I think it is probably best to switch hosting but I can help you out a little if you don't mind a huge time difference.

You need to do this: modify your style.css #sidebar and remove the float: right; and make the width: 514px; and the margin: 0px auto; and add overflow: hidden; then make the background repeat instead of repeat-x or just remove the reference to an image and set it as a color. But your page is super skinny. You'd be better off finding a them that is about 990 pixels wide and has navigation elements on the right. Your menu at the top is too big for the theme anyway.

Use Twenty Ten and pages instead of posts. It should work out just fine.

What is the code that creates the custom post type?
|
# ¿ Nov 8, 2010 04:08 |

You might need to change your permalink settings. I don't know if custom post types play well with id based permalinks. When you go from Admin does it take you to an id based url?
|
# ¿ Nov 8, 2010 06:21 |
|
look into $wp_rewrite - it has some functions where you define a new permalink structure and associate it with your custom post type. try putting this in your function to create the event post type. code:

BuddytheRat posted:EDIT: I did notice something though. When I do use pretty permalinks, being logged in makes no difference and it still won't work. But using normal links, being logged in makes it work. I think the code just rebuilds the .htaccess file to set up the permalinks. If you remove that code but don't rebuild the permalinks then the .htaccess file is still the same. I'm not incredibly sure though because I'm still relatively new to custom post types myself. Want to set up a guest login for me? I'll poke around and see what I can see!

I am in there and poking around. Very unusual situation here. I think one of the issues is that your events are scheduled and WP might not actually want to display content that is scheduled in the future unless we modify the call to get the post so I am looking into that on pages it knows are events.

BuddytheRat posted:Woah! That was fast. Thank you man, this is great! I guess I have a lot to learn. (And my google-fu could use some work, as well.) It was a very complex thing to put together on your own. The nice thing about WordPress is the people who develop WordPress usually start doing so because they are bloggers and if there is one thing bloggers like to write about it is about themselves and what they do. There are no shortage of answers out there but sometimes the documentation can be a bit lacking. Custom post types are also relatively new but the fact you added columns to the event type is great!

Is this incorrect and should I just have it all uploaded to the uploads directory? Am I opening up some security concerns? I'd try to put them in the uploads directory. If they uninstall the plugin do they lose those images?

Serfer posted:Is there any chance that there's a similar working plugin, or newer builtin functionality that can take what already exists and reuse it, or something that is easy to convert the existing data to. There is functionality called post thumbnails that was introduced in 2.9 that you probably want to incorporate with your theme. Basically you put a piece of code in your functions.php and you get a box on the right of each post/page in the admin that allows you to select an image from the media library. code:

Serfer posted:Ok, that sounds perfect, but, what about the older posts? Is there a way to integrate the already existing data with this? The short answer is no. The long answer is yes. Basically you have to check if the post has a thumbnail associated with it. If it doesn't, do it the old way, otherwise, do it the new way. You can always parse the content of old posts and pull out the first image.

I just want to get my personal blog stats OFF of my company's wp.com account and I want to be able to check my stats from my externally hosted blog. Do you have a personal API key you can reset?

Bojanglesworth posted:My actual question is, are there any goons that are available to make a simple theme based on what (I think) I need? I would use the same template for all of the blogs, so I only need one theme. Even modifying a theme that already exists would be fine, I just don't want something boring and plain. Thanks in advance guys! Can you get a designer to come up with a layout you like or create a wireframe? There are a few of us here who can probably build whatever you want.

Try adding this to your wp-config.phpcode:

You can hardcode it in wp-config.php for the time being in order to get back in and make changes. You can also modify the values in the database in the wp_options table. Usually you need to change two values in order for it to work properly. Check out this link - http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php WordPress URL and Site URL are the sections you want to look at.

GEMorris posted:What is a reasonable score in Yslow or PageSpeed for a wordpress based site? I'm using a template that utilizes a good bit of javascript, but I don't know js and I'm not sure I could successfully combine files. I have been able to use wp minify on all but three of the js files successfully. Try a plugin called head cleaner or w3c total cache. Also do what you can to make your JS load at the bottom of the page.

micropenis posted:• The title (which is linked to the tutorial URL) and summary text are displayed on the homepage. How about a plugin like this? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/ There are many plugins for managing custom fields. I think the only difficult thing is the favicon/website name stuff which you might need to manage with a custom post type or build a spider to go out and grab that stuff and insert it as a custom post type.

CaptainCrunch posted:I would like to make a page that lists podcasts, I.E. their titles, time, date posted etc. in a center column. Just like the blog "loop" in other words. If you put them in a different category then you can loop through that category with a different query. You'll need to have some javascript in order to make it play in a sidebar or an overlay but jQuery is easy. You can make it load an iframe somewhere or just do an ajax request to the single page template that the category for podcasts uses which would be modified to spit out exactly what you need to have the podcast load in the specific area. It's not very hard to do things properly.

But her entire site is this flash thing generated through wix.com, and I'm afraid to make any big changes; I don't want to upgrade to IIS7 (or migrate to Linux) and get WP working, only to find out I've killed the rest of her site. I'm waiting to hear back from the Wix folks about this. Thanks! Don't do that to yourself. Make it a subdomain and host it elsewhere.

The function it is calling only works on apache. If you have a different webserver it isn't going to work. Remove wp-debug and you'll be fine. That plugin hasn't been updated in 3 and a half years. It is poo poo.

NotShadowStar posted:This is more Drupal specific, but Wordpress has a lot of the same challenged and the community is much more active, so I'll ask here. You can have page-slug.php and if it is page-people.php then /people/ will map to people. Also, if you use templates and name them properly they can be selected from the individual pages. You shouldn't need to share a db. Either name pages using the slug or use the part where you go code:
Also, jackpot, you need to keep both of those fields. The WordPress address needs to know where things are actually installed - this is what will find your css and what not. The Site address is your homepage and can essentially be anywhere on the site and far away from the WP install as long as you have an index.php file that includes wp-load.php from your WP install.
