Another Bug: the custom theme directory seems to be wrong (this could do with more documentation generally). It also seems to use a multisite blog id even when on a single instance.

Line 273 on includes.php (using WP 3.0.1) seems to control the redirect on login failure.

<form name="' . $args['form_id'] . '" id="' . $args['form_id'] . '" action="' . site_url( 'wp-login.php', 'login' ) . '" method="post">

Changing wp-login.php in the code above seems to have the behaviour I’m looking for.

BUT! It’s never a good idea to hack the core, and I don’t know whether something else may break if I do this.

What I’d really like to do is write a new function in my functions.php, to be inserted into wp_login_form(); on includes.php.

Is that kind of thing possible? What’s the best course of action here? Can something on functions.php be made to override or add to existing core functions?

Put this in the loop:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[mappress]'); ?>

Won’t work on custom page templates though…

I’ve noticed this problem too – seems the plugin doesn’t register with wp_head when you’re using a custom page template. Every other page is fine.

Anyone have any pointers on hacking the plugin to make it work?

Er, figured it out- it’s not different at all. Here’s what worked for me, in case it’s handy for anyone:

<?php
function attachment_toolbox($size = thumbnail) {

	if($images = get_children(array(
		'post_parent'    => get_the_ID(),
		'post_type'      => 'attachment',
		'numberposts'    => -1, // show all
		'post_status'    => null,
		'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	))) {

		echo '<br class="clearboth" /><h3>Other Editions:<h3><ul class="otherEds">';
		$postcounter = 0;

		foreach($images as $image) {
			$attimg   = wp_get_attachment_image($image->ID,$size);
			$atturl   = wp_get_attachment_url($image->ID);
			$attlink  = get_attachment_link($image->ID);
			$postlink = get_permalink($image->post_parent);
			$atttitle = apply_filters('the_title',$image->post_title);
			$attcontent = ($image->post_content);

			echo '<li class="onecolfive left fivecolmargin"><div class="bookimage">'.$attimg.'</div>';
			echo '<p><strong>'.$atttitle.'</strong></p>';
			echo '<p>'.$attcontent.'</p></li>';
			$postcounter++;
			if ($postcounter % 5 == 0) {;
				echo '<br class="clearboth" />';
				};
		}

		echo '</ul>';
	}
}
?>

Thanks for this. I had no idea about wp_reset_query and didn’t know how to describe it to search for it. Much appreciated.

nobody got any thoughts on this?

@mandawahoo: glad you found it useful!

@shakingpaper & @perthmetro: to link to the categories just echo the category link as per bechster’s code mentioned above. For example instead of just echoing the cat_name, try this:

echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'">';
 echo $childcat->cat_name . '</a>';

If you want to include a seperator just add it into the echo after the cat_name.

Hope that helps…

Hi! Sorry about the delay- That’s got it, absolutely.

Thanks!

1. go to your style.css and find #rap

2. remove the lines:
margin-left:70px;
margin-right:auto;

3. Replace them with the line:
margin:auto;

Bingo!

Same issues as Simon here… I’m running 2.8.4, and none of the above solutions seem to have any effect in my functions file… Probably I’m missing something obvious (a brain) but nonetheless, help appreciated…

Hey Ernesto- I like your snippet here- very useful- but is there a way to make the $categoryPosts query output information other than the_title?

I’m trying to make it include an excerpt and thumbnail, but when I add these tags to the the query it presumes they’re to be passed into the php, not displayed.

So I’ve had a fiddle and come up with this, which nearly works, but still has some odd behaviour… Can you see a better way (than using echoes etc) to build a more complicated output?

//Gets category and author info
  global $wp_query;
$cats = get_the_category();
$tempQuery = $wp_query;
  $currentId = $post->ID;

// related category posts
  $catlist = "";
  forEach( $cats as $c ) {
  if( $catlist != "" ) { $catlist .= ","; }
  $catlist .= $c->cat_ID;
  }
  $newQuery = "posts_per_page=3&cat=" . $catlist;
  query_posts( $newQuery );
$categoryPosts = "";
  $count = 0;
if (have_posts()) {
  while (have_posts()) {
  the_post();
  if( $count<4 && $currentId!=$post->ID) {
  $count++;
  echo '<ul>';
  $categoryPosts .= 

  '';
  echo '<li><h3><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="' . the_title( "", "", false ) . '">' . the_title( "", "", false ) . '</a></h3>';
  echo '<div class="onecol left topmarginsmall">' . wct_display_thumb() . '</div>';
  echo the_excerpt();
  echo '</li>';
  }
  echo '</ul>';
  }
  }
  $wp_query = $tempQuery;
  ?>

Thanks!

Hey Gilles,

I can’t tell specifically without seeing your php, but it looks like your template/header is using absolute paths to js and css files. If you check the generated source of your webpage you’ll see things like

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://localhost/skid/wp-content/themes/freshy2/custom_my_style.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>

You should be using bloginfo php calls like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

There plenty of addresses which are stored this way for easy portability. Check out bloginfo in the tags.

There may be other places you are calling the localhost- you could try a database search to see if you’ve got other instances…

Hope this helps.

How frustrating. Anybody find any solutions here?

I see you got it working with the masonry script- out of interest- was that difficult?
