    Hector,

    Any chance you had an opportunity to look at this yet?

    Thanks in advance!

    Héctor, I downloaded the development version, inserted {rating=1} and checked the box for Display Post Rating. All to no avail. Any suggestions as to how to get ratings to appear. (Yes I have the WP-PostRatings plugin installed and working).

    Thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately I had to abandon the use of this plugin, however, it came to light that my theme was missing the wp_head function.

    I needed to get this issue resolved quickly, so I do not know if this plugin ever truly worked. Will try again another day. Good luck!

    This works perfectly for what I need, however, I have one question. I placed this code inside a div. How do I get the div to NOT display if there are not any bookmarks related to the category?

    In other words, if a user is on a page about X, but there are no Link/Bookmark/Blogroll categories about X – then do not display the div with wp_list_bookmarks.

    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

    I inserted the following in the .htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]

    Changed the Permalinks back to: %postname%

    I downloaded and activated the ISAPI Rewrite plugin. Still no go? Also, after I uploaded the modified .htaccess file, it thwarted my CSS, which went non-existent.

    WTF????

    The hosting company is now telling me that

    this server is using Helicon ISAPI Rewrite 3. You will need to put your rewrite rules in .htaccess

    I have my head up my derriere when it comes to this kind of stuff. Does anyone know how I would adjust my .htaccess for Helicon ISAPI Rewrite 3?

    Thanks again to anyone willing to help ~

    I create a web.config file with the following markup:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
      <system.web>
    
      <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url=".*" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
    
    </system.web>
    </configuration>

    Uploaded it to the root of the site and adjusted the Permalinks to %postname% but am still unable to get this to work properly. What am I doing wrong?

    All signs point to the mod_rewrite issue (including straight from the hosting company’s mouth – errr, I mean support ticket). I’ll be researching this a bit more, but wanted to document this for anyone else who runs into the same issue.

    Question: Where, or how, do I locate the “web.config file in the WordPress folder”? I have basic FTP access and am not sure where I need to look…

    Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help ~

    I do have category and archive in the theme and those work just fine. Could this possibly be a server setting?

    I don’t think I clearly stated what I’m trying to do, so let me back up.

    I would like to change the Permalink to a custom structure, as I’ve done many, many times before by simply inserting /%postname%/. For whatever reason this isn’t working and index.php is required before /%postname%/ ? This doesn’t make sense and furthermore doesn’t make the Permalink structure pretty either – which is the whole point of what I’m trying to do.

    So I inserted the Loop code from the ‘Classic’ theme’s index.php file and got nowhere with it. For whatever reason /index.php is required (or by default if using one of the other custom structures) for any of the Permalinks to work.

    This is not the case if I were to leave it as-is with the default structure of say ?p=1 or ?cat=1.

    I’m at a loss as to where this problem originates…or how to solve it.

    Thanks again to anyone willing to assist.

    Elliot Jay Stocks had a post on this sometime back. Scour the web for that. You can hack with CSS, a bunch of jpegs and a little code in the header.

    Crondeau,

    That did it! I was making the mistake of naming my custom sidebar ‘home-sidebar’. The fundamental element here is that the sidebar must start with the name ‘sidebar-[fill in the blank]’

    Thank You again….you’ve ended hours of endless searching.

    I sort of solved this dilemma:

    <?php if (is_category('6')) {
     echo '<h2>'; query_posts(''); the_title(); echo '</h2>';
      echo '<p>'; query_posts(''); the_content(); echo '</p>';
    }
    ?>

    I’m sure there’s a less sloppy way to code this, and I’m pretty sure this isn’t correct on some level either. Regardless, it’s working for what I need.

    This was an oversight on my part and the site is already built (with many posts). Also, tags were a large priority. I’ve used pages in the past and am familiar with templates. I need the equivalent for categories and posts.
