The user account you’re using to log in to WP probably doesn’t have the required permissions to upload files. Log in to WP as an administrator (or ask your administrator) to allow file uploads for your particular user account.

Well, personally I never use any other text formatting than XHTML. Textile, Markdown and consorts are nice and all, but using them always means that you have to have a parser that understands that kind of formatting. That means it seriously hampers forwards, backwards or even sideways compatibility.
@allusion: exactly what part of womby’s post is possible with the latest CVS?
Picking a text processing plugin that at post time inserts XHTML into the database?
And if so, is that the _wp_page_template option I see down in the custom field area?

Also, shouldn’t you be able to set the type of formatting on a post-by-post basis? MT supports this.

On the matter of not making things worse: you could copy your current setup over to another directory/server, copy the DB over too, (set new details in config.php obviously), and see if the copy of your site still works. Then, if that’s established, install the latest nightly on top and check whether you’ve broken something really badly.

Thanks ?? The “menu” thing is just icing on the cake though, but the post slugs will be nice for fancy titles and simple URLs.
I think it would be a really powerful feature if you can have your blog in a subdirectory (/blog/) while still being able to use WP to edit Pages in higher directories (like root).

Hmm, I had no such problems. The Pages I had already created displayed fine and updating the permalink structure worked okay. A new Page created showed up fine too.
Previously the Pages were ‘published’ under the /site/ directory, but that limitation has been removed.
One slight problem remaining is that once you save a new Page, WP returns to the Write screen instead of the Manage/Page screen. I’ll plug that into the buglist.

Would it be too much trouble to set up WP in a separate directory, like: domain.com/blog/ ? Looking at your site, you’ll probably still be able to pull headers and footers in by editing WP’s index.php.

Pivot uses flat xml files for storage right? Someone with a bit more knowledge of PHP than me should be able to knock something together ??

Most probably you want this in your index.php:
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php echo $siteurl; ?>/wp-layout.css;);
</style>

Most probably if I may hazard a guess ??

Any list that uses ul/li tags can easily be turned into a horizontal navigation scheme. Check out Listamatic for examples of how to write your CSS code.

Looking at your website, you already appear to have fixed it. Just in case someone else is wondering: you have to edit the index.php file in the WP directory. Find this line:
<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
and change it to:
<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

You can create a specific “page.php” file and drop it in the WP dir. WP 1.3 will then use that page instead of the standard “index.php” to render your static pages. While I haven’t looked into the title issue specifically, I’m sure you can a meta title directive to that page and have it filled out automatically by WP.

I’m wondering if chickbots are diminutive versions of fembots. It’s pretty obvious what muffinboys are ??
