Clarke1866…

Post up the CSS you mentioned. It’s 2am, I need to be at work at 9am…wired on Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. Get me away from my conundrum!

Nope, I got it all to validate (it had more to do with the way I was posting the <!--more--> link when writing the posts. Fixing the CSS didn’t work either.

This is one of the URLs that does it (but not as often now as it used to):
link: https://futureclassic.net/wp/categories/shoppin/
validated HTML: https://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//futureclassic.net/wp/categories/shoppin/
Validated CSS: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http%3A//futureclassic.net/wp/categories/shoppin/

Also, it’s working now in Firefox on a Mac. (?) No idea what I did though. FF on a PC? Still done broked.

Sorry, that was far too long-winded. I added the “Executive Summary” to the top, but here it is again for good measure:

• CSS is messed up.
• Two-column float. Roughly half the time, the right column drops below the left column.
• This ONLY happens when the page is generated by WordPress, and ONLY in Firefox/Mozilla. I’ve tried TONS of things to fix it (scroll up to the bulleted list for most of them), nothing has worked (besides using a table).
• Redundant but important: I’ve tried this in several browsers on several platforms. Again, only happens with the WP & Firefox/Mozilla combination.

Sorry again…and thanks for trying to help. ??

alphaoide & nik,

Just wanted to say thanks to both of you again. Between what you both said here and what alphaoide posted here, I’m already on my way to getting it set up.

Looks like I might be able to make the deadline after all, as long as I don’t really sleep much ’til then…

Thanks for replying so quickly.

I’d thought of that, but the real reason I wanted to do this was for the directory structure. The URLs above aren’t exactly accurate; they’ll work that way since they’re symlinks, but the real URLs I was planning on using are reviews.domain.com, news.domain.com, etc.

I think I might do it using the category method you mentioned and figure out an .htaccess solution later on down the road for the directory structure. I think the nit-pick in me is gonna have to take a back seat, at least for now.

I LOVE WordPress, and I know that multi-blog support is going to be coming in a release some day. If I start with it now, I’ll be able to convert to a newer version easily when that’s available. Plus, using MT 2.661, the static pages will grow to an unmanageable size some day (probably sooner than later). Not something I want to deal with.

Now all I need to do is find some quick and dirty tutorials on how to separate my index page into categories. Long night, no sleep…

Thanks again!

I’m having the same problem.

My template can only have one full entry per page (it has to do with the way we wanted the layout), but for the archives we really want to have a list of all titles by month.

If there’s a solution to this problem, it’ll save my users a hell of a lot of clicking to get through the archives. ??

.frankiejr

It worked! Thank you thank you thank you!

This was frustrating me so I put it on the back burner. Glad I posted about it. Thanks again! (and again!)

.frankiejr

p.s. and again!

Do you mean the submenu option “Write Page” (underneath “Write” after clicking on it)?

.frankiejr

Yes, the two boxes are for a new password and new password confirmation:

This is a really old post, but I just found it while searching for this exact plugin.

I’m building a hike blog for a friend of mine, and I’m using WordPress for the first time. About a day into playing with it, I decided to switch over from MT2.661. But…

I had a huge problem with comment spam for a while with MT. I tried quite a few plugins to try and stop them, but they either let some slip by every now and then or they required some attention now and then. I didn’t want any spam comments at all, and I didn’t want to have to pay any attention to it. At all.

I installed one that I found that was exactly as described above, and it’s worked perfectly. Yes, usability is an issue, but I was willing to make that trade to breathe easier. I’m hoping I can find the same plugin for WP some day, and if I can’t, I might try my hand at writing one.

SPIRI:

I just figured out something that might help you. I was having a problem… I needed to be able to post invalid code (long story). I found that wp-includes/default-filters.php is basically a list of filters each post/comment goes through. Just comment out the ones you don’t want…it worked for me.

I’m brand new to WordPress, so I don’t think I can help with which ones you’ll need to comment out. Not sure if it’ll hurt anything, but I just commented out all filters that are applied to “the_content”.

.frankiejr

Awesome, guys…thanks for the input.

I’d already taken a look at the worldKit examples page, thanks for the link though…I especially liked the maps that Scott Haefner used on his Kite Aerial Photography page. Simple, no clutter, easy to view. That’s just aesthetics though, not to be concerned with at this point.

If anyone has any more info, please keep it coming! Thanks again…
