Alright – now I get to learn about output buffering – thank you for the link and help… gonna go try out the code now – be back in a few minutes to report back.

Same result:


Posted by <?php the_author(); ?>


<?php
$author_name = the_author();
if ($author_name != "My Name") echo ", Guest Blogger";
?>


Still produced My Name My Name for me and then Author Name Author Name, Guest Blogger for the non-me bloggers.

Any other ideas?

I had tried


<?php the_author() ?>
<?php if (the_author() != "My Name") { echo ", Guest Blogger";) ?>


And instead of using the_author() as a variable in the comparison – it outputs the_author() – showing it twice.

Nope. I haven’t banned any IPs at all.

Sorry to be a pain – but when I click the Publish button even if the post is for the future. But then, if someone clicks on the Trackback link back to my site then they will get a post not found error right? (Because the post isn’t public yet?)

Been digging around in the variables of index.php. Seems like one way to tell that I’m showing the index/frontpage is to see if [REQUEST_URI] is equal to [SCRIPT_NAME] – does that make sense?

I’m thinking of creating a second comments routine called wp-comments-no-form.php to output comments but without the form. But how do I only show this on the front index page?
How does WordPress know what kind of page it is showing? (front page, individual post, category, date-based archive… etc.)

Thanks! So far I figured out that adding $withcomments=”1″ at the top of index.php does it – though not sure how that’s going to affect other views of the blog (category, individual, etc) – plus, I have to figure out how to not show the comments form.

Okay I believe part of it involves using the <?php include(“wp-comments.php”) ?> to put the comments on the page – and I know that in the url if c=1 then it shows comments. How do I tell it to make c=1 when viewing the frontpage of the blog?

I just have to say that this just blew my mind! It just *worked* – got WP on WinXP running PHPDev… tinkering – trying to break the MT habit.
