Using CSS to set the margins of <ol>/<ul>/<li> tags will help to standardize how they are displayed over multiple browsers.

odd.

it works fine if you hit ‘enter’ after tping your search, but the auto search thing gets 404.

The code that automates the search bar must be returning a value that wp won’t recognize.

scary, i searched “hu” and hit enter.. was auto redirected to a BMW car blog site (bimmermania.com ?) that had a post from a kyleabaker… is that normal?? o_O

I don’t understand what you mean when you say you want widgets to be your child pages?

Are you just saying you want specific widgets to be in the sidebar when specific pages are displayed?

If so, you will need to use conditionals in your sidebar.php file that will include those widgets depending on the page title.

any PHP’ers in the house?

This is an issue with cross-browser compatibility, not WordPress.

The problem is in the CSS.

One thing that comes to mind is using the ‘min-height’ value- i see it a lot in your stylesheet. Firefox and IE treat min-height differently. I don’t have time at the moment to pour all the way through, so you may want to ask a CSS forum instead.

I’ll try to get back to this though.

I may have found the answer (at least in my case).

My apache was not set to rewrite my .htaccess file to allow wordpress to create custom permalinks.

I go to where apache is installed and opened: apache/conf/httpd file, scrolled down to

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and deleted the ‘#’ in front of it (which activates it).

It may be worth checking that out. Also www.remarpro.com says that windows servers running IIS6 (or whatever it is) can cause problems writing to the .htaccess.

In conclusion, it is the .htaccess file that allows custom links. So when you upgrade to a new version of WP make sure that file is not over-written or deleted.

Bah, here is the new development.

I can only use the default permalink structure in wordpress.

Using a custom permalink or even the other preset permalink structures in wordpress will result in the 404 error.

Any way to fix this?

There have been a few other posts like this, with their own conclusions. yet they don’t solve this issue. What is happening to my content?

page.php and index.php wont bring up the content that is stored on the database.

My instinct is that the code is not recognizing the permalink, and therefore thinks it doesn’t exist on the server. Yet I have changed the permalink settings and even went as far as deleting the old pages and making entirely new pages. No improvement.

thanks so much!

I see a lot of if if if, and no endif.

Also, I believe using elseif is better practice than using if’s for everything. I am not a great programmer, but if i understand correctly, when the code is read and it goes through the first “if” and it returns a false, it will end the code when there is no elseif or endif… Therefore the rest of your code (i.e. the other if’s) won’t even get read.
