In reply to: [WOW Slider] Updated Wow, slideshow goneYeah. Well, the automatic update nuked the files on it’s own. Everything else was just triage. The good news is, Nivo Slider is easy to implement, without even using their for-pay plug-in.
That the WOWslider plugin stores the image files in its own directory seems to be flirting with disaster. Anything goes wrong with the plugin (as above), and the files are gone….

In reply to: [WOW Slider] Updated Wow, slideshow goneWell, the files were most definitely there, because I downloaded wowslider/api.php before posting here to see if I could see anything out of wack. But no matter, I deleted them, and manually uploaded (rather than using the plugin installation), and still nothing. The old slideshow is still gone. Wowslider is there, but the only slide show is the default images, that is made when the plugin is uploaded. Other than that, nothing.

In reply to: Multiple Loops not showing the_content in 2nd loopSOLVED! In the second loop, I needed to append the line:
while( $query2->have_posts() )
with:
: $query2->the_post(); {
then add
endwhile;
before
wp_reset_postdata();
Final (working) code looks like this:
// Page Layout for Perfect Pint // Most Recent Episode function perfectPintPageTop() { //The Query $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'show', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'perfect-pint' ) ) ); $query = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page=1', $args ); // The Loop if ( $query->have_posts() ) { while ( $query->have_posts() ) { $query->the_post(); echo '<li><h2><a href="'.get_permalink().'">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h2></li>'; ?><div class="entry"><?php the_content(); ?></div> <?php } } else { // no posts found } /* Restore original Post Data */ wp_reset_postdata(); } add_action('thematic_abovecontent','perfectPintPageTop'); // Next Four Episodes function perfectPintPage4() { ?><div id="episodes"><ul><?php //The Query $args2 = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'show', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'perfect-pint' ) ) ); $query2 = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => 4, 'offset' => 1 ),$args2 ); // The 2nd Loop while( $query2->have_posts() ) : $query2->the_post(); { $query2->next_post(); echo '<li><h2><a href="'.get_permalink( $query2->post->ID ).'">' . get_the_title( $query2->post->ID ) . '</a></h2></li><div class="entry">' . get_the_content( $query2->post->ID ) . '</div>'; } endwhile; // Restore original Post Data wp_reset_postdata(); ?></ul></div><?php } add_action('thematic_belowcontent','perfectPintPage4');

In reply to: [Rapid Twitter Widget] Widget stopped workingThanks Juri. I actually use your second recommendation on a lot of sites, but I took over managing a site running this plugin. If there’s no word from the Devs at by days-end, I’ll be having to switch.

In reply to: [Rapid Twitter Widget] Widget stopped workingjackbloom, that’s the one. I suspect it might be a failover, if the plugin doesn’t get a response from twitter, it hides itself, but that’s just a guess.

I’m not sure what you’re experiencing, but as of this morning something changed and it doesn’t work for me either. In my case, the script is adding a .css definition to the head of every page changing the display attribute to “none” making it’s entire div disappear. I have no idea why or how to get it to stop. But it’s annoying, as it’s one of the best twitter plug-ins I’ve found, particularly as I don’t want to run Jetpack on this site.
Any suggestions from other users/creators?Forum: Plugins

In reply to: Do not show comments when the page is mydomain.com/contactCopy & geek
I think the discussion pane is hidden by default in the more recent WP releases. That means you need to toggle the screen options tab at the top right, and select the discussion check-box, then you will have the option to allow/disallow comments on the page, and also block track-backs to that page (which for a contact page makes sense to help protect against track-back spam).

In reply to: How to recover deleted database?I agree, it seems pretty unlikely he nuked his DB from the back-end. Maybe deleted all his posts or pages, but I don’t think WP would let you delete DB tables. Regardless of the outcome, it’s a good time to tell him to install backWPup, and set it to email him a DB back-up to a gmail account everyday. And he might as well do a file system dump to a free drop-box account while he is in there. It’s not the most intuitive interface, but it’s hard to beat the functionality.

In reply to: 301 redirecting old blog URLs to new onesyou can use .htaccess 301s at a.com to redirect to the b.com equivalents, but you’ll need to keep a.com active for a while.

In reply to: Novice WordPress user needs help, please?Sorry, I don’t see a “Leave a Reply” link. There is a title that says it, but it’s not a link. Also, I was able to post a comment (a reply). Still haven’t come across anything that redirects me to the front page.

In reply to: Page Structure Problem with Smaller Window SizeKristen,
Are you using Firebug? It will tell you every .css rule that applies to a given element. Including ones that are cancelled out by other ones.

In reply to: Page Structure Problem with Smaller Window SizeLooks centred to on my end. There are still scroll bars, but that is because you’ve padded the body horizontally 2 ems, and that pushes it’s total width over 960px (and I’m looking on my little macbook, not my wide desktop). You shouldn’t need to pad the body, rather use margins or padding for child divs (#page in this case, so padding). When you do this, you will need to subtract the padding you add from the total width of the div you want, so it will probably be easier to pad in pixels rather than ems.
Does this make sense? It’s late here and I just finished watching a film, I’m a bit bleary-eyed.
