Bink

I have searched this forum and google and have not found an answer to this question. If I have only one blog and one main category with several subcategories under this category, when I post to the subcategory, how can I get it to show by the search of the subcategory only? Would it be more effective to create another blog for these subcategories? I have tried the page then subpage but the look in 1.5 is not like a regular blog. Please assist. Thanks!

Thanks podz! I didn’t need to delete the directory. I looked closer at the theme I am using and the comment.php file is pointing to it. It is taking me some time to recognize the index.php file is sparsed. Thanks…resolved.

What is the “tweaking” needed for this file? It is set to work with 1.2. I have installed it and need help tweaking it. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I tried that before I posted for help. It does not work.

**update**

These smilies are evil. They won’t leave. You were incorrect and so am I. This is my current vars.php file after my edit. Where the hell are these smilies coming from?

‘<?php

// On which page are we ?
$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’];
if (preg_match(‘#([^/]+.php)#’, $PHP_SELF, $self_matches)) {
$pagenow = $self_matches[1];
} else if (strstr($PHP_SELF, ‘?’)) {
$pagenow = explode(‘/’, $PHP_SELF);
$pagenow = trim($pagenow[(sizeof($pagenow)-1)]);
$pagenow = explode(‘?’, $pagenow);
$pagenow = $pagenow[0];
} else {
$pagenow = ‘index.php’;
}

// Simple browser detection
$is_lynx = 0; $is_gecko = 0; $is_winIE = 0; $is_macIE = 0; $is_opera = 0; $is_NS4 = 0;
if (!isset($HTTP_USER_AGENT)) {
$HTTP_USER_AGENT = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’];
}
if (preg_match(‘/Lynx/’, $HTTP_USER_AGENT)) {
$is_lynx = 1;

} elseif ((preg_match(‘/Nav/’, $HTTP_USER_AGENT) ) || (preg_match(‘/Mozilla\/4\./’, $HTTP_USER_AGENT))) {
$is_NS4 = 1;
}
$is_IE = (($is_macIE) || ($is_winIE));

// Server detection
$is_apache = strstr($_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’], ‘Apache’) ? 1 : 0;

// Path for cookies
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, preg_replace(‘|https?://[^/]+|i’, ”, get_settings(‘home’) . ‘/’ ) );

?>’

**correction**
Actually, that info you gave is incorrect but I figured it out. Thanks for your assistance nonetheless. ??

Thank you so much. ??

*still need help*
I’m very new to WP. Here is the vars.php file:

$pagenow = explode('/', $PHP_SELF);
$pagenow = trim($pagenow[(sizeof($pagenow)-1)]);
$pagenow = explode('?', $pagenow);
$pagenow = $pagenow[0];
} else {
$pagenow = 'index.php';
}

// Simple browser detection
$is_lynx = 0; $is_gecko = 0; $is_winIE = 0; $is_macIE = 0; $is_opera = 0; $is_NS4 = 0;

Exactly, which part do I remove? When I attempted to remove them I got an error message. Thanks!

Thanks!

Ok… HOW do you do this?

My MT import created this “main” category. I have gone through over 300 posts moving everything to the first default category called “bink”. Please do not tell me that I have to move all of these posts back to “main” and rename “main” just to get rid of it. THERE HAS TO BE A MORE EFFICIENT WAY.

I have changed the default category under “Options” then “Writing” but this category “main” is not budging for anything. When I try to delete it I get this message, “Can’t delete the main category: this is the default one”. I have logged out of WP and logged back in, same error.

What to do?

Signed,

Very frustrated and disappointed with the failed capability to mass edit posts.

WP version is 1.5

It was miniblog. ?? Thanks!

I found a fix. Thanks!

Thanks to all that helped.
