In reply to: RSS ISO-8859-1I think the simple answer (as far as I know) is not without changing the encoding of your site to ISO-8859-1 as well. I think the feeds’ encoding reflects the sites’ encoding. I know there would be ways to change the encoding with some PHP, so if you’re intent on having only the feed as ISO-8859-1 you might want to either search such a script out or give a go at making one yourself. You could also change the encoding of your site, but that’s not necessarily recommended. Why would you want to have it as something other than UTF anyway?
Good luck,

In reply to: Page Titles – Can we do this in WP?It looks perfectly fine to me using Firefox 1.5.0.2 on SuSE Linux 10, no overlap whatsoever. The only thing I could vaguely imagine as the cause of over-lap on your computer would be your screen resolution maybe (ie: maybe yours is too small to fit everything?) – probably unlikely but unless I really have no clue what your talking about, it’s the onlything I can think of.
Good luck,

In reply to: Page Titles – Can we do this in WP?Bhooshan,
I think you may be confused about what you mean by title. The title bar is part of the browser, the title of the page that you are viewing in the window decoration at the very top (usually left) corner of the browser itself. Do you mean the header section of your blog perhaps?

In reply to: .htaccess (?) redirect help needed for moved WP installThis should do it for you then moshu:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp/(.*)$ /*subdomain*/$1 [R=301,L]Just change the *subdomain* to your intended subdomain and place the code (either all of it or the rewrite rule) into the .htaccess in your root (/home/*username*/public_html) directory or adjust the paths accordingly.
Cheers,
Michael.extravirgin,
I this Giving WordPress Its Own Directory article in the codex might be the answer you’re looking for, or at least a good starting point. I know there is a static homepage plug-in for WP as well, but I don’t have the URI at hand. Give the article a read or do a search for the static homepage plug-in and let us know how it goes.
Good luck,
Michael.EDIT: The Creating a Static Front Page article might help too!

In reply to: .htaccess (?) redirect help needed for moved WP installMoshu,
I use this redirect rule in my .htaccess, it would redirect any request for the old address to the new. I don’t use it with a sub domain, but I have used a similar rule in the past to completely different domains and it worked well:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp/(.*)$ https://sub.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]Just add all of that (or just the rule on the last line) to your .htaccess and give it ago. The above assumes the .htaccess will be in the root www directory. I’m not sure if it’s the best or not, but it works for me!
Good luck,

In reply to: Theme checkI like the design of it, its a bit pastel, but clean flowing, not too busy and the colours aren’t from contrast-hell! Benny Benassi has some great stuff, but I think I liked it more when he was KMC and had Dhany do the vocals, I never became a Sandy fan!
One thing though, the page seems quite sluggish (slow!), probably because of the video, but with video I suppose being a bit slower is the trade off.
And just because IE make lives miserable all over the world, the centre column is thrown way down in IE 6 on Win2K. Other than that, I think its fantastic.

In reply to: Supressing WordPress Error PageI use the following code in my .htaccess file to suppress the error messages and log those errors to the server log instead:
php_flag log_errors on
php_flag display_errors offThe only downside is that the visitor will get a blank white page if there is a fatal error. I believe your host does need to allow .htaccess settings to over-ride the php.ini values for this to work, you can also add add/change similar values in the ini file to achieve the same results.
Good luck,

In reply to: Magic codeThat is very, very odd – I think so anyway. Do you know who has the cached version? Is your WP install a “normal” one or do you have it mirrored/synced elsewhere or something like that?
Cheers,
Michael.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Magic codeIt’s always helpful to include the version of WP that you’re running, it help narrow the search, from a needle in a hay-stack to a need in .9 hay-stacks!
On WP 2.0.2 I renamed my categories.php and I get the old faithful 404 error. It may have to do with a cache somewhere, you can try doing shift + refresh in your browser or clearing out your browser cache and seeing if that phantom page is still there. There is also a cache in the wp-content directory, but I’m not sure exactly what it does in relation to caching whole pages or if it does anything at all.
Maybe you just have a caring server, it won’t let you delete pages you need!?

In reply to: unknown errorI’m not sure if you’ve fixed it or not, but I can’t replicate it in either Firefox (1.5.0.2) or IE 6 on Win2K. I think when it tries to download like it was for you, it’s an encoding issue from the servers side.
Good luck,

In reply to: An old biker’s siteI agree with ladydelaluna, very clean, colours flow nicely and it’s not too busy, so it doesn’t distract from the content.
Excellent site, keep it up! Almost makes me want to think about not being so terrified of motorcycles!

In reply to: Question: Static output possible?I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but HTTrack may be an excellent option. It’s basically designed to mirror the website, something similar to web whacker, but good and free. I think they have a web version available as well, to run off of a web server – I think.
At any rate, another possibility for you!
Good luck,

In reply to: Changes in post occur at edit but disappear if post edited againBesides the usual culprits of plug-ins and internet explorer, I would probably blame the WordPress boogie-man. I’ve found a few bizarre things here and there on my site and I have no other explanation sometimes!
You may want to upload a fresh copy of the programme to the server, just in case somethings been corrupted somewhere. Since the problem has persisted through versions, I’m guessing it’s some kind of wonky server thing. The other blog that you have, the normal one, is it on the same server as the wonky one?
Good luck,

In reply to: Christian Parent BlogI think it looks quite nice, it’s clean, easy-flowing and the photo in the header is very nice.
The ad banner at the top and the webring thingy look a bit odd. I think if you ad some padding around the webring thingy at the bottom, it might look a little more ‘native’ to the site, as it covers the border at the bottom. As for the ad banner at the top, it also seems to be cutting off the border a bit (I’m assuming there should be one at the top as well). Just my opinion, but I think it would make those elements appear more natural to the rest of the design.
Otherwise, it’s very well done!
Cheers,
Michael.
