Copywrite

Thanks for the reply, I am adding records to the wppost table and just wondering if it will mess up any default settings or something

Ah no wait I see the table wp_terms I’ll try there thanks

I added a new term to term_taxonomy but it showed nothing on my taxonomy widget?

Thanks snowman this is a part of my db. It appears _aioseop_title is added by my SEO plugin. I have deleted all my posts. Is it safe to delete all the entries in this table? Thanks

37 14 _aioseop_title post test
36 14 _aioseop_description post test
26 14 _pingme 1
27 14 _encloseme 1
35 14 _aioseop_keywords post test
34 14 _wp_old_slug
38 18 _edit_last 1
39 18 _edit_lock 1287516182
40 18 _pingme 1
41 18 _encloseme 1
42 18 _wp_old_slug

Thanks for the advice, I don’t have a category.php page and it is running from the archive.php OK
I have seven category pages each with different text so it seems a bit laborious to do 7 else statements- not to mention the size of the file. What would be a solution? Using a db for the information and outputting it according to the category?

thanks I worked it out, useful page though thanks for the link

Update: this works

<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
<h1 class="pagetitle"><?php printf(__('%s', 'kubrick'), single_cat_title('', false)); ?></h1>

I worked it out it was the taxonomy table i got rid of the entries there

Thanks Michael!

Thanks for the help all. I read all about taxonomys and have decided to put the 11,000 entries as posts in the wpposts table. The question now is where the tags go in the db tables for posts?

That is what I’m using my conditional php code for- wouldn’t any html that is put in the description be in the header, or am i missing something?

Why on earth would I want html in my descriptions?! ??

Thanks for the replies, esmi I checked out the page and it seems I can use this code changing the strings “Category X” to the names of my categories and putting in the relevant html/php there.

<?php if (is_category('Category A')) { ?>
<p>This is the text to describe category A</p>
<?php } elseif (is_category('Category B')) { ?>
<p>This is the text to describe category B</p>
<?php } else { ?>
<p>This is some generic text to describe all other category pages,
I could be left blank</p>
<?php } ?>

Michael H that plugin looks interesting but what does it mean by “This plugin does not do anything other than disable the filters.” What are the filters?

The description is in the wp admin for categories I was able to change it- however I can’t find where to get rid of the /category/ in the url – the slug only has category-name thanks for any advice

It’s ok I installed an SEO plugin it works well to change post and page meta data
