Me too. ??

I’m with you. I have a page with patterns I’ve created, and as I’m getting more than a few now I wanted each pattern to have its own sub-page under Patterns instead. I came across this exact same issue because the pattern file had the same name as the page. It’s not like I can rename either as my users wouldn’t be able to find the download file or the page.

My solution is going to be moving everything in the media library to somewhere else on the server and updating my links. Essentially, until there is a way to change the permalinks or the way that the media library works, I’m not going to use it.

I’ve got something similar going on here:

https://www.cordweekly.com/blogs/

They aren’t exactly blogs, but are just a collection of Pages with subpage content displayed on them under the main Page “Blogs”.

Each ‘post’ is a Page with the Blog subpage as a parent.

E.g.: Blogs > Blog name > Post is actually Parent Page > child Page > grandchild Page

I used the information in this post to set it up.

…Now I just need to get the sidebar to do what I want.

While hunting around I found this: https://www.technosailor.com/wordpress-to-wordpress-import/

I have that plugin installed and I created an anonymous user group for the user so that I can change their capabilities without affecting any of the other users. The problem is, I don’t know how to create a capability that allows the user to write drafts but do nothing else.

I don’t want the anonymous user to be able to access the dashboard, or edit the anonymous posts, or edit the profile because I want that to stay anonymous as well.

Is there a way that I can somehow use the part of the ‘edit_posts’ capability that allows a user to write drafts, but not allow access to the rest?

There was some code here that let me remove the menus, but it did it for all users except for the admin user. Plus the dashboard still showed up so the anonymous user could just use those links to get to the profile and edit options.

I want to do something similar, but easier to implement.

I’ve created an anonymous user account that I wish anyone to be able to post to. The problem is, by making them a contributor they can edit all anonymous posts and edit the profile for that user, which are things I don’t want them to be able to do.

Is it possible for me to edit the dashboard for that one user so they cannot access these options? Or would I have to change them for the entire ‘contributor’ category?

If so, could I edit the ‘subscriber’ category (which otherwise doesn’t get used) to be able to write posts and do nothing else?

Clearing the browser cache is not enough. You need to clear the wordpress 2.0 cache in your wp-content folder.

Thanks so much for posting this. I’ve been having problems with my local copy of WordPress since upgrading and I couldn’t figure out why. I’d manually change the URIs in phpmyadmin and I couldn’t understand why the page would be partially called but also point to the live site. This solves it. I didn’t realise the cache was still looking for the old site. It does prevent database changes from being recognised for some time, and definitely messes with logins and redirects. I’ve just recently switched web hosts and now that I know this I’ll be sure to delete the cache before trying to update my information.

Thanks. That’s what I ended up doing because trying to find out where the errors were coming from was impossible.

I did a complete reinstall and then uploaded my database backup into a fresh database. All is now well.

Okay, I’ve tested that as well and it makes no difference. The error page displays the header content, so it’s not that either.

Basically, it’s not recognizing the stylesheet. What would cause that?

My header.php for kathy.deanomac.com contains the following code: <div id="header">
<ul id="topnav">
<script type="text/javascript">GOOGLE ADS HERE
</script> </a></li>
</ul>
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div id="desc"><?php bloginfo('description');?></div>
</div>.

For deanomac.com it says: <div id="header">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div id="desc"><?php bloginfo('description');?></div>
</div>.

Neither of them work with the 404 page. It does work for the default theme, which has a significantly more complicated header.php file. Is there something I need to add to mine to make the 404 page accept it?

From what I can tell, it’s a problem with one of the other theme files. I based my theme off the Connections theme from the themes directory, and the 404 page doesn’t seem to work for that theme either.

I’ve no problem fixing the theme, I just need to know where to look for a problem like this.

Edit: I’ve replaced the files one-by-one and my header.php file seems to be the culprit. I’m trying to find out why.

That’s the first line of my 404.php file, and my Google Ads show up so it’s calling the header at that point, at least.

Anything else?

My theme has a 404.php file, and I put ErrorDocument 404 /wordpress/index.php?error=404 in my .htaccess file. On both my live server and the local one it calls the 404 page, but without any of the styles.

What am I doing wrong?

I’ve just gotten started and haven’t had a chance to do much yet, but so far things look good and are working out. Great theme!
