I know this doesn’t address your issue of the navigational names being changed automatically, but why don’t you name the pages their “long” names to start with, and then when you’re constructing the menu you can make them have short labels. And no one would see the longer navigational labels this way.

I wouldn’t think you’d need to change the page titles all that much after setting them up.

Trying to do exactly the same thing, but I want to use a custom post type (“events”) and order by the value of the custom field.

I can get it to order by the value of the custom field, but not filter out posts with a “past” date.

Here’s the code for mine (I know it’s incomplete, but I don’t know what to do):

<?php $event_date = the_date('Ymd'); ?>

<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'events',
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'meta_key'=>'Date-yyyymmdd',
    'meta_compare'=>'>=',
    'orderby'=>'meta_value',
    'order'=>ASC ) ); ?>

<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

In WordPress 3.0, you need to go to the “loop.php” file, search for “the_excerpt()” and replace it with “the_content()” in one place.

It might be different depending on what theme you’re using, but in “Twenty Ten” the place you need to replace it is here:

<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
			<div class="entry-summary">
				<?php the_excerpt(); ?><!-- CHANGE THIS TO "the_content()" -->

This appears to be working for me.

It seems like with the addition of the menu builder, there should be a simple checkbox in the backend allowing Category pages to display full posts instead of excerpts.

Thanks again. You’re a wealth of info for a newb like me. Sorry about the dupe post too.

I reviewed the PHP tags in the wp_list_authors article, but I couldn’t find a way to show the author’s Gravatar. Am I missing something?

Ah, thanks.

I actually was able to pull the files off with CyberDuck FTP client. It appears to have worked perfectly.

Is there a similar repository for the Widgets used by WordPress.com?

Great link! Thanks.

How do I get it to download as a file folder? As it is, I can only download each thing individually.

I know, but that’s just the point. Why can I get everything else but the themes and widgets included in WordPress.com?

Plus, maybe it’s just because I’m a newb, but I can’t figure out what plugins are actually for 2.7. There are some that appear to be for very old legacy versions of WordPress.

I have sent a link to this thread to the coder; he should be monitoring it and perhaps responding.

Thanks! I will point the coder in this direction. Anyone else have anything to add to this?
