This is an odd response. If you have things set up locally, then you can develop so much more quickly, since you don’t have to connect to the net every moment. A very fast connection will likely make this problem minimal, but my DSL line is so-so. It makes a big difference.

I’m curious about this as well. This was one of many issues I had when moving a blog installation from my local MAMP installation to a live server.

This doesn’t work for me… see my reply on another thread, but I’m curious if anyone else is having this problem and CAN’T fix it…

This doesn’t work for me. I have:

* UNchecked “Users should use the visual rich editor by default” on OPTIONS > WRITING;
* UNchecked “Convert emoticons…” on OPTIONS > WRITING for good measure; and then
* UNchecked “Use the visual rich editor when writing” on my own profile page.

And yet, the rich editor is STILL THERE when I go to write a post. Go away, editor!

Anyone else have this persistent problem? Do I need to clear my cache?

I would advise caution re the Admin Revert plugin–it reverted more then I want, and at the moment I’m trying to get it back. But the plugin’s been disabled and removed from the folder, the cache has been deleted, and still I feel its powerful effects on my Write Post and Write Page pages. Not sure where else…

Caution.

Okay, Owen’s Admin Revert plugin seems more permanent than I expected. I tried it to see if it looked better (in WP 2.0, and I re-read it, and it says it’s a WP 1.6 plugin, but hey, mistakes were made) and it got rid of a lot of annoying cruft in the Write Page interface. Too much, as a matter of fact.

So, I disabled the plugin.

And I refreshed the Write Page page, and the missing fields were still missing. I refreshed a couple of more times to be sure. Still missing.

Then I deleted the plugin.

The fields are still missing.

I cleared the cache…

You guessed it, the fields (such as parent page, post slug, and more) are not anywhere to be seen.

Yarr…..

I second the request. So much cruft. We need a much easier way than hacking for these pages to be modifiable. A way to edit what shows up on this page would be WAY useful. Denis de Bernardy’s Admin Simplified worked well for WP 1.5, but now… it’s frustrating.

Don’t know if you found help for this, but a basic option (assuming you know your PHP somewhat) is to look at another plugin which affects posts, such as Basic Bilingual (search for that) and look at how that plugin attaches an action to the edit post pages. That’ll show up at the bottom of the plugin. Then create a function which basically is a big echo statement of your message, and voilà! You have a message showing up at the bottom of the page.

Okay this could be more specific but hopefully this points you in the right direction…

I’m having worse luck.

For me it just displays the same list of pages, no matter what page I’m actually on. So I guess it you could say it fails to work, but it does so seamlessly ??

Astounding!

I had already duplicated the Loop in a new template, and that’s where I’d gotten stuck. I did just what you said—I replaced the <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> statement with the query_posts statement, then ripped out the else and endif at the end of the loop. Works like a charm.

Thank you so much, you rock!

I think this should be part of the Codex. Maybe I’ll write a how-to.

Well, I ended up being able to do it.

But it involved building a replacement function not only for wp_list_pages() but also for _page_level_out() and get_page_link(). Hairy.

If you find yourself reading this and you’re desperate for help, I could probably send you code for review, but it’s specific to my application and I’m not really in a position to offer too much support. I may release it as part of a bilingual plugin at some point, but there are enough problems with it that it may not really be suitable for general release.

Okay, well, easy come, easy go.

Sorry if you’re reading this looking for answers—my only advice would be “wait a while and maybe it will go away”. Because that’s what happened to me. Now, admittedly, I was continuing to tinker like mad on the site. But I certainly never did something that conclusively got rid of the problem. It was just suddenly not there, kind of like Alderaan, but much better really.

So, um,

Never mind…

Don’t worry about leaving off the ‘.html’ – that is half the glory of permalinks right there! People would rather NOT think about all that. A site address like ‘something.com/somethingelse/’ is something you could actually tell someone at a party and they might remember.

That said, I like the look of just doing /%postname%/, but it does mean you can’t use the same one ever again.

Worth thinking about some, and then when you’re done, don’t mess with it – after all, they’re permalinks ??

I think you could do it by creating a different template to apply. Then you could include a different header template, which doesn’t have the same stylesheet…

Not sure if that helps, but think that’s where you need to go.

If you’re trying to have it apply to a certain category…? Mmm, dunno.

nunuh – did you have a space between the * and the content?
