Re: the post right before mine: Where would I GET the “new set of rules” to copy and paste? I like your suggestion best, but I don’t understand where/how these rules get generated without WP writing to my htaccess file on its own, which I would rather not have it do.

Trying to create a new “About” Page and upload via Dreamweaver. Page doesn’t show, getting a 404.

Macmanx, thanks. That’s what I wanted to know, being concerned re: whether WP would, uh, vurp all over my htaccess files. (Yes, plural, multiple domains and addons, and only one using WP.)

As you probably know, htaccess lines are real temperamental; didn’t want to take the chance on something messing up my long hours of code and all the sites.

Sounds like WP’s Create Page function keeps any add’l hta directives separated and easy to find/delete if necessary. I also assume I will be able to delete the newly-created Page if something goes horribly wrong and I need to abort/restore.

Again, gracias for the info!

Moshu, I will be very interested in hearing the answer to your question too, and will wait to try “Creating a Page” until I know for sure.

Denzola, I’m pretty new but I think a new registrant is emailed a randomly-generated password especially for their use, so no, I don’t think they have access except to comment on your blog. If you don’t want them to even be able to comment, I think you go into admin and delete a user. It says it will delete them and all their posts.

Take my words with a grain, I could be very wrong. Anyone else?

ASIDE: I have been wondering myself if, when a new user registers, and suppose they then change their password, is there anyway for me to keep them off my blog IF for some reason I really didn’t want them to comment, ever? Just askin’.

Thanks!

Thanks! That explanation is exactly what I was looking for.

Hope my befuddlement helps some other person who wanders through here someday because, by default, my d/l of Kubrick-out-of-the-box was displaying the date on every additional entry within the same day (I swear), and doing so even though the Codex indicates that the default theme is supposed to display the date only once per day regardless of the number of entries you make during that one day.

That is what really confused me, or just increased my already-high levels of confusion.

Here’s what I had in my index.php file:

<div class="post">
<h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

And here’s what I have now:

<div class="post">
<h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_date('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

I just changed ‘the_time . . . to . . . ‘the_date’ and left everything else exactly as it was, and it is now working like it was supposed to all along, per this bit from the codex:

When there are multiple posts published on the same date on a page, the tag [php the_date] will only display the date the first time it’s called.

Just thought I would update. Thanks again. ??

So should I remove the date format string (the stuff within the parens: ‘F jS, Y’) to get it to stop displaying the day’s date on every post I make during that same day? Sorry to be dense, but I’m new at php . . .

It’s strange that it’s called “the_time” because my posts don’t ever show the time (on my front page), which is fine with me, but something is causing the danged date to appear under the title of every single post I make — within the same day. It’s driving me crazy.

Thanks so much for your help! ??

Thanks both of you for responding! ?? I understand now and there’s nothing wrong.

I guess as a former MT user I was “expecting” the time (by default) to show up on top of every individual post on the front page, like the date does (I’d like to find a way to not have the date repeat for each post within the same day, but that’s another project!), but in WP1.5/Kubrick it is only coded to appear on the SINGLE post page, as you said.

Thank you again for the helpful answers/explanations.

I saw this one the other day. Talk about “Kubrick.” Heh.
