In reply to: Blank Page Returned with post.phpThis is probably because you’ve busted your PHP
memory_limit. Try increasing it to 16M or even 32M.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Image replacement of First LetterI’m not aware of any plugins that do this (I haven’t searched, though), but something like this [1] could be implemented with a plugin that filters the

In reply to: Favicon QuestionsOkay, hpnotiq, first thing is to validate your site. You can’t put a
<link>tag inside the<body>tag.Okay, back to your question, the following code appears to fix all the problems:
#commentbox p.commentby img {
float: right;
max-width: 16px; max-height: 16px;
}That will not fix it in IE6, but who sane uses that crap anyway?
Husher, you should not use custom fonts in your blog posts. You can not guarantee that your viewers will have the font, and if all your posts use a different font it will look as bad as a MySpace blog.
Although, if you would like your blog to look like crap, then feel free.
If you want to change the font for all your blog posts, I recommend editing your theme’s stylesheet (/wp-content/themes/theme/style.css) or choosing a theme from https://themes.wordpress.net/.

In reply to: Feedburner activationA private feed is a special feed that FeedBurner grabs your RSS from, and that no-one else knows about. When FeedBurner grabs your RSS, it publishes it at https://rss.feedburner.com/Whatever.
You don’t need a chicklet. If done properly, the existing RSS links will be re-written to point to FeedBurner. What version of Steve’s FeedBurner plugin are you using? Though version 2.1 is out, I currently use version 2.02 (with my own hacks) because I can’t be bothered upgrading. I believe the new (v2.1) plugin also makes your feed links point straight to FeedBurner. The one I use doesn’t do that, so I also use the Feed Locations plugin in conjunction.
If you do want a chicklet anyway (e.g. to advertise the number of subscribers), the easiest way is to use Sidebar Modules. You can add the chicklet with the “HTML module” (you’ll see what I mean if you install it).

In reply to: Exporting without TrackbacksDelete them first. Perhaps a MySQL query would come in handy.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Tack Back ErrorsIt is probably a problem related to your web server configuration.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installed, but can’t get to admin.Do you have your MySQL username and password correctly entered in wp-config.php? Also, the MySQL user needs to be set to use the “local” host, not “any host”, as that excludes local.

In reply to: Unable IMPORT LINKS!!!!!!!I just had an idea – perhaps it’s related to a UTF-8 byte-order mark? They are very hard to find (invisible in most text-editors) and very hard to remove. About 99% of the time SQL imports into phpMyAdmin fails, I find it is because of a present BOM.
Google for “byte-order mark” for more info.

In reply to: Extra space after the closing </a> tag in wp_list_catsIt looks quite nice to me! Has your question been answered? If so, can you do use a favour by marking this support topic as resolved? Thanks.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Extra space after the closing </a> tag in wp_list_catsAre the li’s set to display: inline;? If so, the web browser seems to insert a normal ASCII space after each li. I don’t know how to fix that one.
I had a bit of trouble which seems similar to yours but I figured it was that the padding was being applied elsewhere. Can I have a link to the site where you’re having the trouble?

In reply to: Template disappeared, sidebar floating at bottom. Help!MerryMary, if your theme is stuffed up, I would recommend re-loading the original theme from the WordPress ZIP file and using Sidebar Widgets or Sidebar Modules (plugins) to customise your sidebar. It is much less painful and much easier in the long run.
For the Google ads, there are several plugins to choose from which do the job. Just search a WordPress plugin repository.
I do not think the theme should be touched by human hands if you are not familiar with valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS, as that is what the theme is written in.

In reply to: Add a custom fieldDisclaimer: I have only written half a plugin in my life.
What you can do is use the Custom Fields section in the Write Post page to add “metadata” to a post. For example, in the Key field I would write
Source, and in the Value field I would post the source URL or bibliography.You can then write a plugin that uses the get_post_meta() function to see if a particular post has Source metadata and use the
the_contenthook to display the source at the end of the post.I’m sorry for sounding intimidating, but I don’t know of any plugins that do that. Actually, the half-plugin that I’ve written is called “Match Scores” which does a similar thing (plugin unpublished at the moment). It adds a form to the Write Post form and prompts for football team names and scores for a match. It then hooks into
the_contentand format the scores nicely.If you like, I can send you a copy of what I’ve written in the plugin so far and maybe even customise it for your purposes. If you’re interested, drop by me at https://narnia.bounceme.net/jeremy/about/ and send me an email if you have a Wikipedia account, or an IM if you don’t.
