You could fix it actually by removing the tags in the plugin and doing something like this in the functions.php file php:<?
function add_javascripts() {
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery_roundcorners', WP_CONTENT_URL . '/themes/genetics/js/jquery.corners.js');
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_javascripts' );

I have another headache I've been fighting with...maybe you guys can help. I want to put a text link to add a url to Instapaper. They provide an api (http://bit.ly/FKx0p) and a bookmarklet (http://bit.ly/14gEww), which is accessible through a plugin (http://bit.ly/S2POI). However, the plugin is an iframe showing a graphic. I tried to match it style wise, but the iframe fucks it up (http://bit.ly/spD5 - below each excerpt). Anyway, point is that I'd like to pass the permalink to Instapaper through a normal href. The code below *almost* works, except that it doesn't add the url - a minor problem as you can imagine. code:Anyone want to see if they can make this work using the info above? I wasted hours on it yesterday and cant get a response from the developer (which is cool, it's not his problem).

This is an easy to follow solution and I won't have any problems modifying the few plugins that step out of line like this.

That won't work if the plugin uses html tags instead of the wordpress functions, which is most likely the problem.

Ok, I have adjusted the permalinks so urls look like http://www.myblog.com/categoryname/postname and I can view all posts in a category by going to http://www.myblog.com/categoryname/. Awesome. Say I have the following category structure: code:Category1 Subcat1

Does anybody have experience using easy php calendar with wordpress? It's not supported, but it works. I was wondering if anyone used it or a more robust calendar often. Edit: Also what about a plugin that can make a widget to display the latest posts from other blogs we read? I was trying to find a way to use google reader to do this but there's got to be an easier way... mynameischainsaw fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Aug 11, 2009 |

Me and a friend are looking to implement a unique concept for a content website... the site will initially cover music but would have potential to branch out to other areas. The content and planning will be done by us; however, we need help with creating the site. We would like to start with a wordpress format and already have an idea for the layout. Anyone? Obviously we will compensate for your efforts. PM or email trippmostertz(at)gmail.com if you're interested.

cross posting this from the php thread, it would probably go better here anyway: Actually I change my question, I managed to find a wp plugin which does the job nicely, the only problem now is getting the category image to format nicely with the blog post text. When I put the functions together: code:Edit: In case its needed, documentation on the function from the plugin here

Your issue is probably the fact that your content comes out with p tags. In order to shove it into the actual content you'd have to apply a filter that appends the image right after the first p tag opens so that the text wraps around the image inside of the p.

Floating the image will usually have the effect you ask for. So fix in CSS. Edit: check there's no clear: on the paragraph(s) in question.

I was already pretty impressed with WordPress as a user, but now that I have started tweaking themes and writing plugins I can appreciate the thought and planning that went into it. I wouldn't quite say that it is intuitive, but maybe it's just that my style differs from the devs'. Anyway, does anyone know of a plugin that can analyze a post and automatically generate tags for it? The end goal is to generate a big ol' word cloud and all the existing cloud plugins seem to be tag based.

Alright, here is my situation. I installed Wordpress on my domain (Dreamhost hosting) and it was working fine (at my domain/blog) until I tampered with the php and hosed the whole thing up. I decide to delete the (/blog) directory and re-install Wordpress via the Dreamhost "One click install" method. To my knowledge I am unable to delete this directory for some loving reason and cannot re-install Wordpress again. Somebody please remote assistance with me to fix this loving bullshit. Thank you.

There is also BuddyPress for WordPress MU and Intense Debate. But I think bbPress is probably the best solution because I think forums are best for community. Comments are better for reaction.

Or Simple Press Forum. A forum but can auto create a thread per article and let the forum posts appear as comments underneath the article too.

Do you Wordpress pros have a favourate 'blank' template to start from or do you start writing from complete scratch? I ask as I'm trying to theme my own blog. Most of my skills are in photoshop, with a pretty good knowledge of xhtml/css and a pretty vague knowledge of php. So I'm using the Thematic framework as starting point, and making my own child theme on top of that. I'm just seriously lost in this land of templates. As a basic starting point I'm just trying to put a logo graphic alongside the title, but I can't find which file I need to edit. Logic dictates it's in header.php but all that gives up is this code:

thematic_header() is in /library/header_extensions.php I don't know if it is a good idea to try and develop a new theme based on thematic until you understand what thematic actually does. It is probably easier to start building off of the kubrick theme.

Thanks. I decided I was going all about it the wrong way anyway. Doing a proper mockup in PS now, then I'll make it in HTML, then I'll pick apart the default theme and get things working in mine. Edit: http://sectiondesign.co.uk/blogdesign1.png Where I'm at so far. Any suggestions or things that could look problematic to implement?

Just try to keep your markup for the post related stuff the same way the default theme likes to spit things out and you will be in good shape.

I am writing a plugin to manage a new type of content called publications. I have added two items to the Posts menu, add and manage, that call a script - add.php and manage.php respectively. Manage.php lists all of the publications and for each one it provides a button to edit it. This works. However, when the edit button is clicked, it calls a function that redirects the user to a third page, edit.php. Well, it is supposed to do that. Instead of arriving at edit.php, it stops and tells me, "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page." If I add an edit submenu to Posts (or anywhere else), it redirects without a problem. However, I don't want this because I need editing to be initiated from manage.php My question is, is there a way of "registering" this edit.php page with WP and setting the permissions level without adding it to a menu? Or otherwise accomplish the same goal? SmirkingJack fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Aug 19, 2009 |

In my plugin I added the hookname (from get_plugin_page_hookname($file, 'edit.php')) to that array and I think it worked, but I haven't had a chance to really test it. Add some permissions checking and you should be good. Maybe. Source for add_submenu_page(): http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/wordpress/nav.html?wp-admin/includes/plugin.php.source.html#l660

Actually that page didn't say one or the other, it just said 'here they are'. According to the Data Validation: quote:$wpdb->insert( $table, (array) $data ) So I think it does... I made that assumption because why would you use insert and update if it didn't sanitize?

I've done something bad to my blog, but I can't work out how to fix it. It's here: * I can't get at the dashboard. If I try to log in, either through the link onscreen, or directly using the correct path, it just gives me the blog screen again. The only 2 things I did, as far as I can remember, were to auto update, and when I was trying that, I got a fast CGI error. After the blog started behaving like it is now, I thought maybe it had only part-updated, so I cleared out the right files, and manually installed the newest version, and updated the database. The other thing was to change the URL of the blog in the dashboard - from * to the above URL. I then changed back immediately after thinking about it and realising that was a bit stupid. When you navigate back to the main part of the website using the 'main' link in the navbar, despite it having a direct link, it remains within the blog subdirectory. I was trying to fix this. Buuut, if I'd already pointed the link somewhere else, I'm thinking it couldn't have actually made the change back as it was pointing at a part of my server that contained none of the wordpress files. Sorry for that long winded description, I need some help figuring out what files I now need to alter to regain access RobertKerans fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Nov 29, 2009 |

Do you have access to your db? You need to go into the options table and update the location of your Wordpress install to http://www.blog.daneilcouper.com/. There should be two settings in the options table that deal with the url of where your blog is. If you change them you should be set. However, https://www.blog is a very lame subdomain.

I'd like to make a debate-style blog, and I'm wondering if I should try to massage wordpress into doing what I want or just custom-coding something from scratch. The idea is that a poster can challenge another poster to a debate. If it's accepted, those two posters will alternate posts on a single page. They'll be the only ones allowed to make the main posts; however, other people will be able to comment. I'd like for the comments to appear in a sidebar, showing up next to the post that they're referencing. In the future, I might add a scoring system (where commenters can give +1 or -1 to posters and explain what the points are for). Would Wordpress be good for this? Any advice on possible ways to implement it? To simplify things, at first, only two posters (specified by me) will have debating rights, so the "challenge someone to a debate" part doesn't really need to be in the first iteration.

I've gotten myself stumped. He;lp? I want to have a category description displayed - chosen randomly from all available categories - that links to the category page using the description as the link text. I can make it work if I specify the category, but I'm not sure how to get it to iterate through my categories to be random. Here's what I have so far: php:<?php $category_id = get_cat_ID( 'Finance' ); $category_link = get_category_link( $category_id ); ?> <a href="<?php echo $category_link; ?>"> <?php echo category_description($category_id ); ?> </a>

You probably want get_categories() which gives you an array of categories, then array_rand().

I kind of cheated and just threw some category names into an array for now:php:<?
$input = array("Finance", "Utilities", "Games", "Media", "Internet");
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);
$category_id = get_cat_ID ($input[$rand_keys[0]]);
$category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
?>
<a href="<?php echo $category_link; ?>">
<?php echo category_description($category_id ); ?>
</a>
?>

I'm having trouble with galleries in wordpress. I add a gallery in using wordpress' 'insert gallery' button, and then I go into the HTML editor and add size="thumbnail" to the [gallery] code. It ends up looking like this: [gallery link="file" column="3" size="thumbnail"] my thumbnails are set to 150x150. in the wordpress gallery the pictures are only 150 for the width, and they are the height of the full size picture. what am i doing wrong? is there a better way to go about this?
