I want to be able to get whether comments are disabled or not as a true/false variable to use in php. So I can do something like this:

<?php if(comments_enabled()) { ?>
   <small class="comments">
   <?php comments_number('No comments','1 comment','% comments'); ?>
   </small>
<?php } ?>

…where ‘comments_enabled()’ returns a boolean value based on whether this particular post has comments enabled.
But ‘comments_enabled’ isn’t a function. I need something to replace it with that will return the value I’m looking for.

Thanks.

…anybody…?

My .htaccess looks pretty much the same:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /enl/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /enl/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I’m not sure I understand the problem, but you should be able to set the home directory for a domain in your host’s control panel.

Jesse,
I solved my problem, which seemed to be similar to yours. I explained how here.
I really hope it’ll help you out too.
Good luck,

Solved.
The problem was in the apache2.conf file.
All my directories were set to AllowOverride None.
After changing them to AllowOverride All, I got a 500 Internal Server Error. So I messed around with the .conf files, and I finally discovered that it was the .htaccess files causing the error, not the .conf files.
Deleting the .htaccess files removed the 500 Error. Then I went back to wp-admin and had WordPress generate a fresh .htaccess, and everything now works perfectly.

iridiax – I had the browser window open for a while, and I didn’t refresh before posting this reply. It’s a shame I didn’t see your link, it lists AllowOverride All in the requirements. Still, thanks a lot for trying to help.

Have you tried changing the permissions of /blog/ or /blog/index.php ?
A 403 error suggests it’s that sort of problem.

ARRRGGHH
I tried 2.6 and 2.5.1, both with no luck.
Another thing I noticed (not sure if it makes a difference…) was that the wordpress-generated .htaccess files seem to have weird characters in them when viewed with Windows Notepad. I sorted it out and saved it as utf-8 and it seems the same. Just something I noticed and thought I might as well mention.

That sounds like my problem. I’m using 2.6.1, and all my permalinks don’t work. I’ve never used an earlier version. Maybe I should downgrade and see if that helps.

You’ll need to post the php, or we can’t help you.

/%category%/%postname%/ is the exact permalink structure I’m using. I really can’t think what I’m doing wrong.

I installed the AskApache RewriteRules Viewer, and it tells me the following…

> Permalink: /%category%/%postname%/
> Writable .htaccess file found
> mod_rewrite found
> Not using pathinfo style index permalinks
> Using mod_rewrite permalinks

…which all sounds fine to me, but it still doesn’t work.

Does anybody have any ideas? I feel like I’ve tried everything, and I don’t want to have to settle for /?p=123

Thanks

If you mean links to the files you want to share, it’s a normal A tag hyperlink.
e.g. <a href="/path/to/file.pdf">Click here to download</a>

You’ll need to edit the URLs that point to the images. In all your html/css/whatever-else files.

This is what themes and templates are for.
You can create your new theme in wp-content/themes/ then when you’ve checked it all, enable it in the admin page.

I’d love to help you, but your blog link is broken.
Post the HTML & CSS and I’ll take a look.
