since it’s using the right template, and archive.php is being included, there must be something wrong with archive.php. Any chance you could post the code somewhere?

In reply to: Is there a way to exclude a page without requiring a plugin?Why not just set the page to “draft”. Then it won’t be published for people to read. When you want it back, publish it again.

In reply to: Adding conditional statementwell, the only other thing that I can think of is to try this:
<?php if(is_page(30)) include('archive.php'); else include('slideshow.php'); ?>This will check that “page_id=30” piece you have and hopefully trigger the response we want!
Under settings->reading do you have a “posts page” selected? You could always try setting that back to “Select”. Unless you are using a specific page as a template?

In reply to: Self-hosted blog admin login redirects to wordpress.orgHi megs1383,
It looks as though half of your styles and scripts point to http://wordpress.com/meganmakes/wp-content/themes/folioway and the other half point to http://meganbastian.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/folioway/. Pretty weird!
I’m not sure what the upgrade could have done to the database to make some changes, but one thing you could try is FTPing into your site, downloading and saving any .htaccess file you come across, then deleting (from the server itself) those same .htaccess files.
I’m guessing one of those has some bad data in it causing the redirects to happen. Let me know if that works.

In reply to: Adding conditional statementOk… well that’s because http://go-parkcity.com/themebuilder/?page_id=30 is acting like your “is_front_page()”. Try this:
<?php if(is_home()) include ('slideshow.php'); else include ('archive.php'); ?>Or if you need to make other pages different too…
<?php if(is_home()) include ('slideshow.php'); elseif(is_front_page()) include ('archive.php'); else [some other include here] ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding conditional statementWhat do you mean by “both pages”? It’s either the home/front page or everything else! Give me an example of the two pages in question. Or possible links?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding conditional statementIt sounds to me like you want the index.php to use ‘slideshow.php’ for the home or front page, otherwise always use ‘archive.php’. Is that correct? Because you have an elseif in there which is only used to add a possible third outcome. Why not just do:
<?php if(is_home() || is_front_page()) include ('slideshow.php'); else include ('archive.php'); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding a random number to post_classTry…
<?php $num=rand(2,4); ?> <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('box col'.$num); ?>> ... </article>This isn’t tested, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

In reply to: Why is wordpress telling people my pages don't exist??I’m not sure… I’ve tried on a few different machines now, and it seems you resolved the issue. Maybe the people still experiencing these problems are seeing cache related issues on their own machines? How many “complaints” are you getting?
If you know someone who’s having an issue, ask them to clear their browser’s cache. If they are using Chrome, have them click the wrench in the upper right corner, then go to “options”. From there, click on “Under the Hood”, then “Clear Browser Data”.
See if that helps… other browsers will be similar to clearing cache, but it will be named something different. Give that a go and let us know from there. If you don’t see the issue, and I don’t see the issue (on at least 4 different machines and browsers), then it must be with the end user at this point. Cache has good intentions, but sometimes it stinks!
No, all should not be lost. Do you at least have access to your database? Through phpmyadmin or something? If not, the host should at least be nice enough to do a dump of the database and send it to you (you’ll have to prove that you own the site). That’s where all your posts and other pertinent information is. Call, beg and plead for that database dump. With that info, you can rebuild your site. You might lose your images though.
If you don’t know SQL or have an understanding of how WordPress uses it’s databases, then find someone who does. You’ll probably have to pay them, or if it’s a close friend, maybe buy them a beer or something.
If you get that information, then do as I mentioned before and build your own version of WordPress instead of using theirs! You’ll have full access to all files and database material.
One last note… if this host does not at least recover your database for you, find a new host and report them to the Better Business Bureau. Cause in my opinion, that’s just poor customer service. It takes seconds to do a database dump…
There shouldn’t be a lot of .htaccess files. One on the root is the most common scenario. Sometimes you’ll have one in the wp-admin folder. If you have a lot of them, you may want to look into WHY… that’s very unusual.
And, any file with a . in front of the filename is “hidden” on servers by default. A typical FTP program should be able to see them. If not, check the settings of the FTP program to see if you can hide/show hidden files.

In reply to: One particular page not appearing??Actually, it looks like you have a physical folder on the root of your domain called shop. Try FTPing into your site and rename the shop folder to something else. Then see if your wordpress shop page shows. If it does, then you just need to figure out what to do with the shop folder.
Yes… download the file locally so you can put it back if needed. But delete it off the server.

In reply to: CSS3 and Internet explorer – background imageNo… IE6 does not support this type of reference… you can try one of these methods:
1. Forgot trying to get this to work in IE6. Microsoft doesn’t even support this browser anymore, so what does that say?
2. Manually add a class to these tags and get them that way
3. Use jQuery to add the styles/class name
4. Try using the IE7.js library to make IE6 act like IE7 and up… may or may not work based on the version of IE you are trying to use. http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/
