Ok, with the right number of ‘(‘ at every site. You just had a bad structure and forgot the ‘{‘ after the conditional and ‘(‘ after the ‘!’.

Try this:

<?php if (!(in_category(’22’)) && (!(in_category(’23’))) && (!(in_category(’24’)))) { the_time(); } ?>

I’ve been staring too long at my code. ?? Sure it’s php.

You should probably read the doc with mysql, especially the part on setting up users and changing passwords. Now you probably still have the default config settings.
Also, if you startup winmysqladmin you can set some things there.

If I’m correct the date is used in the html part, but you use it in your php code. So my guess it that when you echo it, it will work.
Am I correct that you want the date to be turned of when the articles is in the 3 cats at the same time?

Hi cLin,
I don’t have AIM, and am not even always available on computer. So I’ll try to explain it here a bit more.
The first one is about one of the pictures I saw you using. It’s this one: https://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=67383.
I can see this has been downloaded already a lot, and I believe I have seen this picture once on another site. I don’t doubt I will come across this on other sites as well. And I think you used another (less popular) picture from this photographer also.
Now, these are nice pictures (and a nice girl), so using them like you do is aesthetically pleasing. But when you see them all over the internet there comes an aura of amateurism over the site. Like those free animated gifs you see all over those personal homepages where people just made their first site.
I’m not saying this is already the case, but I think it’s good to keep in mind.
The second suggestion was one about the colors you use. It’s 99% shades of green. From Veerle’s Blog (a Belgian designer, and she’s an interesting read), I learned that that can get boring. An interesting technique, as you can read in the article, is to use a couple of variations of the same colour (eg like you did), and spice up the whole with a contrasting colour here and there. Eg Veerle’s blog is made out of green primarily, with some red/orange. That’s what she talks about in the article: choosing the colour scheme.

Thanks for the help. Now I got it working. ??

What I want to do is take the post input, intercept it, add/change something to it, let it go it’s normal flow. ?? So basically add/change something to it and get that in the database, or change it before it is send to the database.

Are you sure you don’t send any output from your plugin?

Now I’m pretty sure I use it wrong.
I thought I should output something, eg get the post data and echo what I want. But if this is a wrong usage, how do I get this result?
ps: thanks for the reply

I’ll rewrite this completely first.

Most of the skinning is actually done throug the stylesheets. If you are happy with the way WP has it’s layout you won’t have to touch the index file. If you use the same values for elements on all pages you’re page will have an integrated look.
If you like to work with a header and footer the new alpha versions work with it. It’s easy to modify with the help of what you find in the docs on this site, so you can have the same header and footer everywhere. That way not only the same style will be applied, WP will also be similar in stucture or page layout.
The kitty needs to be kissed tutorial seems to be for managing your skins.

I’ve delved into the posts too and some things are too advanced for me and it would take me too long to know the inner workings of WP. I could ofcourse alter the code itself but I prefer to do this with a plugin, else I have to worry about updating all the time and changing the files.
So I’ve settled for not changing the database input but only the output. If you find a way to deal with it through plugins I would appreciate it if you post back.
ps: I found a program that searches the texts itself in a directory easy to see which files (and which lines on them) have eg a funtion I’m looking for. That way I know all the places I should study.

What’s the page-feature you’re talking about?
btw, nice clean look.

Some more padding for the second column (in between side and second main content column) could do the trick to make it’s structure more clear on first view.

Ofcourse an alternative approach would be to go directly for the database itself. Think that should be doable from within a plugin.
