Vlog,
I stumbled upon this post while trying to find the same solution.
Not sure if you found your answer but I was able to come up with a solution that worked for me. I was looking to pad the comment number, so that it was always 3 digits, in a link that was being generated by the function

comments_popup_link('000', '001', '%');

What I did was rather than use this function I dissected how it was getting all it’s bits and replaced the instance of the function call with the following code.

echo '<a href="'.get_permalink().'#comments" title="Comment on '.get_the_title().'">';
printf ("%03d", get_comments_number());
echo '</a>';

It’s not exactly the most elegant thing but it does what I want it to. Hope that’s helpful.

J.

help.

*whimper*

(single tear)

This is still an issue any help would be appreciated.

It is a clean install.

I’ve done the re-install a couple of times and probably will try again.

Thank you though for writing.

ccoupe thanks for you help it’s greatly appreciated.

my .htaccess file looks like this right now…

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I switched to default links, but that had no affect on my ability to use the control panel to add or edit posts.

I am desperate to resolve the issue, any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

J.

I didn’t get any errors, and if I go there now it says its all good.
Should I revert? Is that even possible, I mean are there downloads for past versions available? I guess I should go check.

Any assistance please, thank you.

Any other thoughts would be welcomed.

Thank you for your response but plugins are not part of the issue, I do not have any enabled.

I had the same issue but it was my own fault, I had a different header file for the archive pages, a bad hack I know but that did the trick for me.

Rudolf45 I appreciate you sharing your opinion, I wish it was constructive, but thank you for stopping by none the less.

I believe that the system I was inquiring about, if built correctly, could easily show both the previous and the next posts in order giving a range of the before and after posts.
Perhaps existing in conjunction with the current system to intice those who stumble onto my older stuff to see what I am up to now.

I will explore your suggestion Azaozz, thanks.

That would work correctly on the home page but it would just show the five most recent posts on any other page.

I am looking for something that would see the posts either the exerpt or a full post that is displayed and then identify either-which of those excerpts are the oldest and begin the list there or, if it is a single full post view begin the list with the post that came before that full post view.

Make sense?

Thanks,
J.

I’ll look into that azaozz but I it sounds like that would only fix the double file issue, that still leaves the issue of making the previous post links fall in line on the inner pages.

Thank you both for your input by the way.

I suppose that would do the trick for the home page, but it lacks the logic to make it a uniform solution. I would have to make two seperate sidebar files and leave the sidebar on inner pages listing the latest posts rather than the ones older than the currently viewed post.

Thank you so much, that worked like a charm.
Mark this question resolved.

Very much appreciated.

J.
