Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: disabled blog by changing permalink options with radio buttonsIf just changing the permalink structure was the problem, then I’d start with the .htaccess and take out any of the rules that WP may have added. (The section that’s been edited by WP should be clearly marked.)
If that doesn’t fix it, or if WP didn’t actually add anything to the .htaccess I’d probably dig into the database and change the settings for option_value under permalink_structure in wp_options. In my WP 2.0 test site where I don’t use pretty permalinks, that field is simply blank.
But that’s just what my first instinct would be – I don’t know that any of that will actually solve your problem as I’ve not encountered this particular issue. Make sure you backup your database before you go messing with it if you decide to take that route (of course).

In reply to: Draft state is showing in one categoryIt could very well be related to an upgrade. That’s one of the problems with using code that’s not part of the core – when you upgrade, you face the possibility of it breaking. Not that I’m saying you shouldn’t – it’s just one of those things, you know?
There’s probably a way to do what you want in the newer versions, it’s just that the way it was done before isn’t working. I’ll admit that this is a little over my head though. I keep hoping someone else will jump in here to help you who knows how to… anyone?

In reply to: Constructive Criticism, pleaseThe green text is a bit hard on my eyes on my old crappy monitor here at work. I’m betting it won’t be so bad on my flat panel at home, but still. The lighter green of the post titles is the worst offender for that, but even the content text is a bit much. Honestly, it made my eyes water a little trying to read one of the full posts.
I get the idea behind using the green text, but since you’re talking about reading long entries, it might be worth considering switching at least the content text to either a much darker green, dark grey, or black. (I know the difference between a dark green and black would be barely discernable to most.)
Unless you know most of your target audience will have much better graphics displays than I do. ??
Otherwise, it’s a really nice job. ??

In reply to: Subscribe2 bugginess w. v. 2.0.1The error that’s coming up is indicating subscribe-to-comments.php — which is a different plugin than subscribe2, and may not play well with subscribe2. Indeed, in the comments for subscribe2 2.2 someone reported that as an issue. It’s unlikely that there is a fix for it if it wasn’t fixed with subscribe2 2.2.1.

In reply to: Draft state is showing in one categoryIt would appear that you are either using a plugin for asides that’s generating that, or the designer of your site put together a hack to pull those categories out to the side. Either way, I don’t think I’ll be able to help much, but I can try. If anyone else who knows more about how this works would like to jump in here, please do!
About all I can probably help with is that in looking at your source code I see a line that says
<!-- category-based link loop -->
just above those sections.If you can find the file that contains that comment, you can find the code that generates this. However, you’re probably going to need to know a bit of PHP to be able to do anything with it in terms of fixing it. The only references I was able to find in searching for that are bits and pieces of conversations from 2 years ago… and none were very helpful.
Any long timers around here who know what that is / how to fix the issue?
I’m thinking it was a hack put in by your designer, and he or she may be able to help you more… I can’t tell what version of WP you’re using, but it looks to be an older one (it’s using wp-layout.css instead of a theme based style.css, and if I’m remembering right, WP 1.2?), so it’s not something that’s going to be fresh in a lot of people’s brains.
This is one of those problems that without digging into your actual code will be hard to solve. Sorry I can’t be of more help…

In reply to: Home page questionAhh, sorry. I’ve not worked with a home.php template before, and I didn’t understand that was what you were referring to. I don’t know if that’s expected behavior or not.
Maybe someone else who has experience with home.php can help… should the previous link use index.php or home.php?

In reply to: comments not indicated on main pageUsually the code for the comment link is in index.php, and looks something like this:
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>
(I took that from the default theme.)
Though, I’d guess it has something to do with the comment count in your database in relation to the coComment stuff, rather than the code on the page. I’m not familiar with coComment though, so I couldn’t really say. If you remove coComment, does everything work as it should?

In reply to: Subscribe2 not sending subscriber notificationsrichards: In my installation, under Add New Notification, there’s a drop down box with the categories to choose from just before the email address box.
If you’re not seeing that, I honestly don’t know what to tell you. As well, I can’t help much with the error. Make sure you have the latest version of cat2email — Skippy just recently updated for WP 2.0.
https://www.skippy.net/blog/2006/01/28/cat2email-20/
Beyond that, if you’re still having problems, you’d probably be much better off starting a new thread specifically for cat2email or commenting on Skippy’s blog. I don’t know much about it. Good luck. ??

In reply to: Serious problem, no layout, only text.Podz has a tutorial here: https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/ on how to change those URIs back to what they need to be.
Unless you are trying to actually move the site to the /wordpress directory, in which case you should probably read the instruction in the Codex entry Moving WordPress Within Your Site and make sure you’ve completed everything in that. ??

In reply to: comments not indicated on main pageEither you fixed this or I don’t understand the question.
When I look at your blog, I see entries with No Comments, entries with 1 Comment and then entries with more ( [4] Comments). Each one of those is a link that leads to the comments… working as expected.
If you have fixed it, could you tells us what went wrong and what you did? It might help someone else. (And please mark this resolved while you’re at it.)
If you haven’t, can you clarify what the problem is?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Home page questionThat previous link is to the previous posts on your blog (thus the “Previous Entries”) – not the previous page you were on. (It’s not a like a “back” link.)
If you want a link back your index, you’ll need to add that in yourself.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Draft state is showing in one categoryI think we need some more clarification to understand what the problem is.
Which category is doing this? Is it only one post? If so, which post? Did you have this post in published status at any point?
Are posts that are assigned to this category showing up on the main page, or only when you actually click to view the category archives?
With that info, someone might be of more help… ??

In reply to: how to move wordpress from one server to another?If you haven’t found the answer by now, try the Codex entry on Moving WordPress to a New Server.
Posting your question multiple times doesn’t help get it answered any quicker either. Just sayin’. ??

In reply to: Subscribe2 not sending subscriber notificationsI’ve never used it, but just to answer this for you, I installed it to see how it works. Once it’s activated, go to Manage > cat2email and there’s a management screen where you can add email addresses to be notified on each category.
Past that though, I know nothing about how it works, so you’ll want to test it out some and learn it.
Good luck. ??

In reply to: Subscribe2 not sending subscriber notificationsWhen a public subscriber becomes a registered one, he or she has the same options as any registered user. When that person logs in, the option to pick categories is available, just like any other registered user. (I’d suggest testing it out yourself to get familiar with how it all works. Register as a new user and play with it.) Again, I didn’t write the plugin, so I can’t definitively say, but I think a public subscriber is subscribed to all by default because that ensures there’s some value to subscribing. If it defaulted to none, as a public subscriber that person can’t choose any categories, so there would be no value at all. (Meaning, no email would be sent.)
As far as the email being sent out — go to Options > Subscribe2 in your admin. On that screen you can make the email look like whatever you’d like it to. I think (if I’m remembering correctly) the PERMALINK by default was just after the POST, so in the resulting email it would be after the portion you’ve quoted here. (It’s hard for me to say, as the first thing I did was edit the template to remove POST from it completely.)
If you have “You may view it at PERMALINK” in your template, but it’s not coming through, I don’t know. That might be a bug or you might have some error in the template… in either case I couldn’t tell you what’s wrong without poking around in your site myself. ??
