In reply to: Controlling RSS Feed via category inclusion?It’s supported natively. If you are using pretty permalinks, your feed is:
https://yourhost.com/yourblogdirectory/category/editorial/feed/
If that fails you can use:
https://yourhost.com/yourblogdirectory/wp-rss2.php?cat=6
if the category is 6. More info is here:

In reply to: Pasting from Microsoft Word breaks on save‘paste from word’ won’t convert your Word tables but it is handy to get the text over.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Pasting from Microsoft Word breaks on saveSave the word file as html and paste your selection’s html into the ‘code’ tab. You’ll still have to do some editing because Word’s HTML conversion is somewhat inconsistent in my experience.
Understand there is a significant difference between html editing which is what writing in WordPress is and writing in a word processor environment.

In reply to: Help Explain is_single() ConditionMy theme has an “about” statment using a condition but it’s called by sidebar.php after it checks to see if a dynamic sidebar (widgets) is used. Consequently, the ‘about’ statement doesn’t appear because I use a dynamic sidebar.
So if you’re using widgets, move the ‘about’ code text in your theme before the call to the dynamic sidebar check.

In reply to: Add New Page, But No comments allowed?Looks great. Now you may want to go back into your other pages and turn commenting off as appropriate.
Now that you’re up and running, I suggest you give template writing a try.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Add New Page, But No comments allowed?Couple of options for you. I’d recommend making a template using the page.php from your theme. Look around here to find out how to do that if you’re not sure. Right before the end of the Loop, add the following code
<?php if (comments_open()) comments_template(); ?>
. Use this template for the Submit Themes page.Of course, you can add this code to your existing page.php file and be done with it AFTER you make a backup copy of your page.php file in case something goes wrong.

In reply to: Am I right to be scared of upgrading to 2.2?Keep in mind you only read about problems here. I had two glitches and they were both because of my specific configuration. They’re solved now so I’d say not to worry about upgrading.

In reply to: Upgrade to 2.2; Visual Editor in Firefox and DashboardTook the rogue index.php file out of my plugins folder and the dashboard redirect works again. Not sure how it got there in the first place.

In reply to: Disappearing Rich Visual EditorIf you are running the my page order plugin, get the updated version. There was a bug in it that broke the visual editor.

In reply to: Upgrade to 2.2; Visual Editor in Firefox and DashboardVisual editor is back. The offending plugin my page orderhas been updated and now works with 2.2.
The author went above and beyond my emailing me with the update announcement. Another reason to leave comments with plugin developers.

In reply to: Disappearing Rich Visual EditorI had an odd experience. TinyMCE wasn’t loading on my Mac using Firefox 1.5.x and 10.3.9. I drafted a post saved and continued editing and all of a sudden, the visual editor appeared. I tried to replicate that and failed. I use an older version of tinyMCE with another application and it loaded fine using Firefox on the same Mac. I went home and tried Firefox on my Intel Mac running the latest 10.4.x system without the visual editor loading. Camino 1.0x also didn’t load the visual editor.
I tried the same thing using Firefox 2.0.3 on my Dell and never saw the visual editor. However, IE 7 loads the visual editor just fine.
I’m thinking this may be more of a tinyMCE problem than a wordpress problem.
