In reply to: ‘No Responses’ Comment Title…Issue resolved. Update from 1.5 directly to 2.2. Seemed to cause break. Oddly enough, a plugin seems to have fixed it.

In reply to: Getting bad link I can’t find…Using 2.0.4 and have been for a while. Not going to upgrade for a few months. I understand there’s already a 2.1.1 in the works.
I’m the theme developer and blog owner. I would guess this is a database / config issue. I just can’t seem to recreate it. If anyone else can, and tell me what they did, I would be very grateful.

In reply to: Getting bad link I can’t find…See, here’s another one – different link:
A user tried to go to https://healthywebdesign.comhttps://healthywebdesign.com/
tools/integrate-aweber-with-blogger/#comment-54 and received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn’t their fault, so try fixing it.
They came from https://healthywebdesign.com/wp-comments-post.phpForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Getting bad link I can’t find…For clarity. I have other links that are coming up as similar errors with the wp-comments-post.php file being the source. Not just this link.
I probably get a few of these a week.
If this is in any way a problem with my commenting system, I want to fix it as soon as I can.

In reply to: Static Homepage & Blog Page – Root Folder…I found a solution. It’s not so pretty, but I’ve tested it pretty thoroughly and it seems to work great…
In my nav bar, I created a home link to my index.php file using the link to my homepage – as usual.
I combined two ideas for the ‘secondary blog page.’
One, being the only author, I created a nav link called ‘blog’ and linked to all my author posts as found in the Author Templates. I needed to create an author.php file to use this option so I made a copy of my index.php file and renamed it author.php. Creating a link to me as the author accomplished what I wanted in way of creating a new ‘secondary blog homepage.’
Now I have a homepage that is in the loop and based on my template AND a secondary blog homepage that is also in the loop and based on my template. The blog homepage is just my blog posts and template design. My overall site homepage is my template design with blog posts and a few other features.
This seems to work great. I further used conditional tags (is_archive) and dynamic menu highlighting to highlight my blog link so that it stays highlighted on every post page.
This isn’t as pretty as I would like, but it will do until I see what comes out with 2.1
Thanks for everyone’s help from above. While my solution isn’t really from what you wrote, your suggestions kept me looking.

Again, is it clear what I’m asking about?

In reply to: Can’t see template…Ah! I knew that, actually. Just forgot the line of code at the top. Please forgive my, hopefully, momentary lapse.
Thanks

Is mid Jan a real time-frame for 2.1?
I’m chomping at the bit to get this working. I’ve played with conditional tags and have some things working for me. Though I can’t seem to get a ‘separate blog home page’ to be recognized in the nav bar. I feel I’m close but with my limited php skills, I’m not sure what to try next. So it’s great to hear about 2.1. Thanks
Where would I find dev notes about other features and bug fixes?

In reply to: How to change body tag attributes?Any help on this one?

In reply to: Plugin for creating linksSilence…does that mean no one has heard of a plugin like this?
Or am I not clear in what I’m asking?

In reply to: How to change body tag attributes?Also, I’m using WordPress’ index.php file as the homepage for my site. This page has more on it than just the header, footer, sidebar and loop info. I’ve added other elements that I only want to display on the homepage – which I’ve removed from the rest of the site using is_home conditional tag.
What I’d like is to be able to also have a “blog homepage” that comes up from a nav link called “blog” that when clicked on, delivers me to the index.php URL (or some other URL) without all my added items. I’m just not sure how to make it appear as though the blog has its own homepage.

In reply to: How to change body tag attributes?Thanks LesBessant. I got conditional tags to work in a few places.
One thing I can’t figure out – which I have a feeling is quite easy – is I have two sidebars on my site – one generated by sidebar.php and the other is for page navigation that I’ve included in the footer.
When I call on a page (‘static’ WordPress page), I want the blog sidebar to go away and my content to expand into its place. Any suggestions?
The only thing I’ve been able to come up with is to create a new header.php file where I can alter the body attribute (class=”page”) and then restyle the site in css. This solution I would just not call on the sidebar.php file at all and let the style sheet do the rest.
Anything better, more efficient?

In reply to: Podcasting feed problem.Great. Thanks. Somehow I missed this.
Again, thanks for the help.
