  • I was going to suggest using XML-RPC to add posts into wordpress, then using PHP and an XML parser… but thought there might be a simpler solution. Looks like someone made a plugin to import posts into wordpress from excel files, maybe it would work for you.

    If you want to exclude all the search engine spiders from your entire domain, you would add a robots.txt file your website folder and put the following text in it:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /

    Use with care as the site won’t get indexed by search engines while the file is still there. See here for more information on robots.txt.

    That’s happening when there isn’t enough space for the text to fit on one line. Either the browser window is too small or the text is displayed too big. Since the grey graphic is a fixed size, you’ll have to shrink the text to make it fit better.

    To make the text smaller edit style.css in your theme and change:

    .post-info{
    background:transparent url(images/info-bar.png) no-repeat right top;
    height:42px;
    margin-left:11px;
    font-style:italic;
    color:#bbb;
    }

    to

    .post-info{
    background:transparent url(images/info-bar.png) no-repeat right top;
    height:42px;
    margin-left:11px;
    font-style:italic;
    color:#bbb;
    font-size: 12px;
    }

    That will give the text more space and help it fit on one line over the grey graphic.

    This may or may not be helpful, but I tried testing your site in the Camino browser that was loading the purple-only page when I removed either:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="Planet%20Thrive%20Files/prototype.js"></script>

    or

    <script type="text/javascript" src="Planet%20Thrive%20Files/scripts.js"></script><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Planet%20Thrive%20Files/javascript.css">

    The site would load properly again…

    Also, disabling javascript in the browser and then removing

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Planet%20Thrive%20Files/javascript.css">

    also made it work again. Oddly, though, the .css when removed without first disabling javascript doesn’t seem to fix. The javascript.css file only has

    #wrapper { display: none; }

    in it. Maybe that’s enough to get you where you can isolate the problem or for someone else to carry this through to resolution.

    Yep, that’s where the google analytics code should code. There’s also a plugin for google analytics, but if you’ve got it working there’s no need for a plugin unless you want to track clicks to links.

    Looking at how you have this set up it might be easier to link to https://www.kenacubed.com/forum/?p=1#comments instead of https://www.kenacubed.com/forum/. This way the post with the comments is the first place they land on.

    The other way would be change to a comment-dedicated theme, maybe something like P2 theme available here. That would make WordPress more suitable for a comment forum.

    No problem. Here’s an example of getting posts that are the same month and same day of the month for category 1 as the current month and day.

    <?php
    $today = getdate();
    $myposts = get_posts(monthnum=' .$today['mon'] .'&day='.$today['mday'].'&cat=1' );
    ?>

    You would use this in your theme template, such as sidebar.php, in a loop like this:

    <ul>
    <?php
    $today = getdate();
    $myposts = get_posts('monthnum=' .$today['mon'].'&day='.$today['mday'].'&cat=1');
    	foreach($myposts as $post) :
    ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>

    Also, here’s some more info on using get_posts().
    Hope that helps!

    Here’s a simple way to skip outputting a comment in category 112 with the method you suggested:

    <?php
    if (in_category( '112', $comment->comment_post_ID )){
    continue;
    }
     ?>

    Put that in the foreach loops, like this:

    <?php
    global $comment; if ( $comments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT comment_author, comment_author_url, comment_ID, comment_post_ID FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved='1' AND comment_type='' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 10") ) : ?>
    <ul>
    <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) {
    if (in_category( '112', $comment->comment_post_ID ){
    continue;
    }
      echo '<li>' . sprintf('%s <span style="text-transform: lowercase;">on </span>%s', get_comment_author_link(), '<a href="'. get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID) . '#comment-' . $comment->comment_ID . '">' . get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID) . '</a>');
      echo '</li>'; } ?>
    </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>

    A nicer way might be to change your sql to never select comments in that category, using this pseudocode “and comment_id not in (select comment_ids where post_taxonomy_id = 112)”, but the above php code should work too.

    Maybe Squarespace is easier.

    Is the comment pending approval / moderation?

    Hi, that red bar shows up when the list item has the “current_page_item” class, so let’s print that if we’re on the contact page. Try this code:

    <li<?php if (is_home()) { ?> class="current_page_item"<?php } ?>>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>">Home
    <?php qbkl_nospace(wp_list_pages('include='.$theme_options["top_menu_pages"].'&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=')); ?>
    <li class="page_item<?php if (is_page('contact')){ ?> current_page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="https://www.stupidpicturesvideosandmusic.com/contact/">Contact</a></li>

    The problem is that the plugin you’re using, Audio Player, only adds a filter to the_content() function. Most themes only use that on posts and pages, not indexes where they use the_excerpt() instead for a short summary.

    If you edit index.php and replace the_excerpt() with the_content() it will work, but it will also display the full post on your index page.

    Another long shot could be to edit the plugin file /wp-content/audio-player/audio-player.php and change

    // Add filter hook
    add_filter('the_content', 'ap_insert_player_widgets');

    to

    // Add filter hook
    add_filter('the_content', 'ap_insert_player_widgets');
    add_filter('the_excerpt', 'ap_insert_player_widgets');

    Here are two threads that discuss this– maybe one of them would work for you.

    Here’s an easy way to add this support using javascript. Add this piece of HTML code anywhere on your site, such as footer.php in your theme.

    <script src="https://static.wowhead.com/widgets/power.js"></script>

    This uses the Wowhead tooltip.
