Oh shucks. It seems to be something to do with the custom theme I’m using, as disabling the theme makes things work as expected. Drat. Sorry folks, thanks anyway.

For example, one idea might be to create a multi-site network and use a second site as the forum. But this seems prohibitively complex. I really want something as simple as possible.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Pretty please?

Sorry to keep harping on this one, but it’s a big deal for me! Maybe another way to say this is that I want to “flatten” my category tree, as described above. Does NOBODY have any idea how to do this? Please? It would be a huge help!

It would be fine if I could somehow just do an SQL query that would take all posts in the “Bowser” category and also assign them to the “Dalmations”, “Dogs”, “Mammals”, and “Animals” categories. If I could do that, then it would be easy to do a simple cats-to-tags. Anybody know how to do this?

Ah, looks like I need to do a custom query with tag=$tag1,$tag2,$tag3 etc, and then go thru the loop again.

I think I’ve got it. Thanks anyway!

Really? Nobody? Seems like this would be a common thing to do, doesn’t anybody out there know how to do this?

I’ll take a look at that. Thanks!

Ah, looks like get_children is what I was after. Much obliged!!

Sounds perfect! How would I access attached posts (“child” posts?) from a theme? Do I need a custom query, or is there an easier way?

Thanks again!

This tutorial did the trick. Perfect!

For some reason it’s not working for me. I’m using

<?php
$limit = get_option('posts_per_page');
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('cat=8&showposts=' . $limit=6 . '&paged=' . $paged);
$wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
?> 

<?php if (have_posts()) { ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<?php posts_nav_link(' · ', 'previous page', 'next page'); ?>
		</div>

    <?php $i = 1; ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
		<?php //if (in_category('8')) { ?>
        <?php if ($i == 1) { ?>

			<?php include TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/focus.php'; ?>

        <?php } else { ?>

            <?php include TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/posts.php'; ?>

        <?php } ?>

        <?php $i++; ?>

    <?php }//} ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<?php posts_nav_link(' · ', 'previous page', 'next page'); ?>
		</div>

<?php } else { ?>

    <?php include TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/error.php'; ?>

<?php } ?>

</div><!-- /home -->

The front page works as expected, but the “paged” results are returning 404 errors. Any ideas as to what could be the culprit?

Helpful stuff! Thanks!

Clearly, but I would expect the WP upload script to automatically rename uploads to a unique filename. Can this be implemented?
