Either you’ve fixed the problem since posting this, or I’m completely misunderstanding the problem.

When I click the link you posted, it goes to the espial category as expected.

If you have not figured out what was wrong… maybe try explaining what’s wrong again? If you have, congrats on figuring it out. (And maybe mark this topic as resolved.) ??

Weird. Code tags worked on my test site… oh well. Glad you found something that worked. ??

The only bulletin board that works within WP that I know of is xdforum (which is a plugin based forum), though there may be more that I haven’t seen yet.

Wrap your example text version in <code> </code> tags. If you’re using the graphical editor, you’ll need to edit the HTML to do that, but it definitely works.

If you don’t normally use <code> on your blog, you may want to play with the CSS for the tag to make it look the same. (Most themes have the code tag specified as smaller or different fonts.)

richards:

Subscription is useful for lots of people. I don’t choose to use it myself, but there are plenty others who do.

The way you make it useful (in your instance) is to make that the primary way to sign up for your email list. Basically, you don’t create the subscribe page, and change the text on your register link to read something like “Subscribe” and your users then don’t even know there’s another way to do it.

But this is all up to you.

If you want to keep both ways open, you can explain on the page where you have people subscribe that registering on the site allows category selection, and provide them a link to registration on that page.

Then if you have a public subscriber who wants to register, according to Skippy, they are simply moved over. (They don’t have to unsub and then register.)

Directly from the subscribe2 page on his blog:

If a public subscriber signs up for an account on your blog, that user will be moved from the list of public subscribers to the list of registered subscribers. They will be subscribed to all categories by default.

When a new user registers for an account who was not previously a subscriber, they will not be subscribed to any categories. subscribe2 is strictly opt-in.

richards: The short answer? Because that’s the way it’s made. When you code your own plugins, you get to make them however you want. If you’re using someone elses plugins, they work the way that person wanted them to. ??

The longer (and completely based on theory) answer: I can’t speak for the creator of the plugin, but I’m guessing that taking advantage of the new user roles in 2.0 is much more efficient than re-inventing the wheel just for the subscribe2 plugin.

The idea is that registering and subscribing are essentially the same thing with 2.0.

If it’s important to you that people subscribe to categories, let them register. The first level in the new user roles is subscriber – check the link above to roles for a complete description – so it’s not like you’re letting them post. As registered subscribers, they can manage their subscriptions by logging in. There’s really nothing more you have to do, other than opening registration. (And maybe direct your subscribers to manage their subscriptions.)

In fact, if you open registration, you don’t have to have a page with the subscribe2 token on it – they just register and subscribe to the categories they want. So… it’s easier actually. ??

Compared to what I had to do to get the subscribe.php page to fit with my theme in the earlier versions, creating a WP page and slapping in a the token is nothing. ??

I haven’t tested it with a post yet, but 2.2.1 is working on all other aspects thus far.

This is still one of my favorite plugins, and I wholeheartedly thank Skippy for all his hard work on it.

Try adding this into your CSS:

img {
border: 0px none;
}

That should remove the border from all linked images. ??

Favicons hardly ever work “right” with IE 6 or lower. Though I’ve been playing with IE7 Beta, and things are looking better… I’d be impressed if it wasn’t for the fact that IE is only doing what FF has been doing alredy. ??

I’ve had problems with updating favicons – the problem seems to be that the old one just won’t go away… but when I view from a different computer, the new one is there. I’m not sure what goes on that causes this… but usually after a restart of my computer, the new one shows up.

Something to do with how XP handles .ico files is my best guess.

If you’re running 2.2 – the not sending emails is usually because you saved as a draft first (was a known bug).

And it allows users to pick cats IF they are registered users within WP. Just subscribers don’t get that choice. You’d have to allow them to register to your site.

Meanwhile, 2.2.1 has been released, and should fix that draft issue. (Though I haven’t had a chance to install and test that just yet.)

No problem. ??

My boyfriend’s dying for a 360… when he gets one, I’ll send him to your blog. (If I send him there now, he’ll just whine about not having one yet. ?? )

It may not help with the scroll (that yeah, I still don’t see) — but don’t forget to close that new div you just created. ?? the </div> should go just before the </li> for the login list.

The scroll is likely related to your resolution… though I don’t have even the first clue as to what to do to fix it.

And it looked right until a second ago. I’m guessing you’re playing around with it now. ??

Keep trying. ??

You didn’t quite get the class in there just right.

You want the line to read <li id="login" class="sidebar">

See if that works.

It looks the same in my IE & Firefox, but I’m now running the IE7 Beta… so, that’s actually a good thing! (Woo hoo for the idea of IE & FF looking the same!)

Even if it is wrong. ??

I still don’t see a scroll… what resolution are you in? (Mine’s 1024 x 768, and I just checked in 800×600, don’t see it there either.)

Just curious… why’d you close the ul and start another one? I don’t know if would make it work any better, but you probably just want the login li to be a li of the main sidebar ul… so you don’t need to close the ul and open a new one. Just sayin’. ??

But try adding class=”sidebar” to <li id="login">. That should style it the same as the rest of the items on your sidebar, even with the extra ul. ??

Well, I don’t actually see a scroll… it’s got a bullet in front of it, but that may have to do with this:

You still have the opening <ul> below the login section, and then you’ve got a random closing </ul> in there…

Take the closing ul at the end of the login bit out, and move the opening ul up to just below <div id="sidebar">.

Then see what you get. ??
