Thanks, Viper007Bond! ??

I am assuming this takes care of the pre-installed options — point b)1. in my initial post)

How about point b)2. (pre-defined options for plugins)? Is there any way to do this all at once, as opposed to setting up options for each plugin separately? Also, is it possible to have the plugins activated by default?

Last bump… ??

Nobody knows the answer to this question???

I am going to give it a try and report back.

Worked fine! Thanks, Matty! ??

Regarding…

b. You can plead with Matty to tell you how to put Subscribe2 in your sidebar without widgetizing or changing your current theme.

See this thread.

FYI, Matty just posted the non-widget Subscribe2 solution to his blog.

Here’s the code he recommends:

$content = apply_filters('the_content', '<!--subscribe2-->
');
echo $content;

I am going to give it a try and report back.

Bump ??

Thanks, TwoMotifs, but that’s not what I need (at least, I think it’s not).

I don’t want to serve template-specific content based on the template file being called (which is what is_page() would be useful for)…

Instead, I want to insert contents of a particular Page in my template file using query_posts(), provided that the Page exists in the database. If the Page doesn’t exist, I want to serve the template without the ‘query_posts()’. Along the lines of…

1. Does the page ‘pagename’ exist?
2. If yes, run template with query_posts().
3. If not, run template without query_posts().

Anybody?

Matty, your poll results seem to be quite unanimous in wanting also the non-widgetized version. Do you have any plans to release it (supported or not)?

If you have a widgets-enabled theme…

1. Install and activate the widgets plugin.

2. Install and activate the Subscribe2Widgets plugin.

3. Go to your WP admin panel: Presentation > Sidebar Widgets

4. Drag and drop the Subscribe2Widget box to your sidebar, as per instructions on the page (and/or info accompanying the above two plugins).

If you don’t have a widgets-enbled theme…

a. You can modify your theme to work with widgets, or…

b. You can plead with Matty to tell you how to put Subscribe2 in your sidebar without widgetizing or changing your current theme.

Hope this helps!

I emailed Kates directly and he was kind enough to reply:

use %url%%F% %j%, %Y%%url%.

For other date format go to https://www.php.net/date.
You can omit the %url% tags if you don’t want it to be a link.

Anybody?

@dave: Most likely you have an extra space between “?” and “php”. There should be none.

<? php = wrong
<?php = correct

Hope this helps!

Good points, whooami! Thanks! ??

option 1 is bloated, you dont need the surrounding div. I float images left and right ALL of the time with no <div>.

Yes, floating images without the surrounding div should work, in theory. However, there are browser compatibility issues involved here and it also depends on the structure of your theme’s style sheet. While not a purist’s choice, a surrounding div is definitely the safe way.

So, it doesn’t take more time to asseble a page from more template files as opposed to putting it together from one template file?

Also, is there a difference (in load time) between the default WP template files (index.php, archive.php, etc.) and custom template files (called via php includes)?
